Man of Steel (2013) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Plus, HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CHILD'S DAY! On this special occasion, I prepared a treat of a review, with the first movie from the extended DC universe. First of all, I am a huge fan of Christopher Reeve's "Superman". And the second. Even a little bit of the third. I hated the 4th one and "Superman Returns" was kinda of a letdown. With this one, I can say that I have feelings about it. The movie is not bad, we get the origin story of Superman slightly changed. The main story is still there but with some differences. Being a Zack Snyder film, we all know that he's more of a more action and visuals less story director. And we all know that his movies look incredible. There is no denying that this movie has an excellent visual style and impressive action sequences, although the fight at the end of the movie is extremely similar with the fight at the end of "Matrix Revolutions". And that's not a good comparison. The movie lacks what made the first "Superman" a hit. It lacks the humor, the colors and all of the joy is gone. What we get instead is a dark, gritty and kinda of a depressing superhero flick. Yes, the effects are 100 times cooler but the whole feeling of funny and corny humor is gone. Plus, the original theme song is nowhere to be found. In all fairness, the score in this movie is pretty good but when you hear that John Williams theme, you will believe a man could fly. Performances are OK, Henry Cavill is kinda wooden and stiff in his performances but the dude is buffed. I gotta know his training program, so I can become that. I was very excited to hear of a new Superman movie but, when I left the theater in 2013, I was a bit disappointed. However, I liked that, at the beginning, we get to see, up close, how Krypton was destroyed and it was good to receive some new information about that part of the story. Overall, the movie looks great, it feels good but, in the end, it's just a generic summer blockbuster. 7.2/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Tomorrow, we continue with DC, reviewing "Batman v Superman" and ending with "Wonder Woman". Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances ...

Escape Room (2019) Movie Review

Escape Room (2019) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies! So, just to be clear, this is not the ''A Star Is Born'' review as I promised and it is unlikely that I will still make that review. Instead of that, I have a review about a movie with an escape room, which, I guess, is more entertaining than a dramatic musical. Don't get me wrong, ''A Star Is Born'' is a very good movie, very emotional, dramatic and gripping, with some very good performances and beautiful songs. But we are here to talk about ''Escape Room''. Ever thought what would come out if you mix the style of the ''Saw'' franchise with the plot of an escape room? Well, we have the end result with this movie. The plot is as simple as it gets: six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Which is what you have ...

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Movie Review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this is what I am talking about, if you want to make a great action movie but still keep the style and panache of the original. J.J. Abrams did it. He combined, successfully I might add, the stunts and special effects with the style that made the first MI so good. It does suffer in some departments, especially the script and character development but that is just nitpicking at this point. The visual effects are awesome, the action is great and fast paced giving you the right amount of time to breathe before it chuckles you again into the action. The acting is top notch with a very good villainy performance from P.S. Hoffman. There are some twists but, sadly, are predictable and a bit similar to the one from the first movie.  However, looking past the little flaws, there is no denying that this movie was a step up, a huge step up from the previous one, setting the bar for wha...
