Beowulf

Beowulf

"Remember that scene from Lord of the Rings where Legolas fights that elephant ? Now picture that scene being two hours long and Legolas fighting naked, and you'll get an idea of what 'Beowulf' is like. This is one of the most ridiculously over-the-top movies I've ever seen. I loved it ! " [More]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Bloody hell

"I love Tim Burton, but I've been waiting since 1999's Sleepy Hollow for the guy to make another really great film. Unfortunately, Sweeney Todd is not that film. Far from it actually. The problem isn't so much Burton's direction, but the Stephen Sondheim musical the film was based on. The songs are generally toe-curlingly bad and they make up about 90% of the movie. The film looks spectacular and Johnny Depp is great in the leading role, but the songs really ruined this one for me. " [More]

"Cute and well animated, with a very mediocre story but fortunately also a lot of witty dialogue that will have Seinfeld fans wet themselves. And most importantly : not reliant on the pop-culture referencing humor that made me resent Shark Tale and the Shrek movies. Overall a very enjoyable animated flick. " [More]

Hot Rod

Moronically funny

"What a surprisingly funny movie ! Hot Rod is somewhat reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite or those Will Ferrell sports comedies, in that it also features a lead character who is ridiculously determined and confident in spite of his own inadequacies, but this film cracked me up way more. Exceeded all my expectations. See this one ! " [More]

"I don't know if it's the desert locations or the kooky characters, but Diamonds Are Forever feels like James Bond directed by Russ Meyer. Lucky for me I like Russ Meyer movies. This is certainly not one of the strongest entries in the Bond-series, mostly because of the uninspired action sequences and a plot that doesn't particularly go anywhere. On the other hand the film has some redeeming ingredients, such as a very hot Bond-girl (Jill St. John) and perhaps the best sidekick villains in the series: Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint. " [More]

The Darjeeling Limited

Very lovable comedy

"By now I suppose everyone has already figured out for themselves whether or not they like Wes Anderson's quirky disfunctional family comedies. If you don't like Anderson's films, The Darjeeling Limited probably won't convince you otherwise. If you are a fan of his previous work, you're in for a real treat, because The Darjeeling Limited is one of Anderson's best films. " [More]

The World Is Not Enough

Not nearly enough

"This is just a downright boring movie. Featuring the absolute worst Bond-girl in Bond-history (Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones), a lousy villain (Robert Carlyle as Renard) and a silly plot I doubt anyone can reconstruct, the film has little to offer other than a few relatively entertaining action scenes. Ranks with Moonraker and Die Another Day as the worst in the series. " [More]

Rendition

Effective political thriller
By Mully in Mully Blog
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. [What do you think?]
"This very decent political thriller deals with the process of 'extraordinary rendition', the transfer by the CIA of suspected terrorists to prisons abroad so that they can be held and tortured without trial or legal representation. Much like films such as Crash, Syriana or Babel, this subject matter is approached through different intertwining storylines. The film is most effective in conveying its message and some scenes are quite confrontational and shocking. The all-star cast is quite good, but not all that well-used as some characters end up getting an awfully small amount of screen-time. Rendition is not the kind of movie I'm planning on giving a second viewing, but a recommendation nonetheless. " [More]

Goldfinger

Ultimate Bond

"What's left to say about Goldfinger. Without a doubt it's the best of the Connery-films and a strong contender for best Bond-film of all time. All the ingredients are there and they all work. There's a Bond-girl named Pussy Galore (I love how Connery pronounces it "Poohsy"), a great villain with a cool evil scheme, a classic opening title track, Connery wearing that fabulous grey suit and much more. Quite simply a brilliant film, entertaining from start to finish. " [More]

"Ugh. What a crappy movie. Even for an action flick this script was bleeding awful, with some of the worst dialogue I've heard in a long time. If you're a fan of the Hitman videogame you'll probably get some kicks out the few elements that are taken from the game, but most of all I was insulted by what a God-awful adaptation this was of my favorite videogame series. Here's a game that has oodles of style and requires the player to be sneaky and cunning, but the movie replaces this with uber-violence. Avoid this one. " [More]
