IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8946378 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/knives-out-2019 An overhyped and awful Agatha Christie knock-off. Every actor in it (outside of Ana de Armas - playing Marta) is mediocre to awful. Daniel Craig, who isn’t usually a good actor, is playing with a fake accent in this, and even with that, he’s not the worst one. The movie looks like absolute shit, it’s SO GREY and SO GRAINY, but none of it is artistic… it’s just lazily added filters on top of the movie to make it appear “gritty”. ...

I remember being really fresh back then, it was like a cool kid action movie (similar to Kick-Ass in a lot of ways). It’s still good today, but it’s far less special. What still stands out, however, is the “feel”. It still feels different, it’s not as fresh since a lot of high-budget movies have tried to emulate its style (through James Gunn mainly), but it still feels different enough through the “Britishness” and classiness of it. ...

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/man-of-steel-2013 Impressively bad, in ways I wasn’t expecting The directing was passable (fascism aside - I’ll get back to that), but the story was meaningless, it was a big nothing, elements that don’t matter (or don’t make sense) after elements that don’t matter (or don’t make sense). The (idiotic) story (spoiler ahead) The story starts on Superman’s planet (Krypton), and basically the people mined the planet’s core so much that the planet will collapse. Zod wants the politicians to give the order to evacuate the planet (for obvious reasons), but the politicians refuse for reason (something about having to die on their planet..?) ...

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477834 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/aquaman-2018 There is nothing to say, because it was nothing. The story is bad and actually has a massive plot hole: when Aquaman finds his mom, she knows that Aquaman is fighting to save the world… except the mom had no way to know that since she’s been stuck in isolation for 20 years. The visual effects are bad (props to that AWFUL lighthouse green screen! I haven’t seen green screen this bad… outside of YouTube movies parodies). ...

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7126948 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/wonder-woman-1984-2020 A badly written and badly made great story. It’s a badly written and badly made [movie of a] great story. There’s a great film in there but it’s just broken. I’m genuinely struggling to write a critique that makes sense because the films makes no sense. It’s a film that’s completely missing what it’s trying to do, there is a great story buried in there, but the end result is just awful. ...
