Opinion on new products - 2025 - Part 3

Lilo and Stitch

It's disgusting, disgusting, again a remake unnecessary to anyone, bad actors and everyone without a soul. That's what I could have said if Disney hadn't remembered what was appropriate. We hired the director of the sweetest movie Marcel, shell in boots, and off we went. Everything is according to the canon, a dangerous experiment gets into the family of a girl who is under the care of her mother. She behaves terribly, but after that, according to the canon, there is a re-education through an alien guest. The director left a lot behind. But he also removed it. The same Jumbo and Pleakley are now the only ones who are dangerous. But there is no powerful chase in the final. But instead, the director sensitively added his own and decided to focus on the sisters, especially in the finale. Thanks for that.

PS Nani.... a dream...

The Fountain of Eternal Youth

I'm waiting for a horror movie from Guy Ritchie. I even wonder what it will look like. Why? Because I'm watching another one of his works and I don't understand what's wrong with him. If at first Richie had style and chips. Now he's doing random jobs. It's a fantasy about Arthur, then an action movie, then a crime, then a military one. And now it's like Indiana Jones. The most cliched movie with no zest or anything special. A random TV project that you'll forget after watching. I don't know why Richie is still filming this. We are still waiting for the horror.

Fear Street: The Queen of the Ball

The continuation or the beginning of a new trilogy of a series of films. The first 3 were praised. Although I personally count for once. But there was something about her. To begin with, in this part of the vibe films of the 80s and horror in general. Posters especially hint at this. The music (great songs selected), the sound and the actors in general. There is a charm. But this is the usual slasher with a twist at the end. And I even guessed it a little bit. But that's the essence of such films. A stupidly bloody harvest. Slasher is a standard theme. An easily made movie. Therefore, I don't really understand the general haight. As well as ratings.

The last tomorrow

Trey Edward Schultz tries his hand at horror 2 times. This time, the commercial features Ortega, Keoghan, and the main star singer The Weeknd. 15 percent of critics and ratings are almost in the red zone. Is it so terrible? Suddenly not. To begin with, yes, in some places the singer is underplaying the truth, and you don't believe him much in some places. But that's not even the focus here. The film itself is a psychological horror for the stars. Where it is atomospheric and visually and even more musically up to the tempo. Keoghan, as the boss, asks for more. And the singer withdraws into himself. He also meets a crazy fan who asks for more. And this is a rather unusual and interesting pitch. There's even an art house in some places. It's so simple that sometimes I wonder why the grades are low. But the 2 minus is the same pitch. Something in the spirit of Skinamarinka, where you figure out for yourself what's going on here. And not everyone likes it. That's why it's really interesting to have a movie to discuss, and even more so an unusual advertisement for an album. But not for everyone.

Palm Tree 2

The original is a film based on real events and a remake of a little-known Soviet film. The story of a dog that is like Hachiko waiting for the owner. A rather touching picture of Domogarov Jr. Surprisingly, the sequel exists for some reason and was shot by its debutant. In the end, it's a good movie with a vibe of villages and bears. It's a pretty good family movie. It's even great to watch. Only the meaning of the name has disappeared. Personally, I don't see the point in a sequel, even if there's an inappropriate plot and the dog itself is just there. Oh my.

Zhdun

The long-awaited review of the year. A great movie. However, with problems. The main problem is that the meme is already 10 years old. The second is that there is a carbon copy of the Alien and Lilo and Stitch. And the films are still more than 10 years old. The third in the 2005 level chart. But it's true, by the way. The fourth problem is in the glossy picture, as if you are watching a movie with CTC. And the last thing is humor, there's nothing for adults to do here. Now to the pros.

