Extraction 2 (2023)
A Slight Miss in Reality
The storyline didn't quite live up to my hopes for the sequel. It tilted towards being too unrealistic and reckless.
In the first film, the protagonist's death wish was more understandable, given the context and the unplanned events. Plus, he was the only 'suicidal' one. However, in the sequel, it seems to be a team-wide phenomenon and many team members end up dead trying to rescue a few, all due to very risky and poorly planned operation, considering the professional nature of the rescue team.
The creative team's shift from the original trio of Ande Parks, Joe Russo, and Anthony Russo to just Joe Russo might have contributed to this tonal shift.
I genuinely hope they correct these issues in the third film to avoid ending up like the John Wick series. Although the John Wick series started out realistically, each sequel has escalated into increasingly miraculous and unrealistic feats. This trend may be acceptable in a DC/Marvel universe, where characters possess superhuman abilities. However, these feats feel out of place in a franchise where the protagonist is human.
All in all, it didn't meet my expectations, and I was somewhat let down. Despite this, it's definitely worth watching because everything else hits the mark.
Your Place or Mine (2023)
Me and my wife loved it
Me and my wife loved it. Luckily I didn't see the reviews before, otherwise I would easily skip it.
Based on the title and the trailer I had a different impression about what the movie was about, but decided to watch it just because we like the cast, and it turned out much better than expected.
Please ignore the haters and give it a try. It's hooked us up from the beginning. Definitely worth it.
I thought the ending felt a bit rushed, but good none the less.
What else can I say without giving any spoiler... I was surprised when after watching came to give 8 stars and saw all the bad reviews and comments. Definitely must stop looking for reviews and start taking more chances.
Eike, Tudo ou Nada (2022)
Worth watching
Me and my wife really enjoyed this movie. If you live in Brazil and always questioned "how could this happen", this movie will be very enlightening, and even if you have no idea who is Eike Batista, you will enjoy this movie, as it talks not only about him, but about the way businesses are built and portrayed to investors, as well as the drama of rising and falling, watching your dream become a nightmare.
I was surprised how good it turned out to be, as for the first few scenes I thought I would not like it, but quickly it picked up and had a great pace.
Actors and director did a great job. Well done.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
My preferred StarWars movie
I just watched it again after seeing the new trilogy by Disney and it just confirmed my assumptions... It's a pity that George Lucas is no longer in charge of StarWars. This movie is better than all the new ones in many ways, but mostly because it is focused on the Jedi training and the force. Qui-Gon is a teacher, master and guru through out the whole movie, plus it has a great cast, and everything else is done great. The most underrated StarWars movie.
Ad Astra (2019)
Most underrated movie
I loved. Till now, used to consider google ratings as a great guidance: above 90% good, a bit far from it, not worth trying. Now I'm glad this movie came out on cable, otherwise I would have missed, as it holds only 60% on Google.
I wouldn't say it's a slow movie because I didn't press the forward but not even once, and I easily do that. It has a great pace and keep me wanting more. I was not bored at any time.
Definitely recommend.
O Doutrinador (2018)
Could be better
One thing I don't get it...what special agent goes to battle without a bulletproof vest?
London Boulevard (2010)
Definitely worth it
If it wasn't for the ending (I like happy endings) I would give it a 9.
I read a few reviews before deciding to watch it (and luckily I ignored it), were they say a bunch of negative stuff...it's nonsense. The movie is great. Much better than expected.
American Assassin (2017)
Much better than expected
I'm glad the bad reviews didn't keep me from watching this movie. Decided to give a10 min try, and got hooked. Awesome movien all the way till the end. Haven't read the book.
Haywire (2011)
I'm glad I watched. Much better than expected
I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the reviews. The storyline is really good. Had a good time.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)
If you liked the first one you MUST watch this one
Don't let yourself be fooled by the bad reviews in this site. I almost did it myself. Luckily my friend insisted and that's why I'm writing this review (I can't remember last time I wrote one). I loved it as much as the first movie. It has all the same ingredients on a new story. The last action scene I thought was a bit too long and a bit cliché, but other than that was so much fun. Rosamund Pike (the defense lawyer from first movie) is not in this sequence and I thought I would miss her (I guess because we were all waiting for them to get along) but I didn't. It actually turned out much better with Cobie Smulders.
I won't get into the details, so go watch it and you won't regret.
