Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions
THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES
The Argentine academy winner for the best foreign film category.I honestly do not know why this film got the prestegious award.Very long and people keep talking all the time.Arent movies a visual media,where the story has to be told in visuals more than in dialogues.The plot is also not very mysterious.
2 out of 5 stars.

People keep talking all the time can led to a good movie too. Case in point, "Man from Earth". But it has to be engaging enough.
^^Exactly,12 Angry Men is one such movie(in any all time best movies list & rated top court room drama of all time on rotten tomatoes). Its hindi adaptation "ek ruka hua faisla" is also very good(superb acting by all incl pankaj kapoor & annu kapoor.Have you seen it?
WTF. Some of the best drama films are the ones that have compelling dialogues.

Long dialogues?!!!
Thats your problem. May be your are watching movies of advanced age, try movies from 1930 and below timeline.
I agree. The problem is that, the movie had a really good story to tell about how VR can invade and take over our lives. It had all the ingredients of what makes for good cinema: gunfights, races, quests, chase sequence, giant monsters, dancing and a treasure hunt. The pop culture references were just too much and were shoved down your throat. Like there is no need to explain Parzival's suit is from Backaroo Banzai... those who have seen the movie will get it. The references in RPO just bogged down the whole movie. Towards the end, they did not have to explain so much about the game with the first easter egg, because it was boring for people who actually knew about the game and how to find it. In the end, the treatment alienated anyone who would actually know all these references. Even Meet the Spartans was full of pop culture references, but did not explain every one of them, and I find that to be a far better movie than RPO. Hell, Shool had pop culture references without over-explaining them. An entire other issue with the movie is how Artemis starts off as a strong female character and still ends up as a trophy girlfriend. Now a days, I am getting saturated by this pop culture reference thing. RPO had it, Avengers had it, Deadpool had it, and even freaking Solo had it.

Very well made,the director shows how to direct,you do not feel like watching a movie at all,you feel like you are there.
Like all other Spanish movies,the hero looks very average and that actually helps,he and every other single actor has acted well
Background music is good.
A must watch action drama
3.5 out of 5 stars

This is a nice horror movie.I don't like too much gore and excessive jump scares as they feels cheap. This movie uses jump scares too but they are not too much.

Very neatly written and directed.Length of the scenes in the first 100 minutes could have been shorter.The two lead male actors have acted really well and deservingly one got the best actor award.I did not understand the knot in the plot in the last scene,Iam dumb.People who have watched please explain.

Highly overrated movie. First half of this movie is good I will admit but the second half is just bad. It should never get anything above 5. How these movies are getting so high scores I don't understand. Those who rates this movie so high are either people who watches very less movies or paid reviewers.

No need to be so negative,movies are highly subjective in nature.Just because a movie is highly rated but not liked by you does not necessarily make it a bad movie.

Many reviewers share same opinion on imdb. That's why I skipped this.