Bring her back from the dead

The Philippa brothers gave us Two, three, a demon, come a couple of years ago!. A great horror movie with an interesting plot and conflict. The new job remains the same. The plot is again around teenagers who once lost a loved one. And there is mystery around them. Hawkins plays the one who takes care of them. And the first question is from her. Despite the fact that the actress is gorgeous, you literally immediately realize that something is wrong with her. But the heroes don't care. There's also a strange boy walking around. But thanks to the genre, there are a lot of tough scenes. Especially with a knife... It's a tin can. And even the movie turns into a zombie movie. But I didn't see anything better than their first work. The same theme, the same nonsense and the same cheerful horror. I didn't see anything else. But it's worth watching.

The Phoenician Scheme

This is Wes Anderson.

7.2/10

For the rest of us, it's Wes Anderson. He shot his films steadily again and for his own. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Yes and no. I praised the same messenger more. But even though the city came to me, it looks pale for such a director. This is a spy comedy thriller where Benicio and his Daughter are trying to get out of trouble. It's funny that an action movie stands proudly in the genres. And the first thing is that clickbait. In fact, after half an hour, everything that Wes habitually takes off begins. In some places, philosophical reflections, surreal humor and a bunch of stars. Cool. But it's like I'm already bored. And even though I like modern Wes. It's time to find something new. I want to pass the horror.

7.2/10

Ballet dancer

The movie Desolation was recently released. Everyone fucked with him for cliches and found some hidden meaning. Although everyone knew that an action movie is an action movie and this is not the main thing. It's the same with this painting. The plot here can be described briefly. Anka runs and kills and is cool. That's it? Yes. That's all I need. There's still a Reeves cameo. But it was immediately burned down for some reason, although the effect could have been cooler. A great action movie that I didn't expect much from either. And someone even waited for failure for some reason.

7.5/10

Predator: Killer of Killers

The return of the Predator. Even though he came back still in the Loot. It was with this cartoon that he reinforced the status that Dan Trachtenberg really wants to expand the universe and even connect with another one, namely with Strangers. The current officially isn't even a crossover in the plans. This cartoon is an antalogy of 3 stories. About a Viking warrior, a Japanese samurai and a pilot from the war who fought with a Predator. And it could only be a story within a story. But this not only shows that the Predator was everywhere, but also leads to a logical crossover at the end and a hint of a sequel (a cameo at the end of someone). All this with animation in the spirit of Arkane, action and bloody, and a whole story with references (and to other films). We are waiting for the movie with Fanning.

7.5/10

The ritual

David Mydell had previously shot a horror film that was praised by critics (97 percent) and now he has shot a film with 0 percent (already 7 of course). A paradox, of course. But despite the debacle. It's suddenly a bad movie, not a terrible one. The film tells about a real exile and 2 priests who follow different paths. First, count how many good exile movies you remember. I think one. There are some good ones, but none have reached the level of the Exorcist. That's because they showed everything there. There was an atmosphere and something new in the genre and tinplate. And now, in 2025, you just sighed and forgot. Especially if everything is done poorly. The characters are cardboard, the scary moments are weak, and the exile itself is the operator's epilepsy and typical antics. Yes, suddenly the actors are normal. But it doesn't save everything. Well, as I said, it's sunset for Al Pacino, which is sad. 

4.5/10

Predatory creatures

The very horror from Cannes that you don't expect, but it came out. Also with a nomination. Interesting. Just like the movie itself. The story begins corny. The blonde main character is abducted by a maniac who likes to film people eating a shark. The whole movie is adrenaline, which features Jai Courtney, the damn actor who played perhaps the best role of his career. His character is cold-blooded and unfeeling. Why was the movie in Cannes? The maniac himself embodies himself as a predator and everything else is just food, but in this cycle he can also become food. Everything is simple. It's even amazing that you can think about a simple job.

