Desechos (2010)
Very bad movie
This is a bad movie, no excuses. The production, poor. The plot, goes far beyond suspension of disbelief and doesn't balance that with humor (although it tries to do so, and fails miserably). The acting, just plain bad. The dialogues, forced and unbelievable.
The movie has a couple of funny gags, and that's about it. Only two actors do well their job here: Fernando Tejero (7 on a scale of 10) and Guillermo Toledo (8 on a scale of 10).
It could have been better, but it seems that very little effort went into the making of this film, which together with a bad script result in utter failure.
Avoid at all costs.
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
Characters not developed, script is poor.
Sadly, the characters are quite nicely presented, but then they are not developed any further. There are many unbelievable things (a lord digging in his land for water...!) which are so naif it makes you disbelief the author knows what he is talking about.
Also, or the copy I watched was bad, or the color of the film is really dull, which is not proper for those exotic lands of the Middle East.
Bloom does a nice job, but the script does not allow him to show much art or feeling, which is sad.
The best: the character of Saladin: rich personality and hypnotic figure. Also the character of Jermy Irons is well done by him. These two are a real pleasure to watch.
