Reviews

The movie is good. I mean, really good. No, there are no such things as some deep social problems and all that, no. This film doesn't need that, 'cause it's a high-quality blockbuster, which has only one job is to entertain. And it's done. I think it doesn't really matter if you're a fan of D&D or just a casual movie enjoyer, because this movie has something for everyone. Not ironically, it really does.

Well, yeah, I got nothing more to say, to be honest, because I don't really want to go into the "spoiler" section, but I need 131 character for this review to be published, so here we go. Thank you for reading!

Before watching, I expected to get a solid action film, perhaps without a particularly ordinary script, but with good memorable characters. In the end, all my expectations turned out to be false. Marvel once again simply exploits the characters and wants to squeeze the most money out of them.

Let's look at the development of the main character. In the fourth solo film, it would not be bad to see God, who survived a huge loss and somehow changed, but we will not be shown this, because we will be shown Thor, who continues to have fun and discard jokes. The main character has not matured at all and has not changed compared to the third solo film.

To the plot. It would seem that we have a villain who believes that all Gods are bad, but there is Thor, who is also God, but good and helps everyone. It is only necessary to connect these two points, and that's it, that's a great solution to morality and the problem of the main antagonist, but the writers go down a tortuous path. They give us Valkyrie, Korg, some Guardians of the Galaxy, but why? These characters are just for fun, so that you can come up with more jokes, but no more, they don't even help the plot in any way. In the final battle, you just had to leave the main protagonist and antagonist alone, because they are already the ideal solution to the problem, but for some reason they put in some helpers, and the solution to all problems is just love. In the finale, the film says love each other, and then everything will be fine, but only we weren't told a word about it before, they didn't give any clues about it, and the problem of the main villain did not appear because of this at all, but the message decided to just go the other way. Sometimes you even get the feeling that the script was written just for the sake of ridiculous jokes. For example, like a scene with naked Thor, which does not change the plot in any way, and if it is cut out, then surprisingly nothing will change.

Summing up, I want to add that I stopped following the MCU after Endgame and it seems like I did the right thing.

This film is very different from all previous Tarantino's works. He is deprived of his usual plot dynamics and cunning games with dialogs, although dialog are good, as usual. This is the deepest work of maestro, which gets stuck in the soul and rolls lumpy to the throat.

The movie itself literally asks the question "what if?". Unfortunately, understanding the picture won't work without the context.

The story tells us about disappointment, sadness, and the broken hopes that filled the era. We see how it all began and we know what it all led to. A lot of things did not justify themselves, but then people believed that the world has a chance to become better. And Tarantino showed this faith, this piece of innocence and hope that is in every person, through the character of Sharon. Margot Robbie played her very good, and she imprinted in my memory like a bright sun.

This movie has everything: humor, and lengthy shoots of Booth rolling around the city, and even a flamethrower. This is an integral work, each detail of which is in its place.

The film may seem a little prolonged at first, but the desire to rewatch arose immediately after the end of the session.

For the first time we see a mysterious monolith still for long before appearance of the first human. Stanley Kubrick in the company of the screenwriter Arthur Clark shows to the viewer of monkeys. These are the beings, rather primitive from the point of view of social lines, who don't have accurate public organization. But here on the horizon the mysterious Black Obelisk appears. Creators only begin to provide the thinnest surgical hints to the viewer as a food for thought. Opinions of most of both film critics, and mere mortals dispersed about it from the moment of the movie premiere.

The further travel to Jupiter looks awesome, with fascinating sounds and the color images rushing before the astronaut's eyes. The long episode of an unreal travel sharply breaks with a scene in usual, quite realistic situation in the living room where the traveler endures the accelerated aging and regeneration, having come to be an image of the star child. The star child who comes up from a monolith in space is result of this coition. This creation which received absolute knowledge, having experienced physical death and having revived, smoothly moves towards Earth. There, having found a physical body, the star child will differ from other people as well as modern people from the space station differ from the monkeys.

The musical motifs (Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra, Johann Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz) will forever bring the film to mind, and snippets of its minimalist dialogue ("Open the pod bay doors, Hal", "Good morning, Dave") pop up in homages and cultural references.

In the end just wanna tell, that this is one of the best movies ever. With fantastic atmosphere, deep philosophical implication and a nonlinear plot. All of this forces your gray substance moves and to look for a way to a necessary enlightenment. And here, when you would seem it is already close to it, "the space Odyssey" quickly slips out your "hands", leaving you alone with own thoughts.

When I have seen a trailer of this movie the first time, I have thought that it will be quite the watchable project. Oh, how I was mistaken at that moment...

The movie is pretty good. You know, I from those people who hadn't liked the seventh episode. Therefore, going on the new movie, I didn't wait something special from it. But this film had some moments which made me fell in love with it. For example, scenes, which shot from a back of X-Wing and which created an awesome atmosphere of the presence. Or really cool moment with Darth Vader, who is attacking rebels squad. All of this just couldn't leave me indifferent.

As a result we have received really interesting movie, which I boldly recommend to both fans and non-fans alike. And I really hope the other Star Wars movies will learn from this masterpiece.
