Aquaman (2018)
Did everyone else see a different movie?
Predictable, dull, poor special effects, silly meaningless scenes, poor acting.
A lot of wide feet posturing, and billowing deep voices; but it does not deliver. Packing a slap with a wet fish; this one opens being silly and gets more silly.
So I took it at face value and tongue in cheek movie for the almost cartoon superhero.
But even that was too much for this. The special effects were so poor, I tasked myself with finding the worst ones! Who morphed the faces onto the cartoons did well, but it was so OTT that you cannot take it seriously.
Bright lighting/lights take your eyes away from the scenes, but it is so poor; I swear Willem Dafoe is laughing while he says his lines.
The narrator made me laugh - how silly and far fetched - too far fetched for people, maybe in a cartoon.
The storyline was created ad-hoc during the movie, seemingly, to fit in and add something to this POS.
It really is steaming, you can taste it the smell is that bad.
It is BORING and unintentionally funny' it's that bad..
My daughters school play had lines delivered better than this - seriously.
You may find something to like about this movie; I couldn't.
The sequel WILL be avoided, unless I have no arms, legs and cannot control my mouth or communicate at all. This is so bad it should get it's own category.
Jue di tao wang (2016)
OMG did someone buy positive IMDb votes?
I have to start by saying I have a vested interest: I like breathing.
That said, this movie made me want to stop breathing.
First the two main actors have ZERO chemistry, in fact some scenes look like the are blue screening against each other and it was filmed with each actor in a different country. It really is that bad. Jackie is also looking a little 'tired' - when you see a 62 year old Grandfather in an action movie lead; a little bit of hero status gets chipped away. As for Knoxy, he too was looking a little jaded at 45 he is beginning to look more like 'Max Headroom' (UK Channel 4).
The plot, well, if you take a scene from all JC's movies in the last 20 years, then you get the exact plot of this movie. Only this one is sooooo much worse.
The Director, not wanting to blaspheme and also be sued for libel. I must say the director had plopsy slopsy to work with, but he even made a pigs ear of that.
Even the costumes were clunky and cliché - not purposeful.
Jackie, I have to say you are a hero of mine, please don't do this, you have more to loose than the other starlets or desperados in this movie; I am sorry Jackie, but I cannot lie. Please be true to yourself.
Other than that perhaps this movie could be used as a training exercise...
I only hope that someone was able to retire on the back of that.
