Creed 2 (2018) Review


So, the third and final review is for the eight movie in the Rocky franchise and the second one in the Creed franchise. I loved the first movie which was a similar story with the first Rocky just like J.J Abrams did with Force Awakens. This one is Rocky IV all over again but it's still packs a punch.

Staying true to the formula, the movie offers little in terms of surprises but the way it was shot, the fight choreography and the emotional punch make this movie on kinda the same level as the first one. Although we have seen this movie before, the heart of the story and the stakes that are considerably higher than in the last one, Creed 2 feels more than a Rocky sequel. It has some nostalgia of course, so many scenes that are mirroring scenes from Rocky IV but, despite all that, the familiarity and used up formula, the movie works. Stallone and B.Jordan are, again, the perfect combo for this movies, Tessa Thompson being a great addition. Lundgren's Drago is as he were in the previous movie, practically no changes made to the character. His son, which was played by a romanian, Florian Munteanu does not have the acting chops but he compensates with his big stature and powerful look. The movie has some humor, which I hoped it will, considering all the drama that unfolds and some of that humor comes from the Drago's, the actors, trying to speak a language that they clearly don't know that well. 

The fights are incredible, you feel every punch and every fall and, because of that, you are in with the hero all the way till the end. 

Overall, it does not surpass it's predecesor but it was very near. A well crafted movie and a very good sequel. 8.2/10

OK guys, those are my reviews for today. I hope I will do some more in the following days. 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
