Sherlock Holmes review : Sherlock Holmes and his adventures)

From this kind of movies you expect only one thing that the film will be a failure and does not satisfy the requests of the public. Complete unknown before the premiere of the plot, the characters and overall atmosphere, only pretentious trailers and humor, which usually does not attribute the hero books about Sherlock Holmes. Warmed the soul is only one, the selection of the actors themselves in these roles and Guy Ritchie himself. But knowing a little Guy Ritchie's filmography, one can say what it will turn out for the film when a director takes some criminal on the part of the film's plot filled with subtle British humor. On the one hand everything is in order, the maestro chose that subject for a film adaptation, but leaves the question whether it can also convey the style and nuances inherent in the book. I think the review was worth to begin with, I love surprises on the part of the movie, when quite expected to see, and you see a lot more than you expect) This is what happened when viewing the picture itself.

Until recently, could not figure out about that movie would be. What is the history of use for the movies. But as soon as I saw the first shots, then immediately realized that we should not think, you just need to look at. The plot is completely new, written by the scriptwriters. Of course not immediately say that the book was not like this. But once you want to add that this is a big disadvantage of the book, would love to read it about these characters, which showed in the movie. Tell all does not make sense of this can be lost all interest in the film. Those who are familiar with the films of Guy Ritchie, will understand me. I can say that it's very cool that it's just that work which deserves the praise and awards. All submitted so that the eyes do not tear off and not tell anyone either. Excellent prescribed characters and not less than perfectly played. The plot will continue to tickle your nerves and part of the brain responsible for perception of the intellectual content. The film is written and everything is explained at a level that you begin slowly to believe in what is happening on the screen. In the best tradition of adventure – historical films. But in the end, all waiting for a big surprise in the form of perfectly wrapped the film roll. And do not forget that all this is filled with a great sense of humor, without which the film would have been not so.

Acting in the movie sharpened to perfection, given to every emotion, defeating every glance, the dialogues are carried out really characters in the movie, not the actors. Each brings to the role, something of their own. Robert Downey Jr.. strikes throughout the film and did not cease to be surprised by all the new tricks of his character. Jude Law is brilliant, just be what has to be Watson. As always Mark Strong at the altitude and transmits all without hesitation. Rachel McAdams an excellent complement to the male part of the movie and is not inferior to the game, and sometimes even catches all the attention on her.

On the part of the movie itself, I can only say that all the films of Guy Ritchie, visually simply unbeatable. At the expense of proper installation does not need to worry, as well as for the atmosphere itself on the screen. Gloomy tone of the century London, perfectly recreated skillfully use the computer and picked up visual style. Elaborately virtually all fault does not make sense. Great scenery of which are worth mentioning separately. The dynamics of the film is so cheerful, and passions is held at the modern blockbuster.

Great film, without any claims to his address. The only thing that comes to mind after viewing: "I want to see the sequel!" To whom the film would be a hint) In general, rendered mandatory. And if you're an ardent fan of the series of books about Holmes, do not worry that destroyed your favorite stereotypes, you have to go and see how they perfectly complemented) I think this is a new breakthrough Guy Ritchie, who will be award winning.

Iron Man 2 review

As it turned out, even a very charming scoundrels (the ones that like Tony Stark) can not eke out a comfortable existence for ever with the luggage of universal love, popularity and billions of dollars. After the Afghan invasion in the lives of the powerful (Robert Downey Jr..) Passed some two years, and against him is already preparing for a truly large-scale conspiracy. In "Iron Man – 2" on Tony Stark's problems fell from all sides at once: the government is quite logical zacheshutsya hands nationalize the most difficult of his suit of clothes, a notary Stark Int. knock herself Natalie Rashman (aka Natasha Romanoff and Scarlett Johansson), while the Russian shabby shop "Products" talented inventor and also a well-worn con Ivan Vanco (Mickey Rourke) has already bought a fake passport.

Unshakable handsome and clever bastard and adventurer Tony Stark, after the manner of his luxuriate much more sophisticated than in the time it would make Uncle Scrooge from "DuckTales." Seductive bikini, cool sports cars, the best stuff and going ahead gadgets – all this is still nominally puts the image of a compelling multi-billionaire. Only if the first film, Tony surprisingly brisk and frisky without heighten the dramatic way through the difficulties, the second person known to us priosunulos and the like as a thoughtful look.

