A Man Called Otto (2022)

Warning: suicide scenes

[1/10 · 1 March 2023]

Warning: suicide scenes

The film does not warn about suicide scenes, which is detrimental to a sensitive audience.

The film is gloomy and depressive, difficult to digest.

The film is not recommended for sensitive people or under psychological treatment, or with depression problems.

Tom Hanks' performances are very realistic, and well done, that's not in dispute.

The movie has a very slow passing, but it causes strong emotions like a roller coaster.

The insistence on repeating and planning suicide scenes makes the film dangerous, and needs a strong warning at the beginning, which is not there.

Santa Evita (2022)

fuerte, cruda y emocionante

[7/10 · 27 July 2022]

Fuerte, cruda y emocionante, suspenso, basado en hechos reales.

Empezó muy bien espero ver mas minutos de Natalia Oreiro

buenas actuaciones, música y vestuario.

All Hail (2022)

good special effects

[5/10 · 31 March 2022]

It's a light comedy good special effects, it was a surprise Beautiful images of Córdoba City and the Mountains, It is healthy to show other parts of Argentina in the movies.

Porn and Ice Cream (2022– )

Sitcom al estilo de "The Big Bang Theory"

[5/10 · 23 March 2022]

I didn't expect much from an Argentine comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised!

It was very good, very funny, I will continue watching it.

This chapter is an 8 out of 10.

I found some similarities to "The Big Bang Theory"

Dune (2021)

has an impressive art, sound and visual effects

[7/10 · 22 October 2021]

Very very good, has an impressive art and sound.

What they say is true, the plot is slow, there are long dialogues, the special effects are a delight, everything looks very realistic, it is a great production, very expensive is part 1, they have dedicated a lot, to establish the foundations of history and the universe the performances have been very good too.

Black Widow (2021)

The argument is total stupidity

[3/10 · 15 July 2021]

I did not like it, it is for a 3 or maximum for a 4 of 10 points.

The argument is total stupidity.

Magic powders are thrown, and with that they solve everything, it is UNBEATABLE

the only good thing was the special effects

it was a really missed opportunity, to have told a good story.

Ragnarok (2020–2023)

season 2 should never have existed

[2/10 · 1 June 2021]

Season 1 was good.

Season 2 should never have existed.

The script for the second season is very bad, the way the characters get together and engage in dialogues and fights is extremely forced and badly acted.

Super Me (2019)

entertaining movie, with a weird ending

[8/10 · 12 May 2021]

I found it very good!

Great special effects, very entertaining

I really liked how that Chinese girl in the bar sang, just a brief appearance, but beautiful voice

there is a scene that is close to that of Bruce Almighty, when Jim Carrey discovers that he has the powers of God

the script takes some unnecessary twists and turns at the end, but they did a great job anyway.

Love and Monsters (2020)

This is an ideal adventure movie for kids and teenegers

[7/10 · 15 April 2021]

This is an ideal adventure movie for kids and teenegers.

It is about a boy who is at the end of the world and has to survive fighting against monstrous mutant insects, good special effects, zero sexual scenes and very low violence,

my rating would have been higher, except for a couple of quite rude plot errors, which still do not make sense.

New Gods: Nezha Reborn (2021)

I was surprised. It's a quite good Chinese production

[6/10 · 15 April 2021]

This good, good amount of action and the animation quality is also very good, which surprised me for being a Chinese production

I saw the movie in its original language spoken in Mandarin Chinese and subtitled in Spanish and the truth is that I get a little dizzy ... one is already used to hearing Spanish or English,

also the dialogues are not so important, it does not affect anything if you stop watching the subtitles for a while, because basically it's about fights between reincarnated old gods, that's the whole plot

Anyway like I said, it's worth it.

For All Mankind (2019– )

very bad season 2

[7/10 · 3 April 2021]

Very good season 1 and bad very bad season 2, boring, too much dialogue, repetitive, little action.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

I didn't like the movie. It's an Abuse of science fiction. Has a terrible plot

[4/10 · 2 April 2021]

I didn't like the movie.

Leaving aside the special effects, the plot is terribly bad, far-fetched and very difficult for children to understand.

Bring two parallel stories, 1 the stories of humans seeking conspiracies, and 2 the story of kong and Godzilla, It is unnecessary, the parts of the conspiracy seekers could well be cut and the movie would still stand and even improve a lot.

Why such a far-fetched argument?

But my God, what the hell is the Hollow Earth?

It is an abuse of science fiction to raise another Earth within the earth, with a different gravity etc etc, it is too much! Or are they very high?

But why the hell are they going to the hollow earth?

