Many people think of the way I talk that I would hate movies, and many are surprised at how many movies I like or what I like for how I criticize these things.
I only criticize things that are important to me and precisely because I have such a great interest in the film market exactly because I wish to turn somehow even Kinofilme and exactly because it is not my hobby, but my passion and my life is I go with it so a lot of seriousness.
A very stupid man once said: Criticism is good, but you should not always assume that you can do better.
But if you have enough knowledge or has worked long enough to understand how it works. Then you can give enough suggestions how to make it better.
I say: you do not have to reinvent the wheel.
But, you should always ask yourself is it really round?
And if it does not rotate, I'm there to make it rotate.

Absolutely Anything (2015)
In the minority creative and less funny
A film with a very good idea but unfortunately it wasn't executed well. I think this film would be better if the protagonist was a child. Since he is a grown man, you constantly wonder why he can't think of something better. He could easily solve many of his problems by going back 2 minutes in time, right? His hand commands to find a better solution since he is literally all-powerful and could be solved by simply turning back time. When the misunderstanding with his neighbor he was spending time with came up, I constantly wondered why he doesn't just go back 2 minutes in time and explain it to her again or why he can't think of a better solution. He could just do that every time he says something stupid. However, there could have been a lot more interesting character drama in this film, couldn't there? That would have made the film much more interesting and engaging, and would have led to a philosophical discussion about whether he's really helping people, since he can literally make sure they can't complain or that they have no choice but to accept what he's doing. But even as a simple, funny, silly comedy with some romantic elements, it doesn't work, as it falls far short of my expectations.
In the real world, he'd secure an island in Hawaii inhabited only by supermodels and fill his bank account with billions, just in case the power is temporary.
Rating this film a "15" seems like an oversight, because aside from two visual gags at the beginning of the film, the whole film could have been a 12a or even a PG. I don't want to write an essay about GPA, but this film? It seems way too restrained, like someone walking around with a footstool under a straitjacket. I mean, if this was an R-rated movie, even an adult movie, then the best of this movie could have been made.
Instead, he lets his dog do the talking and calm his students down.
That could be interesting, someone with absolutely 0 perspectives or 0% creative ideas is all-powerful and can change reality. Then you could make a statement. What a waste it is when people don't express themselves creatively, but no, we don't have that either. Too many scenes are controlled. I can't stand romantic comedies anyway because unfortunately too many problems just seem scripted and forced and I don't like that. And since that unfortunately takes up a third of the movie, those scenes were really unbearable for me.
But I think it shouldn't be. The humor is fine, I don't know if I think that's because British humor isn't really my taste or if it's because my humor in general is very peculiar and unusual. Maybe it would have been better if it was a black comedy or a really dark Bruce Almighty comedy but no, that's something else entirely. My main problem is simply that the film falls far short of my expectations, it falls far short of my expectations and also of its potential and I think that's a shame.
I think another director could have saved this film because someone like Steven Spielberg or Wes Anderson would have given the film more fullness so that you walk away with a smile. Guy Ritchie, Brian de Palma or Park Chan-Wook would have created a much better character drama while addressing the issues or philosophical questions that come with such power. Mel Brooks, the Coenen brothers, Kevin Smith or Edgar Wright would have been better suited for the humor aspect.
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Don't take this the wrong way, but I expected something worse.
It's like a film by Christoph Schlingensief, just with a bigger budget and better camera.
Let's start with something positive: The film has a good cast. It's beautifully filmed, I like the scene transitions, especially with the pop-up card. I like the music and also the great locations, I know the film is over 20 years old, but it doesn't look that old.
There are only two scenes in the film where I had to laugh. Once in the restaurant, where he goes to the boss, Mr. Davidson, and asks a woman, among other things, who then says that she is a woman. And he gets upset because he never asked her about her gender. That's retrospective in today's zeitgeist and society, it's actually hilarious, and in the second scene, when he wants to confess his love to his girlfriend and brings her a bag full of jewels and you can clearly see that it's just glass. I know this is a film production, it's clear that they can't use real jewels. But when I, as a layman, see that it's just glass, I find it kind of funny. Maybe it's part of the joke that it looks so fake, but whatever.
I first heard about this movie about 10 years ago, on a list of the 10 worst movies of all time, and I was surprised because it was the only movie I had never heard of in my life. Then over time I went through other lists of the worst movies of all time and it always varied which movie was number 1, but in any case this movie was always in the top 5. And so I got a little curious. You always see the same scenes on the internet when people talk about how bad this movie is. So the scene with the elephant, the scene with the baby and the scene with the deer carcass. But that's really just a drop in the bucket. That's not the main focus of the movie and there are so many other things going on.
Tom Green travels around the country, does random disgusting things and in the next scene he's suddenly wearing something else.
The film has "cartoon violence", "real violence" in the next, and slapstick in the scene after that, that's very confusing. Few moments seem self-referential and some dialogues could be quotes from reviews of this film.
