A fantasy movie for american citizens
25 March 2024
They made a movie about an American and represented American pride but the filmmakers didn't understand anything about war, the characters weren't realistic. The most pointless, thoughtless movie I've ever seen.

I understand this is a brainless movie and made for entertainment but come on, it's stupid. The dialogue is bland and uninteresting, the story lacks depth and more.

The action scenes are like other 80s movies, not bad and there is a decent helicopter fight scene. But beyond that it has no value at all, flashy on the outside but meaningless on the inside.

Is this character iconic? For what, for annoying stupidity and nationalistic self-aggrandizement. Except for the first part, which shows the pain and obsession of soldiers after the war, the following parts take the character too far, a potential character but are exploited in the wrong way.

How to make a rambo movie: rambo + fabricated history and characters + national pride = action masterpiece.

The Faculty (1998)
Not a movie review, just a few lines ....
22 October 2022
It's not a perfect movie, but it's entertainingly perfect. What's better than an entertaining movie with the most interesting elements? For me, whether an academic film or a mere entertainment, the first thing needed is attraction. People are justifying this is a stupid movie and giving it a low rating, but everyone should admit it's fun.

The story is simple and learns from the previous movies, but it's not faded, but there are more interesting things. The characters are the same, but this is a 90's movie and although the character has an old build, it is still special.

I'm surprised that people underestimate this movie and look at horror movies now it's really catastrophic. Anyway I like the movie.

The Ring (2002)
Not as good as the original and too wordy
20 October 2022
The original did so well and really doesn't need a remake. The story has changed a bit but the plot of the movie has not changed much compared to the original . The story begins and ends exactly like the original.

The movie is not as scary as people say. The original gave me goosebumps but this one doesn't. The sound and visual effects of the original are quite rudimentary but effective. The new version is better in terms of visuals and sounds, but it's really not that scary. It stops at a temporary level.

The movie is lengthy and tells too much when it's not necessary.

In short, if you've seen the original, you don't need to watch the remake.

Not as good as 2015 minions but I'll give it a favor
10 July 2022
There is a problem with the pace in the movie, it's quite rushed.

The way to deal with the situation is too simple.

Quite old humor sometimes a bit cheesy.

People are appreciating this movie more than the first part. But for me it's not good enough, plus 0.5 point for the bananas.

6.5+0.5/10.

Em Va Trinh (2022)
Not excellent but i quite like it
18 June 2022
  • The film is made by a director who is not loved by many movie fans in Vietnam.


-The story is not smooth but also not confusing, difficult to watch.

-Some scenes may seem gimmicky to many people but I think it's fine

-The characters are real but imagined, something we can see in many biopics.

  • The movie could be better but nonetheless it's a good movie compared to many vietnamese movies I've seen.

Run All Night (2015)
Better than the movie "taken"
14 May 2022
There are many people who will disagree with my opinion but this movie is really fascinating.

It becomes more and more ordinary as time goes on but see how great it goes in the opening.

A thrilling chase with a story good enough for an action movie.

It deserves a higher rating so i'll give it 8.

Great visuals and sophisticated world building but it takes more than that to be a classic.
12 May 2022
The story is not so ordinary but could be bigger than that.

Its message is good but not expressed too clearly.

The indistinct stones make the movie just an ordinary entertaining movie.

Everything else is interesting. An interesting movie.

Thesis (1996)
The plot is good but the movie is pretty empty.
12 May 2022
-I don't remember much after watching the movie even though it was interesting.

  • The film was released in the same year as the movie "Scream". But I prefer "screaming". At least in the entertainment factor and satisfy the senses when finished watching. But actually this movie has many similarities with "The Scream". Sometimes there's more to it than that, but the movie just doesn't show it enough.


-I like the scene where the guy tells the story in the tunnel. It's classic to me. The only scene that I remember from the movie.

-The ending scene is quite disappointing because it happened so quickly but it is an interesting movie to experience.

7,6/10.

The movie was ahead of its time but not perfect
12 May 2022
Art scene, different from any action movie.

Use neon green tones like Japanese anime. This way is used quite a lot later in action movies and is not shown too bold and saturated.

The plot is well built but it's only good in the 90's. The story has been overused so it's boring, unfortunately didn't watch it sooner.

Lacking a bit of boom, the movie just stopped at a decent level.

Nothing to complain about, but it's not a great movie.

7.5 / 10.

Top Gun (1986)
The movie is ahead of its time in terms of effects, sound but not all of them are great.
8 May 2022
It's not a genre I like, but I've heard about it a lot so I decided to check it out. And when I stepped into the movie, I felt like I was in a real, real place. Overall, what I found was great cinematography and effects, great sound, and great music. But the story of the movie I couldn't connect with it, really I had to try to be able to watch the whole movie. In particular, the part that I don't like the most in the movie is the flight scene and the communication between the pilots, not understanding what is going on, the hasty cutscenes, the lines keep on passing and the story ends.

The plot is simple, okay but not as great as people say
7 May 2022
It was a surprise when this script was nominated for an oscar. There are many better but forgotten scenarios. The script isn't bad, but it's not enough for that.

I love David Cronenberg , he is a good director at creating atmosphere and his ideas are very strange but interesting with good effects . But his film still lacks something to be a masterpiece. And so is this movie. It only reaches 7.5 / 10.

Copycat (1995)
Good idea but the movie will make you doze
6 May 2022
The movie didn't appeal to me. There are a lot of good scenes that make a good connection, but there are also a lot of long but not interesting scenes. To watch the whole movie is really not easy.

