Mihir Fadnavis's Film Reviews
-
There’s not enough heart in the film as much as, say, the equally weird ‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs’ but it’s a more memorable animation movie than Dreamworks’ last few films.
-
Hilariously neither Larson nor Hiddleston have a single scratch at any point in the film, despite constantly running around, being attacked, tumbling about and even crashing from a chopper. It only invokes the hatred of humans found in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, another film in which the sub humans were the stars. One wishes this movie contained the nuanced dynamics between humans and the ‘monsters’ from that one.
-
Perfect send-off to Hugh Jackman and a brutal social commentary…
-
In any case this is an effective drama with themes universal in nature. The most fundamentally basic human characteristic is to reach out to one’s family and there’s nothing more heartbreaking to see the bond ripped apart by forces alien to the human.
-
Split, however, is a bonafide roar back to form which showcases why Shyamalan became a superstar in the first place.
-
Along with Reeves the big star of the film is returning director Chad Stahelski who lathers the stunt sequences with intricately designed moves of ass kickery backed up with some seriously stunning cinematography. There’s heightened mood in each dramatic or action scene.
-
If you’re ready to ignore some of its misgivings, Hidden Figures is still a pretty enjoyable watch, and if you had the fortune of learning FORTRAN in school you’ll find the film a wonderful sendoff to the programming language.
-
Those who have grown up with the Batman action figures will have a total blast watching the film seeing as pretty much every supervillain, from the A grade ones like Bane to the C grade ones like Killer Croc and even some hilariously fictional ones, categorised by Batman himself as Z grade villains show up in droves.
-
The only interesting aspect of the film is Vincent D’Onofrio who is delightfully unhinged as a blind priest with strange motivations – someone needs to cast this guy as the Ultimate Monster in a horror movie and watch the sparks fly.
-
Just when one thought the Young Adult genre of movies was dead, The Space Between Us pops up and continues to make the case for the genre to be permanently buried.