If Tom Green's original plan was to make a movie that was intentionally super bad (like "The Producers"), then I have to say: I take my hat off to him.
If his plan was really to make a serious movie, then I have to hold my head in my hands.
The biggest problem with this movie is that there are no sympathetic characters in this story or anyone to root for because everyone is behaving badly and nobody ever puts Gordon in his place. The only person you feel sorry for is the neighbor's kid because he really suffers without being able to do anything about it because the rest of the people, the parents, the brother or his best friend could actually say they've had enough of him and cut off contact with Gordon. But they don't. And with some of the other people, you kind of lose interest because you quickly realize that they just don't learn their lesson and Gordon ends up being rewarded for his immoral behavior and actually selling his cartoon. So a person who does everything wrong and actually comes out of this story as a winner is the icing on the cake.
First of all, Freddy Got Fingered was released in 2001.
Drew Barrymore plays Davidson's receptionist in this film.
On July 7, 2001, he married actress, but the marriage ended in divorce on October 15, 2002, after Barrymore had already left him in December 2001.
Well, if that's a coincidence, then I'm Batman and tomorrow is Christmas.
The film is hard to sit through because a lot of the conversations are repetitive, some of the jokes/answers are predictable. And a lot of what Gord says is very tautological.
PS: Throughout the entire film, Gordon commits vandalism that no one questions or denounces but his father's vandalism is. Why?
Sin City (2005)
So the Director's Cut gets without a doubt a 9 out of 10 from me.
It's funny because I've only seen the director's cut. It's one of my favorite films.
I never know where I would sit, but it's definitely in the top 3.
But we're talking about the theatrical version here and I really can't stand that. I think it's really badly edited because the fragmentation of the episodes doesn't do the narrative any good. And the fact that the plot isn't broken up by a title sequence or an episode cover just annoys me.
It's definitely a film that will never be shown again today. We have an all-star cast. We have a black and white neo-noir film. It was just shot in front of a green screen. It's clearly for adults, so for older people, with nothing infantile or childish and. Even though it's black and white, it contains colors in both senses of the word. That's why it's a work of art and not a film.
A Dirty Shame (2004)
The film tells a lot, but has nothing to say.
When I saw this film, I had a lot of thoughts and they were as follows:
John Waters simply rocks.
Clearly one of the worst films I have ever seen,
I could like this 'tastelessness',
Typical American, Christian moral censorship in anticipation of obedience,
Everything in the film looks completely fake,
It doesn't seem artificial, it doesn't seem artistic, it just seems fake and inauthentic,
Is the film any good? It looks like one of those dirty flicks to me,
I always give Knoxville films a wide berth,
I had more to laugh about in my last car accident,
A very fact: Such a film would be an average romantic comedy in Germany.
Wow, that was a complete waste of time.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)
It's a fairy tale and not a documentary.
So what can I say, this film bends the historical facts and some facts and events so that it can tell a story. That's not really possible, nor should it, but whatever, it's a fairy tale and not a documentary.
In addition, the story is very implausible over the period in which it is told. I often wondered the whole time, even though the film has a very fast and decent pace, how it could be that this is not noticeable throughout the entire running time. At first I thought that everything happened on the same day, but no, it doesn't and it's simply unrealistic. Because what we see there is not noticed by anyone.
I don't even want to start on the fact that an eight-year-old child in Germany at the time knows nothing about the war. Especially not when they are also home-schooled and largely indoctrinated.
The positive things about this film outweigh the negative. The film is mostly well acted. All the actors, including the children, are convincing. The dialogue is apt, childishly naive, so that you can believe it and nothing seems forced. There were even a few moments where I had to hold back a laugh. This is a real masterpiece that you can find in a film with this theme.
I don't know who to root for, because some are dumber than the police allow, some are Nazis and the rest are far too passive and naive. The only people who are more of a point of reference are the concentration camp prisoners, but I don't see any of them. I don't even hear them speak or anything, I only see them for maybe 5 minutes in the whole film. And I can't root for them because I know from the beginning that they are going to die, that's the focus of the story, that's what it's about.
The end of this film goes too far. It seems like a parody of a tragic film ending. That's why I couldn't take it seriously and actually had to laugh thanks to the mother's screaming. That's why it's very difficult for me to recommend this film. Above all, I didn't know what this film was actually trying to say at the end.
I find all the scenes in the gas chamber extremely disgusting and unkind, because the editing and the music symbolize thrill and tension, which I find absolutely inappropriate, since it also involves children. And these inhuman acts should not be filmed like an action scene.
The whole film is manipulative and insulting to the victims because it misrepresents far too much and the family is shocked about what is happening behind the wall, it is not true at all. The real people celebrated what happened there and even played with the body parts.
Harte Jungs (2000)
The biggest problem with German comedies is always the slapstick.
This film could be the German answer to American Pie, but whereas the original has likeable characters and a sweet story at its core, this is just one big, long, infantile gag. I think the filming of this film was really hard (pun intended).
