Movie_Rating_n_Ranking

With Red One we realize that there is no need to overload a simple plot for the film to be entertaining. At all times it feels like there are too many things on screen that contribute absolutely nothing. Well, it's not like it's an original plot. Most Christmas movies aim to take Christmas back from the villain. Countless stories for the same purpose, which always ends up failing, of course.

What is redeemable about the film are certain moments of action, the moderately acceptable chemistry between the protagonists and Krampus. But a hyper-technological North Pole, nor an athletic Santa Claus, does not end up working. I feel so sorry for J. K. Simmons.

A lot of paraphernalia for a film that offers so little.

I recommend seeing it only if there is nothing more interesting to see.

I'll start this review by saying what I always say at the end. Who do I recommend this movie to? To everyone who has ever debated the importance (whether high or low) of any religion. Whatever the religion is. By saying this, then my invitation is open to both atheists and religious people. Atheists and agnostics will see this film as a great satire that becomes a suspense and horror film. Religious people will see this film antagonizing anyone who ever questioned their own religion. The question is, knowing if you yourself have been in the same conversation that the characters are having (obviously not in the same context) and assuming where you are on the map of spirituality will be which side you are on.

Heretic's script is that smart. In the end we understand that it's just a movie and that its mission to entertain is ultimately very accomplished. The performances are good, highlighting of course Hugh Grant.

In the technical aspects I highlight direction, with some quite creative shots, despite the simplicity of the sets.

In short, if you are going to see this movie, do it with a high level of vision and if it provokes you to debate with someone close to you, then take advantage of your opportunity to reaffirm or deny your religiosity.

Overall, I am pleasantly surprised with Venom The Last Dance. There were sequences that were left over from the film, but they knew how to add a good amount of comedy with the hippie family and an excellent amount of action in the third act.

The producers of this trilogy probably did their job and took care to find out what the target audience wanted from Venom on the big screen. More action, more monsters, more symbiotes, less absurd humor, less purposeless scenes, etc. But ok, let's be honest, by saying less of this and that they haven't necessarily gone to zero. There is still absurd humor and purposeless scenes, but definitely less than in the first two films. I can say that this latest installment of the black symbiote has been the best of the trilogy, although let's not exaggerate by saying that it's a good movie. Yes, it's entertaining, it has more action, its climax is a good battle with good visual effects and stunt choreography. It wasn't that difficult, Sony, see?

I don't want to end this review without first saying that once again a great villain is wasted. Knull was up for great things, not to be imprisoned in the entire plot.

Recommended for those who followed Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock in recent years.
