My favorite movie of the decade. For my, everything fits in "Blade Runner 2049". The soundtrack, the acting, the story. I really don't know anything to complain about. I definitely have to see it again.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Although I have seen this movie before and therefore knew the genius solution of the case, I had fun watching this movie. The set pieces are beautiful, the characters are interesting, the dialogues are well written, and the costumes look almost perfect. But I have to mention, that I due to the fact of how complex the story is, sometimes forgot which name belonged to which character and which relation they had with other characters.

Round about four years after I had read the book and almost forgot everything about it I saw the movie. Since a lot of time has passed, I won't judge how near the movie is to the book. The music in this movie most time seems very imposed and I also don't quite like the idea with the different fractions. The main character is pretty okay, also if there would have been better cast options, but that is the case for all characters, because none of them is played well. The world and the costumes look pretty cool, although they are a little bit over the line sometimes. The biggest problem isn't, as i thought in the beginning, the action, which is bad, but the character development and the dialogues are even worse. Almost all characters are two-dimensional, exchangeable and not interesting at all. And the dialogues mostly seem pretty flat and unnatural. If you are interested in the story, I would recommend to read the book, rather than watching this. Because everything I remember from the book is way better than the movie.

Drive takes it's time without ever getting boring. I like that, because most action movies nowadays are pretty fast and some even rushed. Therefore, you don't have the time, like in "Drive", to enjoy how beautiful the movie and its soundtrack are. But I don't see "Drive" as a pure action movie, more like one of the most beautiful and extraordinary but also one of the most brutal love-dramas I have ever seen. The action is, as I said, pretty brutal and bloody, but never censored or cutted unnecessarily, therefore it seems very realistic. Apart from Ryan Gosling, who is perfect in this movie, all actors do more than a solid job. So, if you don't have a problem with blood and violence and you want to see an outstanding action-love-drama, "Drive" is the right choice for you.

I admit, I was pretty skeptic at first, due to the fact, that the movie starts pretty hectic and the constant drum-music doesn't seem to fit that well. This changes with the movie progressing. I also thought, that the story, which ended pretty interesting, would be boring. Michael Keaton and Edward Norton are both doing a very good job. The movie manages to make me smile or laugh at some and shake my head at other points. All together i did like the movie despite or maybe especially because of the fact, that a lot of questions remain unanswered.

A year passed since I have seen "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the cinema. And now the same movie, but more colorful? Not exactly. Sure, there are some similarities between those two stories, but this is more because both characters have similarities and not because of the fact, that "Rocketman" is just all copied. It does try some new thinks of which I most liked the musical interferences. "Rocketman" to me is independent enough to be good and it is, too which Taron Egerton pays a lot of tribute with his wonderful acting, he had obviously fun with.

Marvel is normally good at special effects and they make sure you will notice, due to the amount of it they are packing in their movies, that isn't a problem though. Carol Danvers is casted well and the action is also pretty fun, but also seems a little bit too hectic sometimes. The plot twist isn't surprising at all and the flash backs are also more annoying than informative. I didn't like the humor in this movie at all. The nearly forced jokes made me laugh pretty rarely and also the emotional moment didn't quite always catch me as they should. But don't get me wrong Captain Marvel as a movie isn't a complete failure, but I know Marvel can do better.

What did I just see? This is so bad on every level. **** in sky is actually a pretty okay setting, but the story they told with it is just hilarious. Additionally the movie seems very stretched and boring at the beginning of the third act and thew final fight is not that good too.

Overall the same movie as "Non-Stop", but in a train and not a plane. Liam Neeson is playing the same boring character as always, but, as always, the action is good.

The first one was a pretty great Disney movie. But I didn't like the story of this one, although they hit on some nice topics. And the movie looks overall pretty good.
