Stranger Things (2016)
Good premise but poor execution..
I watched this show bcoz it's kinda popular among the 9gag community, the reason why I also watched Game of Thrones. I expected a quality show just like GoT but boy..I was completely wrong. I'm an 80s kid so I'm familiar with all the reference from that period. But a nostalgic feeling isn't enough to save this show. First of all..Wynona Rider acting is just awful. And the story goes from interesting to confusing. It's like they struggle to place bits and pieces and also to explain what's really happening. Not to mention that this show is trying too hard to be PC. I watched season 2 hoping it'll get better. It didn't. This is just a below par show and it's really overhyped..
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)
Too many characters and also meh story..
The CGI is good..but then again also The Transformers. You can't just only rely on CGI..the story must also good. The nagini part is cool. But the Credence and Leta Lestrange parts are a bit forced. A proud pure blood wizard had romantic feelings to a black woman? Sounds a bit too PC. And what's with the changing babies story? And Aurelius Dumbledore..really? Why we never heard about that one before in the Potter books? All and all it's a visual feast with confusing and not so interesting story. Depp, Law and Redmayne gave a good performance. And the hogwarts bit is nice. Hopefully it will get better next time..
The Night Comes for Us (2018)
The greatest action movie of all time..
I enjoy The Raid..and I love The Raid 2. But this movie is so much better. After the credits rolled..I feel numb. Coz I think I've just seen the greatest action movie ever made. The cinematography and editing in this movie put all Marvel movies to shame. Iko Uwais set the bar really high for fighting choreography..I don't think any hollywood movie can match this. Joe Taslim v Iko fight really is mesmerizing. The girls esp Julie Estelle are truly amazing. Even the other characters like White Boy Bobby, Fatih, Shinta, Yohan and the talented lil Reina..everyone is brilliant. I can't say anything else..just enjoy it..
Game of Thrones (2011)
Best show ever..
What can I say..it's the best TV show that I've ever seen. The plot, the characters, the settings, the dialogues..everything is top notch. The gory and nude scenes are well crafted. Overall it's an amazing experience. Some people said the last couple of seasons are a bit dissapointing. I beg to differ. Season 6 has 2 of the best episodes in Battle of the Bastards and Winds of Winter. Season 7 is amazing with all the reunions of the Stark kids, first encounter of the main casts and the incredible war scenes. It's gonna be really hard to top this show..and I'm lookin forward to the final season..
Dilan 1990 (2018)
This movie is really bad in all aspect..
First of all..this movie is a financial success. Very popular in Indonesia. And that makes me think..are Indonesians really that dumb? Ok..what's the positive thing about this movie? The acting from the female lead is decent..and she's easy on the eyes. Other than that..none. The story is so cheesy and the male lead is so unlikable I wanna punch him in the face! And the dialogues..urghh. After halfway of the movie I got out from the theater to smoke a cigarette for like 15 mnts. I just dont care about what happen next or the ending. This movie is trying so hard to be the next 'Ada Apa Dengan Cinta'..and failed miserably. Please just stay away from this garbage..
Serbuan maut 2: Berandal (2014)
This is an instant classic!
I feel like I have to write a review for this movie now..eventhough I watched it 4 yrs ago when this movie came out. The main reason is bcoz I just watched Mile 22 and Wiro Sableng, both movies starred Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian respectively. If you watch those 2 movies coz you wanna see glorious fight scenes like in the Raid movies, you'll be really dissapointed. And that's bcoz those movies dont have Gareth Evans in charge. The Raid movies will remain a masterpiece unlike any other bcoz of the fantastic collaboration between Evans, Iko and Yayan. It's really sad to see the magnificent coreography by both Uwais and Ruhian got wasted bcoz of an incompetent action director..
Wiro Sableng 212 (2018)
Fun but could be better..
If there's one thing that we can learn from both Mile 22 and Wiro Sableng..the real star of the Raid movies is Gareth Evans. Evans really is the master of action martial art movie..probably the best right now. Tbh..I had more fun watching Wiro Sableng than Mile 22. The story is simple..a kid saved by a silat master after his parents were murdered by the main villain. Many years after..he seek revenge. And they mix it up with a royal coup and a couple of hot chicks. The humor could be better handled..as well as the special effect. Overall this movie has its moments. But considering the big budget, it could be better..much better..
Mile 22 (2018)
Really dissapointed on this one..
I really wanna like this movie..just bcoz it has Iko Uwais in it. Unfortunately, I can't find anything remotely interesting in this movie. The fight scenes which can be great bcoz of Uwais, destroyed spectacularly by the use of shaky cam and bad editing. The story is so absurd I can't believe anyone would put money on this movie. Overall I'm truly dissapointed..
Titanic (1997)
The Best Movie Ever Made
What can I say. I watched the movie everytime it's on cable. 20 yrs later..it's still the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. Everything is so perfect. The cinematography, the storyline, the acting, the score, the special effect. I doubt people will make a better movie than this in the next 50 yrs. James Cameron is a genius..
