Let's start with this: if you gonna watch this film go and watch Chalice of Blood, don't touch the trash PG cut "Child of Fire". Well, the original "film" was more than stereotypical and bad in staging. The whole film was just a nonsense. From the start, it was absurd to ignore Snyder and force him to turn his film to random PG fiction. Honestly, i thought Snyder is done, after first time watching Army of the Dead(after rewatching it month before this review, i'm quite fine with this film). Honestly when you are 19 minutes in director's cut or let's say true version of the film is already better than the PG cut, while having the same problems with staging(unrealistic as hell, videogame style) it has drama, not only in plot, but in frames and much better direction. Music is great too. Every scene, that didn't work before works now. New version is much more involving, light to watch. The same scenes make much more sense. My rating for the "Child of Fire" 2/10. And as for my rating for the "Chalice of Blood"... it is an absolute banger and blockbuster gold, it is epic fantastic canvas, i almost can not believe how great this film is(i'm absolute fan of BvS Ultimate, but i really disliked ZSJL, and this movie is like JL done right, except having no lore and not having masterpiece before it, to continue the story!)it keeps mark every second, finishing at peak, so it is 8/10! And since imdb doesn't allow us to have diffirent pages for diffirent versions of the films, i gonna change my rating here ;) P. S. Not to mention for a humble budget the picture is like really high budget, rich on locations and beautiful! Zack Snyder is such a Big Bad Elephant! While dogs are barking, he delivers every time. Officially he enters my top of director's, in high position.

You know, lately i was i contact with bad films and tv series, and by telling "lately" i mean massive period of time and tons of content. And you know, this was the most surprising experience. I didn't expect that this film will be so unconventional and lovely. It is paradoxically cute and empathic, though the picture on screen is not colorful and surroundings doesn't add positive with it's look. Humor again integrated in special way and it is really funny and sometimes unexpected, again as you begin to watch you don't expect this kind of approach. Surprisingly good rec from mainstream critic - Anton Dolin. My applause to Mr. Aki Kaurismäki! He wrote a great script and staged it with genuine talent. At first i could not even formulate why i like this film, just mesmerizing. What is it, if not the magic of cinema?

Here is everything you need to know about the series. First thing: it already has 2 seasons and it not yet bad *clap sound* Second thing: i'm not gonna watch S3 for sure and i don't recommend this to anyone. And know to show and it's seasons. Season 1 leaves you with very mixed emotions: though show is kinda brutal, it has it' fun and interesting moments, interesting characters, brilliant voice acting, a bit of intrigue(though it never end with anything interesting), action scenes are quite fine by all means, there are some cool cliffhangers(or let's say things that you think will lead you to some big big cool development, but again big no-no!) but not only that thing, it is all washed up by filler things like: absurd and empty villains, inappropriate goofiness all the time right after or during something really well thought out and serious or just serious, most of the good ideas not only totally failed, but forgotten. But, due to shows original vibe, it really still felt more like a fresh air and something good for the genre. As about season 2 guys, it even harder to explain. Let's divide this season in 2 parts, just as it was with it's release. And as for the first part of S2(first 4 episodes) almost head over everything we saw in S1: not only old staff gets fun development, but tons of new interesting lines, some kind of unexpected(well that what i would say as a pro also about S1) development. Allen episode( episode 3?) almost got me off seat(i'm like Daaamn, and, i don't ever usually do get involved in emotional burst), before they failed this peak moment, i literally thought, this is like in the best parts of GoT man. So this part still, although episodes probably featured the best moments of the entire series, still held back by the same stuff as in S1(though less in this part of the season) but also here you can already forsee thay this is gonna be totally "soap opera type" by again just seeing the moment with Allen development in s3(how it ended). Big "no-no" to this type of development. But as for the second half, you know here is when "soap opera" elements grows on everything and makes it all really bad. Season 2 literally has no sane ending(even OPEN ending!!!!), it just shows you some random moments of random things and like "the end" thing. And if it suddenly became so bad to the end of S2, you can bet all your money it's with Flash speed gonna became just as bad as all other tv series(terrible shows, terrible dialogue, arcs, with no development, plot armor on every notable character and so on). You know what made "The Invincible" show worthy? It is just, didn't feel like another senseless show, where every action leads to nothing, where nothing really important can't happen. I don't know how ultimate can my thesis be, but ask yourself, did you REALLY know what would be the ending of last episode of S1?! Did you really knew what will happen when Invincible and Omni-Man collide? Were you absolutely sure that any of those two characters has plot armor(or any of the characters)?! See, that is the difference! So this series every time had a chance to fly really high, bud it ended up every time like "just good", and in the end of s3 just became b******t! So i rate S1 6/10, S2 part 1 6.5/10(if allen episode would end as it should have it would be 7/10) and S2 part 2 4/10(only because degradation wasn't instant) And if you think 6/10 is the low rating, well, my 6/10 like others 10/10, but even more precisely selected P. S. Atomic Eve special/episode/short is just "ok"
