Khufiya (2023)
Poor story telling
The movie got released today. Because of Badhon, I was waiting for it be released and finished seeing it just now.
General review: very poor storytelling. No proper introduction of why people are doing what they are doing. We don't know why Ravi is betraying his own country. There was a one liner explanation which definitely isn't enough to describe his motives. Don't know why his mother is helping him. Don't know why Badhon came to Tabu for help or even why she later joined another organization. There were a one liner explanation for some of those and those doesn't help much to understand the reasoning. And the ending climax can't be any poorer.
Overall, expected much from a director like Vishal Bhardwaj, both from storytelling and directional point of view.
Disappointed.
Baywatch (2017)
A Mediocre Beach Romp with Some Bright Spots
Baywatch offers a mixed bag of entertainment with a weak plot, a somewhat average acting performance, and the sizzling presence of Priyanka Chopra and Alexandra Daddario.
Let's start with the plot, or lack thereof. Baywatch struggles to find a cohesive and engaging storyline, often relying on a predictable formula of beachfront hijinks and shallow character arcs. The narrative feels disjointed and lacks the depth necessary to fully captivate the audience. While some moments of humor and camaraderie between the characters are present, they often fail to compensate for the overall flimsy premise.
In terms of acting, the cast's performance falls within a middling range. While not stellar, the actors manage to bring some energy and chemistry to their roles. Dwayne Johnson's charisma and comedic timing shine through, providing moments of amusement. Zac Efron, too, delivers a decent performance, although his character feels somewhat one-dimensional. However, it's Priyanka Chopra's appearance as the villainous Victoria Leeds that steals the show. She brings a magnetic presence and a touch of intrigue to her role, showcasing her acting abilities amidst the film's shortcomings.
Despite the weaknesses in plot and acting, Baywatch does offer some redeeming qualities. The film successfully captures the sun-soaked, glamorous essence of the original TV series, featuring picturesque beachscapes and attractive lifeguards. The action sequences, though over-the-top at times, are visually engaging and provide moments of excitement. Additionally, the comedic elements, although hit-or-miss, manage to elicit a few laughs throughout the film.
Ultimately, Baywatch can be seen as a passable, if forgettable, summer popcorn flick. Its weak plot and inconsistent acting prevent it from reaching its full potential, but the presence of Priyanka Chopra adds a spark of intrigue. Fans of the original series may find some nostalgic enjoyment in the film's visuals and references, but overall, it fails to leave a lasting impression.
In summary, Baywatch delivers a mediocre viewing experience with its weak plot and average acting. However, the sizzling performance by Priyanka Chopra and the film's aesthetic appeal help elevate it from complete disappointment. While it falls short of making a memorable impact, it might still be worth a casual watch for fans of beach-centric action-comedies.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Spectacular Action Overshadows Weak Plot
John Wick 4, the highly anticipated continuation of the renowned action franchise, delivers the expected adrenaline-pumping sequences and solid performances. However, it falters under the weight of a lackluster storyline and an increasing reliance on excessive gunfights, straying further from its roots with each new installment.
The movie was full of intense action sequences that have become a signature of the series. The choreography and execution of these scenes are undeniably impressive, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. The commitment to practical stunts and fight choreography elevates the film, and the acting remains decent throughout, lending credibility to the characters' motivations and struggles.
Regrettably, the film stumbles when it comes to its narrative. The story in John Wick 4 is disappointingly weak, riddled with plot holes that strain the audience's suspension of disbelief. It becomes apparent that the filmmakers prioritized the action set pieces over coherent storytelling, sacrificing depth and coherence in favor of mindless gunfights. While these sequences are undeniably thrilling, they begin to feel repetitive and tiresome as the film progresses, overshadowing the potential for a more engaging and nuanced plot.
In comparison to its predecessors, John Wick 4 lacks the finesse and balance that made the original film so compelling. The franchise seems to be drifting away from its initial focus, gradually descending into a sea of relentless violence. It is a missed opportunity for the filmmakers to explore new dimensions of the titular character and the intriguing world he inhabits.
Despite these shortcomings, John Wick 4 still manages to offer a satisfactory experience for fans of the series. The action sequences continue to impress, and the solid acting performances help sustain the film's momentum. However, to truly rejuvenate the franchise, the filmmakers need to invest more effort into crafting a cohesive and engaging storyline that complements the breathtaking action rather than overpowering it.
In conclusion, John Wick 4 falls short of its potential due to a weak plot and an excessive focus on relentless gunfights. While the film delivers on its promise of high-octane action and showcases commendable performances, it lacks the depth and substance that made the original a standout hit. It's an enjoyable but ultimately forgettable addition to the franchise.
Fast X (2023)
A Disastrous Ride
Fast X, the latest instalment in the popular franchise, fails to deliver on nearly every front, leaving audiences bewildered and disappointed. With a complete absence of a coherent plot, subpar acting, and a lack of any semblance of logic, this film falls flat and fails to live up to the standards set by its predecessors.
