Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (2019)

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a cool and fun one-shot film that concludes the story of The Avengers and brings the evolution of Peter Parker in the world of Marvel to its logical conclusion. My wife and I do not regret that we went, it seems, it will be even more interesting further.

I especially liked the villain and his concept …

The Handmaid's Tale Review (2017-2021)

Offred was not always in red. Once upon a time. In another life. There was a daughter who was taken away. Loving husband. Friend… … once she even had a name. Does it matter which one? Now they found a new home for her and named her Offred. Of Fred Freedom and independence, work and personal money … … an incomprehensible luxury that seemed familiar before the war broke out and the weakened United States…

Chernobyl Review (2019)

An incredibly heavy five-part film that everyone needs, just NEEDS to watch - a detached view from the outside of our, alas, history, based almost entirely on dry facts and eyewitness memories, with fictional fiction only in some details, admitted for the sake of a better storytelling. This is not horror, not a thriller, or even a forensic drama or detective story. This is a portrait of an entire country and an entire era -…

Game of Thrones Review (2011-2019) - Khaleesi, how so ?!

The end of the eighth and final season is weak, even with a discount on all the good and beautiful dramatic moments in the previous episodes, concluding the story arcs of the important minor characters. The transformation of one of the main characters into an antihero, and the most vile villainess into a defenseless martyr, was cool. But everything else … the political, haha, final of the War for the Iron Throne (a very unexpected…

Star Wars: Battlefront II Review (2017)

A series of scattered episodes, almost unrelated to each other, led by a new heroine, a stormtrooper girl of the Empire, and her relationship with the members of the squad. Visually, everything looks very good, the story cutscenes are made almost like a movie, and in some episodes they allow such famous heroes of the saga as Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker himself to play, but there is no deep and…

Marvel's Avengers Endgame Review (2019)

Wow. This is more than just another fantastic action movie about heroes who have become a part of pop culture. A movie that is merciless to the viewer, running for three hours and stopping the heart several times. A meta-film that connects and completes all the previous films in the series, starting with "Iron Man". In places it is very heavy, sad and touching, in fact, it evokes a feeling of catharsis several times. At…

Maleficent Review (2014)

A retouching of the classic 1959 cartoon, The Sleeping Beauty, where almost everything was changed. A simple and elegant tale of a naive sleep-lover and a heroic knight on a white horse became a tragic dark fantasy about a horned sorceress with a kind soul, who became the ruler of darkness because of the betrayal and injury inflicted by the man she loved, for whom the Iron Throne (sorry, power ) turned out to be…

… is a collection of 18 animated short stories from top studios, including major game commercials, produced by online rental giant Netflix and directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club "). As I understand it, the idea of ​​creating the anthology was to bring together the works of the strongest animation artists and directors under one cover, united by the theme of passion, love, loneliness and despair, as well as futurism…

Now "Star Wars" - it is nine numbered films connected by common characters, two full-fledged offshoots and several series, including animation. It was recently announced that the main series of films will continue with three more…

Cute Dragons ("How To Train Your Dragon 3" Review , 2019)

Especially the new heroine, the little white lizardly thingy - looks like a bunny and a cat at the same time, moves smoothly, hums and purrs, makes reproachful eyes and spits hot plasma. It is not surprising that the "pet" of the protagonist, already battle-hardened boy Hiccup, curious Toothless, fell in love with her! Very nice couple, even if they are dragons. (I already want to draw them) The cartoon itself is also good, even…
