Mortal Engines (2018) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%! So, from today I will only be concentrating on doing reviews for the movies that I am seeing in the theater, with some few exceptions and that is because I am developing a new site for reviews and, hopefully, will be online at the beginning of 2019. For the remaining of the 2018 I will be doing the reviews on this site. 

Now, that I have got that out of the way, let's proceed with the review of this new fantasy adventure movie from the famous Peter Jackson. Let me start by saying that I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I enjoyed The Hobbit trilogy and, as far as this movie is concerned, I liked it and I enjoyed it. I did not love it because the main story and other plot points of the movie feel to familiar with movies like The Terminator, Mad Max, The Mortal Instruments and, especially, Star Wars. The similarities that this movie and the others that I have mentioned share are so obvious that is infuriating and, in some points, become down right annoying. Especially in the third act of the movie, in the climactic battle at the end, you can see the very very very obvious similarities with A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. 

Because if this extremely lack of originality, the movie becomes so predictable that it does not offer you any surprises. Even the relation between the two leads is extremely predictable and cliched. 

On a more lighter note, the movie compensates with extremely gorgeous landscapes and imagery, excellent and superb special effects with a fast paced rythm, which slows down when a piece of a character's backstory is explained, which is also a good thing because, that way, it creates a bond between you and the character, you understand and can relate with his or, in this case, her motives. Excellent action set pieces and a bloody wicked soundtrack.

Overall, except for the lesser original story and a shamble of a narrative, the movie is quite an eye popping adventure action fantasy and it's worth the price of admission. 6.8/10

OK guys, that is the review for today. Next up, I hope I can do the review for the new adventure, or the same adventure of Mowgli but told in a different way. 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
