Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Emotionally gripping and breathtaking old-school thrill
19 July 2022 - 3 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- breathtaking and virtuosic flight scenes (without visual effects!)
- quick and clear staging
- good balance between flight scenes and interpersonal drama / despite character drama a real "male" action film
- good balance between nostalgia/homage and reinvention
- powerful images and sound
Neutral:
- politically neutral, but still military propaganda
Negative:
- a little too much egomania by Tom Cruise; the film doesn't have much else to offer besides him and the aerial spectacle.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Owns much of the typical Harry Potter magic
19 April 2022 - 2 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald
- stunning sets, meticulously designed animals and costumes and an excellent sound (and D-Box!!) production make this a cinema "beast"
Negative:
- with Dumbledore in the focus, it feels more like a Harry Potter movie than a Fantastic Beasts movie.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Surprising and entertaining superhero fun
9 January 2022 - 0 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- outrageously entertaining and dry-humored, but at the same time emotional, tragic and gloomy
- non-stop surprises
- the once again fantastic Tom Holland gives his character a whole new depth and the chemistry with Zendaya is phenomenal
- banging action and an impressive excursion into the mirror dimension
- many future MCU spoilers and an exciting cliffhanger at the end
Neutral:
- merging with the non-MCU Spider-Man films (enriches the story, but feels somehow wrong to bring back these old characters)
Negative:
- letting May die (in this way), only to give him his own "with great power comes great responsibility" moment.

Rurôni Kenshin: Sai shûshô - The Final (2021)
Starts leisurely, but explodes into a peerless action spectacle towards the end
19 December 2021 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- breathtaking action choreography (fast-paced and spectacular fights in anime style that still don't seem unrealistic, including original techniques and sets)
- besides the action you will also be faced with tragedy, anger, despair, loss and and inner conflicts
Negative:
- flat and clumsy script that makes the film too long and very slow-moving at the beginning
- no serious character expression apart from Kenshin (the characters look blank if you haven't seen the predecessors)

Eternals (2021)
Epic and excellently staged superhero film, but using the usual MCU scheme does more harm than good
13 December 2021 - 5 out of 22 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- gripping action scenes
- impressive backdrops and breathtaking images
- immediately emotional despite numerous new heroes
- refreshing dramaturgy with clever twists and no typical CGI orgy as a finale
Negative:
- the integration of MCU-typical humour and all sorts of allusions feels forced and wrong in addition to the epic narrative and spherical style. As a standalone film "Eternals" would have been more rounded.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Respect that the version was realized, but it's still an exhausting four-hour monster that actually doesn't benefit anyone except the few who demanded it
10 October 2021 - 13 out of 22 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- great entertainment
- thrilling superhero story that's taught like a great fairytale
- new look, background stories, supporting characters and ending
- enough backstory for every hero, so you can identify with them when they finally step onto the team pitch
Negative:

After We Collided (2020)
Not only sexier and funnier, but also a better film than the first part - but anyone who has no interest in romantic drama anyway can stay away from this
25 September 2021 - 2 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- the sex is wilder than in the first film and conveys that they really want each other
- in spite of a lot of drama, inbetween there's good mood and humour
Negative:
- thanks to the constant back and forth between Tessa and Hardin and a lot of narrative idleness, the film drags on noticeably towards the end.

Chaos Walking (2021)
Conceptionally inventive, but possibly a prequel would have been more exciting and could have been the start for a trilogy...
21 September 2021 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Positive:
- top-class cast with two charismatic main roles
- Todds clumsiness with blurting out things
- some fascinating ideas and an ingenious visual implementation of the "noise" and some related effects
Negative:
- many briefly opened storylines which are not actually pursued
- the filmmakers could have made more out of this actually exciting concept.

Bloodshot (2020)
Funny trash
16 September 2021
Positive:
- entertaining
- cleverly staged, so you can experience the disorientation of the protagonist
- play with the question of what is reality
- Vin Diesel at his best gives the film identity and charisma
- heavy action sequences
- futuristic gimmicks and special effects background
Negative:
- tries to start its own superhero universe, but just recycles a lot of well-known elements
- underdeveloped script that has no sense of character development, background story or emotions and instead serves dull action and thus does not exploit the potential of the interesting basic idea
- the secondary characters appear flat
- partly bad computer effects and too hectically cut scenes.

11 August 2021
Positive:
- refreshingly weird with a wide repertoire of everything (tricks, clothing, surroundings)
Negative:
- tends to exaggeration
- the lack of a serious plot and even a single charismatic star except Margot Robbie.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
A completely different film than its predecessor, but also exciting and dynamic
14 June 2021
Positive:
- well done
- hard action
- fantastic performances by Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro
Negative:
- gloomy-pessimistic mood. Sicario 2 is missing what made the first part: the breath of hope that Emily Blunt exudes in between all the violence and ruthlessness.
