Ex-Widows (MCU Series Pitch)

Notes: Itâs only after the watching the damned thing that I discovered that it had received some rather weak reviews and, unfortunately, I would have to agree with the critics on this one. Indeed, it turned to be a huge disappointment and easily the weakest movie Jeunet has delivered so far. Sure, there were a couple of decent ideas but most of it was actually really weak. Concerning the story, it might have had some potential but, eventually, it was just too generic and not really interesting after all. And I shouldn't forget to mention that it was supposed to be a comedy but most of the jokes were just terribly lame. At least, Jeunet has always been a visionary film maker, especially visually speaking, and the idea of having him playing around with so much CGI was actually really neat. However, the whole thing looked just not really convincing and was rather ugly so, even in this area, it turned out to be rather disappointing. Finally, the casting was not bad, at least, I wonât blame the actors, but there were probably too many characters involved as none of them was properly developed. In fact, most of these characters were rather obnoxious but, even if it was done on purpose, none of them was either interesting or really entertaining. Eventually, the more I think about it, the less I actually enjoyed the damned thing and, yet, with such a concept, with such a director, it could have been really cool.2 years, 8 months ago

Notes: Well, as far as I was concerned, I thought it was visually impressive and I really enjoyed the tense dark ominous mood. I have to admit that I was little concerned after I saw the trailer which, to be honest, didnât really impress me as it made the whole thing look like a rather basic vengeance tale. Indeed, the biggest challenge for Robert Eggers was to turn this classic Scandinavian legend which had inspired countless other stories such as âHamletâ or even âThe Lion Kingâ into something new and, if I have to be honest with myself, he didnât really succeed. Sure, I loved the visuals and how was I completely immersed in this vintage Viking world but the whole thing was still too predictable. I have to admit that I didnât see coming the scene when Amlethâs mother pretty much shattered his already fairly demented psychological state by revealing her true feelings about his father and even himself. However, it was the only surprising thing that occurred during more than 2 hours of mayhem. Still, the general madness and the bleakness of the whole endeavor was very much appreciated. Eventually, if you see the current state of our world, 1000 years later, our inclination for violence didnât really change, the only thing which has evolved is that we donât use such seemingly innocent axes anymore but missiles capable of wiping out a whole building. In the meantime, we still manage to fight for the most dubious reasons and we will keep doing it because thatâs our tragic nature.2 years, 8 months ago

“Since I did like âLes petits mouchoirsâ, I thought I might as well check this sequel. To be honest, it has been a while since I saw this movie and, in fact, I even proposed to my wife to watch it first but she didnât mind watching only this sequel. In fact, I wonder if not rewatching the previ” read more

“To be honest, I have never been a huge fan of Shawn Levyâs work but I have to admit that âFree Guyâ was actually quite fun. As a result, I was rather curious about this new collaboration with Ryan Reynolds, even if it was eventually not very well received when it came out. Anyway, since it wa” read more
