Jungle Cruise (2021)
A Surprising Adventure Movie!
I was truly surprised by this film! The special effects were impressive, and hearing Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" was the highlight for me, as I'm a big fan of that song. When that familiar guitar riff began, I was overwhelmed with nostalgia and excitement. It's a song that really tugs at your heartstrings, and in that moment, it just elevated everything.
I'm not a fan of Emily Blunt but, Dwayne Johnson really brought his character to life, blending humor with the thrill of his quest.
The scenery was breathtaking, almost like a character of its own, transporting me to another world.
Overall, "Jungle Cruise" was a delightful surprise that exceeded my expectations and left me wanting to recommend it to my friends.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
The 2023 version of Indiana Jones!
This movie offers plenty of adventure scenes (I promise). However, as the movie progresses, it shifts from an epic adventure to a sci-fi narrative.
When I watched the movie, stories like Archamidius's time machine and the scenes searching for its two separate parts attracted me so much. However, as the movie progressed, I became tired of the conflict scenes.
The movie's special effects are its strongest aspect, while the weakest is the portrayal of an older Indiana Jones who wins every fight as effortlessly as he did in his youth. (how it can be possible!)
In the end, I recommend this movie to people who are crazy about fantasy stories and scenes but those who admire scientific stories better looking for another movie to watch.
Hame Chi Aroome (2012)
A meaningless movie...
The Persian cinema is ashamed for this movie because of its blatant disregard for cultural authenticity and historical accuracy. It embodies a grotesque caricature of our traditions, reducing rich narratives to mere spectacles for commercial gain. The characters, poorly crafted and stereotypical, do not reflect the depth and complexity of Persian identity. Instead of celebrating our heritage, the film wallows in sensationalism, perpetuating damaging clichés that overshadow the true artistry and stories that define our cinematic landscape. Audiences deserve better than this hollow portrayal that undermines decades of meaningful storytelling in Persian film. It feels as if the filmmakers have turned their backs on the very roots that nourish our artistic spirit, leading to a collective sense of betrayal among those who cherish our cultural legacy. This movie serves as a painful reminder of the pitfalls that can arise when commerce eclipses creativity, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of those who love and respect the art of cinema.
The Prestige (2006)
Christopher Nolan's signature
"The Prestige" is one of Christopher Nolan's signature films, featuring a compelling storyline and standout performances. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman excel in their roles, outshining the rest of the cast. Although Scarlett Johansson was not widely known at the time, her performance was also commendable. The film's greatest strength lies in its narrative which includes a multi-faceted storyline full of surprises for audiences.
I view it more as a thriller than a drama or steampunk due to the intense competition between the main characters.
At the end, I recommend "The Prestige" to fans of mystery and thriller movies with a Victorian-era atmosphere.
Imagine Me & You (2005)
Disappointing romance movie
I was disappointed by Imagine Me & You (2005) because I was expecting a typical romance movie to lift my spirits during my leisure time. However, it ended up being a waste of time with a story full of flaws and low-level roles. Every aspect of this movie has several weak points, such as the character development was lackluster, and there was unconvincing chemistry between the lead actors. The plot felt contrived and predictable, failing to evoke genuine emotions or connect with the audience. Overall, "Imagine Me & You" fell short of delivering the heartwarming and engaging romance it promised, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and regretful of investing my time in it.
On the other hand, I'm a little shocked because of its high IMDb rate (6.7 from 36k users), and I can't accept it.
Despite the seemingly high IMDb rating, I personally find it hard to comprehend how "Imagine Me & You" earned such praise. From my perspective, the movie lacked the depth, resonance, and authenticity that I seek in a romance film. The disconnect between my expectations and the actual viewing experience was palpable, leaving me questioning the criteria that led to its favorable ratings. Perhaps, amidst the multitude of opinions, mine stands as a lone dissenting voice, unable to resonate with the majority who found solace and enjoyment in this particular cinematic endeavor.
Vacation Friends (2021)
Free your mind and enjoy your time!
Vacation Friends (2021) is one of the best entertaining movies I've ever watched.
From start to finish, the hilarious antics of the characters had me laughing uncontrollably. The chemistry between the cast was electric, making every scene a joy to watch.
I also couldn't believe how the plot unfolded with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The comedic timing of the actors was spot on, delivering punchline after punchline with perfect precision. This movie truly had me hooked from the very first scene until the credits rolled.
