Nobody (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Bob Odenkirk with a particular set of skills

Posted on April 8, 2021 by kaist455

“Nobody” is exactly what I expected from its trailer, and it did its job well enough to satisfy and entertainment me despite not surprising me that much. Again, we are served with a shamelessly brutal and violent action flick about … Continue reading →

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Clash of Titans

Posted on March 26, 2021 by kaist455

“Godzilla vs. Kong” overwhelmed me more than once, and I sort of admired that. Like its predecessor “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (2019), the movie relentlessly flaunts excessiveness and outrageousness from the beginning to the end, and I finally came … Continue reading →

“Zach Snyder’s Justice League” is sincerely excessive to say the least. Although I felt rather tired as going through its exciting but exhausting final hour, I must admit that, thanks to its considerably extended scope in terms of story and … Continue reading →

Shadow in the Cloud (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): There is something on the bomber…

Posted on January 9, 2021 by kaist455

“Shadow in the Cloud” is a rather amusing mix of fantasy and war action film with some feminist touches to be appreciated. Although the resulting mix is not entirely successful on the whole, it is at least anchored well by … Continue reading →

We Can Be Heroes (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): They are surely heroes

Posted on December 27, 2020 by kaist455

Netflix film “We Can Be Heroes”, which was released on this Christmas, often tickled and entertained me more than I expected. While this is basically a kiddie version of “The Avengers” (2012), it did a better job of juggling various … Continue reading →

Posted on September 21, 2020 by kaist455

Craig Zobel’s new film “The Hunt” is a mildly amusing horror comedy about a bunch of liberal elites hunting deplorable conservatives. While it looks promising as rapidly throwing a series of nice surprises during its first act, it comes to … Continue reading →

Mulan (2020) ☆☆(2/4): Stick to the animation version, please

Posted on September 21, 2020 by kaist455

“Mulan”, the live action remake version of the 1998 Disney animation film of the same name, is a pointless and unnecessary product which dissatisfies me a lot for many reasons. Although it is not incompetent at all in technical aspects … Continue reading →