Doors (I) (2021)

the movie is very boring.

[3/10 · 26 March 2021]

After 30 minutes it gets really bad and boring, the concept is good, but the movie is very boring.

Except for some effects of the door, the rest of the scenes are in rooms and the dialogues are very bad.

A rating of 3 out of 10 is fair.

The Last Bastion (2018–2019)

so boring

[3/10 · 24 March 2021]

Excellent costumes and scenes in natural environments, but the episodes are very long, dialogue of little importance, and boring. episodes has very little action, just go to episode 5 and leave it

Sky Rojo (2021–2023)

I really liked it

[10/10 · 23 March 2021]

Impressive, I really liked it. It is to highlight the performance of Lali Esposito (Wendy) I have discovered that in addition to being an excellent singer, she is a very good actress. is a netflix series of short chapters, full of action and unexpected twists! I enjoyed them a lot

Tribes of Europa (2021)

the movement of cameras makes me dizzy !!

[1/10 · 20 February 2021]

I can't stand the movement of the cameras they make, it makes me dizzy !!!

Invisible City (2021–2023)

It's an X-Files style in Rio, excellent idea!

[10/10 · 11 February 2021]

I had my prejudices about South American productions, but .....

after the 2nd chapter, I applaud this series of Brazilian mystery and mythology, very good! It is an X Files style in Rio, excellent idea!

Agent Revelation (2021)

the movie is bad, very bad

[1/10 · 3 February 2021]

The movie is bad, very bad, I watched until minute 18 and stopped it, unbearable, very badly acted, and bad special effects

News of the World (2020)

Tom Hanks never disappoints

[9/10 · 30 January 2021]

Very good, very good performances, Tom Hanks never disappoints. With so much trash movie going around, seeing a good performance like this is refreshing

Al Acecho (2019)

It's good low-budget Argentine movie

[6/10 · 30 January 2021]

It's good to be a low-budget Argentine movie, a bit slow at the beginning, but the tension rises as it progresses, unexpected ending. Much better than the Yankee garbage you see around here.

Mulan (2020)

Beautiful story of overcoming and honoring the family

[8/10 · 7 December 2020]

Beautiful story of overcoming and honoring the family, stunning natural landscapes and costumes. This movie is worth seeing, I didn't see the previous movies

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

this 2020 third season is really bad

[7/10 · 27 November 2020]

I think this third season (except 3.1 and 3.2), is really bad, the chapters have no emotion, they are heavy, too much dialogue, little action, it makes me fall asleep, I am about to stop watching it definitely

So Much Love to Give (2020)

good argentinian comedy

[7/10 · 12 September 2020]

It's a good argentinian comedy about love affairs, very funny

Cosas de hombres (2020)

It's a funny Chilean comedy

[8/10 · 19 June 2020]

The movie pleasantly surprised me. It is a fun Chilean comedy. It has a lot of macho-type dialogue, but it is precisely the central theme of the film towards where a change is desired and in a certain way it gives a message to become aware of issues of sexual diversity.

Artemis Fowl (2020)

Disney, you can do better!

[2/10 · 19 June 2020]

I want to clarify that I did not read the book, nor do I intend to. I only saw the movie, because it has the Disney stamp, and I thought it was a good quality product ...

But but but ...

The good:

There are good things and many bad things with this movie. The good thing is the CGI, well done, good quality, credible. Very beautiful landscapes of Ireland ... and end. All good things end there.

The bad:

Everything that follows is for oblivion ... The plot of this film hardly surpasses Velocipastor! (and that's a very bad thing)

The story is very basic, and there are strange things in the concept: there are fairies ok, so far so good, but ..., far from what one might think or expect. These fairies are armed and militarized with whom we could never empathize. The script and dialogue cause a headache. They go from hate to love with very inconsistent dialogues. There are super forced scenes. There are camera movements that give circles that make you dizzy, leave the camera still for the love of God! We already know they have the software to rotate the scene! And there are parts where everything is stirred in a (literal) whirlpool, which directly understands nothing of where the characters are.

Several of the adult actors are of great renown and career, but they have really been wasted, sunk into small roles and making a fool of themselves.

And about the character of the boy Artemis, it is not an original concept at all, it's like a weird mix of Harry Potter with the guys from Narnia and spiced up with a little Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids, but Artemis is much more insolent and emboldened than all of them together, I find it hard to empathize with the child, who never doubts himself (and is 12 years old) or is afraid of anything, does not respect the elderly and mocks everyone. This Artemis is arrogant and is not a role model for my children.

Conclusion: I do not recommend it! (except you're 3 years old, so you wouldn't be reading this) Disney, you can do better!
