“To be honest, I wasnât expecting much from the damned thing but since it was available on Neftlix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, as expected, it turned out to be one of the weakest movies I have seen released this year (2021) but itâs too bad because the opening scene actually ha” read more

Notes: The damned thing was so weak and itâs too bad because the opening scene actually had some potential. Indeed, I really liked these 2 girls who bonded together and there was something really neat and genuine about their relationship. Unfortunately, it was pretty much the only thing that worked in this movie and, to make things worse, they broke this relationship almost right from the start which was, in my opinion, a huge mistake. Itâs not that the concept was really bad (it was still hardly original though), it was more that the whole thing was just so flat and unfunny. Indeed, Melissa McCarthy basically played her typical foul-mouthed (slightly less) fat dim-witted woman, a role which did manage to launch her career at some point, but she has done this gimmick too many times by now and it did outstay its welcome a long time ago already. Concerning Octavia Spencer, she was basically given nothing to do except looking annoyed at McCarthyâs characterâs antics so she was pretty much wasted here. Concerning the rest of the cast, Pom Klementieff did have some fun playing a bloodthirsty villain but her character was terribly one-note. Eventually, the only one who managed to do something slightly more interesting was Jason Bateman who played one of the weirdest super-heroes ever but, even in his case, this character was still barely developed whatsoever. 4 years ago

Notes: I must have been 13 or 14 years old when I saw this flick and I had the pleasure to see it in the movie theater when it was released. I must admit it, at the time, I was quite blown away by its visual aspect. I mean, back then, there wasn't such an overdose of CGI like today, back then it was something new and it was just downright impressive. Actually, there were just 6 minutes of CGI and the rest was animatronics, just to give you an idea about the fact that wall-to-wall CGI is absolutely not needed. Anyway, this movie definitely belongs to the biggest classics directed by Spielberg and it was the highest grossing movie ever made until 'Titanic' came out. Still, even though I was completely blown away by the special effects, I still can't say the same thing about the plot and the characters though. I mean, even though the whole thing was very entertaining and definitely kept me on the edge of my seat through most of the duration, it was still nothing extraordinary and all the characters were all really stereotypical and none of them was remotely interesting. But, damned, it was still awe inspiring to see for the very first time ever such realistic dinosaurs on the silver screen.4 years ago

One of the worst movies ever made
“I wasnât expecting much from this flick but it had been years since I saw something starring Lindsay Lohan so I thought I might as well check it out.

Notes: Well, the damned thing didnât turn out to be only awful, it actually turned out to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, no less than that. Back in 2013, they also released âMovie 43â which had a similar concept. Indeed, it was basicallly another anthology comedy with various R rated sketches but this one was even worse though. Sure, âMovie 43â was also awful but, at least, with this movie, it was somehow morbidly fun to see a stellar cast making a fool of themselves by showing up in one of the most misguided movies ever made. This movie however had only a few B stars involved (Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez, Adrien Brody, Lindsay Lohan) and therefore not a single redeeming feature. I mean, the damned was obviously not funny at all and it turned out to be also seriously offensive but I guess it was expected with such a title. Seriously, I donât think if I have ever seen a movie showing so much racism for supposedly comic purposes. Of course, the makers would argue that they tried to make fun of racist people but, as displayed in this movie, it is actually really tricky and they obviously failed miserably. Eventually, the material was so misguided, so disturbing, that I felt nauseous through most of the duration.4 years ago

Notes: I thought it was a pretty good story, with some solid directing and a very strong cast (Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Stanley Tucci, Billy Crudup). The realistic approach worked fine as well and it was really neat that they didnât add any sub-plots about the romantic or family lives of the involved reporters. And, yet, somehow, the whole thing didnât really blow me away. I mean, I do have a weak spot for the genre and I really loved âAll the President's Menâ which was obviously an inspiration for this movie but, in this case, even though it was an interesting story, it never really grabbed me. Thatâs the tricky thing with such thrillers, right from the beginning, you actually know how it will end so the makers have to manage to find some other way to entertain or grab the interest of the viewers. In this case, since they took such a realistic approach, nothing really surprising or spectacular happens ever during this movie. Still, even if it didnât completely win me over, it was still a solid feature.4 years ago
