Danish Bagdadi's Film Reviews
-
‘Begin Again’ is a beautifully crafted product filled with good, earnest performances that emanate sincerity. However the movie’s emotionally kind of hollow by the end and low on plot. You will enjoy the movie, but I doubt there would be much to remember from your experience once you’ve stepped out of the cinema.
-
The movie offers exactly what fans of the series crave for, and honestly it’s a step up from the last two movies, but if logic, actual plot development, genuine tension and thrill are what you want then avoid it.
-
This is the X-Men movie which we deserved after the second one and the worthy alternate to the Avengers universe. It has heart-pounding action sequences, brilliant performances, amazing effects, heavy themes, great one-liners and some truly heart warming moments; don’t miss it. Also don’t forget to stick around till after the credits, where the upcoming sequel is cryptically foreshadowed.
-
Fans of the original (the 1954 one and the Japanese iterations) will find much to enjoy and appreciate about how many elements this movie manages to sneak in from there. However those new to ride, might be left scratching their heads as to all the hoopla. It’s a handsomely mounted spectacle filled with visceral razzle-dazzle but lacking cohesion and logic.
-
Million Dollar Arm is a sweet little film filled with a predictable plot and some stereotyping which might rub some the wrong way. Honestly I’ve seen way worse and if anything, this movie tries to be far more grounded than most. Watch it, you won’t be disappointed.
-
In trying to milk this cash-cow for all it’s worth, the makers have sent it further down the pit, watch it for Emma Stone and some great CGI else its plays out like a bastard child of Marc Webb’s ‘(500) Days of Summer’ and Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 3’.
-
If watching people jump across walls and buildings gives you a boner, then go ahead and spend your money on this D-grade action flick canvassing as something better. Else you’d be better off playing Frogger or renting the original French version. This should definitely not be chalked up on Walker’s legacy.
-
‘Divergent’ has a strong central performance from Woodley and works quite well for more than half of its running length when it focuses on her training. However once it jumps to the larger conspiracy part of things, all goes down quicker than you can say Titanic.
-
Easily one of the best movies to come out of Marvel, has enough humour and heart along with all the blockbuster elements that make you love a good superhero movie.
-
‘Noah’ is movie filled with visually and thematically riches that will offer much for those looking for more than just a simple retelling of the tale of Noah. Yes, it is cumbersome and some of the dialouge and scenes worthy of unintentional laughter but despite it’s flaws it works.
