[Bukan] Review Film

*alert: postingan ini gak mengedukasi apapun tentang film yang dimaksud, cuman lagi pengen cerita aja saya, kayaknya udah lama gak nulis postingan x))

Seminggu ini saya abis nonton 2 film, yang pertama Man of Steel, kemudian Now You See Me. Saya yang bukan movieholic hardcore, atau reviewer film kelas berat. Saya cuman penonton film bioskop yang suka nyari film yang fun, tentu fun versi saya. Jadi kalo review abal-abal saya tentang dua film itu ya kayak gini.

Man Of Steel

Skor: C-

Parah amat neng? Pertama, saya gak terlalu doyan film yang alurnya lambat, dan banyak banget yang saya komentarin di film itu *komen gak penting tentunya*. Beberapa menit awal, pas Jor-El kabur menyelamatkan diri, dia naik binatang yang gak jelas itu. Maksudnya, dengan kemajuan teknologi bangsa Krypton, dengan semua tunggangan mesin-mesin keren, ini dong naik naga Indosiar :|
Dan seperti yang udah saya bilang, alur filmnya lambat, film ini gak bisa nahan saya biar gak nguap berkali-kali.

Kedua, filmnya gak fun dan kurang unsur humor. Wajar sih kalo liat produser dan sutradaranya. Masalahnya saya udah terbiasa disuapin gaya humor di film superhero kayak The Avengers sama Ironman. Dianggep sesat gak sih bandingin superhero DC sama Marvel? :D

Ketiga, manaaaa chemistry antara Clark sama Louisnya? Mungkin karena udah lama dicekokin Clark Louis versi Dean Cain-Teri Hatcher, dengan karakter Clark yang clumsy dan Louis smart-bitchy, MoS ini berasa kurang banget deh. Dan karena saya bacanya cuman komik Kungfu Komang jadi mana tau penokohan karakter di komik Superman kayak apa #ngok. Oiya, satu pertanyaan, kenapa si Super-B Cup Boobs-man ini bisa-bisanya nongol brewokan trus dalam sekejap bersih mukanya pas lagi pake suitnya itu?

Yang terakhir, agak ironi mengingat mas Supes mau menyelamatkan bumi dan orang-orangnya sementara pertarungannya mengambil scene di tengah kota Metropolis. Scene fightnya hancur-hancuran banget. CGI it is, tapi ya, abis film itu berakhir, gak bisa tuh dia bilang "i've saved the day!".

Well, ada yang bilang, pesan moralnya bagus, father and son drama dapet banget, but again for me filmnya itu kering dan cemplang. That's it!

Now You See Me


Skor: B+

Berkebalikan dengan review di atas, i praise this movie. Cos this one is fun, humorous, entertaining and have nice plot twist. Kenapa gak kasih skor A, ya karena saya gak mudah dipuaskan hahaha. Namanya reviewer abal-abal, standar skor A buat saya itu Le Petit Nicolas, Finding Nemo sama Shrek. Nah, kebaca kan saya doyanannya film macem apa? x))

Film ini semacam Ocean Twelve yang dibumbui sulap. Gitu aja? Enggak dong, karena malingnya itu semacem Robinhood yang bagi-bagi duit buat orang lain. Dan kenapa yang dimalingin itu? Tonton aja filmnya :D

Let's say setelah nonton film ini kita lebih percaya sama hal logis, dan semua trik sulap itu bisa dijelaskan dengan logika. Walaupun ada loopholes, yang jelas-jelas itu kerjaan CGI dan bukan trik sulap yang bisa dilakukan manusia, tetep aja film ini menyenangkan untuk ditonton. Oh iya, buat yang suka teori konspirasi Illuminati, silakan berteori setelah nonton film ini. Indeed, too much Illuminati in this movie.

Shrek Forever After and Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time

Two days ago i watched two movie respectively, Shrek Forever After and Prince of Persia,The Sand of Time.

Shrek Forever After


Shrek Forever After is another sequel after Shrek 1,2 and 3. Still tells about the same ogre but different problem. The story begins with the tale of Princess Fiona. A princess who is cursed and locked up in the tower guarded by dragon. The King and Queen of Far Far Away, which are Fiona's parents, ask someone for help. And that someone is Rumpelstiltskin. He wants to make deal with The King, but in a wicked-tricky way. He wants the kingdom.

Just a moment before The King signs the agreement, there come an information that Princess Fiona has already been saved. So the deal isn't made, and Rumpelstiltskin get mad and have a grudge to Shrek who saves Fiona.

Then the plot goes to Shrek's life. He already has 3 babies with Fiona. He seems happy at first, but lately the routinity makes him bored. He misses his previous life, free, feared by human, and careless. One day, he get very angry at his kid's birthday party. He argues Fiona then meet Rumpelstiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin knows that he has a chance to avenging his grudge, and offering Shrek a vicious deal.

