Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
did we just watch US commiting a war crime to a foreign country and being fine with it? :)
Movie was great, no doubt but question:
Is not lunching hundreds Tomahawks on a base (killing scientist btw) and destroying planes on a foreign territory constituting a declaration of war? :)
Still a great movie too. Safe writing choice. Perfect action, sound design, Tom is excellent, nice and smart integration of Val Kilmer to the story.
On the minus side: The love story is useless, we don't believe in their relationship.
The weird reluctance of Goose's son against Maverick. Mean, he was a child, there's no reason for such a hate.
Jon Hamm is underused. A bit of writing regarding the rogue nation - from a US standpoint - would have added bit more consistency to the movie. Cause here, it's not more than a plane rodeo, nice one but only that.
No Escape (1994)
RIP Ray!
ReWhatched yesterday after the announce of Ray Liotta's death. :/
Pretty good SF movie, still hold today with great cast.
Sure it is not at $100M movie but it entertains and has good mix of seriousness and humor.
Ironically, Ray passed away in 2022 which is the timeline of Absolom universe and it's also his movie as the main star.
The Bad Guys (2022)
rushed and trying too hard
Loving the animation style but ....that's it.
It's just so rushed. The too hard cool intro spending 10min presenting the gang (actually their names and skill) during a unreadable car chase with cheap funky music is not a pass to avoid to develop characters later on. So they stole a bank for 10dollars while having literally the content of 10 banks at home.
3 min later, after a basic provocation, they moved to another heist, no time out.
15min in and I was exhausted and clearly not interested anymore.
I mean, Dreamworks wants to play big, to play cool but ruins their effect before even "kicking in".
Tomorrowland (2015)
the anti-Netflix
Brilliance and hopes.
I love this movie.
Thank you Brad Bird.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Thanks for the good vibes! 8/10
I put 10/10 to counter-balance all the negativity non-sense but honestly, it's pure fun. Actors are having fun and it is communicative and DAMN we needed it! it's not with Netflix's nihilist catalog that we will mentally survive to 2021.
Besides, I've just finished watching the first one, and you know what, I enjoy Coming 2 America even more. The actors did an excellent job (Wesley Snipes stole the show!), lot of easter-eggs, cameo. It's pure fun and it is communicative, It's like being with old friends.
I just wished we had less 2020 hip-hop noise and more Rhythm N Blues but ok...
Anyway, it should not deny itself that.
Regarding the political aspect, all the naysayers totally and ridiculously missed the point. I am ashamed for you. :)
Just enjoy, for yourself sake!
