    ★★★★½

    This kicked so much ass that the ass fucking left the building. One of THE best fight scenes there is. Most of the punches and kicks look like they actually hurt. Excluding the fight scenes, visually this looked like beverly hills 90210 episode. All is looking nice and evenly lit. So basic 90's style. BUT when the murdering and the ripping starts you forget to breathe. Jet Li is on FIRE.

    The circumstances in my life right now are pretty bad. With all kinds of shit hitting the fan. BUT this movie gave me a wonderful warm hug that i needed so bad. I loved this movie and what it made me feel - everything's not that bad when you have different perspective of things for a 90 minutes. You come out more relaxed. This is why cinema is so important. BTW it has fart jokes and people shitting their pants.

    This one is hard to review. It's a mammoth in many ways. There was a time when auteur's were given free hands to do pretty much anything they wanted (60's). Here is a budget, we trust that your name and the star's name will get enough audience/money back for the production company and co. This is not that time anymore.

    I absolutely loved Midsommar. I really liked Hereditary. I waited inpatiently for this one.

    I had to think about, ingest…

    Starts with a bit slow melodrama. Then after 17 minutes the gags begin and they sure are funny. The climax at the waterfall is really dangerous looking and of course really cool stunt. Once the movie gets going it flows nicely. The cinematography is excellent, how is it possible that they got things right 99 years ago and today they still get sometimes things wrong.

    What a movie! I was nailed to that theater chair with batwings. My jaw hurts for biting my teeth together so hard during action sequences. My hands were SO sweaty and actually I just came home and had to change my whole outfit because I was sweating so much! By far best batman actor, best costume, best car, best cinematography and best everything. It's a neo noir serial killer thriller with motherf**ing Batman. Feels like Se7en at times. More intimate than any batman movie before. So intense and tight atmosphere. Highly recommended!
