Triple 9 (2016)
A boring lullaby
I won't waste much of my time writing this review, but this movie is just plain boring. I won't blame the cast, they're excellent. Everyone gave their best and the story too doesn't seem bad. Chiwetel, Woody, Kate Winslet and everyone else has done very well.The ending too was good enough.
But the screenplay isn't tight or gripping. This feels like one of those bad Oscar movies where every minute of a scene is expanded to great lengths showing faces, feelings etc and you would feel sleepy watching it. The director and writers feel like a bad choice for a good story. At least this isn't an Oscar worthy movie. All in all, this is just a boring but a soothing lullaby to make you sleep in minutes.
Dictator (2016)
Senseless movie which has a lot of wasted efforts
This is one of those movies where you would feel like you just wasted your time and energy by watching this. The movie has the same storyline that is getting repeated since ages. None of the actors had the chance of proving their best. Most of them including character artists or even comedians didn't get enough time and script to gain some applause. Of course, it isn't their fault anyways. There are a lot of villains and bad guys but none of them are menacing. Many might not like the concept of a female villain but still Rati is not menacing in any way. One of the main even more wasted efforts is Sonal Chauhan. Even though she gets all the marks for glamor and performance, her character is as if it is just placed so that they can get a song and couple of scenes to tick the glamor quotient. But at least, she does this much better than that of Legend movie. Anjali did best here given that her character has some importance.
Coming to technical aspects, production values are average and camera work is OK. Thaman's music is average but would work well with typical mass dances. It seems background music is done by somebody else, but it looks average too and doesn't help the poor screenplay anyways. Finally, the direction is average too. The screenplay and direction neither elevated hero level scenes nor they worked with villains nor they worked with comedians and other actors. Dialogues by Ratnam are as good as that of Legend's but these days I'm not sure why there should be a lot of misplaced and unnecessary build up dialogs for most of the movies.
The only saving grace in the movie is, NBK who often does his best. He tried pretty hard to dance well but it isn't his fault with choreography. He looked good and did his best. Apart from him, Anjali gave her best and Sonal too did her best even though her role is negligible.
Finally, there is no way I can say this is a must watch even for a casual time pass. Just a wasted effort, but, at least, better than Lion movie.
Inception (2010)
What a movie it was..!! Nolan hats off to you..
What should I say about this movie..?? Trust me, there's no other movie in Hollywood that makes you so involved in it and there's no movie such interesting and fantastic as this..Its the future..Its the masterpiece..Spectacular, Extravagant, and Magnum Opus.
There's no need to tell the story because whether you know the story or nor you'll not understand the movie unless you watch it. Though the story seems little bit confusing and we can't understand what actually it is, Nolan's direction eliminates this confusion. It looks more easier and simpler to understand when we see the film. We will be completely involved in it and our brains will have no other thought except the movie. Even I was unable to believe that i really watched a film that is 2 hrs 28 mins long. There's no problem if it is more lengthy and we would have still enjoyed it.
All the actors did their maximum. DiCaprio balanced all the emotions intelligently and i could say he's the perfect match for the character.I would say Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy are the special attraction for the movie. Nolan extracted a great level of talent from Ellen Page and it was her best and convincing performance till now..Other actors also did well but it's a disappointment for me to see Marion Cotillard for such a short period of time,because I'm a fan of her. But however it was meaningful why her role appears for very less period of time and the character 'Mal' had its own importance in the plot.
All the technical dept. worked well enough to make the movie more appealing. I'm slightly disappointed with the background score, i think the movie requires more better score. Visual effects are great and it appears as if everything is really happening.Screenplay was wonderful and made the movie more simpler to understand.
It's a Nolan's movie guys. One by one there's much improvement and perfection in his films. After a few films I don't know how he could make films more perfectly because when he goes on and reaches 10/10 and we all increase our expectations,how will be the next one.? Its the magic of Nolan and he know how to impress us. Never in history was a director like him.I'm very much eager to see more and more of his films.
Clash of the Titans (2010)
Just an average fantasy flick
This movie is just good and doesn't live up to the expectations.
All the actors gave a normal performance.Sam was good..Other actors did well too..Gemma Arterton was more appealing.
The background score was average.All the sets were good.Locations were delightful.
The movie's plot is very similar to Percy Jackson and lightning thief. But Percy Jackson movie was better than this.
What makes the movie more appealing is its Visual Effects..It was an excellent CGI work..The scorpion fight,flying horse, Medussa scenes and climax with kraken were astonishing.Watch this movie only in 3d or else the movie would seem nothing interesting..
Overall the movie is average..Looks much better in 3d
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Impressive Sequel..!!
The first one was a fine masterpiece and this sequel is really pleasing and doesn't disappoint you at all in spite of some flaws.
All the actors have done their best..RDJ adds some more taste to his performance..Gwyneth Paltrow,Sam Rockwell,Mickey Rourke and others have done well..Terrence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle..But I think Howard was better..Samuel L. Jackson is more appealing..Scarlett Johansson's stunningly beautiful appearance and her fighting skills nearly stole the entire show.
The Visual Effects were great and very delightful. Humour was adequate. Sound Effects, Action and Music added more delight.The Director Jon Favreau has done it again, with great style and flair.
The Beginning was good and the climax was awesome with huge effects.The film goes on creating more interest and we think what happens next.But there were some mediocre and boring scenes. Some of them worsen our interest but doesn't deviate from the motive of the film.The movie's mood was same as the first one but would have been better if it was more thrilling.
There are some laughable scenes.The climax is really a visual delight.Action and style was much more better.
Overall the movie is made very well and an excellent continuation of the franchise.Really it was more pleasing and i would love to see it again..
