A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
Heartwarming story without background information
I expected to find out how and from where the aliens came to Earth. Instead, I was thrust into a rather shallow drama with an (obvious) happy ending for one and a quick death (suicide) as a martyr for the other. There were certainly some moments of silence and suspense where I would have expected a bit more depth. Overall, I found the movie rather shallow, with more potential to portray the aliens better. The result can be accepted as the sudden appearance of the aliens. Nevertheless, the questions of "how", "where" and "why" remain. Oh well... Hollywood entertainment that was good enough for the entertainment system on my international flight home.
Dead Men (2018)
Way too long for the plot
Someone here wrote that this film attempts to combine a lot of western related historical themes into a single plot. This viewer is right. We can see frontier family blood feuds, land claim disputes, organized crime, political corruption, Native American culture and conflicts. Despite the flashbacks... or maybe because of them... I didn't find the plot confusing. However, I do think less story would have been more!
Though I was looking forward to watching a long western I do think this story is way too long for one movie. It's dragging and it suffers from poor acting. I didn't even mind that the firearms didn't fit the time the story took place in. But it literally did hurt watching the very stupid and naive main character tumbling from one mishap into the next.
Magic Mike XXL (2015)
Pointless...
I'm supposed to write here a minimum of 5 lines, whereas my summary "Pointless..." says it all already. I haven't seen the first movie from 2012 and came accidentally across MM XXL. Even though some reviewers here say the first one was better... well... I guess I'll simply skip it. I gave in to watch this one because my wife wanted to watch it. However, in the end even she thought it was BS.