The penalty for that Tony was not very talkative, confessing their sins and did not utter words of gratitude for the bread and passing day before bedtime? Rather no than yes, at one time not very caring father Howard Stark (so deftly vyuzhenny MadMen of age in the era of the dawn "Stark Int. John Slattery) offended a colleague from the USSR Anton Vanco and prompted authorities in the most effective method of dealing with a dangerous source of information . And in Russia, and we all know perfectly well people are hungry and angry, climb on walls and fear as a hate cute overseas moneybags. That apart from war and robbery had to wait from Ivan Vanco, brought up on vodka and such principles of justice? Indeed, to call this guy good with his fists language does not turn even the most envious Ironjaw ulcerated mouth.

Hence golotorsy Russian engineer, changed his shirt in the box and glorious name university physicist Ivan Antonovich on laser whips, fake passport and jail, let the last tango with the U.S. national tranquility and peace of mind of our hero. Enlisting the support of Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), is clearly losing the battle, Tony Lord of War for the perfect balance of black and white, tan and unnecessary mush, Ivan Vanco with assistant parrot headed for victory. One need only look at the iconic scene with donuts – oh my, how fervently breathed the triumph of justice dirty bitter smell of vodka in a lovely head of Tony Stark.

Perhaps all the small final catastrophe "Iron Man – 2" could have been politely to keep quiet: Tony Stark would have poured further misunderstandings their life and soul of the crack whiskey on the rocks, and Ivan Vanco drowned little white yes Gorenkov, klepaya iron men. But catalysis Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) with a combination of black and techniques spetsformy obhvatyvayusche-obnimatelnogo kung fu was so strong that it is not possible to stall the movie on the overall depressed note and brought Tony Stark to take responsibility boundary.

Great responsibility, as we know, for a genius Tony Stark industry does not matter exactly as much as minions of fortune unfamiliar word "responsibility." But for some reason in the world where human security is guaranteed a trademark of a single weapons corporations suffer truly happened only at the very Tony Stark. Intoxication metals liters drinking whiskey with kilograms of ice, and perhaps even a sharp contrast between satiety and squalor last refuge of genius Russian engineer – something wring out of this iron will iron man and will make a new film about him in the story of growing up and understanding of length 2 hours.

Less action, flying over land and women's collection, more moralistic, strict suits and stability of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) – is probably the logical way station for electric Stark. Stopped, charged, have a snack and go! In the end, Jon Favreau has to squeeze the very cute and intelligent summer blockbuster about one of the most charming rogue in the world, as he once did. Without a derogation and remarks, we are now more than anyone else know that the soul inhabits a removable heart block.

I Am Number Four review : Cine fiction.

I never cease to surprise me unpretentious modern audience, I would always hit this flight for "beautiful wrappers.

"I am – the fourth – is full of movie theaters, tons sold popcorn and multimillion-dollar fees in the first weekend. The product is designed for entertainment, for the notorious "relaxation", which supposedly do not have enough people. And if this beautiful wrapper, in fact, as it seems from afar?

The plot of this film is difficult as some describe. He is absolutely childish, and resembles the script to some cartoons such as Winx. History of aliens hiding on Earth from the evil invaders of their home planet, not only touches the soul, but occasionally breaks through to the unrestrained laughter. Who are these young people do with aliens, and why they are endowed with super-abilities, while their own "guards" quite ordinary people? Why these guys are numbered and kill them in strict arithmetical order, and not then when will? Answers is a script for the movie is not even sane prehistory. An awful lot of inconsistencies, we first claim that all the teenagers scattered and newcomers are not aware of them where he was, and then suddenly the main character says: "Yes, number three in general from the house during the day did not come out." Well, the audience will still miss the little things go in one ear, because everyone is waiting for action. And our hero is a stranger came pohlesche Superman, not having to get their secret abilities, immediately applies them, as if this is not a big deal. But the funny thing in this movie – the villains. Sinister so tasteless I have not seen a long time. Outwardly, they represent a kind of cross between orcs and vampires, and behave like lunatics. They are pretending (pretending it is otherwise like antics mimics the invaders did not call it that) making faces, laughing like idiots, frightened children on the roads (a worthy occupation for a universal evil, is not it?). Again, there is a focus on teenagers and children to read, although I would not want our children educated in such trash. The main characters, by the way, much better than those unfinished Nosferatu. Especially "cool" looks "Number 6" over the execution of Teresa Palmer. Sorry, no such category as "the most pretentious part of the year", she would be out of competition. That there is only her catwalk from the exploding house, underline, wagging her hips and stern expression on his face. When the heroes come face to frame close-ups, then do you wonder – they are actors, or those guys from the street took up?

