Gemini Man (2019): lots of good and bad

At this point, having Will Smith in a movie is like playing in a casino. There is a wide range of expected results.

In Gemini Man, Henry Brogan (Will Smith) is an over-the-top and retiring world class assassin where for some reason finds himself hunted by his own clone. The clone, called Junior (also Will Smith) is a result of a military project.

Fast & Furious (2019): Hobbs & Shaw: cars are now insignificant

The fast and the Furious franchise started as a movie for car nerds and while there are not one of the highest quality movies as far as the scenario is concerned, there are movies worth watching where cars are a major part of the plot. Clearly, the last movies have drifted away from that idea. Come on now, if I wanted to see pure action with just a pinch of cars, I would go and watch “Nambo: Fast blood”.

The Gambler (2014): definition of F@#% you

Jim Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) is a risk taker scratch that… a gambler. Well he is an English professor but ultimately a self-destroying gambler. In his own defense, he is a good person at heart and a Nobelist.

Godzilla (2019): talking too much

I do not know how they did it and why I feel this way but the roar of Godzilla really wakes the scared child inside me.

From a cinematic approach this is a jaw dropping film. They used every modern tool available (and human experience and talent – always give credit to that) to create stunning effects, scenery and obviously monsters. Realistic, scary, thinking monsters.

Baby driver (2017): underdog perspective

Wow! Every action taken is on the beat! Hm… Well lets talking about the bad stuff first.

Shazam (2019): adultified

You grew up in an era where superheroes were born and their personalities and powers where shaped through comics. The probabilities touch 100% that you have imagined yourself to suddenly acquire superpowers. And you have also dreamt of suddenly being an adult.

Hellboy (2019): totaly relatable

Ahhh… Hellboy… the superhero that was forced to be liked in the big screen.

Hellboy as a character had none but also needs no introduction. He is a hell-spawn for Christ’s shake. Working for a national service that deals with paranormal beasts where his father is the head person there.

It would not feel like a reboot if you did not know it.

Dumbo (2019): the force of a remake

At least we know Dumbo got his name from the name Jumbo that changed the first letter for something less appropriate.

Dumbo is born from a circus elephant that was bought to help fight the declining visitor rate and save the circus. Then the plan was that the unexpected baby-elephant would attract the press and then more visitors. However a plot twist unraveled.

Crypto(2019): kinda about crypto

From a line that a character says, what a beautiful bone-structure! Our protagonist is a smart young man and a “”banker”” who made it to the “big” life.

Alita(2019): one-man-army in training

First of all Christoph Waltz is always a win. I do not know how he does it but he is THE best support actor period. Now… Christoph Waltz is a cyborg doctor who found in the scrapyard the remains of a powerful alive cyborg which he rebuilt, giving her the cyborg body he designed for his dead daughter Alita.
