Heart of Stone (2023)
Total Heart Failure
Yikes. Talking about flawed movies, I wonder how this got an IMdB rating above 3.
First I'd like to slap the writers. They've just recycled stuff you've seen a thousand times before.
Then I'd like to kick the shins of the person in charge of continuity and hope it hurts as much as did watching all of these continuity mistakes.
And how in the world did the costume and makeup people manage to even make Gal Gadot look bad in some scenes?
Even the choices of the locations didn't make much sense. It was probably only to collect film funds - that were obviously wasted.
I could go on like this for an hour. But this production sure isn't worth the time. Phooey to Netflix and the producers.
Robot Overlords (2014)
Very Poor Craftsmanship
Don't waste any time - except you want to show your students how it's not done. The film is terrible on more than one level. There is no excuse for poor craftsmanship. The script seems to be pieced together by taking parts from other movies. But not in a respectable way by honoring other's ideas, they're just taken. The directing is so bad, even a Ben Kingsley looks bad. Don't let the producers pull this off - nobody needs more of this.
There are a lot of ideas in the script that are never fully explained - almost like in poorly crafted video games. The story would allow some suspense. But most of the time a solution pops up prematurely taking any kind of suspense there might have been. And please have the so called director attend a class on how to develop a character before letting him do anything like this again. There are some promising moments - so maybe that could put him on the right track.
