Space Battleship Yamato (2010)
Exccellent story but sloooooooow
The story and visual effects of this movie are just awesome.
For sure Japan knows how to make kick-ass films.
But the movie is TOO GOD DAMN SLOW !!!!!
I mean, the actors speak slooooowly, they stand still all of the time, they make minute breaks inside a speech...
Even the frame rate is slow !!!!! (This, I didn't understand, I was at 24 fps...)
Also, they are many clichés... If you have enough cinematographic culture, you will spot them easily...
But it's still an excellent sci-fi movie.
With hope, moral, and most of all... Sacrifices and honor. It's in their blood.
The Bourne Legacy (2012)
Didn't understand anything
Sure, that's a well-based action movie : explosions, car chases, international spying, conspiracy, witnesses murder...
It has anything to be a great action movie, except one thing :
A GOD DAMN STORY.
Even after the movie, I has still many questions :
Who is Jason Bourne ? What link does he have with Aaron and the others numbers ? What is the point of the blue and green pills ? Why did they kill everyone in the program if they were great secret agents ? Why did Aaron hid his pills ? Who is the guy he met at the log house ?
I'm disappointed.
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Excellent western tale
This movie is Excellent, very affecting.
And it's affectiveness that makes a great tale.
Even if I did not understand all the story, it was beautiful.
It has nothing to envy to a "classic" western story like Once Upon A Time In The West and others.
This movie mixes a touching story, with an awesome cast (Gore Verbinski, Jerry Bruckheimer, Hans Zimmer and Johnny Depp), in an affective movie punctuated by a bit of humor. And does it great.
It won't be the movie of the century, but it's definitely worth to watch and cry on.
White House Down (2013)
Excellent action movie
I watched Olympus Has Fallen before this one, and I was afraid that it will be a poor remake.
It's not. It has many similarities with Olympus Has Fallen, but it's absolutely not the same story or development.
It's a kick-ass action movie ! Wooo-hooh !
But it missed something from Olympus Has Fallen : feelings.
That's sad, but Whit House Down won't give me great memories (only of a great action movie), as Olympus Has Fallen did.
But if you liked Olympus Has Fallen, you will love this one, and vice versa.
World War Z (2013)
A masterpiece
This movie is just awesome.
I heard people saying that the movie wasn't this good and was saved by Brad Pitt.
They were wrong.
I was under a warm blanket and trust me, I was cold trembling by fear the entire movie.
It's not "a zombie movie" or even "the ultimate zombie movie".
It's a thriller, based on a new concept of zombies, more aggressive, more human, and more intelligent.
Too bad we never know where dis the virus come from.
I felt bad for Jerusalem... This is sad, they were so well prepared...
Che sau (2012)
Good movie.
Nothing relevant, but it's still a pretty good movie.
I expected it to be like Fast and Furious, but that's not exactly that.
It's not about winning a race or being the fastest.
It's about catching road criminals and mastering a special driving technique.
About a car each minute gets blasted and 1000 liters of gasoline are burnt...
They sure did not have ecology in mind.
But anyway, if you like police stories, Hong Kong and fast cars...You will enjoy it.
Jobs (2013)
Where's the genius ?
I always loves Steve Jobs. What he did, what he believed, how he changed the world.
Though I didn't recognize him in this movie.
I'm not saying Ashton Kutcher is not playing his role well, but I think it's a role nobody can play.
I did not feel Steve's Genius in this movie. I only saw a guy making computers and spitting on IBM.
All we know of Job's life is what financial and social crisis he went through.
Apple's philosophy is not in this movie.
And it's sad, because a really well-made movie about Job's life and ideas could have been really epic.
R.I.P. Steven.
Iron Sky (2012)
Beautiful but cliché
This movie is beautiful for the eyes.
If you loved Armaggedon, if you like heavy war movies...
If you like unhappy endings where everything get screwed up...
And most of all if you don't mind some STEAMPUNK ! You will love this epic movie.
