Road House (2024)
Awesome movie
First of all Jake Is as always really
Good in his roles. He's one of few actors I can watch anything he's in. He really takes on the character.
And he did so in roadhouse. Dude has an amazing physique which can only wish for. But his performance is top notch. Head on key all the time and his co stars are also awesome. Love every single one of them. Friendly enemy biker was hilarious. Sorry I forgot your name. I know you're famous. You're awesome dude.
Really loved this movie. Watch it. It's a good watch honestly. It's not a 6 or lower. It's easily a 7-9. Input nine because I was honestly entertained the whole time. And for me that's high grade. It sure what would lift it to 10 but I guess some leg room is always good.
Man of Steel (2013)
The best Superman movie
This movie has it all. The build up with the family, the loss of his father, the sense of not belonging but yet also belonging and the hardship of being a supe and how to cope with that.
You get a very good feeling of how great the casting is on this movie. I've never enjoyed superman as much as watching this. Honestly for me DC was dead. Sure Nolan's Batman resurrected it a bit but this really made it grow into something special. The fact that the movies after this one that ties together and then start of the ending with justice league is awesome.
Always watch the directors cut of all movies. That's when you really are the majestic work that is being done by the director.
Again. I love Henry Cahill as Superman. He's the only superman for me. I grew up with reeves so that says a lot.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Finally Sci-Fi we can love
This was such a great movie.
As a Sci-Fi fan who of course loves Star Wars and Star Trek and all movies like that I was thrilled when I first heard of rebel moon.
This might finally be a new Epos that is created. I like other movies that Zack Snyder has made so this might deliver. And deliver it did.
This wasn't one of those fast sci-fi without a story. This pure joy of build up and execution. They really picked the right actors and writers and the best CGI team.
Lately big blockbusters have been released with poor cgi. But this was top notch. And sound. That's just something that can take a movie up one level that nothing else can affect. Sound was really good.
All in all this is definitely a movie to watch. And I can't wait for the next part to be released. I really hope this builds to a big sci-fi epos with many movies. I can easily continue watch anything in this universe.
As always just like with sound of freedom there is a lobby against movies ok Netflix. And those who love Gunn will do their best to try to destroy these ratings. I really loved this movie. If you watch it based on my review and dislike it. Send me a dm on twitter matsisthename or a follow if you like it.
Geostorm (2017)
Positive surprise! This is a great movie!
I have to be honest. I didn't have any high hopes for this movie. But I read somewhere that if you like disaster movies you should watch this uncut gem. And gem it was.
Acting: 5/5 All the actors were doing their part perfectly and beyond. I like the cast.
Story: 5/5 I like the idea that humans finally realise that they have to work together to solve complex issues. Kinda like the whole idea behind Star Trek is.
Sound: 100/5 (really awesome, can't complain about anything. I lived it.
CGI: 5/5 this was something I thought would be bad based on the rating. But this surprised me. This was really good.
I can continue. This really was a great movie and had great twists and had you on your feet. Which I love.
I really recommend this movie. This is up there where other great movies are. It's not a disaster like don't look up was. So check this out. Great movie!!
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Beautiful film but lot of plot holes and unexplained things
Overall it's a great movie. If you don't care too much about plot holes you will like it. Pretty close to the last one except the metal is not valuable enough now. Now instead it's a "whale" brain basically.
But the plot holes kinda ruined it for me.
A few
- You get to follow the bad guy and spider hunt sully in the mountains, they catch one of these birds, then all of a sudden we get to see them on one of these birds flying and training the language of the navi. Like they are best friends all of a sudden? Like what? What happened to the mountain people you were hunting?
- Where did all the sea people go in the last fight?
- Where did all the people in the boat disappear to?
- Where is everyone in the life rafts?
- When the mother tulkan was hit with a beacon they instantly attacked it. But when Paykan was hit the sea people got a lot of time to remove it. Like why? And why did the sky people hit that tulkan? They said they would only hit one to draw our jake sully. All of a sudden that was not valid anymore?
- Kiri? So many questions and things that just happens that doesn't make sense. In avatar 1 we learn eywa does not interfere but now she does. Violently or kiri controls eywa? Like what?
