The plot of The Silence of the Lambs is unpredictable and not banal, yet I didn't find it to be particularly captivating. It didn't evoke much tension or excitement for me. My emotions after watching the film are mixed-it was somewhat boring, and only a few moments stood out. The performances were solid, with Anthony Hopkins delivering his usual excellence, but there was nothing particularly memorable about the acting overall. The film doesn't fully hold your attention, and while the ending isn't bad, it didn't live up to the expectations I had. Overall, a decent film, but not one that left a lasting impact. 7/10.

Played on PC with max settings. Visually, it's absolutely stunning - one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. The lighting, details, weather effects, and especially the sunsets are jaw-dropping. Graphics easily deserve a 10/10. It's one of those rare games where you stop just to admire the environment. The soundtrack and sound design are also strong, just like in the first game.

Now, onto the rest. My overall impression is mixed. The story felt too predictable and simple, which was disappointing. It didn't grab me the way I hoped. There were so many missed opportunities to make it deeper, more emotional, and more engaging. I won't go into details (no spoilers), but it really felt like a safer, less inspired version of what it could've been. Still, if you liked the first game, you might enjoy this too - it sticks closely to the same formula, just in a different setting. Overall, I'd rate the story 6/10.

The characters are a bit more of a mixed bag. They're generally well-designed and memorable. You care about them, and their motivations make sense - which is important in a narrative-heavy game like this. But not everyone is given the depth they deserve, which makes some arcs feel incomplete. I'd give character development a 7/10.

Where the game really lost me was the gameplay. Like the first part, it's very repetitive: you loot, walk, kill, then watch a cutscene - and repeat that cycle again and again. While the stealth and combat systems are fluid and well-built, they just don't evolve or surprise you. It becomes a chore rather than a challenge. For me, gameplay is a 4/10 - decent mechanics, but way too monotonous.

Final verdict: If you loved Part I, this might be worth it for you, especially for the visual upgrade. But if you're new to the series, definitely start with the first game - this one assumes you already know the world and characters. Also, I'd strongly suggest waiting for a discount - paying $50 for around 18 hours of repetitive gameplay feels like too much, especially for a four-year-old game.

Overall score: 7/10. Not a masterpiece, unless you're a die-hard fan - but a solid experience with some brilliant visuals.

I'm writing this review a day after watching The Green Mile because I needed time to process the overwhelming emotions it stirred in me. This isn't just a film you watch; it's one you live through.

The 3-hour runtime flew by in what felt like moments - a testament to how engaging and beautifully crafted this movie is. The story, the acting, the direction - everything is executed to perfection. The performances, especially by Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, are nothing short of phenomenal.

After watching the film, I read some negative reviews, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Many argue that the movie doesn't deserve 10 stars and, as a result, gave it just 1 star. Honestly, it feels like some people are just whining like children. A movie like this, even at its most criticized, certainly doesn't deserve such unfair ratings. Comments like, "It's not a great film just because they made you cry," completely miss the point. That's precisely what makes it extraordinary! The Green Mile delivers emotions that few films can evoke, and that's a rare achievement in cinema.

This is not just a movie - it's an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. A true classic that earns every bit of its 10/10 rating.
