Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Movie made for martial arts fans and Chinese
To clear out the reviews fight. I believe that the situation is like this:
If you love martial arts you will love this film. If you are Chinese you will probably like it, and even more if you live outside China.
If you are a huge Marvell fan you will like this movie or at least tolerate it.
All the rest will probably be disappointed.
It is still a Marvell film, and the quality is good. The story is less good, and at many points loses any common sense even for a "superheroes" movies that initially lack any sense. Marvell could do better at least with the story.
2:Hrs (2018)
English classical style movie.
Simple story line, instant well predictable ending. Most actors don't bother to actually act (Ella-Rae Smith, Fabienne Piolini-Castle, and Alhaji Fofana actually did a good job). Home made visual effects. Only watch this if you like 60's style cinema.
Ruben Brandt, a gyujto (2018)
Unique experience.
I don't like modernism / avant-grade animation, but surprisingly I liked this one. It was both simple and complex. The story is basic but not disappointing. It has many Communism / Socialism links that will probably be understood only by people who lived in USSR and related countries at that era.
Overall it was fresh and unique experience.
An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (2018)
Waste of time.
This movie is very artistic, it's made directly for the critics. The actors play brilliantly. The roles are very colorful and way overplayed intentionally.
I'm not a critic and for me it was 98% boring. 100% waste of time. Plot is flat and full of disappointments. Not even one good moment through entire movie.
