The Great Gatsby (2013)
Totally dull...should've gone straight to DVD instead of 3D
I went to see this movie because of DiCaprio, who became a guarantee for a good movie lately. Well, not this time.
The story itself is typical Hollywood-style romantic-"drama", actually not that lame by default, but whoever wrote the script and done the directing, got the worst out of it.
I felt like watching a 3rd category Brazilian soap-opera, where they drag every obvious step or act well beyond the border of annoyance.
Gatsby's character is really irritating and stupid and the 'mistery' around him is really poorly constructed. Also I'd be surprised if DiCaprio (or anyone else) would get nominated for his acting.
The worst thing in all is that there is no really action, just some trumped and endless suffering of some rich-ass people combined with abominably bad directing.
I'd rather watch the Cloud Atlas (which was quite a pain as well) 10 times than this movie again.
Some of my friends liked it, no idea why, but maybe there is an audience for such movie, I'm not just part of it. Anyways, in case you decide to go for it and you're not liking it after the first 15 minutes, don't expect any change later. Just leave and save 2 hrs or suffering.
Lincoln (2012)
Good acting, but the whole story is just boring
If you're expecting some mind-blowing movie (and why wouldn't you do with 12 Oscar nominations), well, you're gonna be pretty disappointed. Asides of Daniel Day-Lewis' acting, which is quite okay, the whole story is just flat, from the beginning till the end. There is nothing new in it at all, it is lack of any twists, original idea and excitement. For me it was like a brunch of similar movies montaged together - and montaged really badly from the perspective of excitement.
You have a president struggling a lot, but finally succeeding, a son, who joins the war despite of the prohibition of the father, a worried mother, an excited little brother, who does not really get the whole picture; of course politicians in the White House roaring like an uncivilized horde, some caring more about their personal benefits than the future of the country...and most of all, boring debates and discussions about slavery again and again and again and again and...
Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009)
Big disappointment
I'm very surprised about the other comments here - maybe I was watching a different version or I don't know, but this movie is very poor and way below Van Damme's average. Plot sucks (very week, probably was created in a 5 minute brainstorm meeting, like: 'shall we try to squeeze out a little extra by making the third part?' - 'Yeah, sure, just make sure budget doesn't go over 1 million USD' - 'okay'), acting is awful if there's any (random people from the street could have been better), no special effect...but the worst of all: no more good fight scenes, no more Van Damme moves. He is old, that's the fact and shouldn't have gone for this movie... If you wanna go for a watchable movie with ex-action stars, should rather watch Rocky 6.
Universal Soldiers (2007)
So bad....
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I would not even call it a movie. I don't know how it is possible to release such kind of terrible crap. I wanted to give 0 points but there is no such thing, unfortunately. The basic story would be OK, but the whole move does not worth a dime. Directing is extremely poor, actors ... I would not even call them actors, special effects very lame and the whole things was... well I don't know what to write 10 lines regarding this movie, it was
SO
B A D !!!
TERRIBLE!
Do not ever watch it!
