The Last Kingdom (2015)
Boring storyline
Stupid Uthred always in same situation over and over again. Once you past season 2 it became so boring I just fast forward to last season, and still have the same storyline. Obvously these people is not so creative.
The Lion King (2019)
Would've been a prefect remake if only...
Nothing wrong with the movie, great tweak with the story, a bit spice here and there, music top class, noticed the low-profile Broadway-ish and tone it down to more realistic character approach, not to mention the CGI works they've done that surely would be rated as one of the best animation ever or at least stand toe-to-toe with The Jungle Book.
The Lion King (Re-Make) started with its trademark song (The Circle of Life), which was great - no complaint whatsoever about it, but somehow I wondered if that's the best opening scene for this movie? Its phenomenal song and magical moment should be started with something more "enchanted" I would say. Went through the movie and then the scene when "Rafiki had a vision about Simba, with bugs, worms and fireflies", suddenly I realized that this particular scene should be the opening scene for the movie before the song. I believe this is the huge error and Walt Disney definitely messed-up the production, because the scene itself is not relevant to be placed after the song and doesn't add-up with the rest of story-lines.
I just couldn't believe such mistake happened at the level of Walt Disney. Many people said that the movie should be spotless mirror of previous edition, and I think such perspective only goes to people with no imagination. I believe there are many ways to tell a story or we could say "repack the product", but to allow such mistake are just dropping the standard and excitement after all of these hypes.
Sorry guys, just because all the high-techs and the hype doesn't mean we should just ignore the logic of the story-telling. Huge disappointment!
The Professor (2018)
Strong Character and Great Story
This is the movie I have been waiting for. A simple drama with a "Depp tweak". Funny and cheeky, Depp's strong character just fuse nicely into the story-line, supporting casts are fabulous, I mean everything just fell fit into its own parts.
I would rate the movie for 10 stars, but somehow there are two things I find it very annoyingly miss-placed;
1) The "I Still Have Something to Say" part, where Richard saying goodbye to everyone at the dinner. Somehow bad editing is there, when the character was holding glass of wine, and then suddenly change into champagne.
2) At the last part, I somehow find it hard to believe that Richard's daughter is so easily accept the bad-news from Richard and let him go to do whatever he wanted to do. It just felt not so real to me and I believe the connection is stronger with Olivia compare to his wife, and I was expecting the conflict between father-daughter relation to be more exposed.
Anyway, all in all I would have to say this is a great movie and definitely worth to watch.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Amateur Mistake
The timeline all wrong, given the year compare to Iron Man 1. Such an amateur mistake, and couldn't believe the hyped this movie got.
Pay attention in SHIELD abbreviation, in which on Iron Man 1 the word SHIELD first came out at the end of the movie. Meanwhile, in Captain Marvel that happened before Iron Man 1, everyone keep saying SHIELD like it has been established years before.
Once again, being amateur like this is like a scam, making people spend money to see this king of mistake.
In general I aside of such error, I would have to say the movie itself is boring and a lot of bad angle and acting.
Waste of time!
Beast of Burden (2018)