But the biggest problem here are the characters. All the characters are hard, unsympathetic, there is far too much relativization and generalization. But unfortunately not so exaggerated and over-the-top that it can be understood as satire and is not. Some countermovement or good advice should be shown separately, for example by cutting to the parents every now and then commenting on the behavior so that the unsuspecting viewer knows not to behave like that. And since everyone sadly gets their happy ending in the end, you could almost call this film anti-educational, since it shows that crime pays.
Maybe I'm just being too harsh. So I'll just skip it and say that the main problem is that the film is boring and not funny.
Zeitgeist: Moving Forward (2011)
There are days when you have no words.
It's not a film or a documentary, but actually just propaganda and conspiracy theories. The first half hour was exciting though.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the content because I know that I'll make myself vulnerable very quickly and I don't want to go into too much detail about what has been said here because I'm afraid of possible scaling or de-monetization. And also on the other hand because I'm generally not a contentious person and...Don't forget, this is a review to rate films. And I know that you can't rate all films perfectly. I can't tar all films with the same brush and I can't compare films like Transformers with films like Schindler's List.
Actually, I find it hard enough to rate documentaries at all because it's like giving your own teaching material a rating. But viewed purely objectively and detached from everything else, I can't recommend this film because it's just too uninteresting from a cinematic point of view.
Zeitgeist (2007)
At least it wasn't boring.
What can I say? It's actually a long, drawn-out version of what opinion bloggers say these days, and it's edited the same way.
All the people who watch the entire film are of the same opinion anyway and feel completely confirmed and praise it to the skies. I don't want to make myself out to be better, but as someone who questions things and is well informed and researches things myself, I can only shake my head because objectively speaking it isn't even that professionally done. I know the whole thing was a one-man project, but when... Even in the early days of YouTube people could do better things, or people with a single camera with toaster quality, a bad microphone and a single lightbulb in their basement could do better things, I don't know what to say.
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
If you love Mario then you will hate this movie.
I really have a fondness for this film. For me it's just a guilty pleasure. I know it has little to nothing to do with the Mario franchise, I know it's objectively a botched movie, it's also majorly flawed in terms of content, and I know it's a very strange mix of Humor and drama has transitions that are far too difficult.
But I think these little flaws are exactly why I enjoy watching this film. Because I just find it entertaining and can enjoy the good, the bad and the ugly things.
And yes, there are good things as well, it's action-packed, it's very creative. The city looks really unique, I see the influence of Mad Max and Blade Runner, but it is still recognizable as a city in its own right. There are also some very good worldbuilding elements. For example, all cars are electric because there are no fossil fuels in this world, King Cooper has this attitude because it comes from the Trex...
And I take my hat off to the brilliant idea of making the two stupid henchmen smarter. In every film, the henchmen are Laurel and Hardy like. This is funny for the viewer, but counterproductive for the evil regime.
And that's a clever idea. That they are made smarter so that they don't mess up anymore. But once the henchmen are smart, they have betrayed the bad guy and turned to a good guy.
This is a very great reversal of that formula and also a great message for such a silly children's film.
But despite all the nostalgia, love and praise, I can't ignore the bad things, like the fact that the Goomba are uglier than Resident Evil Zombie, they gave some actors a colorful T-shirt and then said, this is character XY, Which conspiracy theory regarding dinosaurs and parallel dimensions does not appear in this film?
The film is very detailed and has a lot of Easter eggs, but a lot of details don't make a film and a lot of grimaces don't make a character.
The movie has a lot of Easter eggs from the Mario franchise, but it's like plastering myself with Italian symbols and flags and then claiming I'm Italian, there are a lot of push up breasts and deep cleavage in this film, you can at least hear swear words in the German dub and it has a weird, dirty undertone the whole time, like all the Dan Schneider sitcoms.
What triggers me personally is that me and Luigi wear their costumes too little and too late in the film.
Nevertheless, this film always strikes me as being in perfect balance.
The movie isn't good, but I can't be mad at you.
Joker (2019)
If the primary goal was to polarize, then bravo.
It's really difficult for me to rate this film because I can't get used to it. To learn a backstory about the Joker. The Joker is such a fascinating character precisely because we know nothing about him. The mystery is what makes it so interesting, although on the other hand I have a soft spot for the first half of Rob Zombie's Halloween.
I don't see any problem with that. I actually like it when films give more independence. But since everyone is comparing it to other comic book movies, especially other Batman movies, I'm wondering if it's the lights or if the writers really focused on that, because then I have to rate this movie differently.
As a comic book film I think it's mediocre and as a Batman film or Joker film I think it's even bad. But what is the film like as a whole?
Honestly, I think this film is mediocre. Everything is mediocre, apart from Joaquin Phoenix's brilliant acting, nothing stands out, the camera work, the music, the implementation, the visuals, none of it gave me a real wow moment. (And that's exactly what I didn't like)
In fact, this incarnation is easily considered the most tragic of all, as he is one of the few versions to have a detailed backstory that makes him sympathetic.
