CGI and special effects were cool, storyline was interesting, but I think the acting turned me off and the character development wasn't all that great. It also seemed quite cliche - a bunch of cliches actually - and forced.
Let me know if I'm the only one who thought that..

I also saw Sisu in theaters. Wow, three words. Violent, Silent, and Great. So it's pretty bloody as it's during wartime (post-war) with Nazi Germany and there's this lone man left fighting who lost everything. Honestly, there's not much character development for him as much as there is for each of the supporting characters. However, he's admirable and tenacious and just a full-on a bada$s. I would give the movie a 8/10.
I am shocked to see someone rate Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves five out of ten. It was not a ten for me, but it is definitely above five. I think I would give it an eight.

I get you. I loved the franchise a lot. I also prefer the first one out of all.

The most recent film I watched happened to be Barbie! Initially expecting a typical Barbie movie, I was pleasantly surprised to find it delving into complex patriarchy themes, skillfully portraying the struggles faced by both men and women within that framework. Moreover, it serves as an empowering piece for women. By the film's conclusion, both my boyfriend and I found ourselves teary-eyed. I would confidently rate it 9/10 and highly recommend it.

I recommend While you were sleeping (1995). It's a romance about a girl who falls in love with one brother and ends up being with another. It very funny and interesting.

The last movie I watched is 'Us' featuring Lupita Nyongo. I heard it was a good horror movie but I'm currently stuck in the middle. The plot is awesome and it began on a good note. However, the progression was a bit slow and since I'm not done I'll rate it a 3 out of 5.

I just watched Hidden Strike and it was great. John Cena and Jackie Chan made an amazing duo in this movie. It was mostly comedic but it contained some action scenes as well. overall it was good and I gave it 8/10. Not the best but these two actors made something good.

My recent movie escapade took me to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" with my 4-year-old nephew. He's a Spidey devotee, I enjoyed the first installment. The movie was captivating even for non-comic enthusiasts like me. The timing got tricky when, at the movie's climax, my nephew urgently needed a bathroom break. Unfortunately, an accident ensued. Thankfully, we were in a less crowded theater row, sparing us public embarrassment. Eagerly anticipating Spider-Man's next installment! also, the introduction of the Indian Spider-Man, set in an Indian city, received enthusiastic cheers from the audience present. My rating for this movie would be 3 out of 5 stars

The last movie I saw with my best friend was A Man Called Otto. It was dramatically wonderful. It's extraordinarily impactful not to mention, the lead actor was real genius of his craft - Tom Hanks.

I loved how it touches people and it inspires hearts as well as souls.

Timeline is a movie I didn't even know existed until I found the DVD at a thrift store. In the movie Paul Walker's character has to go back to medieval France to save his dad who got stuck there. The story mixes sci-fi, history, action, and romance. It has its rough edges, but I enjoyed it as the kind of family friendly imaginative adventure that is rare these days. The two couples were cute.

The last movie I watched is Guardians of the galaxy 3.

It is easily the best marvel movie that has been released in years, I won't say it was a perfect movie but I can confidently rate it as an 8 out of 10.

What I liked most about the movie was that it actually made me feel which is what we all watch (or read stories for), it made me invested in a character that I've seen multiple times over the years but I haven't really cared about and that's pretty impressive.

There were also some very nice shots (Yes, I'm a camera guy) especially that fight sequence that was all in one shot.

Gran Turismo - I expected it to be okay but instead it's one of the best movies of the year. Neill Blomkamp is known for sci-fi like District 9 but he does a perfect job handling this intense racing story inspired by real life. Archie Madekwe nails the struggle and earnestness of the gamer nobody believes can race with professionals. David Harbour is great as the supporting lead, you root for him too. The movie gets you to respect both video games and racing more.

Latest Review: Women of Fire and Snow by Nati del Paso

I'm actually more of a movie person than a book person but I make out time for both. I recently watched a movie titled 'Fear the night (2023)'. If you've watched the 'John Wick' series and you liked it then I would recommend this movie for you. The protagonist who is the main actor in the movie would be likened to the John wick character but in the female version. It is full of action and suspense so if you're a fan of those you would really love it.
