Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Use the Subtitles
If you don't speak German, use the subtitles at the gitgo. The first hour is all German Speaking, but the subtitles do translate. I was very disappointed because I've never had to do that before. Anyway, the first hour is chasing and, in fact, most of the first half is chasing. It's hard to understand because the dialog is low and when you turn it up the next scene is something being blown up so it's loud again. It's nice to see the same actors come back if even for a short scene. I didn't enjoy this as much as the others and I bought it mainly to complete the set. I'll wait a few months, then watch it again with the subtitles.
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
What a waste of money
I know you have to put up with certain 'colorful' language in the new movies, but his one is just plain filthy. You can't even follow the plot, if there is one, because of the 'Wife's' mouth. Sorry, but I sold this after watching 30 min.
Wonder Woman (2017)
Wish I would have read the other reviews
I agree with the bad reviews. When I was a little girl, Wonder Woman was portrayed as smart, funny and super powerful. Well, one out of three isn't bad, I guess. In this she is portrayed as such a slow learner and naive that she can't grasp the simplest of changes that the world has to offer. I was really disappointed
Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage (2014)
I wish I would have paid attention to the bad reviews
If you are a Sinbad fan don't buy or watch this movie. I have been a Sinbad fan for over 50 years and have seen many Sinbad movies, but this one shouldn't even have the name on it. In fact they don't even pronounce it correctly...it sounds like "sandbag" in the movie. After watching it I was amazed that Patrick Stewart had anything to do with it. The special effects were a joke. You'd think it was made in the 40s or 50s instead of just last year. Even the blooper reel wasn't funny. I also should have had a hint about it when I didn't recognize any of the actors. I like to see new ones and I hope some of them get a second chance with a better script. The director should go back to playing terrorists or something like that. Again, don't waste your time or money, even if you have a Sinbad movie collection like I do. It won't be a part of it.
Tin Man (2007)
Wish they had movies like this when I was a kid
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I grew up with Wizard of Oz once a year but I must be going thru my second childhood because this was great. I admit I'm not too critical of special effects because I don't have much to compare them to...all I know is what I like and I thought these were great. The story kept having twists and turns that you never expect. I thought the acting was great even though I may be easy to please, I couldn't wait to see what happened next and was almost sorry when the movie ended. There are a few other movies like this I enjoy and, like I said, I wish they would have had some of them when I was younger...I envy the kids and their choices today but I still can enjoy them at my age (69) too.
Solaris (2002)
Big Disappointment
I'd have to say George Clooney has made some not-so-good movies, and this one is one of them. I kept waiting for something but it didn't happen for me. The acting was okay but he and Natasha weren't very selective in their movie pick on this one. When I finally figured out what was happening (3/4 way thru the movie) it was too late to stop watching so I had to finish. I have over 2,000 movies in my collection but this one is not a keeper, sorry to say. I really like George and Natasha, but this movie won't be part of my collection. I keep hoping George will come up with another good one as he is a very versatile actor and I really enjoy his other movies...the one's I've kept anyway
