As a huge fan of the director, the cast, and the Dune Series, it pains me to give this movie a low rating. (I was so ready to give it a 10.)
Unfortunately, this movie did not meet my expectations for excellence in storytelling. It seemed to prioritize plot over explanations and character depth, which left me feeling disconnected from the characters and their struggles.
I believe this movie would benefit from more telling than showing, as what was shown felt overused and clichéd.
It wasn’t that bad, just too predictable and unnecessary long. However, I wouldn’t recommend it either, because they left out interesting stories and chose the boring ones in the movie instead. lol
Certainly, the plot in Argylle was ridiculous, the fight scenes felt rather silly, and the film's runtime was excessively long. Ordinarily, I would have rated it a 7, but the dance fight with Snow Patrol's "Run" playing in the background was so good. I couldn't help but bump up my score.
I just finished watching Maestro and I have to say, it was incredibly theatrical! ...and that's pretty much it. Lenny really hit the nail on the head when he talked about the stark contrast between the Maestro's life as a conductor and a composer. It felt like the whole film was meticulously orchestrated, but lacked genuine emotions. The script seemed to rely heavily on Felicia to bring out his humanity. I wonder if this was intentional or just lazy writing?
One of the better superhero movies this year. Very entertaining though the story was underwhelming. Pure bromance, then ditched every else. Mera was surprisingly in this more than I expected, though you’d think her character was mimed or something most of the time 😅.
The trailer didn’t show that this was the musical movie, I would’ve watched it sooner if I knew!! Timmy Tim should’ve got a rap score on this lol. Very straightforward story but very entertaining nonetheless.
This movie would have been better as a 2-part movies or a limited series. The character development in Part 3 could have been improved. However, I still think this movie was quite good and managed to capture the essence of the book (although the tone was slightly softer in my opinion.)
Great trio! Ms. Marvel added lots of flavour. I recommend watching Ms. Marvel the series before heading to the cinema. This movie should've been 2 hours lengthy because it was so rushed. I was excited for the switching fight sequences, but they needed more time to develop the characters. The worst part was the villain, which may have added real depth to the story if told properly. I still enjoyed the movie, but it could have been better.
