    Batman Begins

    ★★★★½

    It's a superhero formula that just works because the film has its own style. The actors fit perfectly, the film looks great, the story is riveting and it fits perfectly into the character. Christian Bale is absolute madness, he embodies Bruce Wayne like no other, and has a great timing for comedy coupled with an incomparable coolness. While the film doesn't manage to get past time, the action scenes look very bad at times, it's still a lot of fun that few films get to. Everyone could like that!

    It's a great film with too little structure and guts. Visually, the film is very impressive, the apes look fantastic. The beginning is great and makes you want more, only to end up in the last third in a typical story you've seen a thousand times. Unfortunately, there's little interesting here: all the characters are okay, the action looks heavy-handed but doesn't bring much to it and the emotions the film can't really score either. It's just fine on the whole, but nothing more.

The first two thirds of it, to me, are just insane. Rarely have I been so captivated by a story. The acting is more than impressive, the music scary and threatening, the camera and the set are perfect. Everything is so wonderfully unpleasant and unique. I've never seen anything like…

    The Brutalist

    ★★★½

    Rightly a contender for this year's Oscars, The Brutalist embarks on a post-war journey and shows us just how difficult life can be for a foreigner in a foreign land. With several different facades, you manage to bring to the screen a film that, above all, gains strength from its ending, but falls far too long. Above all, the story with the protagonist's wife always takes the viewer out of the action. Even so, the camera, the acting, the score…
