Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, for today we are going to take a stroll, in a galaxy far far away with our favorite rascal pilot and smuggler, Han Solo. Not the one who was stabbed by his son in Force Awakens but the younger version of him.

With every of these origin stories of beloved and popular characters, you know what to expect and this one, I can say, it doesn't offer a new take on this type of a story. We find out how he got his name, Solo and how he got his blaster but in the most common and uneventful way. If I can say, in the most ridiculous way possible which I did not like. The movie it's not as bad you think, it has some good things that might redeem itself. It has some good action scenes, some very nice humor between Han and Chewie, in particular. It has a fast pace, it doesn't linger to much on a particular set piece, which are great by the way and the visuals are stunning, like in every Star Wars movie. 

I had some problems with the approach that they've decided to take. If I were to describe it, I can say that this movie is kinda of a space western, which is not a bad approach but they went a bit overboard with the western part and not enough space opera. It kinda reminded me a bit of the style of the other anthology movie, Rogue One.

Acting wise, it was fine, no problems there. I actually enjoyed the performance of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, it had a bit of the Harrison Ford charisma and charm. Emilia Clarke was alright and the portrayal of Lando by Donald Glover was excellent, right on point. Woody Harrelson is great and everything he does but I did not see the point of the new droid, other than, it's a Star Wars movie so we got have a new droid. 

Overall, although it has some flaws, mainly in the story, it's still a lot of fun and it can satisfy both newcomers to the franchise as the old ones as well. Very nice to see the Millenium Falcon again, with a different and much cleaner design. 7.1/10

OK guys, that is the review for today. Next up, it's time for an upgrade to another popular genre with the movie Upgrade. 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
