DaViD´82

No excuses, no messing around, only sensitively dosed pathos and no clichés. Through a cleverly constructed structure the movie doesn't beat about the bush, in other words it directly portrays the conflict of a man who while flying the aircraft without engines failure accomplished seemingly impossible and who is subsequently, under the pressure of others, begin to doubt whether by chance what he did, on the contrary, was not the worst possible solution and unnecessary bravery. Hanks proves again that he has no competition overseas when it comes to the box of "ordinary good guys next door". It hit the bull's-eye and is gripping at all times, during the freezingly calm and controlled crisis landing itself, in the moments of the beginning of panic and after it, during the intense questioning in front of the commission and during the self-searching wandering through frozen New York. Although it might seem like a Zemeckis' Flight at first glance, it is much closer to Greengrass’ United 93.

Finally, someone thought about the parents when creating this extended padding. So yes, it tends to target younger audience and in terms of quality and ambition it's miles away from the original film, but the creators obviously enjoyed it and felt sorry for the adults who have to watch it with their kids and that's how they conceived it in a real meta-crazy way on a (self) parody wave, where there is a reference in every scene (and mostly not bad at all). References range from Casablanca to Leone to other Disney movies. On the one hand, thanks to that, adults will also have fun, but at the same time in terms of the overall style it is quite obvious that the target group are pre-school children, on the other hand... I wish most of the x-th famous video rental movies were just like this one.

My son and the rest of the children in the movie theatre were screaming in excitement, while the adult audience did not have a hard time watching it, but just sit through it without any harm. In the opening fifteen minutes packed with gags, they even had a great time. But then the creators run out of ideas (and also effort) and switch to routine mode of a hundred times seen squeaking escapades with animal for the little ones, where the better moments are shamelessly stolen from other animated movies, namely from Toy Story to the full-length Sheep Shaun. The biggest stumbling block, however, is that in that excessive number of characters/advertisements for the plush toys only two characters have personalities (and therefore interesting), the rest of the characters have wasted potential (for example, the predator is basically the same character as Hank in Dory, but apart from his opening scene is only a makeweight).

As a space opera, it's more in the department of Mark Stone than "intended" Star Trek (only introductory ten minutes are in line with the latter one), the pace is furious as in the blockbuster movie and it's packed with action, but the action scenes are way too confusing, and so paradoxically the movie works best as a one-liner comedy, which is not taken seriously, not at all. And it helps a lot.

Do you know such beautifully shot promo clips for the "celebration of football across the world, regardless of social background", which are regularly produced by FIFA, Adidas or Nike during the big matches? So this is the same case, just in a form of a full-length movie with the "story". It is a pure fairy tale that only pretends to be based on Pelé story. Definitely don't expect anything that would reflect his real life story or his career. However, it's nice to watch, but you can't expect anything from it other than the roller-coaster-ride of fun, five minutes of piffle about nothing (I mean about responsibility, motivation, purposefulness, etc.) and five minutes of nice (however unrealistic) football moments and so on until the end.

It would like to be a comic book version of the Dirty Dozen, but it's more like the Devil's Brigade. I mean the unconcealed copy-cat of a more famous and better original, which is worse in everything (from motivations to action), worse but not so bad that it would force you to grab the remote and change the channel, even if you already know that you won't remember anything from this movie as soon as the final credential start. You will remember it only when you come across it in the TV program again. And that's exactly what the Suicide Squad is, characterization is one-dimensional at best (great cast did amazing job in saving the movie), there is no story line (and if there is one, it's full of lapses and illogicality), motivation and goals are barely implied, action is as intense as interchangeable and the style is so hectic as aerobatic flying. But it's not bad (especially thanks to the first half, pace and acting). Only incomplete in terms of that dirty antihero concept and, moreover, significantly shortened in a way that strikes even the layman. However, what is the worse part about it (apart from the poor final scene), is the existence of the animated movie Assault on Arkham, which did the same but much better with grace.

There is a horror line with an overlap, which drowns itself in annoying wannabe symbolic macabre scenes, until in the end it becomes unintentionally ridiculous (let's be a church zombie heroin an honorable exception) forcibly incorporated into a decent holiday indie romance with a very nice couple. Regardless this nice couple.

Decent and magnificent in terms of craftsmanship, albeit ridiculously naive and dull (the current commentary is late by a few years), an action techno thriller trying to remark The Bourne Ultimatum too faithfully (and above all unsuccessfully) to its own detriment. It's not a bad movie in any way (except for the script, Gilroy is noticeably missing), it's just an unworthy and useless Bourne movie.

Kameňák is one of the most famous, most fundamental and, after all, the best Batman stories. It is the pure essence of what Batman/Jokers is about. Like any good "joke", it's short, striking and damn impressive. And therefore completely unsuitable for full-length footage. Which the creators somewhat clumsily handled so that the introductory half is about something completely different, and no matter how hard the creators try to fit it to Kameňák itself, this effort has zero result. It is decent and not that bad, but completely useless padding which is too lengthy and nothing more. Scenes from the second half, which are taken one to one (including picture framing), work, but paradoxically this is also detrimental, as it is not so much an adaptation as an illustration of the original. But what stands out is the great voicover (Hamill confirms that he is still the best voiceover artist) and worse portrayed. It is therefore something between a cat and a dog, which does not give the original a good name (rather the opposite), but it is only and only thanks to the high quality of the script that it will stand up to the result.

In this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make. Despite a rather slow beginning when it's trying to find its place and humor in a too forced way, it gradually turns out to be (from the sixth episode of the first season the quality goes up, but that cult/qualitative status "must see" earned it only from its conclusion onwards), black horse (ha ha ha) among animated series aimed exclusively at adult objective viewer, who does not expect the creators to serve him the same episodes one after another, season after season. Although there is a huge amount of (quite specific, based on one-liners, slightly sidelined and thanks to its absurdity it’s certainly not for everyone) humor, the main role has the dramatic story line that ignores every one, even the characters and certainly the viewer too. It has a continuous plot and it is fully based on the development of all the characters. Satirical social reflection and the whole thing is connected by the daily survival of a burnt-out once-famous narcissistic horse (I’m not always the best at being not terrible.) With ugly middle-aged crisis, who is always ready to say something cynical, who is a nihilist to same extent, and tends to have depression, anxiety and alcoholism, self-destructive nature and unrelenting desperate inner desire for recognition/acceptance. And so well (and much better than, for example, Californication/Koalafirnication or Mad Men, to which the main character is closest), that we can say without exaggerating it is a regular (and above all successful) quality TV rather than comedy satiric monkey business (which I don't mean as an insult but rather as an appraisal) like Rick and Morty. Nothing else in the history of television combines such cleverly absurd (meta) humor with brutal ugly sincerity about the relationships of all of us. In addition, it is (also thanks to congenial voiceover) the most emotional series of today (perhaps only Leftovers can keep up). Yes, these emotions are mainly sad, full of unpleasant truths that no one wants to hear, unfulfilled dreams, unspoken sentences, depressed, intoxicated by alcohol, but always and at every moment truly authentic showing normal people lives. Yes, yours too. And it doesn't matter that these emotions are mediated through animated anthropomorphic animals.| S1: 4/5 | S2: 5/5 | S3: 5/5 | S4: 5/5 | S5: 4/5 | S6: 5/5 |