The killer appeared quite early. I don't understand the script's purpose of revealing his true identity because it takes away the suspense and surprise.

6,4/10.

Videodrome (1983)
The idea and effects are good but the movie is ok
5 May 2022
It's okay to say the movie is good, but it doesn't give the feeling after watching. Everything can just come out and nothing stays. Maybe I've seen a few similar movies and lost the excitement.

The tempo is quite slow even though the movie is short. Gives a feeling of being quite tired because of some scenes.

I regret not seeing this movie sooner. In terms of production year, this was a special movie but now it has become an ordinary movie like other weird horror movies.

Anyway it's still fun to experience.

Sam Raimi's best horror movie despite not being recognized
4 May 2022
It is a horror movie, but I feel it has a bit of humor and mocks haunted horror movies.

Scary scare scenes appear with high frequency but full of humor.

If you compare this movie with regular horror movies, it's on another level.

Audiences didn't seem to like the film, but critics seemed to like it. I rarely sided with critics, but this time was different.

The best horror movie I've ever seen.

Many things to criticize but it's still too good
27 April 2022
The film takes a lot of time to build the main character, but it is told in a vague way and does not show the unique features of the killer.

The student character cast is not deep, perhaps because of the lack of time, if it was made into a series, it would probably be better.

The end of the movie is really crazy, even though it's weird and some of the student character scenes are a bit goofy, but this is a murder movie lol.

But if you consider it as a regular murder movie, it still deserves a high rating.

Joker (I) (2019)
the movie is not as good as people say
26 April 2022
In terms of art, the film is not perfect in terms of art.

As for the acting, it's good. But when it comes to dialogue, it's not perfect. The best part before the end Murray Franklin still hasn't really satisfied me. If the comment is more serious, that part is pretty bad.

Anyway it's ok but not as good as people say.

Road Trip (2000)
What is this movie about?
26 April 2022
Love others when you and they are apart. Why didn't he tell her on the phone? The girl still loves the boy, but he chooses to love another girl to experience student life. And it's even more confusing when he doesn't break up with her.

What is the purpose of this journey?

Where is it funny?

Sorry for asking too much but what is the movie really trying to convey.

The movie isn't all that bad, but it's absolutely obnoxious.

1/10 but I will give the movie 5/10 because I have never given it a lower score.

7 -1 = 6
24 April 2022
The movie is quite good but it builds the female character as an inanimate object and many scenes are too sensitive.

Other than that, there are a lot of quality scenes and some that aren't really great but overall it's a weird movie to experience.

Interesting but didn't really like the ending
23 April 2022
Pretty interesting idea.

A little bit of humor and a lot of weirdness.

The ending makes the movie go by and over instead of leaving a message.

6,5.

Extreme Job (2019)
quite disappointing
23 April 2022
I think it's appreciated because of the crowd effect.

Not really funny because it uses the actor's face for humor rather than clever use of humor

Old content, the movie is nothing special.

A bit rambling and unattractive.

I haven't watched the whole movie yet.

I don't remember much about the plot but I'll still give it a stars
21 April 2022
  • It's a funny movie but what I don't like about it is the way the characters are built to do hateful things and take it for granted.


-The end of the movie is not satisfying, causing an unpleasant feeling.

  • Pearl Harbor , The English Patient , Reality Bites , ,Serendipity ,... gave me the same feeling. All of them are pretty good but i kinda hate it so i give them 6 stars.

The worst slasher movie I've ever seen
18 April 2022
-I liked the movie "scream" so when I heard the news about this movie made me excited and hopeful. It's accompanied by positive scores and I think it's probably fun to count now with a good slasher movie but "no."

-The opening isn't bad but on average, it's a bit strange not to follow the narrative style even though the opening is like they're going to tell a story, but the exploitative film isn't so good in the first paragraph.

-It's an entertaining movie anyway so I didn't expect much, but it continued to disappoint me. The film is lowly entertaining, the average story, the normal killing scene .

-I think the way for a slasher, horror, thriller movie to have a high score is to build a smart, cool character and know how to plan to beat the bad guys. It's a good idea but it makes the bad guys no longer scary, lose the drama. But after all, the most important thing about a movie of this kind is entertainment and it has very little , the story is not good.

-I'm going to look at the latter two, but I don't think so. Choosing an old movie is always a better choice.

Secret Window (2004)
not too bad but i don't like it
16 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The film has a good atmosphere but it is quite slow and not much changes until the end. The ending of the movie is quite old , which may surprise some people , but to me it is quite boring when the movie focuses all of this on the ending . I haven't read the book yet so I consider it the way a normal person would see a movie that has nothing to do with a book adaptation. But quite disappointing because the movie has atmosphere , good cinematography but the story is not interesting and the villain wins . I think the ending carries a negative message , although when I watch the movie I don't care much about it .

5.5/10.

Elite Squad (2007)
a good movie but not recommended to watch
16 April 2022
  • The film depicts people, killing people so naked and so dark that it's hard to believe. If you understand the country then you can and treat it as a bit of knowledge, not practice.


-A world full of pain but still nothing for these people. They have to live in a toxic environment and can die at any time. Those who must fight for justice are ultimately cruel and inhumane, but in the end, it is also because of the very system that the state has built. Stepping up, there is no way back, injustice is just injustice.

Bad Boys II (2003)
Not good but not really bad
13 April 2022
-The movie is long, but the pacing is too fast, the scenes are messy and not connected, and the characters are wasted.

-I don't know what its strong point is because the movie is really messy and wasteful but not a hateful movie.

-This trio is not too good but not too bad just overrated

5.8 + 0.2 (for nothing)