So actually I think it's pretty inappropriate that this movie is even called Joker because it has very little to nothing to do with the DC character.
Likewise, this is one of the very few incarnations of the Joker that is depicted as showing mercy when he spares Gary for treating him well. Thus, he is one of the few versions that doesn't bother killing others for the sake of chaos.
The idea with the hallucinations was really good and I speculated several times during the film about what could be real and what wasn't. That was a clever idea.
And the twist that the mother herself is mentally ill and had imagined a lot of things herself and that that ultimately got the ball rolling, which caused her son to be so pampered, was also quite good, but for that, well, I don't know. That just seemed far too late and too little to me. At many points in the film I was simply left hungry and unsatisfied.
I liked the beginning and I liked the look of 80's New York. Many scenes in this film were just too long for me and I had to fast forward at other points because I was just too embarrassed to continue watching. I felt genuinely strange in many scenes. Which is why I had to ask myself three times whether it was worth continuing to watch. And the grey-green color grading in this film got on my nerves. The film doesn't have a single likeable character, which is why I don't know who I should root for or whether I should even sympathize with anyone with a fever.
But what I absolutely hate about this film and what I think should be changed is the editing. Many scenes were just way too long for me, which is why I was really bored halfway through the film, and it was the ending that upset me the most because there were 3 scenes where, in my opinion, you should make a cut straight away, ideally a fade to black and that would have been the perfect ending to this film. Even though I have to praise the imagery in many places. However, since the film has such a slow pacing and your missing is so drawn out. Has previous scenes, even that has been watered down at the end. As already mentioned, the cramped connection to the Batman mythos is disturbing in this case and feels like a foreign body. It would have been enough to simply call this film Joker and one could have made up their own minds about it, especially since the film is a rip off of "King of Comedy" anyway. It wouldn't have bothered me at all, but the constant cutting back to the Wayne family. That really went too far for me. Above all, he also meets the young Bruce Wayne and we have to see Bruce Wayne's parents being shot again for the 100th time. That really made me vomit in anger.
Hook (1991)
It's a typical opium film. The Mega is fun to watch, but afterwards you don't get the power from front to back.
Another typical 90's movie with a workaholic father who doesn't care enough about his family and especially his children and is converted in the end through the adventure of becoming a family man again.
I know this is a cult film so it's hard to criticize the film without pissing people off.
But it's just as hard to find anything good about this film.
I find the idea of an adult Peter Pan interesting, but it struggles with realistic appeal. Mainly because in the beginning it is presented as if Peter Pan is just a fairy tale, just a story, even with real books. Written about it, but is old Mrs. Wendy the Wendy Darling from the fairy tale?
I don't really like that the film has its own appeal and visual style, but so do so many others at times. Now, allusions to the Disney movie and the other movies as well, does that mean all of this takes place in the same universe?
Robin Williams playing an adult Peter Pan is such a unique and brilliant idea. It really is the perfect casting. But unfortunately he is. Much of the film is just sad, calm and depressed.
A very visually stunning film, but some scenes are a little too long.
Maybe the movie would be better if we started with Neverland right away.
I think this movie is a great thing for kids because it has so many things that kids love, it's right and it's over the top. There are so many child actors that Al just fools around and fights pirates. By kicking his butt or throwing things at you. There's a dance party, there's a food fight, etc. And I could put myself into it and, even as an adult, I had a lot of fun watching it.

And the costumes. The costumes are just awesome, they almost surpass the scenery. It's like living in a theater world.
But despite all the praise, there are unfortunately also a few points of criticism.
Firstly, the sound is of course the children's film, but you still have an emotional whiplash here and there because there are also quite dark and violent scenes. People are stabbed, shot or otherwise injured. The film was originally planned as a musical and it shows, but I doubt I would have liked to see it. In some places the characters say quite inappropriate and vulgar things.
Tinkerbell was already in love with Peter Pan in the original, but here she scales up to make out with him and also wants to seduce him? I just think that's sick. All scenes in the real world are terribly boring.
I'm glad that while it's fun and games, the film doesn't undermine its message and the responsibility of growing up. Because at the end of the day, Peter Pan has started a family, and with that he has a job to do.
But you notice Steven Spielberg's typical talents That the film is so cute. Has a candy-sweet atmosphere, the scene transitions are buttery smooth, there are good match cards and the movie is good despite that. Alban still exciting just want to know what's next? So the end, actually the last short film with the flying grandpa, was a bit messed up because the boundaries between reality and fantasy are now blurring and it's difficult for me to understand when and where this film is set, or in which dimension. Would have left it open-ended just seeing how happy the man was. That would have been enough, but everyone else looks totally surprised and happy that someone flies out of the blue and they fly during the day? To the London sky? Ouch!
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Mega iconic character, mega iconic entry, mega iconic movie.
