Black Adam (2022)
A decent mixture of entertainment and fantasy.
Sometimes, I feel like asking myself the question, should a movie be considered good, decent or bad depending on how much entertaining it is or whether it has phenomenal and structured character development with solid dialogues and good pacing? Or maybe a mixture of the two?
And I always arrive to the same conclusion. Everything stated above should usually make a movie more cohesive and gripping, but it does not guarantee success. An entertaining movie does not have to be good at everything, just perform well in what is meant to perform for its' category while overall not severely lacking in any fundamental aspect of a movie. Black Adam is a fantasy, superhero movie.
Despite lacking some character development, having rocky pacing, a probably generic storyline and missing a few incredible acting performances (excluding Brosnan's charisma), it does deliver in what you would usually expect out of an action (superhero) movie.
It's packed in extreme action scenes with good CGI, some subjectively fun lines while also introducing a bunch of heroes we haven't seen before in theaters. Furthermore, the movie felt "raw" as the deaths were usually very graphic, which is a plus in my eyes.
I can totally understand, that if you value amazing storytelling and intriguing lengthy dialogues with a deep character development, you may not find this movie very likeable, as it doesn't perform very well in these aspects.
But due to the mixture of amazing entertainment and a bit more basic storyline/characters/dialogue, I give this movie a 7.5/10.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Unpopular Opinion
Ever since season 8 started I was slowly becoming more and more disappointed over the quality of the show (writing and dialogues in particular).
Despite the failures we witnessed in episodes 3-5 ( plot armor, strategy mistakes in ep 3, characters with lazy dialogues, main threat white walkers gone in 1 underwhelming episode, from no army in ep 3 to an army full of unsullied and dothraki , golden company of 20k men nonexistent and many other stuff) , I felt like there's little that could happen in the last episodes.
John killing Danny justifies his morals and character development. Tyrion for once looked smart and wise concerning the new king , justifying his character development. The dialogues were carefully written , unlike the rest of season 8. Beautiful scenes of the dragon raising his wings as khaleesi approaches her army , John petting ghost, throne melting. All characters got their natural closure.
Sansa became queen in the north , Arya started new travelling experiences , John back to nights watch with tormound and ghost . Brienne writing down the history of ser Jeimy. Podrick a night . Bronn got his castle.
Could it be better ? It could've been MUCH better, yes. Would I wish a remake for season 8. I would. With more episodes and better pacing. But fortunately, I felt like episode 6 was a great closure that justifies most of the characters' development. Would've been unfair to rate the episode low just because I didn't get exactly who I wanted to rule. As long as every character stays true to his character development and there are no loose ends , I'm very happy.
9/10 for the amazing performances by all actors, old school well written dialogues , beautiful cinematography and a justified fulfilling end to every character developed.
Justice League (2017)
Don't expect anything more than a mediocre movie
I've been waiting a few years for this movie only to be dissapointed. I'll try to cut this as short as possible.
1) The whole film felt very rushed. It's obvious that DC is in a rush but they should've seen it coming. The characters had little if at all development, lots of scenes felt awkward , without any chemistry. On addition, because of that, it's hard for the audience to connect with the characters and really develop some kind of an attachment which is crucial in actually really caring about what's happening.
2) The CGI was awful. I can't really understand why, since the budget wasn't low, but some scenes felt very fake.
3) The villain was a joke. At no point in the movie did he feel threatening. Quite boring and a poor selection by the writers. Generally the plot was very bad and the main reason the movie never shined.
4) The acting was ok, nothing outstanding.
5) Liked the balance between ''serious conversations'' and jokes told. Felt very natural and entertaining.
Hoping for something better in the future. I did like BvS but this one underperformed. 7 was a very generous rating.
