Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017) Review


Hello guys and welcome back, after a very long brake, to Movie Talks with Tudor! Yes, it's been a while since a posted anything here but with all the things are happening right now, with my job and all of this Christmas madness, I didn't have the time to post this review, until now. So, you all know the debate that is surrounding this movie, that it's not a good Star Wars movie and it doesn't live up to the other movies in the series, particularly the original one, that it took some risks and they didn't panned out, that it's to long and some scenes could have been taken out of the movie. And I can agree with all those things but I really enjoyed this movie. It does have it's issues, which I pointed then out but you can get over those issues and appreciate the way that Rian Johnson chose to tell this story. I can also say that, although I enjoyed the movie, I wasn't very impressed by it and there are some things that bothered me a bit. The humor, on the one hand, is a bit exaggerated and feels very inappropriate for a Star Wars movie, a movie, that from the trailers, looked dark and grim. A little humor works, when it's done right but in this one feels overly cartoonish and out of place. Although Mark Hamill does an excellent performance, maybe his best in this role, Luke Skywalker feels weak and not the Jedi we were used to. The movie offers three stories, Rey's, Poe's, which is my favorite and then, there is Finn and Rose's story that feels, like the humor, out of place, unnecessary and filled with some bad CGI. They took some risks, some very surprising twists that, surprisingly, worked, for the most part. What I can say is that the action in this movie, the space battles and other action sequences are the best of all of this series. The space battle from the beginning was an awesome way to introduce us into this story. Excellently done and masterfully edited. Plus superb special effects, some very good music and some nice cinematography. Even though there are some issues with the story and how they handle it and even though we have more questions than answers plus the risks they took may not be for everyone and, although it does not have that Star Wars feel to it I can safely say that, for me, as a Star Wars fan, the movie satisfied me enough to enjoy it and have fun with it. It's a great movie but not a great Star Wars movie, just a good Star Wars movie but it deserves it's place amongst the good ones. 8/10

OK guys, that is my review for this one. For now, is going to be a short brake because of the Christmas holiday but I will return after with reviews for "Jumanji", "Jumanji:Welcome to the Jungle" and "The Greatest Showman". Plus some others, I think. Until then, take care, keep on reviewing and Merry Christmas!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

In the Mood for Love(O iubire imposibilă-2000)-Regia:Kar Wai Wong Comentariu:Filmul “In the Mood for Love” regizat de către Kar Wai Wong este un film frumos şi mai ales poetic. Ȋn ceea ce priveşte acţiunea nu este foarte ofertant, dar compensează în domeniul stărilor şi emoţiilor pe care acest film vrea să le suprindă. Filmul prezintă o anumită lentoare şi repetitivitate a scenelor, de la mişcările personajelor la curgerea timpului. Este o dramă neaşteptată, plină de-o emoţie şi-o culoare deosebită, iar puterea filmului vine din tensiunea acumulată pe parcurs stingându-se în scorbura unui copac, unde bărbatul îşi lasă toate amintirile. Cele două personaje nu au măsura timpului iar iubirea lor îi menţine într-o stare atemporală, vraja neputând fi ruptă decât prin prefacere sau negare, aceste lucruri ducând la o despărţire totală. Ȋn concluzie filmul merită văzut dar e nevoie de-o răbdare şi-o sensibilitate enormă pentru a te adapta acelui ritm şi a trece dincolo de coaja lucrur

Remembering Carrie Fisher (1956 - 2016)

Imagine
Carrie Fisher Tribute Man, this year, 2016, continues to deliver us untimely deaths of celebrities and,  tuesday, we find out that Carrie Fisher has passed away. A very sad moment, especially for those who grow up with her and the Star Wars movies. Of course, her most memorable role was Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga but she was also a true activist, humanitarian and writer. This is just the worst and I can't believe she has left this world. It is a shocking news and I still can't believed it. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher, you will be missed.

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
