Kung Fu Yoga (2017)
3/10
Hard to watch
1 August 2023
I loved Jacky Chan's movies in the past, and Chinese movies in general. But this one. This one is hard to watch. Bad storytelling, boring jokes, so-so actions. And the actors are just bad. It seems like they just read the script into the camera, not acting. The actions (despite the title has "Kung fu" in it), is just usual. Nothing kungfu-worth. CGI also bad. Jokes are plain. Like an unseasoned dish. I cringed many times watching this movie. Didn't find anything funny to laugh of their jokes.

I used to love Jackie Chan. But now, I really think he should retire well. The glory of Jackie Chan's era is finally over.

Reminiscence for Mario fans!
4 June 2023
Combining all elements from retro and new Mario games, this movie is AMAZING! I'm a big fan of Mario since it's first debut Nintendo, and I love this movie very much! Many easter eggs and reference to the games. From classic Nintendo to Nintendo Switch verion, it's just amazing. Illumination is definitely very good at animation as well, even better than Disney/Pixar animation. The voice actor (Pratt, Black) definitely did amazing job as well. The soundtrack, 10/10 for me. "Peaches" definitely will stuck in my head for a long long time. Great work, Nimtendo & Illumination! Definitely 10/10 for me.

Cyrano (2021)

Bad songs, but Dinklage shines
20 April 2022
I've seen many musical movies, but this is one of the worst. The songs are terrible.. just terrible. But Peter Dinklage is amazing. As for the rest of the cast acts average.

Brilliant and enjoyable!
20 November 2021
The 60s era is really well captured and executed, along with the soundtracks and dances. The storyline itself is very good, eventhough the first 30 mins is a little bit slow. Thomasin and Anya's duet are really amazing here. Love the collaboration, from ghe director, actors, actresses, music scores. Amazing!

Funny and entertaining!
4 September 2021
I don't care whatever the imdb users rate this show, but I love this one! It is one of the well-done comedy-action movie compared to other shows similar. The dialogues, jokes, actions, are pretty funny. I can't stop laughing for the entire show. Very funny and entertaining.

Jungle Cruise (2021)
8/10
Entertaining!
21 August 2021
I usually sceptictal about Disney's movies (live action, movies). But I found Jungle Cruise is really fun and enjoyable to watch! Emily Blunt is stunning as always. Dwayne J., who usually I don't really like his movies, is very good here. The storytelling, scene by scene, are very entertaining. A pretty solid show for a Disney movie.

James Gunn is brilliant!
14 August 2021
I enjoy watching this show so much. Much much better than 2016 Suicide Squad. Fun to watch, enjoyable, James Gunn is such a maestro in directing action movies like this. We should have more this kind of show like this.

Just tired of being fast
14 August 2021
FF 6, 7 are good. But this 9th? I can't stand it. Maybe I'm just tired of another FF sagas, or.. maybe they should know when to stop.

Cruella (2021)
9/10
Disney doesn't dissappoint with this one
16 June 2021
When I first saw Cruella's trailer, there's a fear in me that Disney will ruin this one just like what it did with Mulan. But I was wrong. Cruella is great! The origin story of her, the conflict, the rise and fall, everything is perfect.

But what really stunned me is the wardrobe department, who dressed both Emma. Cruella & Baroness looked really stunning! A throwback to Devil Wears Prada. Dark yet entertaining like some DCU movies. And the soundtracks just really nice from the era.

Cruella is great! Disney does not dissappoint with this one.

Mulan (2020)
4/10
Poorly executed
11 September 2020
I love Disney, and almost all the remakes are great. Except for this one. Mulan 2020 is one of the worst movie made by Disney.

Liu Yifei - much like Kristen Stewart in her early days in Twilight - poor actings, almost same expression in every emotion. Script, poorly written. And poorly executed.

I feel like Disney has gone too far. Maybe it needs to slow everything down, and try to put extra effort and attention make small numbers but great movie.

Guns Akimbo (2019)
4/10
What movie I just watched!
3 May 2020
Nice cast. Daniel R. Is awesome, and Samara Weaving. But the story itself is very lame, predictable, and pure just for fun watching. Conflicts, climax, all so predictable, undercooked.

I really hope such talent like Daniel R. should be casted in movie with great storyline, following Leonardo Dicaprio steps from kid star to more mature and great movies, not this kind of movie. I guess he really just can't move on from his Harry Potter image.

Too different from the book
12 October 2018
At first when I saw the trailer, I was so excited and thought "Finally, a remake of Agatha Christie's masterpiece!". But after I watched the movie that night, I can't hide I was so disappointed.

The movie is so different from the book! And many of the scenes are exaggerated, and some important parts from the books are not included in the movie. Some characters lost or exchanged names. No "dr. Constantine", Greta Ohlsson changed into Pilar Estravados, Antonio replaced by some Italian name I can't remember. Some of the characters' personality are also too much for me. Count Andreyi is a... count. It's impossible he is so temperamental in the movie (while in the book Count Andreyi are more respected and well-behaved).

Disappointing, for a Christie's adaptation.

A very very slow movie
30 August 2018
One word to sum up my review: slow.

It seems like this movie has a very short storyline, but the director stretched for 2 hours long. Very very slow and boring. Took almost 1.5 hrs to build character and the climax only 30 mins before the movie ends.

Baaghi 2 (2018)
2/10
Die Hard Bollywood's version
17 June 2018
300 armed thugs, 2 choppers with gatling gun, and thousand of shots cannot even kill this guy! Man, this guy is unkillable! I've seen many action movies, but this is the first I saw a guy can shoot perfectly on the target while doing somersault.

Handsome and ripped actors, plus beautiful actress, I think these are only the good points for this movie. Storyline is easily guessed.

I don't recommend to watch this movie. But if u're looking for some guilty pleasure, then go on.

Ocean's Eight (2018)
8/10
Entertaining for a reboot
10 June 2018
Eventhough the storyline is so predictable, but I'm quite entertained by many cameos on this movie. I watched Ocean 11-13, but this 8 with all girls cast are so entertained to watch.

Anna Hathaway's acting steals the screen and my attention most. Helena's also. It's so fun to watch this thief- genre movie again finally after years.

Boring and not entertaining
9 June 2018
I suppose this is a Disney movie and it should be great. But it turns out this is a boring movie. Poor acting by Meg and Charles Wallace. Yes it does have some well known stars like Chris Pine, Oprah, and Reese. But their actings ruined by poor special fx, storyline, and shots.

3 out of 10 stars it is.
