Tomb Raider (2018) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this one has been a long time coming because I have seen the movie when it came out, in March but I did not have time to do a review but I do have time and I make money out of this so, let's just dive in.

To say that I enjoyed the two Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider movies is a overstatement because I haven't. Yes, you can have fun with them but they aren't good movie, especially the second one. And the track for a good, well, at least average movie based on a game is not spectacular since the first Mortal Kombat came. This one did not deviate from that track but is not the worst. I can tell you that is better than the other two but, unfortunately, it has a very low quality origin story. And not very inspired, I might add. The good parts are the approach, which is more grounded in reality and Alicia Vikander, which holds up her part of the deal with style and commitment. What can I say about the villain? I love Walton Goggins, he's a very good actor but, it appears, he is stuck playing these characters that have malevolent thoughts and, this time around, his character is just very by the book, do what my boss tells me to do type of guy.

Another good part of the movie are the special effects and action sequences that are done very well, with a full amount of an impact that you can be satisfied, even though the rest of the movie is not as good. 

Overall, for a new franchise to be rebooted, you need more than some special effects and a committed lead actress/actor. So, I would not hold my breath for a sequel. 6.5/10

OK guys, that is the review for today. Next up, another March film but it's a surprise! Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

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
