Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

Deadpool & Wolverine (AKA Cameo: The Movie) - 6/10:
Felt more like a buddy-cop movie with a super hero skin and Bollywood sprinkles on top. The humour (and fourth wall breaking) felt a bit forced at times compared to the previous 2 movies. Cassandra Nova felt like a generic villain. Paradox on the other hand left a more lasting impression (also, of all the movies I've seen, I think he has the second-best f-bomb).
+ points for Hugh Jackman (and his greasy tits)
- points for no Dopinder (you're my Tom Cruise! XD)
+ I've got a soft spot for Goo Goo Dolls so bonus points for Iris

Spiderman: Across the Spider Verse - 9.5/10:
Amazing artwork (I especially liked Gwen's universes' art style), great villain(s), and killer soundtrack (Pemberton and Metro Boomin deserve every bit of praise they received). you can tell that an insane amount of work went into it. I've seen very few movies that do a decent job of depicting the emotional shit-show of being a teenager (despite what everyone says, it is not always the best time of a kids' life). Easily wins a place in my top ten greatest of all time.
+ points for proper character development of Spot, going from a joke to full-on beast mode.
+ while the action was great, I actually enjoyed the slower paced parts of the movie: Miles and Gwen sharing a quiet moment at the top of a building was actually my favourite scene in the whole movie.
- ends on a cliffhanger (a great cliffhanger, but a cliffhanger nonetheless)
 
Satya (1998) - 9/10
What a brilliantly made movie. JD Chakravarthi and Manoj Bajpayee's riveting performance coupled with masterful direction and story progression made this a riveting watch.

I had missed watching a lot many 90's movies owning to studies and work. Now in my 40's I can finally catch up on these wonderful gems.

Just curious, Are you on a movie marathon or something?
 
Level Cross (2024) (Malayalam) - 7/10

A good slow burning pyscho thriller. Excellent location, cinematography, BGM. Good performance by two protagonists.

A very good watch in spite of few short comings.
 
The shadow strays: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt28349451/?ref_=tturv_ov
This Indonesian movie is action packed and full of gore. I'm not sure how many heads were chopped and blood splutters like fountain all over. The action choreography was top notch. The ending of the movie was not too good and could have been better. If you like blood and gore this is the movie to watch. Also this movie definitely beats the recently released Hindi movie Kill in violence and gore.
 
Do Patti (Hindi, 2024) - 5/10

This is an oddball of a movie. Starts like a thriller but the surprise twist towards the end ends up being a little underwhelming and a little implausible but then the writer also wanted to pool in a heavy social message so that is there as well. Kriti shines in her role (she does look smexy!) but Kajol's performance mainly suffers due to the poor dialogues and hammy script with regards to her character, specially towards the end.
 
Joker Folie a Deux : 4/10 - How did Todd Philips go from The Hangover to this ? And come to think of it, I was considering watching it in the hall .. sigh.
Transformers One : 6/10 - Now this one, I can get behind. A well told origin story, the usual cliches are there but the animation and visuals are top notch. Along with the first Transformers (had great fun watching it in the hall) and Bumblebee (decent attempt by Travis Knight), this one stands head and shoulders above the rest of the franchise.

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) ⭐ 7.3 | Action, Crime, Drama

Underrated movie from the 80s. Willem Dafoe is great here as an accomplished artist during the day and equally capable currency counterfeiter and gangster at night.

The secret service is tasked with protecting the president. They also have to protect the currency.

Wang Chungs soundtrack keeps it moving and they have exceeded miami vice that might have offered some inspiration.
