Tenet Movie Review
Watching this movie was
the best movie/cinema experience I have ever had and you should definitely go
and experience it too. In my opinion, if you loved other Nolan
movies like Inception, Interstellar, Memento and The Prestige you will
undoubtedly absolutely love Tenet too. Its one hell of a complicated film. The concept of inversion was worked out
perfectly, just like you're used to from Nolan.. Because of the concept of
inversion you'll set your eyes on things you have never seen before in any movie
or series. The more you watch it,
more hidden elements will come to light. And when you are able to put these
hidden elements together. You will realize that this movie is just a
"masterpiece" which takes the legacy of Christopher Nolan Forward
It had great acting, story, cinematography, music
and dialogue. That is also one of the many aspects that make Tenet a very
special movie and a real experience, and an experience you will definitely want
to experience again.
Robert Pattinson has really proved himself as a
very good actor in these recent years. And I am sure his acting skills will
increase with time. His performance is charming and very smooth. Whenever he is
on the camera, he steals the focus John David Washington is also fantastic in
this movie. His performance is electrifying, I hope to see more from him in the
future. Other characters such as Kenneth Branagh, Elizabeth, Himesh Patel,
Dimple Kapadia, Clémence Poésy have also done quite well. And I dont think there
is a need to talk about Michael Caine
Talking about Music, its awesome. I dont think you
will miss Hans Zimmer's score. Ludwig has done a sufficient job. There is no
lack of good score in the movie
Love the editing and post production which has
been put into this movie. I think its fair to say this Nolan film has focused
more in its post production.
Wonder Woman 1984 - Movie Review
Wonder Woman 1984
might have come out in 2020, but it felt like a movie of the 80s. The
production and the cinematography had a very 80s feel to it. This was by far
the best performance that Gal Gadot has ever given. there was a large chunk of
the film, probably an hour or so, in which Gadot was portraying Diana alone,
and not Wonder Woman. She was absolutely fantastic as Wonder Woman, and Chris
Pine was somethings that audiance ended up really appreciating. Pedro Pascal as
Maxwell Lord and Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva were also terrific. DC has the
kind of villains for whom we would cry. the other side of Diana: her constant
pursuit of love, truth and conciliation; her belief that humanity has achieved
great, formidable things and that, in the end, human beings can UNDERSTAND AND
FORGIVE each other and rise above selfish motivations. is the feminist icon we
need. Strong, compassionate, truthful, badass, sensitive, sensual. And one of
the best parts about WW movies is exactly this: the development of Diana as a
character with these traits is not done at the expense of weakening and
demonising male main characters. Steve Trevor is her equal except in super
powers and she LOVES him because he is so courageous and heroic. I also really
loved a scene where Diana and Steve were in a plane, the cinematography and
musical score were beautiful.
The story centred around greed, and how having
too much power can corrupt even the most innocent of people. That was such a
profound message, and Patty Jenkins directed the narrative in a completely
engrossing way.
At one point there was a choice that Diana had
to make in regards to not letting greed overcome her and making a sacrifice in
order to retain her humanity.
The action sequences are really awesome!! while,
sentimental sequences in the movie that will make you cry.
This movie does a upside down turn in relation
to the previous one. It is done deliberately - after the massive success of
WW1, trying to repeat the same formula would have failed. By creating a
complete different approach, WW1984 works perfectly and is a great sequel to
the brilliant first movie!
