Dark Waters
(2019)

Well act, well written
Seriously what a good movie. Thank you for makers for making this kind of movie... Seriously well acted, well directed, and well written.

Joker
(2019)

MY TOP 5 this Year
What's with this season suddenly become so many interesting movie in the second half of the year?

You won't enjoy it unless you get every little subtle transformation our main character namely Arthur from the start. He laugh with sadness. Loneliness and feel abandoned reel him in to the dark side. Not shy away to that darkness of human emotion, add to that deliciously subtle music score, acting, and the whole ambiance of the movie what make this movie memorable. The music score is haunting and support the feeling Arthur went through the whole movie. The angst is deliciously well played. Add to that amazing performance from Phoenix who is the core of the show. Brilliant.

Ad Astra
(2019)

Not for casual viewers.
I understand Why this movie Getting unfavourable review by the mass in IMDB. The expectation might be different. Casual viewers who get used action flicks, you won't get it here.

I'm watching it with fully aware of that and satisfied with what this movie has offered. Me, As a casual viewers who don't understand the whole point of the movie until I get to know the ending.

It's rather drama rather than action flicks. The directing makes sure u understand the emotional state of every character from the close facial expression, the amazing score who touch every core of my emotion, the slow motion, the silence. Detach directing but sincere.

You expecting the backstabbing, betrayal, and a real villain, but you end up watching a man psychollogy who has false assumption, who want to get closure on his father dissapearance, and it turn out to be an unexpected answered. It has an amazing action scene, but it's not getting emphasis because it's not what this movie about. Watched it if you love psychological and watching movie conveying deep human emotion. Turn your back if you expected action, thriller and entertainment.

Tajja: One aideu jaek
(2019)

Highy entertaining, watch it!
This movie is Highly addictive, and after the second act, you can't even look away and find out how the movie unfold. I haven't watched the first 2 installment off Tazza. But watching the 3rd one makes me eager to watch it's predecessor. The movie acted by good ensemble cast with Park Jung Min as star among the young cast. The movie got darker and darker, and get too violent for my taste as the stories progress with so many backstabbing, revenge and betrayal , but you just can't look away. Very entertaining movie. But don't expect a nice character in here, because you will hardly find one.

Twivortiare
(2019)

Boring.
It's boring, except the main character, the rest of character are just an afterthought with no real character. Maybe it's just work for a movie especially for a romance movie., but it's not working when the two leads performance who should carry the emotional wavelength the show required are underwhelming . They are so pretty to look at though. And the writers clearly playing save to unfold the story.

Eksiteu
(2019)

One of the best I've seen this year
One of the Best well spent Movie I've seen in 2019. I laugh, cried, thrilled and feel for the character. The character feels alive. The idea is pretty common, but the execution is awsome, mindlowing and full of heart. Imagine if you are in heroes situation when you hardly trying hard in everything you do and you complain every single little thing. But you seems no longer care that much, until you are put in a dangerous situation when your life is on the line and you try to survive with the remaining tools and skills you have. If only you gave your effort as much as that, might be you will achieve more is the message of this movie. Off course, the execution is bit convenient at times. Nevertheless. do Well deserved admission record.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
(2019)

Meh. Bad acting is really distracting.
I wouldn't expecting this movie would be at least has good plot let alone a masterpiece. But when the movie already lack logic and lack substance, the show will depend so much on actor charm, screen presence and good acting to make the audience believe this unbeliavable situation. The worst think is the only actor who can deliver those quality is the girl named Vanessa. she is a real badass, and wishing she is the one our main focus. The rest is hopeless. The joke is not even delivered perfectly by the actor and it become cringe fest and at times become unintentionally funny. When Ryan Reynolds finally show up at the end of the credit rolling, i wonder why he is not one of the main cast instead, and it will make this movie at least not a bore fest. Sorry. No amount of blockbuster over the top action can make up bad acting.

Foxtrot Six
(2019)

A really good movie
First and foremost a what a great acting from the cast. There is no acting hole, that I'm proud they can deliver an english line with fire and good intonation. Without them, this movie wouldn't work big time because it's rely so much on the actor and the director to deliver. My complaint is there are many unnecesary sadistic and cruel scene with take duration film far too long. Which make me less enjoying the movien. The writing is decent, but some how abit simplistic. But that's okay, overall, this movie carried hard by the actor and the director and I applaud the effort. Indonesia should make another serious movie more often. We love our film product if they can make countless movie like this.

Alita: Battle Angel
(2019)

Worth it just for cgi.
I watched it on 3D and the CGI is not dissapointing and worth to watch for the performances of Sora. Her screen presence is magnetic. Nah now in terms of plot. I actually like what Is Saw for the first 30 min, unlike any other movie where they are straight to the action first to hooked viewers, the first introduce the world building of Alita Is well done, so viewers who haven't get the chance to read the comic book understand what the movies is about. Nah, the problem start in the second half. They focus on the romances and take the battle at the same time which is out of place and bizare. And it's just getting worse until the end. It's just turn into a cheesy live action movie. I cringe.

Bumblebee
(2018)

A good ride.
What a good ride. The plot is pretty much straight forwards as it gets. But the amazing directorial and performances from Hailee Steinfeld as Charlie (she is an amazing kid) enchance the story and give this movie so much heart that I cried alot while watching it. And I have to admit, they did a great job for making bumblebee not looks as strong as he lookS and that make me feel for him and the way any human first look at him at first glance. Thumbs up.

