Syberia: The World Before
(2022)

Any Syberia sequel was a promise, became a political hijack
The original mystery, the careful production and heart touching plot of the original games were a rare gem. Even if they let so much time pass it still not erase the value or gives way to pollute it with the new social construct crap.

If the producers did not find themselves to the height of the project then abandon it, but don't use it for a crooked ideological indoctrination.

They introduce climate change in a second world war scenario as an indoctrination method. You couldn't let anything unspoiled right?

Th beauty of this masterpiece series was simply killed. In communist countries, as much as in fascist countries ( which is a form of Marxism), any literary production had to respect and include the state propaganda. This new game off the series does the same but in a "free" environment. The subtle sexual theme, the climate change theme, the subtle communism praise as a "liberator" had nothing to do with the fantastic and delicate theme of the original story.

It just ruined it.

The gameplay was full of unplayable scenes. I understand the obligation to watch it the first time. I really do not understand the need to play the scene every time you have to load the game again. The series of scenes, were one just stay put and wait for them to finish, with no button to push it forward, just ruined the experience. Already the puzzles were down played and dumb. Was that inclusion? Make levels of intensity and introduce a level of normal, were we need to think and struggle, so we may learn something from it. You just served the puzzles on a plate and put a looong scene as a reward. You just forgot that people are playing and paying for this and not trained monkeys.

The Personal History of David Copperfield
(2019)

Not a good movie
This movie have No Story debt.

This movie have Shallow characters.

This movie have no respect for the writer or the atmosphere of the novel. The original story ot is so rich and wonderful that it takes a lot of intevention to make it fail. Well they did it!

This movie is made for the political corectness sake, ending up mockering the story. If i need to see politics I watch the news.

It doesn't bring anything new or better compared with previous films. You end up wanting it to finish. I rather enjoyed the commercials and I do everything to avoid them.

Waste of time. And I write this last words just to complete 200 characters...

Knock Knock
(2014)

Does not serve any purpose.
I gave 2 beacause its a movie and they put together the scenes. In the end I did not see any purpose to this. I saw one of the endings, the pointless one. The movie does not show any true drama, all of the touching points are undeveloped. Nor the family issue, not the pedophilia or the mental disorder are the point of the story. It could have been made as a real bad drama, but it wasn't. The dialogue is not convincing and the insanity of the girls is the only thing that is fully mature. It is not even a horror movie or scary. It is embarrassing, that is for sure.

Cell
(2016)

Interesting idea, not that bad
Loved the movie. It is a deviation from the classic zombie flick. It starts well and develops well just get very dark and gloomy in the end. Almost hopeless, looks like a nightmare. Although the idea could have been better, the execution was nice. I was surprised it got so low reviews.

Adults in the Room
(2019)

This film is an soft exposure of a shameful EU
I loved it, I think it is an must view for anyone in Europe. All our European countries did things. That is not an excuse to be robbed blind by "friends". The mediocrity of the system, exposed in the movie, it is revolting.

Ghost Team
(2016)

I liked it
I liked the movie, it is intense sometimes and real, good for a movie night.

The Three Musketeers
(2011)

Lack of imagination and shameful plot
It is very hard to overweight Alexandre Dumas. It is not a crime to try and fail, but to preposterously change history, murder characters, take out key elements of the story it is the closest thing to literary crime. As we can see, somebody not only did that, but succeeded to put it into a movie. That is the only success the movie had. Luckily nobody tried to change the genders of the musketeers but unfortunately the four main characters had little to do along the movie. It was much more easy to use one or two of them, because the other ones were just a waste of script. There is no might in Porthos, no mystery or wisdom in Athos, no priesthood in Aramis. The original story is downgraded to the extreme. I am a fan of the books written by Alexandre Dumas so for fans the movie starts to stink after the first minutes. That is why there is no reason to go into details about how the actors played and why the interpretation was so lame. There are some enjoyable moments but the bitter taste of insufficient imagination spoils the overall experience. My question was why they bother to take a well-known classical story, when is easier to write a new one and go with it. There is a clear trend of distorting the old stories and make them fit "panem et circenses" because most of movie industry is mediocre. The only way that trend is reversed is by treating second hand work for what it is and marl it clearly. Like this we may give in the future a chance to young viewers to enjoy real plots, good scripts and excellent movies. Unfortunately this movie is not even a classical example of failure it's just a product of consumerism, see it, throw it away and make space for the next lame one.
