Y: The Last Man (2021)
3rd Episode & The Last Man in the World
Is still chasing his monkey around like a 4 year old idiot.
I hope the monkey turns out to be the mastermind of the whole event - then maybe this level of stupidity might be explained.
Although, months lingering in NYC, searching for the woman who rejected him, but making no contact with his family - not even the monkey can explain that level of stupidity.
Great premise, rendered unwatchable.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Star Wars is now Dead to me
Having watched every Star Wars from the 2nd in cinema on the release days with huge anticipation, after the boring rehash that was the last one, I didn't bother even going to the cinema for this one. Having now watched on a long haul flight with nothing else to watch, I want my two hours back so I can sit there staring at nothing instead. Others have said it all - total garbage.
Jin ling shi san chai (2011)
Terrible historical event deserved much better treatment
Lots of others have written about the performances and basic story. I guess I feel that this story did little to truly portray the terrible atrocity of the Japanese occupation of Nanking. Don't get me wrong, I thought that the ultimate selfless sacrifices were very moving, even the sacrifice of the Chinese Major. If only the movie had made a little bit of effort to appear even vaguely even-handed in its contrast between selfless Chinese Heros who can single handedly destroy a battalion of stupid nasty Japanese and Japanese soldiers who on the whole spend their time running around leering and hunched over cackling like monkeys as they chase girls around and around. I have read many accounts and the Nanking Massacre is undoubtedly one of the worst in history. If only they had toned down the stereotyping then this film may have been a credible introduction to the topic for people and opened real discussion. Instead it just looks like an incredible piece of nationalistic propaganda with zero credibility which diminishes the true powerful story of this terrible event.