Love story (so far without it) is naive, and as if borrowed from the series on schoolchildren. Well, judge for yourself: a brand new doll, a botanist, boys bully … banal stereotypes and crawl on the screen straight into the cinema hall, causing the person is not an adequate spiritual impulses. Trying to make sense of the hero and the good is laudable, but the whole romance drowned in an expensive and badly stamped action. The film, in principle, there is a certain dynamics, but if you compare it with the same "Avatar", I immediately felt the difference. One happy that the creators have ignored fashion and did not make a film in 3D, because there is nothing in it to reveal a three-dimensional image. The only scene that really catches the eye – the battle chimeras (morph guarding the main character) and an evil monster invaders.

Look for logic in this movie is not worth it, as not worth trying to understand why the lost warrior ancestors guys, then they have to save the earth vdevyaterom. And out on the trail of aliens ufologist simple and super villains motivated by looking for them for many years without success. Such amount of illogic, wherewith stuffed to the eyeballs, this film can not be found even in the saga of "Twilight." Primitive jokes is complete, for example, a friend of the hero kills (from an alien weapon, which holds the first time) the villain, followed by a meaningful pause, followed by the cue: "Yes, I also have Xbox". Somehow I thought that jokes like that were far in the Hollywood past, somewhere in the times of Conon, but no. Well, the ending to top it all is striking in its absurdity, and would like to publicly say anything that you think about "those people".

Conclusion: A "I – The fourth" still collects a full house, saves praise on Internet resources, praised the youth. And nobody cared to stupid dialogues, the primitive and undisclosed plot, the absence of at least some social implications. After all, today in favor action, action, fights and heroes.

PS. The film is based on the book that alludes to the popularity among the people is not only a bad movie, but bad literature.

The Mechanic review : Movie Weekend

Actually, I was going to "Burlesque," but, alas, that day the hall where the film shows how, for some reason did not work. And that trip was not in vain, went on to the next session – "The Mechanic".

The film with the new "Bruce Willis" – Jason Statham – was surprisingly interesting. Yes, it was not unobtrusive humor that is often present in the paintings with a senior companion. "Mechanic" has been very serious. It was not at all philosophical and depressive severity "Americans" with George Clooney, but it was the seriousness of the harsh and brutal, as the protagonist. Maybe think about while watching it was not about anything, but because this movie is intended to entertain. And the task he coped well.

An interesting thing I noticed. Although the "Mechanic" – a film about a serial killer extreme cruelty in it. Yes, there are shootings and murders (where do without them), but the main attention is paid not to them, and how deftly the hero carries. He seemed to an observer in any adventure that does not move the chips, but quietly removes them from the table. Highly professional tool, nothing more.

Speaking about the images, the main character and remains throughout the film is just a "machine" for the killings. We do not see that he really was for someone tied or truly something regretted. He is a loner, and it is completely satisfied. Even at the moment is quite difficult conversation in the car with the student specific changes in behavior, mood hero no. So that the character was a rather artificial, though clever, which can arrange for him audience. The only feeling that exhibits this character – pride, wounded at some point, which implies a sequence of events the movie for you. However, I think, just this – an iron and indifferent – this character and thought.

Contrast to him is his pupil, Steve. In it we see all those experiences of which have no main character. Steve more alive, because admitting mistakes, because I feel, but not indifferent.

As such, there is no interaction between the characters: there is a game that is purely technical. As if the game on any console, which you can play alone and together. That is, although got a second hero, but at first he was not affected. Previously, Bishop was on the playing field alone, he now works with the student, but, in general, not changed anything. In this case, the teacher in student per capita did not invest, he took it, as a puppy, then to leave with no regrets and move on.

So the film got a history of solitary confinement, which one is always, even if there is someone. He does not suffer because of this situation. What do the film turned out, once the emphasis is not on the relationship? On the virtuoso, a purely mechanical implementation of the plans, which can ruin only the intervention of the living.

The name itself ironic not only because of the nature and actions of the protagonist, but also because of his hobby with the car, which, naturally, would play its role. Engineer: he had a long and methodically something debug, customize, but then everything works well.