On the other hand, the performance of actors, John Cena and Lil Rel Howery was exceptional, bringing a mix of charm and humor that perfectly complemented the rest of the cast. The dynamic between the four main characters made for some truly memorable moments, with each actor shining in their comedic timing and delivery.
If your expectation from a watching movie is just laughing and spending time to free your mind from tensions and daily stress, I highly recommend watching Vacation Friends (2021).
The Terminator (1984)
Terminator the Great!
The Terminator (1984) is a masterpiece, a shiny jewelry among 80s movies especially when it comes to the sci-fi genre.
Its brilliance continues to captivate audiences even decades later. The seamless blend of futuristic sci-fi elements with thrilling action sequences and a gripping storyline makes it a standout amongst its peers. The film's iconic characters, intense atmosphere, and groundbreaking visual effects all contribute to its status as a true cinematic masterpiece, revered by fans and critics alike. Indeed, The Terminator's impact on the sci-fi genre cannot be overstated. Its portrayal of a dystopian future ruled by machines and the relentless pursuit of Sarah Connor by the formidable Terminator has solidified its place as a cult classic. The film's gritty aesthetic, haunting score, and iconic one-liners have become ingrained in pop culture, ensuring its enduring legacy. As we journey through the annals of cinematic history, The Terminator remains a crowning achievement of 80s filmmaking, a testament to the power of storytelling and imagination.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's portrayal of the relentless killing machine, the Terminator, is nothing short of iconic. His stoic gaze and unwavering demeanor embody the very essence of a cybernetic assassin, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of cinematic history. Opposite him stands Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, a beacon of resilience and strength in the face of impending doom. Hamilton's transformation from a seemingly ordinary woman to a fierce warrior is a sight to behold, her performance standing as a testament to the power of human will against insurmountable odds. And let us not forget Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese, the valiant soldier from the future whose unwavering dedication to protecting Sarah Connor tugs at the heartstrings and adds layers of depth to the film's narrative tapestry. Together, these actors embody the essence of The Terminator, each contributing a vital piece to the intricate puzzle that has solidified the film's status as a timeless classic.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
The Legendary Pirates of the Caribbean Saga
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) was undoubtedly one of the finest fantasy films I have ever watched. It featured numerous action-packed scenes, impressive visual effects, and a remarkable portrayal by Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. The plot was captivating, keeping me enthralled from start to finish. The introduction of new characters like Captain Salazar and Carina Smyth brought depth to the narrative and revitalized the franchise.
In my view, the Pirates of the Caribbean series surpasses other movies in the same genre like Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts by a significant margin.
I eagerly anticipate the future adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow! The film's soundtrack was also noteworthy, perfectly encapsulating the adventurous essence of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga. It effectively balanced humor, heart, and thrills, catering to viewers of all ages.
I particularly enjoyed the interplay between Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, with each member contributing a distinct element. The exceptional special effects further enhanced the movie, transporting me into the captivating realm of pirates and treasure quests.
Overall, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales delivered a gripping and pleasurable cinematic experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to any fan of the franchise.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Elegant and iconic
Elegant and iconic, these are the first words that crossed my mind when I watched the last John Wick movie...
The thrilling action sequences and impeccable choreography truly set this movie apart from the rest of the pack. Keanu Reeves once again delivers a mesmerizing performance as the legendary assassin, solidifying his place as one of the greatest action stars of our time. From the sleek cinematography to the pulsating soundtrack, every aspect of the film is a testament to the dedication and artistry of everyone involved in its creation. John Wick is more than just a character; he is a symbol of unwavering determination and unwavering willpower, a force to be reckoned with in the world of cinema. It's safe to say that this franchise has left an indelible mark on the action genre, and its legacy will continue to inspire and entertain audiences for years to come.
To make the matter more clear, John Wick represents a group of people who can't accept the rules and boundaries but manners but respect, and ethics are an inseparable part of their personality.
They always try to rewrite the new laws they want, but they face strong resistance from those in power.
John Wick refuses to conform to the norms and regulations set by society, often making his own path and following his own code of honor. His actions, though sometimes brutal, are always guided by a sense of justice and righteousness that sets him apart from the traditional authorities. Despite facing constant pushback from those in control, John Wick persists in challenging the status quo and fighting for what he believes is right. He embodies a rebellious spirit that questions the established order and seeks to create a new world built on principles of fairness and integrity.
