Quick Reviews

I had no idea what to expect from this movie and it kept surprising me over and over. It’s already pretty long but I wish it kept going for a bit longer.

Watching this movie feels like a nightmare. Things happen and you really don’t have much say in it, then they start spiraling out of control and you’re completely unable to do anything. You can’t run, yell or fight.

The religious allegories are quite obvious and are great, but that nightmarish feeling was really something I hadn’t felt with a movie before.

Holy crap, now this is a good horror movie. A slow burn that really pays off. Its found footage structure makes perfect sense in the story and also reflects a lot on what you think and feel during the entire movie. It finds the perfect balance of explaining things enough to be satisfying but not enough to break the horror aspect (something that most movies just suck at).

Okay, first of all I think this is an amazing movie, it looks and sounds amazing, all the characters are extremely creative, it’s a beautiful coming-of-age story and it’s a major pop culture icon. But watching it felt like a bit of a chore, I can’t really explain why. Good thing the ratings here are about my enjoyment of the movies, not their “objective” quality 😅

Pretty solid body horror movie. Some real memorable scenes with really good acting, with a solid story that builds on top of the classic Cinderella. Can’t go wrong with this one!

A real punch in the gut and a must-watch. Not much more that can be said.

Fuck nazis.

Has some pretty amazing moments and is overall very good, but just like the first one, it overdoes the action scenes, with one after another. So it ends up feeling bloated. Not enough to make it a bad movie, far from it! I never understood why the Hobbit movies are so underrated.

The first time I watched this one back in 2013, I remember not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the first. But now, I think it’s much better.

I think it could be a bit goofier overall, but I pretty much enjoyed everything in this rewatch (except for the out-of-place romance). Smaug’s scenes are simply amazing, too.

Judge me, but I actually like The Hobbit movies. This is my first rewatch since it came out in 2012, and while this one has a few too many action scenes (which are fun, just get tiresome after 3 hours), it’s still a really good movie in an universe I love.

Sure, its quality never matches the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but to be honest I don’t think anything else ever will.

An overall decent movie until the Armenians come in. Then it gets amazing! For a drama film, the comedy is what steals the show.

Such a good movie! It touches on very sensitive topics in a very heartwarming way. It’s fun, serious and uplifting at the same time.

For a movie with pretty much no action, it is incredibly good at keeping you hooked. Everything is well made, and I loved the ending too!

Bonus points for being the first time I see my favorite dish on a movie 😋

Amazing drama with great acting by Brendan Fraser and some good thought-provoking messages. Got really emotional by the end.

Holy shit, what an incredible movie.

Tense, intense, beautiful, terrifying.

Whatever this movie had working on its favor on the first half is completely lost on the latter half. A lot of disjointed narratives that don’t seem to go anywhere.