This is just a joke from the beginning until the end.
Yet a wonderfully made joke.
It's hearth- and breath-taking.
Honestly, it's a perfect movie based on fun but taken very seriously in the extreme.
Twister (1996)
A good old film.
If you like adventure, if you like the 90's, disasters and hippies...
Look no further.
This movie, despite it's old, is very well made.
The special effects are correct, and even a bit too much (a tornado doesn't make THAT sound, seriously...).
It's just a bit sad that the story is quick : it could have taken 3 movies with the same storyline.
But it's a good movie though.
Not a great one.
But still a good one.
Schindler's List (1993)
Breath-taking
A masterpiece.
I don't give 10 because I'm not sure I understood all the story...
But I'm sure that this movie deserves it.
Despite the fact that it's in black & white (which is a bit harder to locate the scene), it is a great movie.
Not the best movie ever, but it's a really beautiful story.
Written very dramatically.
It has all the ingredients to figure in the Top 10 better movies of all mankind.
Liam Neesson is a great actor and Spielberg... Well, it's the best.
Battleship (2012)
Simply a masterpiece
This movie is epic.
Just as epic as Battle Los Angeles.
Big machines, big explosions, alien technology invasion...
I didn't get the link with Hasbro though, lol.
And most of all (if the more important thing for a movie to me), a great storyline.
I felt my heart speed up, I felt the suspense, the thrill, the action.
It was just a wonderful time.
Note : if you don't like Rihanna (I don't), it's no big deal. She doesn't sing. ^^
Jumper (2008)
Masterpiece
This movie is epic.
It's a great story between people with superpowers and people trying to annihilate them.
Far away from the classic like Superman, Spiderman, Batman or even Iron Man, this movie talks about another power : teleportation and how to fully use it.
What would you do with this kind of power ?
Yeah, I'm sure we would all do what he did.
We would overuse it.
Great movie to watch with everyone in the family.
Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Awesome American movie
If you like Hollywood's films, if you like to save the US president at all costs, and if you like action with big guns and great tactics, then you'll love this movie.
Too bad Morgan Freeman doesn't have a bigger role.
But the actors just play perfectly their roles.
Morgan Freeman included.
This movie is just the most American action film ever.
It's a pure action movie, without political or financial conspiracy.
It also give strong emotions.
A must-watch for everyone who like action movies.
Forces spéciales (2011)
Great french movie
If you like war stories, if you like survival, if you like army movies...
Look no further.
This wonderful movie is about a group of 6 special forces, lost somewhere in the Middle East, without communications or vehicles.
They have to walk through the mountains to reach Afghanistan and their base.
The whole movie is not based on the travel, but it takes a big place.
This is an action and emotional film.
There are some good real action scenes and a lot of feelings during the long and hard travel.
Gran Torino (2008)
Old Eastwood is not dead yet !
This movie is a very good one.
Not as good as could be Terminator, 300 or even Die Hard, but Clint Eastwood sure still knows how to make an awesome movie.
This is a drama movie, there is no action scenes, just an old tough guy who rules them all.
One negative point though : the film is based on Eastwood's car, but we don't see it very long.
I would like to saw it driving it, and giving it to his new friend before his death.
Anyway, it's a great movie !
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Best. Movie. Ever.
This movie is just the best movie I ever watched (and I watched many).
It is not intended to everyone, because everyone will not understand all the storyline.
But intelligent people with lot of sens humor will have a GREAT time.
Did you know it ?
Xavier Niel, french network businessman, founder of Free, created a free IT school, where everyone is welcome, and he named it "42".
This guy's awesome.
But this movie is more awesome.
Movie of the century. That's it.
Home (2009)
A masterpiece
Yann-Arthur Bertrand is known in France for being the best Earth photograph involved in ecology ever.
This movie is just beau-ti-ful.
You never saw the world that way.
You never knew there were so much diversity all around the Earth, so much things to see, so much beautiful creations.