In my view, he's an admirable person with unattainable goals in our cruel world with immutable rules
aspirations in our harsh world with unchangeable principles...
Heart of Darkness (1998)
Not just a game...
This game holds a special place in my memory, brimming with delightful moments, as it introduced me to the world of video games at the tender age of 9 through my initial experience with Heat of Darkness!
When I was playing Heat of Darkness, I found myself in the world's game with its adventures and exciting challenges. It opened up a whole new realm of possibilities and sparked my imagination like never before. The mesmerizing graphics, immersive storyline, and captivating gameplay kept me hooked for hours on end. Heat of Darkness truly was a gateway to a lifelong passion for gaming that I will always treasure.
For years, I envisioned scenes of gameplay in my mind.
I would imagine myself navigating through the treacherous jungle, facing off against fierce enemies and unraveling the mysteries of the game's world. Each level presented a new challenge, pushing me to think creatively and strategize my next move. The feeling of accomplishment when overcoming difficult obstacles was like nothing I had experienced before. Heat of Darkness not only provided hours of entertainment, but also taught me valuable lessons in patience, problem-solving, and perseverance. It will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that kickstarted my love for gaming.
I know it's not acceptable for most teenagers and children to realize that but I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia whenever I think back to those days spent exploring the virtual world of Heat of Darkness. It was more than just a game to me - it was a companion that fueled my passion for gaming and sparked my creativity in ways I never thought possible. Despite the challenges and frustrations that came with it, I always found myself coming back for more, eager to see what new adventures awaited me.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
The spin-off which is shockingly much better than the main series!
In my opinion, compared to the Harry Potter movie series, Fantastic Beasts excels in several ways. One significant issue with the Harry Potter movies was the audience's confusion about the time period depicted in the movie's world. Was it set in modern times or trying to portray the Victorian era? Conversely, Fantastic Beasts portrays life a century ago, highlighting the beauty and distinctiveness of that era for the audience.
The second reason Fantastic Beasts is superior is that it delves into the lesser-known aspects of the wizarding world, expanding the lore and introducing new magical creatures and characters that enrich the overall storytelling experience. This fresh perspective breathes new life into the franchise, offering fans a deeper understanding of the magical universe created by J. K. Rowling.
The third reason is that,
Fantastic Beasts introduces a more mature and complex narrative, touching on darker themes such as the rise of Grindelwald and the complexities of good versus evil in the wizarding world. This adds depth and sophistication to the storytelling, catering to a more grown-up audience while still retaining the whimsical charm that made Harry Potter so beloved. Overall, Fantastic Beasts offers a fresh and captivating take on the magical universe, expanding the world created by J. K. Rowling in ways that both honor the original series and pave the way for exciting new adventures.
All in all,
fans of the wizarding world have much to look forward to as the Fantastic Beasts series continues to unfold, weaving a rich tapestry of magic, intrigue, and adventure. With its unique blend of nostalgia, innovation, and depth, Fantastic Beasts stands as a worthy addition to the magical legacy crafted by J. K. Rowling. As we eagerly anticipate the next chapter in this enchanting saga, one thing remains certain: the world of wizardry has never been more spellbinding.
Fight Club (1999)
Less than expected...
Fight Club is split into two parts. The first part focuses on the main character's (Edward Norton) life changes and descriptions, while the second part attempts to resolve the mysteries and gaps that were represented in the first part, shows to the audience!
Before watching the movie, I expected a score of 10, but for two reasons, I couldn't imagine a better score of 7.
First of all, the first part of the movie was full of ambiguous points. For example, the way of getting to know Brad Pitt and Helena Carter with the main role was not very enriching for the viewer, or the reason for Brad Pitt's soap-making seemed very unrealistic and irrelevant to the story of the film.
On the other hand, in the second part where the mysteries of the film are revealed, the bugs of the first part are more visible!
For example, why does the establishment of the club begin with Edward Norton's conflict with himself?
Or why, without any logical reason, the owner of the cafe agrees to establish a fight club in the basement of his cafe with a bunch of mobs? (Would a verbal threat be enough?)
Despite the mentioned weaknesses, the film also boasts numerous strengths. From the exceptional performances of the main and supporting actors to the cinematography of each scene and the prevailing neo-noir atmosphere.