Yip Man ngoi zyun: Cheung Tin Chi
(2018)

Amazing martial arts and good directorial carried the show
An epic tale martial arts coreography and a nice setting from the era down to the tiniest detail. A mandarin classic movie full of action pack carried by a good directorial overcome a lackluster acting from the leads(I have to give them credit for pulling off a brilliant martial arts scene btw) and mediocre script.

Milly & Mamet: Ini Bukan Cinta & Rangga
(2018)

Mediocre
Story is suffered from too much product placement and out of place humour. Useless character is present for the sake of humour relief and alot of is not fungtional to the story. Mediocre story at best.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
(2018)

Fun to the point I want to watch it over and over again.
I have been grown up become an vid fan of Spider Man series. After facing several dissapointment from previous Spider Man movie, This movie saved me and my watching experience in 2018. Simply one of my best movie 2018 so far. And my best spider Man series. I even want to re watch it again with my friend.

Aquaman
(2018)

Boring
It's boring. Seriously waste my 2 hours watching this. Why this movie is got full and dominate the amount of screening this movie in my country is beyond my imagination. It's filled by character I don't care about. No character I can root because they're just feels not real and I can't relate to anything they talk and their action. A fantasy doesn't mean you won't touch realism.

Mortal Engines
(2018)

Beautiful Relationship
Watch it for Hera Hillmar performances which is AMAZING for me. Watch it for her bonding relationship with character starring Robert Sheehan. Their build up relationship is really beautiful for me and geniune that you root for them to overcome every challenge of their relationship who will tear them apart. The only downside of this movie is the plot is really convoluted and has too many of introduction character to fill in 2 hours movie. Also too many conicidence to drive the plot moving forward. Or else really entertaining movie and worth my time and money to spent in movie theatre. The scenery and the directing is really a top notch and really elevated the script, the plot keep moving which make it not boring.

Ralph Breaks the Internet
(2018)

Better than Original
For me, this is even better than the original. It keep you intertaint till the last screen. There is no one dimensional villain that ruin the flow of the story for me. I understand if people think the original story is better, because the underdog story often relate to us that touch our hearts. But this is got different narrative and message compare to the first one. It's about friendship and when your friendship got challenged. The product placement is abit irritating. But that's okay

Wreck-It Ralph
(2012)

Good but forgettable ride
I watch it today, and have high expectation given the good review. i watch it so I can continue to watch the sequel. The idea is good, who wouldn't love an underdog Story who used to get threw away by your environment? The first half is have a good start. But somehow it's just fall short with the villain presence wHo is caricature at best and the other twist which is unnecesarry and just to satisfy our desire of our protagonist got what they got. It's miss the mark to make something more memorable. GooD but forgettable ride.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
(2018)

This is basically a filler chapter
Dissapointment. So many character, so many filler scene Which I have no idea what the main purpose is. If the main purpose is intRoduction character to for upcoming Fantastic Beast, I have to give you an advice to fire Half of the actor they have present in this movie, because they can't emote for real. I have to laugh when dramatic emotional actually happen, it's basically turn into unintentionally comedy

Robin Hood
(2018)

Entertaining watch, good directorial that can cover up Mediocre story
Taron Egerton is so good. His screen presence alone make this drama worth watching, despite underwhelming several performances of the cast. And any director who can make mediocre story watchable have to take credit for it. The timing of the backsound music, cinematography, the realness of the action scene, attention to detail, make you hooked immediately just from the first scene alone. . I Think A movie can still be entertaining carried by director and cast. An Entertaining watch.

Hunter Killer
(2018)

I feel sorry for the writers
The screen writers has a nice idea and good at build up the tension. Unfortunately, the actor and director are not supporting their idea. The actor start to wake up when the movie is going to end. Like wtf!.

A Star Is Born
(2018)

The idea is good. very Lackluster execution
Simple. This movie bored me to tears... Nothing exciting or meaningful happening. The acting is just very lackluster for me. Emoting it's not only produce some tears and screaming. The idea is good... The execution bored me to tears. It would be awsome if this movie handle by a more talent production in front and behind the camera

Smallfoot
(2018)

One of the most satisfying movie this year for me
At first glance, I really thought it's just an average animation movie with adding adventure to the mix. But look between the surface, and you will enjoy every minute of it and getting surprise at how geniune the message they are trying to convey.

Halloween
(2018)

Waste of time
There is no story in this movie. Every action is for testing Audiences heart rate. Don't ever bother to looking for character we are supposed to root for. Because once we start to care, they aim to get killed! The villain is just a killing machine without add any real arc. Furthermore he is not that smart, he is just too strong even for a serial killer! Who cares about other franchise movie? Not every watchers is a halloween franchise fanatic. So please add real depth to your char first before you want us, audiences, start to care.

Venom
(2018)

Become Alot of fun In the second act.
I don't know why critics is too harsh on this movie. I admit, the beginning is lackluster. I know they try to make sense why Eddie end up what makes who he is. But the setup is too formulaic, so watching formulaic setup bring less joy at first, I even want to quit from theatre. Then the fun is there when Eddie and Venom merge become one. From their banter, action scene involving them, heck even character surrounding them become alot more enjoyable and fun to watch. If they create sequel, I definitely will looking forward to it.

Johnny English Strikes Again
(2018)

Hillarious but offensive.
It's hard to watch a comedy which is too heavy- hand and slaptick. At times Johnny is too violent to some people around him even to a weak old woman who used a wheelchair and Johnny act violently and it's supposed to be funny and we are supposed to root for him to success . It won't work. The main doesn't has the quality characteristic to make us audience rooting for him other than his funny side. You are just stop caring to our main hero before reaching the scond half of the movie. It would be awsome if the movie is all about Johnny and his student and not about his useless mission.