Will Shrek make deal with Rumpelstiltskin? And how is the rest of the story? Just watch it yourself. I'm spoilering too much :D
Overall, i think this movie is darker and more mature than the predecessors. I laugh less, too. Doesn't mean this movie ain't funny. Still, it has its appeal too, yet i love Shrek 1 more ^_^


Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time


Prince of Persia is a videogame-based movie. It made by the team who brought the Pirates of Carribean trilogy to cinema. My first question about this movie is, why Jake Gyllenhaal? Well, i appreciate his effort to build his body for this film, but isn't there any other Persian actor or at least an actor with Persian's face?

Ok, so here is little plot spoiler. Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is an orphan who was adopted by King Sharaman, The King of Persia. Prince Dastan helps his brother, Prince Tus and Prince Garvis to conquer Alamut, an empire that been suspected to ally against Persia. Prince Dastan acquired a mysterious dagger during the siege. An dagger contains Sand of Time that kept by Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton).

During the celebration of the conquer, Dastan wrongfully accused of poisoning King Sharaman. Then he is forced into exile, accompanied with Tamina. These both two seems can't get along at first. Along with the journey to save the dagger they can get along well.

This movie is kinda interesting though i can't capture the Persian exotism here. My favorite scene is rooftop running, jumping, climbing thing.. :D
Sorry to say but until the end i still think that Prince Dastan should not be played by Gyllenhaal. And i didnt see strong chemistry between him and Arterton in the movie, compared with Will-Elizabeth Turner in Pirates of Carribean.
Just my opinion after all ^_^

Coco Avant Chanel


I've just watched this film, Coco Avant Chanel (in English version it's Coco Before Chanel). Such an inspiring movie. It tells about the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who started from the orphanage but could became a successful couturier.

Her love life unfortunately wasn't a happy ending fairytale story. But she chose to be bold and voila, she's a legend rite? ^_^

Le Petit Nicolas


This is the 3rd french movie i've watched. Lately i kinda interested to european movie. They are unique ^_^

Le Petit Nicolas is a film based on French children's book. The story is about the little Nicolas, and the way he tells about his life with his child perception.
The characters of the movie are:
-Nicolas, the main character
-Alceste, Nicolas' bestfriend, he eats alot
-Geoffroy, his dad is very rich
-Clotaire, he's the bottom of the class
-Eudes, he wants to be a bandit
-Rufus, his father is a policeman
-Agnan, he's the teacher's pet
-Joachim, he has got a little baby brother
There are several characters also, Nicolas' parents, his teacher, etc.

At first scene, the teacher ask the class to write down an essay about what they want to be if they were adult. Nicolas knows what his friend want to be, but he don't know yet what he want to be. Then the story goes with the appearance of his friend, Joachim who has just got a little baby brother.

Joachim's situation seems so horrible for his friends, they even think that Joachim's parents will leave Joachim at forest because of the baby. Joachim also tells Nicolas some signs before he has a little brother, such as his dad is alot more caring to his mom and clean the trash without complaining.

At home, Nicolas finds the signs that meet Joachim's descriptions. Then he thinks that he'll have a little baby brother at once. He worries alot about it. Then Nicolas and his friends make plan how to abduct the baby so Nicolas don't have to leave home and stay at forest.

Will Nicolas and his friends do their plan successfully? Ah, i won't spoiler it ^_^
Certainly, this film is adorable yet humorous. Moreover the kids are cute and innocent.
J'aime beaucoup les enfants.

2012


First of all, i'm not kinda curious of this movie. Its trailer doesn't draw me in frankly. So why on earth i watched this movie? lol..
It tells about massive solar flame from the sun that causes physical reaction of neutrino (elementary particles that are electrically neutral). This reaction heats core of the earth rapidly. Hence, the earth crusts are shifted and cause big tsunami. This disasters happen in all over the world mostly.

Well, sounds promising? Frankly, in my opinion this film helped only by its publicities and special effects. It lacks of scientific things, which is i hope to be revealed more.
While it shows humanity side, i still get tedious to watch its cliche plot. Besides, the movie length is too long, i felt asleep several times while watching :D

All above is just my personal opinion (^_^)V
Oh, part i keen on in this movie is the ending soundtrack. Is there anyone know what song it is?

Night At The Museum 2


I watched "Night At The Museum 2: Battle Of The Smithsonian" yesterday. The plot is about the artifacts from the Museum of Natural History in New York are shipped to the Smithsonian's archives. In my personal opinion, this movie is funnier than the prequel (not ROFL or CORL or even PIRL movie though).
But yes, it's funny ^^

For me, the most memorable character in the movie is Kahmunrah The Pharaoh, the antagonist character. Hank Azaria plays the pharaoh character good. He is so amusing.
Overall, i rate 3 of 5 points to this movie.


*fyi
ROFL: Rollin on Floor Laughin
CORL: Climbin on Roof Laughin (????)
PIRL: Plungin in River Laughin (what a!!!!)

the last two...i don't know the validity of the terms ^^
just made it for fun with my friend...of course the undefined one :D
