    (Extended Cut) Before Gladiator 2 releases, I need to rewatch this film as I am way overdue for a rewatch...

    This is my 2nd time watching this film and the Extended Cut. I haven't seen this film for at least 5 years. Initially, I gave this 4.5 stars, but after this rewatch, I upgraded to a deserved 5 stars. It is far better than what I remembered.

    Ridley Scott did a tremendous job bringing the classic swords and sandals tale…

    I wonder what Stanley Kubrick would feel if he were alive watching this film...

    The direction is sensational and also super unrestrained. The way she brought the themes and put in a horror spin is brilliant and definitely one of the best directions in 2024. The script is not without its flaws, but I admire the scope it was going for. The opening scene is amazing because it shows the initial popularity of Elisabeth Sparkle and then she becomes an…

    Love it when Roger and Martin tells Tommy DeVito to shut up...

    Richard Donner once again nailed the direction and the tone of the movie. The direction is arguably more better because it involves more action and he ensured the audience that it will be a thrilling journey. The script is so much of an upgrade over the original film. I was not a fan of the character introductions of the previous movie, however, this one does a fantastic job.…

    Somehow, I have never seen Pierce Brosnan's best Bond movie, so here we go...

    Martin Campbell did a brilliant job directing this film. This film involves high tension and memorable action scenes, so it's no wonder that he directed Casino Royale too. The script is ok. The opening scene is a banger and it certainly is one of the greatest openings in the James Bond canon. The story does get a little confusing and muddled at times, but you are…

    The best live-action Ratatouille!

    OMG - this film is very crazy and maniac at times. The direction definitely handles the chaos of the multiverse well and pays huge respects to classic cinema that we all enjoy. The screenplay is quite bizarre, yet it works. In a nutshell, this is The Matrix meets Scott Pilgrim vs the World (transmedia storytelling). This may seem confusing, but it is actually not difficult to interpret.

    Detective Bond?

    Wow, the direction is top-notch. I am very impressed with his direction and I am certainly looking forward to his other films. The screenplay is fantastic with an excellent detective mystery plot and really shocking plot twist. I initially feel the plot is similar to Vertigo, but it eventually is different.

    The cast is perfect and very energetic. Ana De Armas is so great and I can't believe Craig can play a detective nicely, with some funny elements.…