And you never knew there were so much left.
A must-watch.
Wonderful scenes, really beautiful pictures of Earth.
Tip : there is a long-version.
C'era una volta il West (1968)
Great movie. But not what I expected.
I was told this movie would be a masterpiece, the best movie ever created.
Well...
I was so lost in the story I couldn't really enjoy it.
I did not understand the harmonica guy was the brother of the guy killed in the beginning, and that he came to revenge.
People told me later.
It's a great movie, for sure, if you like Westerns.
But the storyline was too hard for me to follow.
Anyway, I can totally understand people calling it a masterpiece.
It sure could be.
Fire with Fire (2012)
Very good film
If you like Josh Duhamel, if you like witness protection program, if you like action and manhunt through the US...
Then this movie is made for you.
Don't come for Bruce Willis, he has a secondary role, we don't see him that much.
This movie storyline is a bit like "Eraser" with Arnold Schwarzenneger.
But the action is 30 years later.
And this time with Josh Duhamel, who plays his role great.
This is a great action movie.
Watch it with your friends.
African Cats (2010)
Great narrated documentary
This movie is very enjoyable to watch.
It narrated the story of two lion clans in Africa and how each one evolve and grow.
It's purely wonderful.
Well, sometimes it's hard to recognize who is who, but you won't get lost in the story.
A beautiful story of leadership, mother love and travel.
Watch it with the whole family.
It is very well narrated and written.
If you like lions, you will love this movie.
This movie contains some other animals too like elephant, hyenas and birds.
But the main story is the story of the two lion families.
The Colour of Magic (2008)
3 hours of pure magic.
This movie has the best story of all times.
If you like adventure, magic, fantastic beasts, look no further.
If you liked the Lord of the Ring, Therabitia or even Harry Potter, this film is made for you.
Lot of magic, lot of suspense, lot of adventure, and some humor too.
This is a GREAT movie.
Watch it with the whole family (yes, including grandma and children).
They will all love it.
It's a wonderful tale.
Magic, dragons, wizards...
Mai wei (2011)
A beautiful friendship story
CAUTION : this movie contain extreme gore, violence and blood.
There are like 4000 dead during the movie.
This movie essentially shows the cruelty of war, from the Japanese, Korean and Russian view.
This is a beautiful story where two soldiers of different nationalities meet during war.
This is a dramatic movie : the action scenes are not to enjoy, but to cry to.
It's a great journey of two friends who meet each other at several moments of the war, fighting for different countries each time.
Eva (2011)
Beautiful story
Eva is an amazing story about Artificial Intelligence and technology.
The future it takes place in is not so far away, as we already made huge progress in artificial intelligence.
It's a wonderful story of a little girl who assist a guy who design intelligent robots.
The landscape is beautiful, the storyline is perfect, and the suspense is kept until the end.
And at the end, you know that...
Well, watch the film for a huge surprise ! :)
This movie can be watch by anybody in the family, to daughter to grandma.
It's a good idea of where the technology will take us, without being dramatic as Terminator.
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Movie of the century
This movie is just a must-have.
I did not read the book.
I knew nothing of the Da Vinci's mystery before watching this movie.
But I really loved this movie.
If you like conspiracies, Vatican's hidden secrets from Middle-Age, religious cast who control the world and mystery, you'll love this movie.
If not, you'll love it too.
This movie describes so much thing that the human brain is not -I think- capable of holding all of it.
That's why this movie was done.
To zip all it and describe it within a story.
New York'ta Bes Minare (2010)
Excellent.
If you want a movie with only firefights, explosions, building crashes and war, this is not the right movie.
I concede it was what I thought by seeing the poster.
But this is not that.
This movie isn't an action movie at all.
There IS some firefights and explosion, but very few.
This movie is a dramatical story, of a terrorist leader chased all over NYC and Turkey.
It's a very beautiful story with lot of suspense and thrill.
But then again, definitely not a total action movie.