Interestingly, in so prosaic picture there are some very beautiful views of staff. Yes, they are little, but it is so unexpected advantage that it should be noted. Like your favorite songs, Bishop, who plays with the plate. Strange and lulling quiet of this music … Whether it is in harmony with the mechanical hero? No, she's alive. Contrasts it? No, she is equally at ease. It simply exists in parallel. As a symbol of peace and tranquility.

So what we have: a good and exciting movie, where everything is based only on the action, rather than heroes, and their characters. The film is quite well filmed, the soundtrack also sounds good, so good that I even noticed him. Watch interesting and not disgusting, for excessive brutality either. A perfectly acceptable movie for the weekend.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest review

Film is simply wonderful!

Someone else wrote, just boring. No need to vdumavytsya in the deep meaning of this film, you can simply enjoy the fine performances by Depp, beautiful scenery and excellent photography. The film met all my expectations. I also liked the fact that in the second part more humor, Jack seems more interesting. Well, who wrote about Bloom that he was very pale, I thought so too. While on the other side next to Johnny all seem faded.

The only thing that disappointed, because this is the moment when Cyrus fell upon Jack with a kiss. Absolutely not the fragment, and spoils the impression about her and him.

And still 10!

Salt review : "Bad movies about bad Russian"

So was born the next fighter with a primitive story and starring Angelina Jolie with a beautiful woman, whose cost would have to change the repertoire and stop acting in action movies, in my opinion it is outdated in this genre of film.

Separately, in the film, parallel story can raise the issue of availability of stories about Russia. Once again we are treated as nothing more than to the Americans fear that a handful of Russian spies begin to implement "the ideas of the Russian government, depriving the U.S. global dominance, but rather the complete elimination, with the obligatory use of nuclear weapons. For the reliability of what is happening on the screen, you need to add, so to speak, a Russian flavor: a braid of blond hair, dolls, vodka, which he drank from the cup, pioneers and fur apparel Angelina, lacked only hand the brown bear … it looks pretty funny, and already very tired.

The idea of ​​Salt is so jaded that in principle, no matter what the movie itself. The events are predictable, the set of stamps and unique than is possible here to enjoy this game Jolie, but then she podkachala. Throughout the film Angelina did not flinch not one muscle on his face (probably a harsh Soviet upbringing) and, generally, I saw only a complete lack of emotion, and what that arrogant expression on his face …

In general, summing up, I can say that I do not have any impression of this movie, I forget it right away how to complete this review, pre-paint it red. And dear Americans … may be enough to make films about Russian criminals?

(I hope the second part will not)

Beauty and the Beast review

One of the best Disney cartoon. Very good, touching, beautiful, there is no different bawdry and vulgarity that is so and goes into every new cartoon. Its a pleasure watching both children and adults, and most importantly – he does not get boring! Its all the same love, and everyone looked happy.

More to such!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides review : Nostalgia

I never write reviews, but then decided. After all, it concerns one of the most beloved films, which in my personal film library zasmotren "to the holes." I do not know what magic Verbinski, but his films, despite the abundance of blunders and inconsistencies, look in the same breath. And continued.

I was not expecting much from the Pirates of the four general and of Marshall in particular, why was the movie more of a curiosity. The first thing that caught my eye, absolutely messy and tedious start when you do not know why this character here, and why that. Certainly good powdered Barbossa, but that's old Jack. Impression that Johnny Depp was dead tired from all this multi-year project, and may his character just completed a course of treatment in a psychiatric hospital? In any case, no more, the wacky Captain Jack Sparrow, which is slightly disappointing.

Angelica. I do not think that the film would lose much if her character is simply not there.

Captain Blackbeard looks like a Karabas Barabas, who fiercely goggles on the team, wanting to instill fear, but somehow it becomes scary, and funny.

The Mermaid and the preacher is another story. I understand that this is a kind of alternative to Elizabeth and Will are both from different worlds. But here is whether the worlds were too different, or whether the actors simply do not have coped, but I do not believe for a second any of its sanctity and feelings, nor in her ability to empathize.

Actually, this whole story with voodoo dolls, zombies, ship rigging, obey a wave of his sword, chases, ships in bottles, the Spaniards, mermaids and other things like a fruit compote, which is missing one ingredient. And now everything seems to be tasty, but not raisins. No stress, expectations, and what is there now? None of the Black Pearl, with its unique team, no adventures, on which my head would go spinning, there is no aesthetic satisfaction, which is present when watching those good old films Gore Verbinski. By cons include the fact that throughout the film had to strain your eyes, because the action takes place in total darkness: if a film's budget is not enough for a normal set, then it-the desire to give a film directed by unnecessary secrecy.

