Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

[whitestar_999]

Not all movies can be successfully adapted into regional/local language without some pretty good script modification & brilliant acting.Only hindi movie that I know of successfully doing it is "Ek Ruka Hua Faisla" which is an adaptation of classic "12 Angry Men". This movie actually adapted the diference between jurors brilliantly in Indian context with issues like slums vs rich,marathi vs outsiders,old generation vs new etc.

The "ONLY" thing common is teacher and student .... the entire concent of both movies is completely different. By your logic, all courtroom movies are same then since all involve lawyers and judges and show some sort of legal system. Hichki is a movie about "Tourette's Syndrom" and how a teacher overcomes this limitation to successfully become a teacher .... same is with front of class.

To sir with love is NOT about a person becoming a teacher. Its about a man who already IS a teacher and the complications he faces being a BLACK man in a white high school students and how he manages to overcome this.

Both movies are miles apart.

The movie surely not about "Tourette's Syndrom", the movie is still about how a teacher brings in line a class full of unruly students. "Tourette's Syndrom" is here the discomfort that "To sir with love" did with the teacher being "black".

"To sir with love" is a brilliant book about how a black teacher is given the responsibility of a total messed up class. If he fails to bring them in order, he goes out.
If you look closely, "Hichki" too deals with same concept.

b/w if your opinion is on the movie version of "To sir with love", that was a shitty movie. I've read the book and watched the movie too. I can make the difference.

By your logic, all courtroom movies are same then since all involve lawyers and judges and show some sort of legal system.

Aren't you generalizing too much here?
Every courtroom drama is different, I've that much grey matter to make the difference.

But, if two movies deal with same core concept, I'll call them "SIMILAR" and "INSPIRED".

Upgrade 7/10

Predictable. Violence was a bit unexpected for such a movie but well executed.

Ratsasan - 8/10
Ratsasan (2018) - IMDb


Decent thriller. May remind you of some holly/korean movies. Climax may be a lil bit masala-ish.

Currently prints with Hardcoded Korean subs and audio at 192 kbps only. Blu-ray will release on 27th Nov 2018 and Amazon Video and iTunes on November 13, 2018. I suggest you to wait for a good print

Saw it few weeks back. Watch it just to encourage the makers. Overall its not a great or a good movie but its definitely a good attempt by the makers. The VFX of this movie is really impressive, also technically this movie is good.
Ps: If you have played the game "hellblade" then you will get somewhat similar kind of vibe. If you can catch it then go for it.

Badhai ho:
Thought the crowd was for "Thugs of hindostan" but I was not sure as the couple standing in front of me at the box office was asking about the price of "Thugs" ticket which is Rs 230 and then started thinking if they should go for it. Later after entering the theater I realized the crowd mostly was for this movie. Though it was not housefull but the audience was enough.
Coming to the movie its a clean family entertainer with some nice dialogues and screenplay. Movies like these are rare these days go and watch it recommended from my side.

Cold Eyes - 7/10

Good surveillance thriller.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout [2018]: 8.5/10
Cruise and McQuarrie return with fresh grit and excellence that leaves me wanting more from the duo

2.0 (2018) - 7/10
Amy jackson is Hot....Razni is excellent. Akshay kumar looks badasss as villian.
Few weak points and ending is not that good.

Venom (2018) - 7/10
Good movie and plot and special effects.

Though I am now confused:

Spoiler

Venom was introduced in Spider man as one of the villains, but here he is shown as superhero ?

 

[jackal_79]

Anyone interested in Malayalam movies should give Joseph a try. Worth it.

So, does it mean Antihero can't tolerate a Hero ?

no, not like that. Anti Hero and Hero mostly do not agree with each other, but they can come to terms when a greater threat comes into the picture. Kind of like Vegeta during Freeza arc, where he teamed up with Gohan and Krillin against Ginyu Force