One of the most glaring issues with Fast X is its haphazard storyline or lack thereof. From the outset, it becomes apparent that the writers took a backseat, favouring over-the-top action sequences at the expense of a compelling narrative. The plot meanders aimlessly, introducing convoluted twists and turns that do little to engage or captivate the audience. It feels like a mere collection of random events loosely stitched together, resulting in a confusing and unsatisfying viewing experience.
Unfortunately, the deficiencies in the movie extend beyond the weak storyline. The performances by the cast are underwhelming, with stilted dialogue and unconvincing delivery. Even the franchise's seasoned actors seem disinterested and phoning in their performances. This lack of authenticity robs the film of any emotional depth or connection with the audience, leaving characters feeling one-dimensional and uninspiring.
Moreover, Fast X suffers from a serious lapse in logical coherence. While previous films in the franchise pushed the boundaries of believability, Fast X seems to have abandoned any semblance of rationality altogether. Spectacular and improbable stunts dominate the screen, defying the laws of physics without any explanation or context. This complete disregard for plausibility only serves to alienate viewers further and undermines the film's ability to suspend disbelief.
In summary, Fast X is a disastrous addition to the franchise. Its lack of a coherent plot, subpar acting, and nonsensical action sequences make for a frustrating and bewildering cinematic experience. Die-hard fans of the series may find moments of enjoyment amidst the chaos, but for most viewers, this film is a regrettable misstep. It fails to capture the essence of what made the franchise successful, leaving audiences longing for the days of well-crafted storytelling and engaging characters.
House of the Dragon (2022)
What is this?
After the very first episode, I became pretty excited about the series. Then, what happened? Episode after episode went by, but no real story had taken place yet. Just some family rivalry, that also without any actual happening. Is it a family drama? Six episodes into the series, yet there is nothing to be excited about.
I loved watching dragons in GOT. But, in HOTD, I feel pity watching them. Merely any impact in the storyline; instead just a kind of showoff. Here in HOTD, they became the object of child's play. Sorry Dragons, you deserve better.
What is this? After many years of preparation for a prequel, they came up with this? Disappointed.
Hawa (2022)
Awesome Cinematography, weak story
From the very beginning, the cinematography of the movie catches the eyes. Color grading, Camerawork, Music and Acting - all are totally on point. But, when the storytelling parts come, there are so many "but" and "why" that need to be answered.
The first half of the movie is a kind of story buildup time and after the interval, events got pace. My only regret is that a movie that could be a masterpiece with a rating of 9 easy, ended up being a great movie with an average story, just like the last season of "Game of Thrones". Only if they changed a couple of events at the end, it could be a long-remembered classic in Bangla Movie Industry.
The Batman (2022)
Hugely Disappointed
I love Batman and all the trailer was so well made. So, I definitely was hyped for the movie. Watched it on the opening day and the show was houseful, expectedly. But, oh man, this movie just did not do any justice to It's hype. So many loopholes were there. Most the dialogue are so poor. Did not feel any thrill in any fight scene(except only one, which I will not spoil by mentioning). No character were well developed and properly introduced. So, felt no connection with any character. Not even with Batman.
What about that mask of the catwoman? Did they have so much budget issue that they couldn't design a proper mask for her? And, the way they made it, what was the purpose of wearing that mask? Also, No proper backstory of her by which we can at least feel connected with her. With the story that were shown, the movie can be at least 30 minutes short, easily.
So much hyped and, much more disappointed.
Binsenjo (2021)
Last two episodes ruined the whole series
Why?
Such a nicely written and directed series it was, except last two episodes. Seems like writer and producer of the series lost track of the story. The time when friend was fighting with the enemy, instead of helping him, the key character was doing unnecessary things like untying rope(which surely can be done later) and watching the fighting! Hah!!
Same happened to the Game of Thrones also. In the last season, they rushed so much that, that ruined the whole show.
Pathetic to see such pathetic ending of an otherwise great show!
The Walking Dead (2010)
Good in the beginning. But later? Nah!
Whole 6th and 7th season are full of idiotic people doing loads of crapshit. Especially Morgan, Tyresse, Rosita, Sasha, Carl and some others were just unbearably idiot in their maximum activities which made others of their companion falling in danger again and again and again and people doesn't even care to make them remember about their shitty decision or activity. Maybe the writer got drunk in time of script writing or did not know what the episode should be about and just made some filler . First three or at best four seasons were okay. After that, the whole series, especially that Negan part became a big holy crap. For first four seasons I am happy to give 8/10. But after that? Nah, max 5/10.
Gunday (2014)
Go home Yash Raj, you are drunk
Total dumb ass
When you are making a historical movie or a movie based on any historical event, you have to present the it in right way. Or at least you have to keep eye on not distorting the fact.
But here in this movie, in the very beginning narrative talking, there are such a huge bending of the historical fact that surely I wanna say, it is totally intentional. They said, this was a India-Pakistan war. But the true fact is that, India joined the war just 13 days before our victory over Pakistan. Besides this, there are so many other factual distortion that it seems to be a intentional insult to the people of Bangladesh
