Post credits scene confirms Black Widow's death and her sister is given the assignment to kill Hawkeye. This means this was Black Widow's last appearance at least as far as a solo movie is concerned. I think Black Widow deserved a better movie than this. She's been in the MCU since the beginning and given her skills a great movie could have been made. I mean the comics exist so why such a stupid story. I have no problem with the cast of this movie. It's the story and the CGI climax.

The supporting cast is great and Florence Pugh carried this movie. It's not Scarlett's fault. Her character was not great on screen, again a problem in the writing department. Dad's character was pretty lame as well. Taskmaster could have been great but was not used properly.

Talking about the plot. It was all over the place. I was looking forward to a great one on one fighting sequence between the Black Widow and the Taskmaster but instead got unnecessary CGI mess. That too cheap CGI.

Marvel has all the resources in the world to make a great movie for one of their most popular heroes but instead we got this straight-to-dvd feel flick.

I would like to start by praising the exceptional work of Carl Theodor Dreyer. This is the third film I have watched of him and he knows what and how to capture with style. Joan of Arc and Ordet are in my list of All time favorite movies. This, however, didn't rub the right way with me. I am not sure what was the reason he chose for the actors to act in a such a way that they appear to be cardboard cutouts. We are talking about love here and relationships of a lifetime but those emotions and feelings are missing in the actors.

I have given a low rating to this movie only because of the plot. There is nothing about the title character that is worth caring about. She can be compared to a drug addict people killing gangster who at the end of their line are thinking about what they have done. Gertrud here is a mature woman but she never acts like one. The whole scene with her ex husband was pointless. She knew it's over, spoiler alert that's why they separated, but she still chose to talk about all that nonsense knowing the conversation is not gonna go anywhere. She tried to have an affair while still married to Gustav but that didn't work out either for her. I felt very happy when Gustav kicked her out. I'm sure he would have felt better later. The entire time I could only think of a selfish gangster trying to paint a sad picture of his life in order for audience to like him. Sorry, not working.

I'm watching a 60 year old movie and if I'm watching it I want something of value out of it like the other two movies of the director I mentioned. I'm watching movies from Steven Schneider's 1001 Movies You Should Watch Before You Die and this one certainly isn't a must see.

I found this movie on the list of top 1000 movies ever made. I have watched top 100 so far and all these films are from the oldest of times and from anywhere on this earth. I wanted to watch this film for a long time and I felt cheated after watching it.

Long and slow movie but I loved the pace. I love drama films and it was going great. Acting Is perfect. Soundtrack sits well with the scenery. Editing and directing is on point. Plot is my problem. It didn't need that twist in the end. Not sure why the writers put it there. I don't rate movies differently if they end on a happy note or a sad note.

Watch it for the beautiful cinematography and that's about it.

I'm not familiar with 1970s events but the ones I'm familiar with and presented here are deeply flawed.

9/11 attacks had two sides, official and conspiracy. Conspiracy theorists claimed it was inside job and official story claimed it was terrorists from Saudi Arabia. Movie says it was from some other middle eastern country. When you make a claim like that provide some proof.

2016 elections went the way it did because people didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton. People didn't choose Trump as their president. People chose Hillary Clinton as not their president.

As mentioned in other reviews here, Curtis jumps from topic to topic which doesn't have real connection but he makes it look like so. Since the two events I'm familiar with are greatly flawed I cannot agree if all the other events shown are completely true. Hence, 1 star for this film.

I am a big fan of Korean thrillers. They have this vibe which one won't get to see in a Hollywood flick. This movie is worth a watch. It is a gripping thriller and the title is apt.

The plot follows a wealthy man living with his family. The family is living in a posh locality and luxurious apartments. Our lead character here is hiding his past from the family which comes haunting both for him and his family. His brother is back from jail and is looking for him. When our lead finds this out, strange and dangerous things start happening to him and his family.

Lead decides to check out the place where his brother resides, those apartments are the most interesting thing I have seen in a movie. Them apartments are run down with each apartment having secret passages connecting to other apartments. In those secret passages a serial killer is hiding. The scenes in those apartments are very gripping and full of suspense. Each passage is opening into a new world of mystery.

The only thing which destroys the plot is the very essence of the plot, the secret killer and the missing people. There are people missing in those apartments and looks like police is not doing there job or maybe the police don't exist. What our lead finds out in those apartments could have been found by police in a day or two.

Nonetheless the movie still checks out as a nice thriller you would wanna watch and get lost in those secret passages.