This was just a few of the plot holes.
Blackout (2022)
Let me save you some time, don't watch it.
First of all the acting well Josh Duhamel is actually doing his part. But the rest? I mean the guy playing Eddie? I can't place what it is but something about his hair makes it look fake and I can't stop thinking about it.
Nick Nolte is nick nolte but he's so old all his acting except one scene is done while he sits down.
Anyway the story. I watched the whole thing and I still don't understand it all. Hate movies that leave you without explanations atleast when it's a Bourne copy or what not.
It's bad in so many ways.
Mexican cartel who speaks English to other Mexicans. Like what??
People can't hit while in a narrow hallway?
Pallet of whey protein in the closet? Like wtf?!
They use trace lights when firing on the roof? Like what?
The questions just keep piling up. What were the writers thinking?
And josh why would you do this movie? You're such a great actor otherwise.
Becky (2020)
Bad ass home alone flick
This movie surprised me a lot. Lulu, Robert and Kevin were awesome in it.
I was surprised to see Kevin in this role but he executed it perfectly.
The story is good. There are some holes that should have been filled. It concerns the main object of the movie. But even with that missing it's a great movie. It's raw and really well done.
The music is really good. How the movie was shot was also very good. The cutting is superb. It's a 7/10 mainly because I wanted to know more about the main object of the movie. Otherwise it would have been a solid 8 perhaps a 9.
As I said. The story and the cast surprised me a lot. There wasn't much I was missing. It was action from the gecko basically.
See it!
Outside the Wire (2021)
Must see! Great action and sci-fi!
This really is a great movie.
I went into it with zero expectations other than a "robot" being a part of the movie. This movie surprised me a lot. A terminator for 2021 and a good one at that, really good one.
Straight into action and none of that useless build up. The build up or explanation is along the way in a perfectly executed way. Twists and turns along the way and it really made it even better.
As to acting it's top notch! Anthony Mackie is awesome so is Damson Idris! Of course the rest of the cast as well!
Effects, sound and overall visual is also on point. I love the setting of the movie, the scenery and overall feeling throughout the movie.
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Loved it!
Watched this movie without knowing much about it. And I'm so surprised. Both the cast is really good as well as the story and the scenery is on point. This is one of the best movies I've seen this year and I encourage anyone who likes sci-fi to watch it. You'll love it. If you are the kind of person that is open to new ideas (given Alita is partially cgi) you'll love it as well. It's a well balanced movie with a powerful hero.
Watch it!!
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Awesome ending to a fantastic story
I'm so glad jj did the final movie and made sure to tie up all the loose ends that TLJ didn't cover.
This movie is awesome. I can't see anything wrong. On the contrary I see so many openings from the original movie trilogy that they closed. I'm so glad for this.
This is one of the best films I've seen and by far one of the best Star Wars film ever.
Funny Games (2007)
Awful, don't waste your time !
Acting was perfect. But plot was terrible. Such a waste of time. I wish I read some reviews first because this is 1.45h I want back.
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
Best Spider-man ever!
This movie is by far the best Spider-man movie ever, and it is up there among the best marvel movies of all time as well.
It delivers great pace, great story, an understandable story that is connected to reality although it is a superhero movie with a lot of visual effects. And I should also say that the effects are really good.
I have always loved the Spider-man movies, although not so much when it was andrew garner, he's a great actor but he doesn't bring the same amount of emotions and acting as Tom Holland does. Tom Holland is as much Spider-man as hemsworth is Thor and RDJ is Iron Man. They are irreplaceable. Those are now the characters, and never should they be removed.
The movies story is really good, it has depth, and emotions, and directly connects with the last marvel movie (endgame). You don't want to miss this.
Also it has great humour. Thor Ragnarok had this great balance and Spider-man far from home is no exception.
You must see this movie.
12 Strong (2018)
One of the best war movies
I was a bit unsure if this movie would make it or break it. Mostly because a few reviews were bad. But some pointed to the opposite and I'm glad I watched it.
It's a really good movie. It has all the things you need. Great actors the whole team as well as surroundings. Chris Hemsworth does an amazing job as lead actor and he's perfect for the role. Such diversity he has on all characters he plays in different movies. This one was no exception.