It's a movie that just has so much going on from start to finish and just never gets boring. The film is really exciting, action-packed and funny, but by no means overloaded. This is a typical Crowd pleaser. The film has something for action fans for adventure fans for fans of historical films also for people who like Kissy-romance films there is something here and I don't think there is anyone in the world who could say anything against Harrison Ford.
The only thing that gets a little weird and really embarrassing with each sight is simple. This Marianne. Indiana accuses him that she was a child when he seduced her and since he knows the story behind it, yes it's awkward, but luckily he doesn't get that much attention for it. However, I find his reaction a bit uncomfortable, he accuses her of knowing from the outset what she is getting herself into.
Thank goodness it's just a drop in the bucket of such a great movie that always gets blamed. Indiana Jones herself would not have had any influence on the film's plot. That's not true, because if you think about it, he made sure of that in the end. All these Nazis are running to their own doom because of all these tricks and all these problems that Indiana Jones makes, that's why the Nazis end up getting curious and immediately open the ark of the covenant and that's why they end up dying, because if they had it by plane after brought to berlin, they would have arrived there on time and. I'm sure they would have used that thing as a weapon instead of opening it and Indiana Jones in turn delayed them for destroying their airport. And even if they did, he had no impact on Indiana Jones. He killed so many Nazis and Nazi sympathizers with this trip that he caused great damage to the Third Reich in the long run.
But I digress, what I also love about this film is the character of Marianne. I like that she's a real roughneck and not just a daffodil. It's not depressive stress. Although she manages not to defeat anyone, she still does something. She actively tries to escape every time and manages to do so. And she also has some really smart ideas that she's trying to bring onto his gun.
Hollywood these days is trying to hook and crook in three dimensions. Emancipated women who write characters just watch this movie and you know that not every woman has to pick 10 villains with her pinky. It is enough if the woman is smart and behaves accordingly. Or at least do something and not just sit on her fat ass until the big strong man comes and saves her. And even if that's her job, it's enough if you constantly shed tears of joy.
All the supporting characters are so great, exciting and also really scary. I could really talk about this movie for 10 days and I'm not done yet. I could watch this movie a hundred times and every time I see something new in the background which I love about it. This is truly a film that got it right.
Objectively considered. There may be better or more professional films out there, but Indiana Jones definitely lives up to the hype.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
So it's still Indiana Jones.
It's the most controversial and polarizing film of the entire series, because a lot of things didn't add up with this film either. And as far as I've heard, Spielberg didn't really like this film either.
Well, I personally think it's great because it's something different, but it still feels like Indiana Jones. I saw this one the most when I was a kid and for years I didn't understand why so many people put down this film. Now it's growing up, I can understand it. I still think this film is super good.
In general, I prefer to see the one I see here than many other current Hollywood films because I can't think of a film that's so bizarre and has such tonal breaks and is still mainstream.
First and foremost because of Harrison Ford, who without a doubt makes a fantastic Indiana Jones and even short round I find entertaining.
There are just so many little moments that I like. Which is why I can't be mad at the film. There isn't anything about this film that I find bad or hate in any way. And I have to say. I don't like to take violence against children the wrong way, I don't want children to suffer. But I like that she's shown that, like that that you can really see People are in danger and I also like that the camera is pointed at them. You see all these emaciated slave children, you see them being beaten and whipped and this one child crying and praying to be killed, then you know for sure. Now the punk is going on here, people have nothing to smile about , these are people who need help, and it's also good that a mainstream film shows that you are really shown what kind of suffering is happening there.
From a film point of view, I only have 2 things to blame, namely this villain Mola Ram, he suddenly appears out of nowhere and you don't really know what your plan is and the plot seems so thrown back and forth, they are suddenly there , then suddenly they are there. You just get thrown into the plot all of a sudden. Thrown in and there's no ongoing plot. It's arbitrary to me. I think if you had to focus on that English aristocrat as a villain, that would have worked a bit better and then he'll be taken over by the Mola Murdered Ram and then he went on. But you can't have everything.
Asterix in Amerika (1994)
It's like watching your laundry go through the spin cycle, there's a lot of movement, you can hear something, but it doesn't matter.
This movie is a double edged sword for me, the animation is a bit better here. However, the film is so meaningless and irrelevant.
The character design isn't anything special either. This sausage-lipped senator just looks like a real typical cartoon henchman and Cesar doesn't look like a human in this film, but like the typical cardboard villain who also laughs devilishly and rubs his hands. Make plans. All of this has nothing to do with Asterix as I got to know it
The other audio track is the Schwörerdeutsch dub, everyone's talking, hip-hop slang and jive, that's such a weird idea.
But there are worse things. What I find worse is that the film gets really boring in the middle because nothing happens. The thing with the Indians could be interesting, especially since they don't understand the language, but nothing is done about it either. It's such an unpredictable, run-of-the-mill cartoon. The one that just doesn't exist.
Astérix: Le domaine des dieux (2014)
An all-round successful film.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how good this film is. I didn't really feel like it at first, because now everything is computer-animated and I really miss hand drawn animation. But this is where the film makes the best of it. He looks great. The story is fitting, it's also a movie that deals with the strengths and weaknesses of the Asterix universe. And sometimes uses his entire staff.
