Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! So, let's talk about the sequel to the amazing "Secret Service". Mattthew Vaughn managed to reinvent the spy movie genre with the first one. Like I said in my review, although is based on a comic book, the story is grounded in reality. Vaughn created a spy movie that was entertaining and, at the same time, emotional, with a story that might seem familiar but he managed to make it fresh and original, avoiding the genre's cliches. With the second one, Vaughn ups the ante in the action and special effects department but lowers it in originality and creativity. Look, the movie looks awesome and the action scenes are very entertaining but it looks too much like a comic book. The action, although great, is very over the top that it borderlines between awesome and exaggerated. And the special effects are so non-believable that it makes the whole movie look like a mix between...

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) Movie Review- POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Imagine
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor, with a brand new look! Because "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" has been released, which I am going to see tonight, I've decided to revisit the first movie and give you my overall thoughts on it. From the moment this movie began I understood that I'm in for a visual and stylish movie. This movie is like a race car. It starts slow and, gradually, it builds up momentum and, by the end, has reached it's top speed, leaving you amazed and baffled. Although it's based on a comic book and you can see that from the visual style and special effects used, which are awesome, apart from the one at the end, with the heads exploding, I din't quite understood why they went with that effect. Maybe they wanted to give it a little more panache, who knows. So, like I said, although it's based on a comic book, the story is still grounded in reality, with normal problems, no...

The Layover (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
The Layover (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Wow, I just wanna say that I was so surprised with this movie that I did not comprehend that William H. Macy, who is an outstanding actor and he knows comedy, directed this piece of shit. I'm telling you, it's awful. It reminded me of movies such as "Bride Wars" and "This Means War" and that is not a good thing because those movies are awful to. But it has the same plot, mainly with the second movie, stupid, with a lack of originality and comedy. With the jokes being so juvenile and falling flat in every scene is hard to put this movie in the comedy category. Not even a romantic comedy. Look, I very much like Alexandra Daddario but this has not been her year. With this and "Baywatch", it's been rough. But hey, maybe "San Andreas 2" will be good. Unfortunately, not even the two gorgeous leads cannot save this excuse for a movie. I never thought that I...

Baby Driver (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
Baby Driver (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! It's been a while since my last review but I had to do some changes in my apartment but, today, I have the review of a movie that I've waited so long to see and comment. Because I love Edgar Wright and his movies and this one is no different. It starts off with a bang and continues like that, with some occasional pauses that allows you to recapture your breath, until the very end. It has some great action scenes and car chases that makes you think that Wright incorporated some "Fast and Furious" moments in it. One movie that reminded me of was "Driver" with Ryan Gosling from 2011. An excellent movie and this might be a lighter version of that movie but with enough violence and action to keep it entertaining and not slip into some over the top romantic incursion. And you cannot talk about "Baby Driver" and not mention the wonderful and awesome soundtrack that it ha...

Unlocked (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
Unlocked (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! So, the review for today is going to be short because it's about a movie that, despite having a bunch load of movie stars with immense talent and a formula that might be old and unoriginal but, in a weird way, refreshing, the movie undermines all of that with a ridiculous and predictable plot, a lot of genre cliches and less action scenes than you expect from an action thriller. Noomi Rapace is great and she has a wonderful physique plus Orlando Bloom makes for a good side character and all of the other actors handle their respective characters well but I didn't shake the feeling that I have seen something similar before. And it hit me! It's the same producers that did "Salt", amongst other things and I did not like that movie at all. And this one is very similar to that. Plus, it seemed to me that Michael Douglas and Toni Collette were continuing past roles from "Haywire"...

Snatched (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
Snatched (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Today is a shitty day to review a movie. Particularly this horse shit. Despite having two gifted and talented COMEDIC stars and I emphasize the word comedic, this movie is not funny in it's slightest. It has no plot development whatsoever, the humor is weak and very bad, acting wise OK but I felt that Amy Schumer was still playing a version of her character from "Trainwreck" but, hey, that's just me. Most of the story makes no sense, the actions of the characters are, mostly, illogical which makes the movie stupid and confusing. You cannot call your movie a comedy when the only thing that is remotely funny is the interaction between the brother and that U.S. Department Agent. Overall, you will be better off watching any other movie, for example "Trainwreck", which is a excellent and way way way better title than this one. Overall, a stupid, full of cliches, predictable, boring...

IT (2017) Movie Review

Imagine
IT(2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Pennywise is back and I'm here to give you my thoughts about IT's latest endeavour. So, as much as I liked the 90's version and as much as I enjoyed Tim Curry's performance as Pennywise, this version takes it up a notch, on the scare factor, performances, special effects, sound design and soundtrack but keeping the whole coming of age theme fresh, emotional and full of heart, emphasizing the word "together" because working together and keeping the friendship alive can you defeat one of fiction's greatest villain. And, if I didn't convinced you in what I said so far that I loved this movie, well I'm saying it. I LOVED IT! It's a darker take on Stephen King's narrative and it's way more scarier than the 90's version. This is the adaptation than I was waiting for and it can satisfy not only Stephen King and horror fans but also movie goers of any type and that ...
