Major Grom: Plague Doctor (2021)

A Russian film about superheroes. Although it's a Russian film, it tries very hard to be American. The film starts with a bank robbery that looks purely American (although I liked the masks with a Russian flair). Then we move to the police station, and if you look at its atmosphere and office layout, it doesn't resemble the ones we saw in the series "Ulitsa Razbitykh Fonarei" (and some of the readers may have even seen them in real life). The main character lives in a dilapidated house, but it has a huge square footage. And so on. As a result, we end up watching something like a Marvel-style movie in Russian settings, except with more jokes. From this point of view, the film is quite good, and for Russian cinema, this is probably an unattainable standard. I laughed at some of the jokes, but the problem is that I'm not very keen on Marvel-style movies. Therefore, I can't rate this film highly. And in general, in my opinion, the idea of superheroes and supervillains looks alien to our country - although it should be noted that they tried to portray this theme as realistically and close to Russian realities as possible, but it still doesn't quite work. Despite the quality execution, there was a sense of artificiality. And yet, I rate this film slightly higher than an average Marvel film - mainly for a number of successful jokes, as well as for the post-credits scene, which is aimed not at a comic book geek who knows all the characters, but at a film viewer who watched the film carefully and can put two and two together.

My verdict is simple and unambiguous - if you like Marvel comic book movies, you should definitely watch this, if only out of curiosity and a desire to compare. If you don't like them, don't watch it, there's nothing interesting here for you.

And regarding the movie Speed, something is unclear to me. Is it normal for him to write it like that?



I just thought that "Бомба в автобусе" should be translated as "A bomb is in the bus," and even "A bomb is on the bus" – the bomb is not *in* the bus, but *on* it. Maybe it's possible to write it that way too. Who knows.

Is it normal for him to write like that?

Yes.

Deadpool 2


Decided to watch them to distract myself from the hopelessness and despair. It seemed to help. Overall, both films are pretty good. I expected worse. The jokes with references to other films are top-notch, and the fight scenes are fun. Cable turned out great (THANK YOU for not making him all biceps!), Domino's abilities were also interestingly portrayed, and Colossus is good. But the disgusting love story is just disgusting. It's good that there's less of it in the second part. This is one of the reasons why I liked it more than the first one.

The Colossus in Heroes of Might and Magic was better...
and Biceps is a bit small if you compare it to the original.

Is it better in the cartoon? Everything was better there. And in the movies, he doesn't really appear, just a minor role.

and Biceps is too small

Yes, they could have made him bigger.

No, in the movie. The second and third parts.

New York (2009)

An Indian film about the USA. There are no dances or songs in the film, just so you know. The film tells the story of an ordinary Indian taxi driver in New York who is simply working when he is suddenly arrested by the FBI and charged with terrorism. It then turns out that the problem lies with his friend, whom he met in college. This friend is an American of Indian descent, and the FBI claims that he is definitely a terrorist, which the main character cannot believe. This is where the story begins.
What are the drawbacks of this film? Unnecessary slow-motion, musical pauses lasting 10 minutes, poorly filmed and edited scenes in the typical Bollywood style. A very drawn-out beginning, where we are shown friends for about 5 minutes, accompanied by music, and how they hang out and have a good time. In general, the film focuses too much on how good it was to study with friends in college and just be carefree. As I mentioned above, there are several rather poorly executed scenes that reek of Bollywood in the worst possible sense.
What are the advantages? Despite the criticism of the scenes, the film is generally quite well made. I'm not an expert in Indian cinema, but if we assume that all these stereotypical and meme-worthy scenes on YouTube are actually a reflection of the average level of their films, then I would even say that the production quality is excellent for an Indian film. There is also one specific scene that is brilliantly filmed, even when taken out of the context of Indian cinema. But the main thing I liked was the story. Since the film was not made in Hollywood, the plot development was less predictable for me than usual. This does not mean that there are mind-blowing plot twists and turns. It means that although I anticipated several possible scenarios during the viewing, I still couldn't predict which one would be correct, even with 70% certainty. The plot itself, although it seems like excellent material for a certain agenda, is quite original, at least I haven't seen anything like it in movies before.

I liked the film, but due to its considerable length (2.5 hours), as well as the drawbacks mentioned above, I cannot recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone.

Indian cinema

Start watching arthouse films.

Yes.

And how would you say Bomb inside the bus?

Funny Games (1997)

If anyone has seen it, please share your impressions...
As for me, I read the synopsis a long time ago because the idea itself was interesting, but I was afraid to watch it. As a result, I felt only indifference throughout the film. I think that the fact that I knew everything in advance influenced my impression of the film, but I would like to be sure.

Don't Breathe



A good movie. I liked it. A must-watch for anyone who respects veterans!

Funny Games



The guys had some fun. Like we did in the expansion. Half art-house, half thriller. Actually, it's boring. I was fiddling with a box of pills for half the movie. Not very good overall, I didn't like it.

I watched the new version, but as far as I remember, the movie was reshot exactly the same.

Siverfale, 0:33 I originally wanted to write a post (about the movie - author's note) and include a frame from the movie.
Siverfale, 0:33 When the main villain looks at the camera and winks very expressively and conspiratorially.
Siverfale, 0:33 But there are no good frames of that online.
Siverfale, 0:34 And it's also not very good when I try to do it myself; all the slyness in the wink is lost.
Siverfale, 0:34 But if it weren't lost, it could be posted as an emote in the threads.
Locky666, 0:36 lol
Locky666, 0:36 you can post it on the forums
Siverfale, 0:36 Lol
Siverfale, 0:36 If you follow the essence of the movie, Revan should post it at the moment when players say, "Well, the quest seems okay, we shouldn't die, let's try it."
Siverfale, 0:36 That would really convey the essence of the movie.

In the end, I made the GIF myself. Maybe, based on the description, you were expecting something more, but now Revan will have something to post...

The whole point of the expansion.