I like the subplot with the Romans and the slaves, also this small Roman family that wants to move in there and so on and that not all Romans are portrayed as nasty villains, but as real people, a couple of them have absolutely no idea about the war and just want to live their lives. The slaves are presented as real people and in the end decide to continue working there if they are paid decently and get real food for people et cetera it's so awesome someone really sat down and thought about how we can do it in such a multifaceted way make possible? And he did everything right.
Even little details like that Asterix's feathers on his helmet are translucent and they still move so hilariously like they're all cartoon characters. And that's despite the fact that a lot is at stake in this film isn't so exaggerated So, there are no global threats, it's still just this little Gallic village.
And here's a film that really cleans up its story. Here the status quo is thrown around and broken up at the beginning of the film. And that takes quite a bit of work and all the rest of the film time until the status quo is (almost) restored.
Astérix et Cléopâtre (1968)
Bad character, but a beautiful nose
Undoubtedly a significant improvement over the last one, despite only being released a year later. That was unimaginable, especially at the time.
I also like the gags with the translations they contain. They are unique, especially in German, where there is also a dialect soundtrack.
It always bothered me as a kid that they sing in this film, but now as an adult I can relate to the songs. Especially the level of silliness.
I always tip my hat to the translators' ideas and rhymes and how funny this film is, it just puts you in a good mood right from the start. In German, Cleopatra has a somewhat annoying voice, it's so shrill, so squeaky. It hurts a bit in the ear and because she also screams a lot throughout the movie, it's hard to take. But that actually makes them suitable as a threat.
All of the characters come off pretty well here, and this is a film that makes good use of its staff. Only the architect who built the pyramids and the temple falls behind a bit, he seems far too incompetent and boring to me, which is why I sometimes wondered why he even had this job. But I can overlook that. Suspension of Disbelief.
Astérix le Gaulois (1967)
I would only give all versions 6 out of 10, but the second German dubbed version is your 7
For me, this film is a guilty pleasure. You can see that the film is low budget, so it probably had the budget of half a salami sandwich, and it was produced in a hurry, like a TV movie that suddenly got big and then went to the cinema, which it did, like me. Today was it really true
Of course, it's a bit difficult for me to rate this Film because I saw it in German and it has the German 2 different dubs, one normal and one with a dialect, the normal soundtrack is a bit controversial because it was translated half-heartedly, but I likes them. The dialect soundtracks are quite ok, although only the Gauls speak with dialect, but the second synchronous one, which came out a little later in the eighties, that's the real highlight, that's a hundred times funnier. She has so many jokes and puns. And introduced a couple of little things and Easter Eggs, which are still in German usage today, as well as the one with the woodworm dealer.
The synthesizer music doesn't quite fit, but I can still get something out of the Film, so I have to say I like this film and can only recommend it to anyone who even remotely likes Asterix.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)
At the end there's an Epic Rap Battles of History pretty cringe.
All trailers and marketing are a sham. Spongebob doesn't leave the surface until the last 10 minutes of the movie and? It's not even the focus of the whole movie.
I'm glad that we don't have the typical fish out of water jokes that first have to explain the world to them or that they misunderstand typical everyday objects? I still feel like I'm being made fun of.
Knowing that the first film takes place at the very end of the franchise makes it difficult to get into this film because you know from the start that everything that happens here in the series will be sorted out at the end, given the status quo needs to be restored, which is actually also said at the end of the film.
But that's not a bad thing, it can even be an advantage, because it allows the creators to go completely off the rails and pack whatever they want, as long as everything sounds like it's going in the end. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen that way all.
The animation quality is TV level, the grimaces and crazy moves aren't as extravagant as in the last film. Even the jokes are all jokes, which is what I would expect from the series. That's good or bad now, especially in the period Where it took place, the series wasn't exactly up. Its qualitative high performance. However, Stephen Hillenburg was on board again here and made Spongebob. As we know and live him.
Still, I think it's a bit of a shame that other than the fact that Spongebob and Plankton are a team, there's absolutely nothing in here that we haven't already seen in the series. Nothing new, even the jokes are. Not that new, and I don't just mean for athletes, but for cardboard boxes in general, so that means I've never seen a post-apocalyptic world. The characters live under water, we have to go to the surface, got I've never seen it either. It's. Everything. Goes haywire and now we're living in a world like Mad Max Wow, I've never seen that before. There's a time travel plot wow, I've never seen that either and it could go on like this all day. Everything in this film feels. After a deja vu.
And all major laboring problems are eaten up after a few minutes. In general, the whole plot is a 5-minute problem, because Spongebob could resolve the whole conflict between him and Mr. Crabs if he had told him directly that Plankton didn't steal the Krabby Patty formula, but it disappeared on its own. But .You build a time machine and you can do it in 5 minutes. You will meet the dolphin Bubbles, the guardian of the universe. And that's over after 5 minutes and so on. The whole thing with Burger Bart is better and the film would have worked a lot better if it had met Spongebob right from the start and put stones in his path. But no. They meet way too late and. So much....