In addition, the film's exploration of masculinity, consumerism, and societal expectations is thought-provoking and engaging. The dark humor and satirical commentary on modern life add depth to the storyline, making it a memorable viewing experience. Overall, while Fight Club may not have met my initial high expectations, it still manages to leave a lasting impression with its unique storytelling and thematic elements.
That's My Boy (2012)
Fun, funny, and a little shameful!
Despite the seemingly vulgar script, "This Is My Son" is an entertaining film that instead of the usual focus on generational gaps, depicts similarities in a humorous.
Referring to the fantasy of most teenagers and the combination of this theme or adult consequences that pose risks not only for the current generation but for the future generation and the results of such relationships form the priority of the film's storyline.
The film cleverly navigates through the chaos of intergenerational misunderstandings, painting a picture of absurdity that feels all too familiar. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, blending the ridiculous with the heartfelt, leaving audiences questioning their own preconceived notions about family dynamics. With a dash of wit and a sprinkle of charm, "This Is My Son" manages to deliver a poignant message wrapped in a package of laughter and introspection.
The film's characters are not just caricatures but rather complex individuals struggling to find common ground amidst their differences. As the plot unfolds, we witness the evolution of relationships and the inevitable clash of perspectives, all set against a backdrop of comedic chaos. Through its witty dialogue and sharp observations, "This Is My Son" invites us to reflect on the absurdity and beauty of family bonds, reminding us that despite our flaws and quirks, love and understanding can ultimately prevail.
In Time (2011)
Great concept for a smooth and straightforward movie...
This film is a blend of appealing actors, a straightforward script, and an imaginative concept, enhanced by one of Justin Timberlake's commendable performances, ensuring an engaging experience for the audience.
In Time represents an anti-utopia of the city in the future in which the majority of people must work terribly to achieve more time for living because in the storyline of the movie, "time" has replaced money as an intermediary commodity that can be acquired, traded, and even saved.
In Time portrays a dystopian future city where most individuals toil hardly to gain additional time for living. Here, "time" serves as the new currency, surpassing conventional money, being obtainable, exchangeable, and storable.
On the flip side, there are very few individuals who do not need to struggle to survive and somehow embody the affluent class of the future.
In the same way, the story of the film tries to show the fact that the wealthy class is always looking for a tool to enslave the majority of the people, and this tool, which is called "money" today, can change its nature in the future, but its function remains the same.
In fact, the main message of this film is to introduce this tool (slavery) in the most disgusting and clear way possible and to criticize it from the point of view of the less privileged section of society.
In a way, it is a metaphor for the situation in today's world...
How I Met Your Mother (2005)
A series suitable for all times...
I understand that for die-hard Friends fans, this may be hard to accept, but as a member of the Y-generation, I believe How I Met Your Mother is a superior sitcom. It offers more intricate storylines, deeper character development, a more modern approach, and, undoubtedly, funnier characters!
While Friends will always hold a special place in some groups of people's hearts, How I Met Your Mother has managed to capture the essence of friendship, love, and growing up in a way that resonates with our generation. The legendary love story of Ted and Robin, the hilarious antics of Barney Stinson, and the heartwarming moments shared by the gang at MacLaren's Pub make How I Met Your Mother a timeless classic that will continue to be cherished for years to come.
How I Met Your Mother took the genre to new heights with its innovative storytelling and emotional depth. The intricate web of relationships, the clever use of flashbacks and flash-forwards, and the unexpected plot twists kept viewers engaged and emotionally invested throughout its nine-season run. While Friends may have set the bar for ensemble comedies, How I Met Your Mother raised it even higher, creating a show that resonates with a new generation of viewers and continues to spark debates about which sitcom truly reigns supreme in the hearts of fans. (with HIMYM superiority indeed)
All in all, How I Met Your Mother will always be remembered as a groundbreaking sitcom that pushed the boundaries of traditional storytelling and left a lasting impact on pop culture. Its blend of humor, heart, and nostalgia continues to captivate audiences, making it a timeless classic that will be cherished for years to come. Whether you're Team Ted or Team Barney, one thing is for sure: How I Met Your Mother will always hold a special place in the hearts of fans everywhere.
In the end, I would even enjoy watching it again with my future children.
The Matrix (1999)
It's truly an extraordinary way of life, Not Just a mere film!