After watching the people coming out of the room in a light stupor, apparently not fully understanding what it was. Of course, someone was really interesting and fun is the children who asked their parents in the course of the film leading questions like, "where a mermaid's tail had happened?-Or-a as the ship hit a rock?-In my opinion, the film is clearly inferior trilogy in terms of plot, direction and acting, despite my love for Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush.

Inception review : Brilliant cinema on the brink of two realities, the idea of ​​which came when he was sleeping …

As promised we Nolan, his film and the truth is unique. He pushed the boundaries of reality and tried to explore what is out there, the ocean of reality. And there, on the wonderful world of truth, which is also real as reality itself, but it's different, filled with other rules, which are capable of change, only a few …

Cobb and Mal, or the history of relations on the verge of utopia …

First of all, in front of us love story, the strongest catalyst, stretched a red line around the skeleton of "Home." Yes, an unusual love story, but unless they are normal? No, any love story, filled with its subtleties, drama, ups and downs. Love the main characters flew fifty years, but they were at a peak, in a moment of beginning to lose speed rapidly and fall back, cause all the ideal reality, the main trap, which hit movie characters. Relations, grown in an artificial world, as fragile as the delicate glass curves of rock crystal, but how beautiful … transfusion in the rising sun … shine under the moonlight … it can drive one crazy.

Simply a masterpiece

Swoon, keyword phrase, simply fatal, that it draws a line under their ideal relationship, he first brought it to mind, hoisted the idea, but then she had her act. But there are still children, they continued, but the path to them is thorny, and Cobb decides to take a dangerous business goal, which his children. At this point, Nolan and begins to build up the skeleton of a real love story layered detective thriller, fascinating to the last which has stood hairs on the body can not break away, a look riveted and wants only one thing that film does not end there …

The idea, most importantly, the rest is not important

I do not know whether the full-fledged bid for an Oscar (for me so, yes, but the chairs are always a dissenting opinion), but the Golden Globe Awards, the film is certainly not inevitable. Despite the huge budget, the status of the summer blockbuster, this film is absolutely not for popcorn and cans of cola, it's highly intelligent puzzle, containing a much greater level than it might seem at first glance, the big budgets em here not for the dumb delight the audience, but a means by which the film takes the magnitude of translating great ideas. Yes, everything in the film: the actors, special effects for the sake of ideas. The idea of ​​a Nolan – persona non-grant, and how well that she was not abducted from his mind while he slept …

Season of the Witch review : "Season of the Witch"

Only yesterday it was in the cinema. Before watching a very long time doubted, since reviews have been controversial. Someone liked it, some do not. Nevertheless, there was nothing, and I dare.

I must say that I've waited for far more unsuccessful movie, and went to the session, fingers crossed.

Nicolas Cage, in which I was disappointed because of such films as "Kick" or "Apprentice Magician", perhaps, and does not show here acting genius, but at least it looks very decent. Really liked Claire Foy, the witch she played great. Smiles, glances, facial expressions – all in time, all as they should. Somehow it seems right that the girl slandered. Which witch? Baby!

Several unpleasant showed pictures of a plague-infected. (Cardinal, monks, etc.). Not aesthetically pleasing. Unpleasant. Although, perhaps, any horror fans will like, and these frames are not so much. It sounds childish, but I'm not looking at this moment on screen.

Now, what about the atmosphere and special effects. Here everything is done perfectly. Beautiful scenery, and colorful species. There are scary, there are exciting moments. My fear was banished sitting next to a man who commented on everything that happens: "Well, now someone will eat …" "Damn. Not eaten." One immediately became funny.

Excellent eyeballs rather spoils oiled finish. Once innocent. Well do not win so devil. He primarily in people's souls, but here it seems that it doused with holy water and all, save the world. Fraction of the absurd is all this. And personally I do not understand why in the trailer immediately disclose the storyline? The first half hour I was thinking: a witch, not a witch? But later recalled the trailer, and think in terms of plot, it was about.

So: No matter what, the movie for me was very fast. Beautiful, perhaps even interesting. But no more. At 1, maximum 2 show. I'm not sure I want to see it again. Yes, and controversial issues of religion there is too much to be able to accept all at face value.