The whole film is a drawn out TV episode but doesn't tell the plot. It's in a 3 act structure. And yet it feels kind of long. It only lasts an hour and 33 minutes.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)
I'm a goofy goober
Spongebob set the bar high with his first film and I have to say he doesn't disappoint.
The animation had made a mega leap forward. I like that the movie actually focuses on the story and that it's not a lengthy episode, it's really a real movie with a plot structure as opposed to the series, which is really what this is about.
It's just a good children's series for in between, but it's a movie and I think it's great that Spongebob actually leaves his comfort zone, that Bikini Bottom is leaving and that he. Even rises to the surface. And in fact almost everyone has characters to do something with.
The only downside is that the film relies far too much on comedy at times and there are a lot of montages where the characters just make crazy faces. But on the other hand, I have to say that I like the message and don't find it interesting that Spongebob is really confronted with his flaws, which is that he's just super childish.
And I find it interesting that his weakness is turned into a strength here, so that he has achieved his goal despite having children, but only at the end when it counts. To be a man. Or deal with it. Dealing with the fact that he lost his childhood made his day. It's a bit out of hand, it's kind of a deus ex machina, but the number is so brilliant and such a great rock number. I love it.
Pitch Perfect (2012)
it's dragged out a bad icarly episode
Yes, it's very difficult for me to rate the thing because I hadn't finished watching this film either, but if I voluntarily decide to watch the film during the film, I regret this decision so much that I break off the film prematurely that speaks volumes too.
Every 20 minutes i left the room to do something else i don't usually do that in movies but in general it's very difficult for me to get involved the characters were too strange for me i hardly liked anyone why doesn't the protagonist do movies it's kinda weird The acapella aspect didn't bother me at all, but I still kind of missed the emotions and I also find them kind of uncomfortable to have so much sex and adult jokes here on the one hand it's child-friendly with the crowbar and on the other hand this one perverse humor i feel like i'm back in your one of the worse danschneider series.
Invincible (2021)
I like it, but ...
Your super cool series that I can recommend to everyone and that does a lot of things right, above all turning the superhero genre upside down or at least reshuffling the cards, I'll just list the things that the series does wrong.
1. Time flies on the show I never noticed it, if it wasn't said all the time I wouldn't have guessed that the first season was within a year because you have absolutely no sense of time here with all the hospital stays and how the characters develop, if you had asked me, I would have assumed from the beginning that it would take a maximum of two months.
2. Amber is an unlikable character who I absolutely disliked from the middle of the series and every scene with her got on my nerves terribly. I even wished at times that she would be written out of the series entirely or just die.
3. I bought the comics, although the original template doesn't play a role purely for this review, but I noticed that basically they both do the same thing, I find Amber implemented much better in the comic and a lot more likeable than I do here in the series.
4. The drawing style is a bit strange it just seems like some Saturday morning cartoon from the start
5. The computer generated graphics stand out and don't blend in well with the backgrounds
6. The explosions are clearly digital, which I don't think is a bad thing, but when even the backgrounds are so digital, especially during the flight scenes, I always scratch my head
7. Mark's racing animation is the last one so that's the only thing in the series that really looks bad from start to finish
8. The music is hit and miss the parts songs and generally the background music is really like a coin toss.
9. The only tension in the series is the mystery of Omniman. What you only find out in the last episode and then the secret isn't even such a huge deal, at least not the revelation strong enough to justify waiting eight episodes.
10. The love stories in all my films and series have never interested me and the comics are the same here in invincible it was the same again that didn't bother me from the start I was glad that Mark found a girlfriend but it worked for me from the beginning just like the annoying girlfriend who nags every now and then and in the end you will still tell her that she is a superhero from the beginning and that her actions and statements are even more superfluous.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)
It's absolutely sickening
It took me three tries to watch this movie and I've only just finished halfway through it. Actually, I want to give every film a fair chance and it's actually not my way of not watching a film to the end and still evaluating it, but I think if I have voluntarily decided to watch a film and then I revise this decision again in the meantime so much so that I break off the film then that speaks volumes then that is also a form of criticism normally I always fight my way through but when I eat a burger that is half eaten and because it tastes so gross despite my hunger I myself to decide not to continue eating it is also a form of criticism that the fish ordered and the meat given has a reason to complain.
I didn't like the things I saw in this film, I found the idea very interesting, I never read the book so I don't know how well it was adapted and how much was changed, but that's not the point I'm just concentrating on the film and this film have so many connection errors, continuity errors and generally so many things that were not thought through or only half thought through that I could hardly have fun and that just annoyed me.
