Diabolik - Ginko all'attacco! (2022)
Truly awful
The benchmark for cinematic Diabolik remains the classic 1960s Maria Bava version.
The previous modern Diabolik was pretty bad but this one doesn't even reach that low bar.
The lead actor exemplifies blandness.
A generic Euro pretty boy with no acting chops.
The story is poor.
Did we really need a Ginko romantic sub-plot that goes no where ?
Monica Belluci is totally wasted.
Being filmed in the digital equivalent of the Vaseline smeared lense did her no favors.
The only saving grace was Miriram Leones as Eva Kant.
How did this dreck even get made ?
Let's hope there isn't a third one !
Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend (2022)
Great story knobbled.
The story of Lamborghini is the the stuff of legend. Marque.
A sound script albeit more fantasy than truth.
Good acting from Grillo et al.
But this is no different from your average auto epic, like every film before it, it is let down by details.
The producers were either lazy or ignorant.
Why is Mr Lamborghini driving a US spec Countach at the start ?
Mr Ferrari in a lowly Mondial ?
Why on earth are there so many shots of an old Ferrari motor when real Lambo motors are not rare.
And why were real car sounds not used ?
Instead we have some generic motor revving dubbing in.
This could have been a great motor bio pic instead we get something extremely average.
Casual viewers may be fooled but those who know cars will groan with disappointment.
Nude Tuesday (2022)
Disappointing
Somewhere someone thought this was a great idea but it's an idea that quickly runs of of steam.
This is 30 minutes padded out to three times that length with barely any laughs.
McLaren (2017)
Utterly boring
For fanboys only, even they might find this nothing more than a tedious puff piece.
Far below the excellence of other driver docos like Senna or Fangio.
Let alone semi-fictitious bios like The World's Fastest Indian.
Monsters of Man (2020)
Surprisingly watchable...
... despite a bunch of really dumab and annoying characters that deserved their demise.
It looks and sounds better than your average no-name sci-fi flick.
With tighter editing this could have been a very good 80-90minutes but over 2 hours it is far too long.
The Beatles: Get Back (2021)
A Long and Winding Road
I'm a Beatles fan but in typical Jackson fashion, this will be an epic test of endurance.
Next time Sir P, ease off on the DNR, this is full of over-saturated wax faces.
Skip to the rooftop concert, that's all you need to see.
Schumacher (2021)
Total waste of time
It serves as nothing but to puff up the Schumacher legend.
There's nothing new here.
It barely mentions his accident.
Pointless.
Yip Man 4 (2019)
Another piece of East meets West mediocrity
Silly story, fake characterisations - why did most of the Chinese speak Cantonese while Wan and daughter spoke Mandarin ?
Poor acting and even ho-hum fight scenes.
As another reviewer said, the Ip man saga should have ended with 3.