7.3/10

Chuck's Life

Probably one of the most overrated films of the year. I read that it's the new Green Mile and the Shawshank Redemption. The same King and a good plot. But, it's not like that. The film follows the path of Citizen Kane, a current light cinema. The story of a man's life that inspired many to crave for life. But the question already arises immediately - what about? I didn't see anything in the whole movie. Unless he knows how to dance and hooked up with an Asian woman and then a mulatto (or is it the same character...) Actually, there's nothing out of it. There are a lot of stars in terms of actors, but the main star here was given 0 good scenes. Besides the same dance, it's brilliant. Yes, he is played all the time by other versions from childhood. Well, as a result, the film plays on feelings of longing for life, inspiration, and so on. I've seen it many times. Therefore, I will not shout a masterpiece. Look at the Mysterious story of Benjamin Button, this is also a story about this, but much more emotional. And comparing masterpieces like the Green Mile is even a sin. There's a story head and shoulders above it.

How to train your dragon

Do you remember how everyone fucked Snow White? All of a sudden, there were two good remakes. I wrote about Lilo and Stitch. That's why I'm writing about it. In fact, the film doesn't provide anything new at all. Except in places. Like Astrid is a crasher now, or Butler is even more good at acting than in his animated version (there might even be an Oscar nomination, why not?). But it's like there's nothing else to do. They give everything the same as it was, knowing that 2 times it won't work like then. But looking at all these decorations, graphics, or how they tried to do it, I just want to praise and not scold. We are waiting for the Oscar for graphics. Just like Stitch. We're going to have a log cabin.

8.0/10

The materialist

A new drama from the director of Half a lifetime. That movie went crazy. That I even got into the better 20s. Here she has a love triangle again, a current with the stars. Therefore, the masterpiece did not come out again, but it turned out well. The film follows a stereotypical trope about an arrogant heroine who chooses between a simple and poor Chris Evans and a rich Pascal. From the very beginning, the ending is clear and that the heroine will change. Therefore, you can evaluate the acting skills of Dakota, who lacks good roles or Chris Evan, which in some places even pulls more than her. As a result, we get a pleasant and light melodrama. But not the best movie of the year. It's strange that there's not much powerful stuff this year.

7.2/10

Valley of the Echo

The director of a good movie The Beast has reached Hollywood. He's already in it, though. It's just that the previous movie failed in the ratings. Therefore, there was hope for this one. Unfortunately, for many, this is a regular thriller. But, interesting. The story is banal, but interestingly scripted. The daughter and mother live peacefully, but one day Sweeney comes full of blood, she accidentally killed a man. Next, the mother covers her tracks and worries about everything that can be in crime and punishment, it all turns into a psychological thriller and even a bit of horror. But in the end, it's all trivial. Moore played great, Sweeney didn't do much (for some reason, this is a minus). Glover also played powerfully here. It's not every time you see him like this. As a result, you can take a look at it. But only once.

6.5/10

28 years later

The long-awaited sequel to the world of zombies or infected. Despite the word sequel, the film is independent and it even needs to be reviewed by previous films. The story tells about a certain settlement on an island that, 28 years after the beginning, survives in this world. The main character is a boy who goes hunting for supplies with his father, he has a mother who needs treatment and yet, despite his cowardice, decides to find a doctor with her to save his mother. There are already 2 films this year that talk about death. Especially after the finale, you realize Boyle's point. Despite all the nonsense and even humor, the picture is solid, the characters are good, and the arch and the road from home itself. All this is the beginning of praise. Also, of course, the visual, the atmosphere, the soundtrack, and of course the zombies. They're creepy again. By the way, Boyle left the style of the 1st part. Therefore, in places everything will look like a handheld camera, or rather a phone. Unfortunately, it's not a masterpiece, but it's a great start to a new trilogy. We are waiting for Cillian Murphy in the sequel. 

7.5/10

Cape Town Demon Hunters

Yes, I also wouldn't believe that suddenly an unexpected cartoon about K-pop singers fighting demons is a future Oscar contender. Moreover, the cartoon runs for about 20 hours, but it gives you so much. To begin with, yes, that's all true. We are given 3 heroines who protect the world from evil. But, unlike similar projects, the characters manage to reveal their character and personal drama. Even the villain and his henchmen look very interesting and mysterious. Especially in the finale. Well, it's worth noting that the animation looks like the cartoon I'm blushing. And it's immediately gorgeous. We are waiting for the new universe.

