Well, this will be long so if you’re one of the few people who’ll read this, you have my gratitude. 

Gladiator II is both a disappointment and a decent movie. Everything it does right is numbed down by something that doesn’t live up to the standards of the 2000’s masterpiece. 
I’ll go in depth about what I like, what I don’t like and I won’t spoil anything. 

Gladiator II is, above all, a love letter to the first movie. Ridley Scott…

Dune: Part Two is simply excellent. It’s one of those epics that I really think it deserves to be experienced in a movie theater because this is as epic as it can get. 

In Dune: Part One, Denis Villeneuve expertly introduced this extremely interesting universe and set up the high stakes for Dune: Part Two. He not only manages to deliver beautifully on everything he introduced but further proves he’s one of the best directors working today - delivering amazing…

The overall story of the movie is well intended and it’s actually really refreshing on paper but falls flat in execution. Everything feels rushed and underdeveloped, even if the ending is emotional and sweet. 
The message is extremely powerful tho, and even if I…

Back to Black and Bob Marley: One Love are very similar movies and, both of them, extremely mixed experiences. The main performances are definitely the highlight: Marisa Abela’s performance is superb as the legendary Amy Winehouse - she looks like her, sounds like her and completely nails the vibe. 

The biggest compliment I can give to Back to Black is that Marisa Abela’s  performance honors Amy Winehouse’s legacy. 

The screenplay, however, stays superficial and lacks depth. Familiar? Yes. Bob Marley: One…