See it. You won't regret it. It tells an untold story about true heroes. Not just the American ones either.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
It's pure AWESOMENESS!
Avengers Endgame really was a movie filled with action, emotions, dept in story and characters and i can't wait to see it again. I won't spoil anything considering Dr. Strange managed to watch endgame 14 million times without spoiling it, but i will say this, you need to watch Infinity war first (if anyone hasn't seen that awesome movie yet, go see it), you need that to understand the backstory. Preferably ALL marvel movies so you get a grasp of each character that might appear.
But the movie itself doesn't feel like 3 hours, it feels like 1,5 hour, and thats because its stuff happening all the time, and it makes turns you wouldn't see coming, which only makes it better.
It's an emotional ride just as well as it's a tribute to Stan Lee and all marvel characters. I watched it the 24 of april, but i could easily watch it again tonight.
On my 'awesomeness' scale this get a solid 10 out of 10.
Captain Marvel (2019)
One of the best marvel movies
To start this off, I will keep spoilers off the review.
This movie really has tempo, big story, great actors and especially Brie Larson and Sam Jackson plays very good. And Brie Larson is awesome in her role.
The movie is perfect in line with the rest of the marvel universe. And it fits perfectly into it.
If anyone thought black panther was a good movie (it was ok. Nothing more. Crappy storyline. Didn't make sense. Don't get me started) the. You will love this since this stays true to the story and it really has some twists you didn't see coming. Some actors that are seated is also perfectly done.
Overall. See this. If any marvel movie you will miss. Then it should definitely NOT be this one. THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!
Mortdecai (2015)
Such a fun movie, totally underrated!
I'm surprised there are so many negative ratings on this movie, it was so fun watching it.
First of all, let me say, gagreflex, haha!
This movie is funny, smart, good actors and characters, great scenery and a good story.
I would say it's one of Johnny depps better movies, Gwyneth, and Paul Bettany are really fun and they fit perfect as a team. Glad to see Ewan McGregor as well, he always performs well even though he is Obi-Wan to me ;)
I would recommend this movie anyday! It's awesome!
Two and a Half Men (2003)
Without Charlie Sheen the show dies!
I give this show a 10. Up until now.
This show without Charlie Sheen is nothing! I will stop watching this show the second another actor takes Charlie Sheens place or when the let Charlies character die.
This guy Chuck Lorre and the people at the production company are not smart, when they let the star go. I mean the guy is finally well, and they reply with stopping to shoot the show. Disgrace! I am in Sweden, right now, Two and a half men is on everyday. And i love every second of it. The Characters are perfect, Charlie, Alan, Jake, Berta, Rose, Herb, Evelyn and Judith. They are so awesome. Funny, witty, i mean Jake is so hilarious, and Alan, i laugh every time he does an "alan" thing. Like with Chelseas friend from College. Such a funny show. I hope the people in charge come to their senses and realize they have to kill the show if it is without Charlie Sheen!
Royal Pains (2009)
Royal Pains is a great show!
I think Royal Pains is a great show. We follow the former ER doctor Hank who is a great guy that is interested in helping people no matter what social status they have. He loses his job while saving a regular kid after saving a rich man. But while he is saving the other kid the rich person that has given the hospital a lot of money dies. And he is wrongly accused. His brother Evan persuades him to go to the Hampton's over the weekend to get his mind off of things. In the Hampton's he becomes a "doctor for hire" after a dramatic save of a young woman. This is were the story takes in, a lot of funny interesting characters. A lot happens and even though Hank is not interested in the life of the rich he is persuaded to stay by his brother. See a few episodes and you are hooked! 8/10
Heroes (2006)
Great Show!!!
This show is awesome. It get's better and better every time. And the last episode ruined some but also gave the best character life again.
Sadly the producers showed to much from the next season.
To take it from the start, this is a show about ordinairy people that discover they have extraordinairy abilities. Hiro can stop time, Nathan can ply, Claire can heal, Sylar can understand things but he also knows how to steal someones power, Parkman kan hear peoples thoughts and tell them things. Peter can absorb everyones powers. The list can go on. But the people above is the main characters.
But overall i give this show 10/10!