8.2/10

By the way, there are many Korean stars in the voice acting.

Formula 1

Kosinski surprised me. After the unsuccessful Spiderhead, I shot the Oscar-winning Top Gun 2 and now I'm sure I've continued this theme and it looks like I've found my style. Formula 1 is an easy and simple movie about a racing driver. The racing is awesome and the hero's story is simple and straightforward. And it's gorgeous. You don't need more than that. It all looks especially cool in the finale. Brad Pitt has charisma as always. We are waiting for a wave of racing movies.

8.0/10

Megan 2

1 the film turned out to be a roofy horror in some places. But I collected the cash register and was praised by everyone. The creators realized this and have now given us a sequel. Only completely like this. This is a very banal and predictable movie where Megan has become kind (there are a lot of flirtations with the Terminator) and is now saving the world from the villainous villain and terminator milota from the TV series Andor. Now there's more emphasis on slapstick and action. There is little horror, and it even seems that the film has been made more for everyone. Despite the lack of critical acceptance of this part. The audience shockingly rate the bill. Suddenly, I'll join too. I got what I wanted and saw thrash. We are waiting for the 3rd part.

6.8/10

The Squid Game: Reboot

I've been waiting for a movie with us since I was 24. Finally, season 4 at once. Heh. In fact, this is a Thai horror (suddenly) and a thriller about schoolchildren who got into a mysterious fair with deadly games. There are some kind of maniacs here. And the trials themselves are like hangings or don't move. Unfortunately, the games are not well thought out, despite the quality. The games themselves are almost easy to complete throughout the film, and characters rarely die. That's why they take too much care of many people. I forgive the stereotyping of the characters, especially since everything is well shot here, but it's strange to shoot games so poorly. We are waiting for the sequel.

6.4/10

Ice Drive 2

The Immortal Guard 2

Ice Drive 2

Part 1 was an average action movie. It had some cool action and a good villain. It looked like a movie for the evening. But there's nothing new. That's why we decided to make a sequel. The director seems to be the same, but it's like he's been replaced. Now it's all about Speed. The current is in a dull shit with catch-up where Neeson and kitoyanochka Binh save everyone from bandits. Action talk in the last 20 minutes. Otherwise, everything is terribly bad.

4.5/10

The Immortal Guard 2

I can say the same about this sequel. Part 1 was original in places and quite suitable. Everything was removed in the sequel. There are no ideas, the plot is weak, the actors have nothing to play, and the final battle with Thurman and she herself is just a byte for the sequel. Which most likely won't be, judging by the angry assessments. Why, just why. They would have made a bloody sequel. They would have given me at least a villain or a villainess. Something could have been done...

4.5/10

Jurassic World: Rebirth

After the failure of the previous parts (in terms of quality), unfortunately, the franchise was not forgotten. There were hopes after the trailer that Edwards was a bit of a horror. Even dinosaurs are not simple at last, but mutants. But knowing who the director is, that's not enough. It all starts off as a template with a heroine who will never be revealed for the entire film and a bunch of similar characters. And the scientist and the specialist and the asshole who goes with the team. As a result, the cliche plot copies parts 2 and 3, but there is still little social horror. And all this is shown in the last 15 minutes. In the end, you can just stare at Scarlett Johansson and the creep dinosaur park and that's it. It's not the worst part of the series, but it definitely needs to change course.

6.5/10

The Iron Heart

They wanted to. I just watched a couple episodes of this magnificent and ingeniously made piece of cinema yesterday. Unfortunately, it's not as brilliant as the critics see it. But wow. Marvel doesn't give a shit anymore that they don't even try. The character is unpleasant and the actress doesn't play very well. Just like the others. The quality is poor in places. And so they decided to replace Iron Man with a teenager. You forgot about the important things. This is the path and path that the hero went through. And here the heroine already has everything. Thanks Marvel. But it's still bad.

3.5/10

PS: I have now realized that this is the worst assessment of Marvel projects of all. Amen.