But I think this film makes the worst the absolutely worst thing your medium can do and that is the reason why I give this rating this film is boring every time I turned it on my ass cheeks fell asleep and I honestly said I kept asking me why do I keep watching that I almost didn't feel like watching any more and kept doing something different because you have a film about the Greek mythology that takes place in the modern city and you are not interested in it for 5 minutes wake up that is by far the worst thing a film can do and that's why I give it the lowest rating, that's the first film of a life that has not offended me on all levels of humanity, because I still give it the lowest rating, I believe it gives a first time for everything.
Star Wars (1977)
Talking about Star Wars is a lot more fun than watching the movies
So my main problem is simply that I don't like Star Wars, I know that it's a super iconic film series that has triggered a lot and a milestone in cinema history that has made Didi film world and films itself a quantum leap forward but I have to at the end of the day still give a review and unfortunately I have to say that I just don't like Star Wars even though I was allowed to watch the films as a child, it never appealed to me and I couldn't quite understand why it was such a huge hype. I even go so far and say that if I hadn't been encouraged by over 1000 people that I would probably have only seen one star wars film voluntarily to date.
Of course, the weapon technology, the character design, and the costume design are so multifaceted and gigantic that it was not without reason that whole lexicons were filled with them, but I have to say that as a film it just doesn't really tell me it was not boring, but it's nothing what I would ever watch again voluntarily.
it's the archetype of the hero's journey along with a generic fantasy story just catapulted into space
Voll normaaal (1994)
In one sentence the film is rubbish
As far as I have heard, this is a German cult film, now if something like this is already considered a cult then I am in favor of us deleting our country. The west will be given to France, the east to Poland. Northern Germany will become the new Denmark.
Again and again I give myself a jerk and let myself go to Comedies 1 and after less than three minutes I regret it, as always this film was a very special disappointment because it is quite limp on a technical basis but the content actually gave me a headache.
I'm 17 years too old and 40 IQ points too intelligent for this stupid pee-kaka-puke humor.
The main character is an unsympathetic antisocial maniac and a criminal. He's also caused so much damage and destruction throughout the film that I really wonder why he doesn't end up in jail and why the family bothered with him in the first place.
The German philistine life that is this pastiche is too superficial and too boring to tell that it does not deserve the title film.
And once again you can see that the FSK had absolutely no idea what it was doing because this film is clearly too dirty and vulgar for people under twelve to watch it in itself. Whether you find Tom Gerhardt funny is an open question, but getting him in three copies and depending on the character you don't know whether you should laugh or cry angrily or shoot at the TV angrily is a question for another time. It is without a doubt a bad movie, thankfully not one of the worst movies of my life but definitely the protagonist is one of the worst characters of all time Who is Jar-Jar Bings on crack and speed at the same time, has a crazy Assi language for them would laugh at him himself, use so many euphemisms and compare that you could fill a whole dictionary with it and speak such a crazy Assi-German that even Erkan and Stefan tell him to go down a level. The unbearable thing about the film, however, is clearly its destructive streak, which is portrayed as personable and lovable in this film and apparently even resonates with the female gender. My suspension of disbelief has never been abused so harshly.
In addition, it is difficult for me to perceive a film as lust because so much goes to the dogs because at the end of the film 99% of the cast have a lot of damage both financially and physically and that is unjustified.
Sometimes I feel sorry for the actors, a few others should have known what they are committed to, but otherwise I wish the plague on many of them
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
A warm infusion from the first part, just in stupid + boring
Whereas the first film was still a real adventure film, this is just a cheap string of scenes, pictures, film sets and badly rimmed effects.
Before that, the video games and their clichés were put on the back burner, which was completely ignored in this part and I don't understand why.
Because there was enough in both film and video games (in the 90s) to criticize and to put in as a joke
One-dimensional characters, villains whit exaggerated plans, badly rimmed graphics, animals moving in circles instead of having a real AI. Or the stereotypes of foreigners.
But no puff cake, the whole film is so empty and not saying as if you had taken 20 steps back. Everyone in the film is super annoying and super unpleasant, so I kept shouting "shut up" every 3 minutes.
Everyone is telling the same jokes for almost an hour and a half, really, again and again.
And I can't decide until the end of the film who's going to poke me more Danny DeVito or The Rock. What is Grandpa Eddi because has he Alzheimer? Is he demented? Is he stupid? Do you just pretend? What is he?
At the end of the film they try to be really emotional and pseudo-philosophically too late.
Also in this film I had no impression that what was at stake nor that the characters were really in danger
but when Danny DeVito said growing old wasn't hell, I got the cold vomit.
Movies should finally stop lying. sometimes the glass is half full and sometimes half empty but you shouldn't lie about the liquid in it.
But what I think is the worst thing is that the film made nothing of its premise. A lot of bad second parts have that they restore the status quo from part 1 and tell the same story again here it would have actually made sense and I also find it interesting that Spencer voluntarily goes to video games to be back in paradise but then it became Idea didn't finish and that's the worst. The film is a knock knock joke without a punchline
The bottom line is still a competence because film and he uses some film tricks but nothing really irritated me objectively, I give the film 3 out of 10 points, subjectively I give it a middle finger.