When The Matrix was first released back in 1999, it opened up a whole new world before my very eyes and transported me to a world of wonder and enchantment. The notion that challenges the very essence of our being and suggests that we may not truly understand who we are, has always held a certain allure for me. Over the years, I have found myself constantly probing the boundaries of reality and the essence of our existence, much like Neo in the film. The idea of a fabricated reality where our thoughts are manipulated is both captivating and chilling. It leaves me pondering, what if our entire existence is just a simulation? What if nothing around us is actually real? The impact of The Matrix on me has been profound, prompting me to delve into the enigmas of life and the cosmos.
On the other hand, Agent Smith also captivated me because of the intriguing complexity of his mysterious being and the ambiguity surrounding the origins of his unique perception abilities and the nature he embodies. Of course, he's a negative character in the movie but I admire him due to his complexity, depth, and the way he challenges the protagonist throughout the story. Despite his flaws, he adds an interesting dynamic to the plot and keeps the audience engaged with his unpredictable actions and motivations. Agent Smith's character development is truly fascinating, as he evolves from a mere antagonist to a symbol of defiance against the system he was designed to uphold. His relentless pursuit of Neo and his unwavering belief in the superiority of the machines make him a formidable foe, one that constantly challenges the very core of the Matrix itself. In a way, Agent Smith represents the inevitable consequences of a world built on control and manipulation, serving as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power. Despite his villainous nature, there is a certain allure to his character that makes him a standout figure in the realm of cinematic antagonists.
Joker (2019)
Out of description...
One of the best drama-thriller movies I've ever seen. Of course, nobody can deny that "Heath Ledger" was the best Joker of all time but the act of "Joaquin Phoenix" as Joker was outstanding too. Joaquin Phoenix brought a raw and haunting portrayal of the character, delving deep into the psyche of the Joker. His performance was mesmerizing, capturing the turmoil and madness of the character in a truly unforgettable way. Phoenix's Joker stands as a unique and powerful interpretation, showcasing his immense talent as an actor.
It is obvious that I am keen on Joker's personality and role but the other aspects of the movie were great too. For example, the cinematography was stunning, with its dark and gritty aesthetic perfectly capturing the mood of the film. The soundtrack also added another layer of intensity, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Overall, Joker was a masterpiece in every aspect, not just in terms of its iconic character.
I suggest it to everybody as a film that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll, sparking conversations and debates about its themes and messages. Joaquin Phoenix's performance as the troubled Arthur Fleck was nothing short of mesmerizing, capturing the character's descent into madness with haunting authenticity. The film's dark and gritty tone, coupled with its thought-provoking narrative, makes it a must-watch for any fan of cinema. Joker is a cinematic achievement that deserves all the praise it has received and more.
Daredevil (2003)
A nonsense superhero movie!
In comparison with similar movies, this one takes the cake for sheer absurdity. From the protagonist's wacky powers to the outlandish villains he faces, every scene is filled with savage action and ridiculous dialogue. It's a wild ride from start to finish, leaving audiences both confused and bored.
The special effects are laughably bad, with CGI that looks like it was done by a five-year-old. The plot makes no sense whatsoever, jumping from one random scenario to the next without any explanation. And don't even get me started on the acting - it's so over-the-top that it's cringe-worthy. Overall, this movie is a complete disaster that will leave you questioning why you wasted two hours of your life watching it.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
A Disaster...
I found it really awful without any logical scenario couldn't believe how poorly written and executed the whole thing was. It felt like a complete waste of time and money. The characters were one-dimensional, the dialogue was cringeworthy, and the plot made no sense whatsoever. I kept waiting for it to redeem itself, but it just got worse and worse. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy. I can't believe I wasted my time and money on such a terrible movie. The acting was atrocious, the plot made no sense, and the special effects were laughable. I felt like I was being tortured for two hours straight. Save yourself the agony and steer clear of this disaster.
Interstellar (2014)
Unique in its genre
In my view, this movie is a masterpiece in every way, with outstanding music, professional acts (especially Matthew McConaughey), dealing with scientific facts, and explaining points most simply and understandably for the audience.
This movie has attracted me so much that I'm willing to watch it again more than ten times and not get enough.
During the movie, my mind kept going back and forth between scientific facts and human emotions to the point where I often felt like I was related to the characters and got involved in the story.
I recommend "Interstellar" to all scientific and drama movie lovers.
(I don't use the word "sci-fi", I think "Interstellar" did its best to stay away from fiction.)
