Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Yet another safe and predictable movie
Marvel does it again - delivers a safe and predictable movie. Each character is protected by plot armor. The hero initially struggles, but always manages to overcome his/her challenges, even when facing deadly wounds. No injury is fatal and the villain would rather chat than kill. The police doesn't even fire bullets at the heroes after surrounding them.
On the positive side, the effects are amazing. The CGI/animation team has, as always, outdone themselves. The scene of the water city is incredible and can definitely rival the new Avatar movie. Underwater caption is dope. I just wish that the plot lived up to the effects. That Hollywood could grow some balls and create an actual compelling story that's realistic and has depth, rather than these shallow hero save the day type of movies.
The Northman (2022)
Wanted to walk out
Wanted to walk out of this movie by the ten minute mark. Throw popcorn at the screen after an hour. I thought it was terrible.
The plot was rushed and undeveloped, which for such a simple concept seems impossible. No level of cinematography can make up for a story that fails to catch any interest what so ever. It doesn't matter that it's historically correct or that the costumes are flawless.
My biggest surprise is that the movie is getting such great reception, when the story is as shallow as a puddle. Pointless action scenes leading up to pointless revenge.
As fellow Scandinavians, everyone in the screening I attended should have wanted to love it. But not a single soul did.
I'm utterly disappointed. Afraid that I'll lose faith in humanity. Modern cinema can't just be
intended for simpletons; all about recycled stories and beautiful cinematography.
La casa de papel (2017)
The script for the later seasons is so horrible I don't know what to say
Totally adored the first robbery, but after that I don't know what the heck happened to the show.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Libertus (2012)
Liam isn't pulling his weight as the new Spartacus
Season 1 was great. Cast is very believable. But, once Liam enters, as Spartacus, it ruins the captivating experience. In his defence, it's no easy role to take.
Knives Out (2019)
Great story but way too slow
Great story, but plot is way too slow. Daniel Craig's fake accent is strange. I really wanted to like this movie. But, it just wasn't captivating enough. Although I can't say exactly what shouldve been done differently.
Altered Carbon (2018)
Amazing season one, mockery season two
Season one was simply put fantastic, despite a bit of a bumpy start. Refreshing story, sweet cinematics, exciting. Second season is a mockery. Plot is off. Main character feels misplaced, superseded by the rest of the cast. Extremely disappointed as I had been awaiting the release of season two for quite some time.
