Captain America: Brave New World (2025) - Rated 18 Jun 2025
"Cap 4 is the first AI-generated McU film. Or it feels that way. Someone asked a LLM to mix characters from Incredible Hulk and Falcon tv-show with elements of Iron Man 2 and Cap America: Civil War. There's a robot-suited hero, a hulk, a black widow, a baddie in an old army base and brain-washing. The LLM connected them in a convoluted way and added action and dialogue you've seen done better a million times before. I saw this a few hours ago and i'm already struggling to remember it. Atrocious."
The Road (2009) - Rated 18 Jun 2025
"I've wanted to watch this for a long time and it was very disappointing. The Road is an empty movie. It never even tries to explain how things went wrong. The pair's journey seems aimless and pointless. Some things are completely nonsensical, like leaving the bunker or a half-blind grandpa surviving. The entire thing is made completely lifeless by the lazy grey filter. It's a slog and i didn't care for The Man at all, which makes it hard to be invested in what little actually happens."
The Falling (2014) - Rated 29 May 2025
"This is one of the few films i had to rewatch to form an opinion. It's weird and artsy and interesting. And also a bit too pretentious and meandering. I appreciate what they were going for, but it doesn't all work for me. Honestly the best thing about it was discovering Florence Pugh's singing voice."
Yojimbo (1961) - Rated 29 May 2025
"Yet another wildly overrated "classic". The Bodyguard's main weakness is its tone. Much of the film is so goofy and unbelievable that it feels like The A-Team or a cartoon. Then suddenly a people get killed, brutally in a few cases. It's amusing to see the protagonist play with the warring parties but i could never take anything seriously. The final fight is especially dumb. The movie is too slow as well."
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) - Rated 08 May 2025
"Fun anecdote: When i was a kid i was afraid of vampires because of the ending of this film. Rewatching it now, i'm surprised i managed to keep my open for that long. Dance of the Vampires (as it's called here) is dreadful. A comedy without humour, a horror film devoid of shock and overall a film without a coherent plot. Very little of this meandering mess is worth watching."
Joker (2019) - Rated 24 Apr 2025
"Throw Taxi Driver, V for Vendetta, Fight Club and King of Comedy into a blender. Add one spoonful of Batman for brand recognition. Voilà, it's Joker. Mostly it just fails to hit the mark. Even Phoenix' good performance can't make up for it all feeling artificial. Every bad thing in the world happens to him. And also he has a personal connection to Wayne and basically creates Batman. It's hard to feel sorry for Fleck and even harder to take this film seriously."
Mandy (2018) - Rated 24 Apr 2025
"I really expected to like Mandy but it's awful. The first 45 minutes or so are okay, and some of the stylistic elements later on are nice as well. But when the cult leader started talking it all collapsed. Just another shallow revenge story in which the girl gets brutally murdered on screen. The film actually gets slower after that. Worst of all, we barely get to enjoy the revenge killings. I was hoping for some brutal stuff but half of it doesn't even happen on screen. Boring trash."
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 10 Apr 2025
"This is one of the very few movies that i regret not watching in the theatre. It's so epic and cinematic. Other than that, very similar to Fury Road. Weird characters, brutal violence, lots and lots of sand. Furiosa is just a really good movie. The only real flaw is its length combined with its intensity. We took a break 90 minutes in, that helped keep the rest fresh."
Star Trek: Section 31 (2025) - Rated 27 Mar 2025
"Section 31 is the most embarassing film i have ever seen. The acting is so stiff it feels like a school play. None of the characters are remotely likeable. The story is beyond convoluted. The writing is so atrocious it's honestly shocking. It goes beyond the absolute worst writing in DIS or PIC. Cringeworthy and heavy on exposition. I've seen clips from fan films and porn parodies. Both the acting and writing are better in those. This is the new worst Trek film, beating even Generations. Wow."
The New Mutants (2020) - Rated 27 Mar 2025
"Obviously, it was a mistake to pretend this was an X-Men movie. There are only some mentions of characters, similar to "American Psycho 2". The film itself is actually decent, much more horror than i expected. If it wasn't for the somewhat clunky superhero fight at the end this would've been a solid recommendation (i.e. a 7/10). Still worth a watch if you want to see a different kind of superhero story."
