Manta, Manta - Zwoter Teil (2023)
pretty mid, but funny
So the dialogues could have been much better. The acting is also pretty mediocre. The story is pretty lame and uninterestingly told, but I got some good laughs in. It's supposed to be a comedy and in that regard it certainly works.
The camerawork is fantastic. The sound design is great. The music sucks in my opinion for the most part, but other than that well I had fun in the cinema. It's an enjoyable movie for a broad audience.
I appreciate Til Schweiger way more in these kind of movies than him playing the depressed old guy. The movie had no depth, which always works in Germany for bigger audiences.
Just my personal opinion. Looking forward to the 3rd installment.
Sam - A Saxon (2023)
nothing special but worth watching
It's worth watching, because it's a true story and the man's life is truly interesting.
But the acting is mediocre. Sound is mediocre. Most songs really didn't resonate with me at all. Cinematography is pretty good. Nice camerawork. Great sets. Wardrobe works. Fantastic story, but not so great dialogues.
A lot of the jokes seemed forced and a lot of old jokes were just reused rather than come up with new things to say. Like the whole coconut thing. They've used that in so many movies already, at least put a new spin on it if you have to use an old joke.
There was a lot of filler, that did not seem meaningful to the story or the main character. It seemed like the producers wanted to stretch a movie into a series.
Just my personal opinion.
