Mammoth documentary only relevant if you are a movie buff or one of the devoted fans. Being one of them myself, I watched this doc with interest and pleasure. BUT... And is more like a wtf in this case: almost 5 hours and NOTHING about James Horner??? One of the best "thing" that ever happened to this movie. How is that even possible?? Lol

Reading things like "a new standard for fight/action scene" or "best action movie ever" comments, and the 8.1 current score on Imdb makes me think and worry about our collective minds lol. Has intelligence or critical thinking completely been wiped from the general population? Is the audience devoted to these films made only of 14 years old? Is there a deliberate will from film production companies to feed nonsense and stupidity onto our society?
JWc4 is ridiculously bad. The storyline and the general attitude of the writers/producers thoughout the film is like "ok our audience is high-on-something anyway, so who cares"? Mr. Reeves acting defines a new level of "wooden" and it hurt the eyes. He moves in front of the camera in the "why am i here?" fashon. Then he gets hit at least by a dozen running cars, jumps off a building smashing himself on top of a parked car below (which ofc he destroys on landing) and he just keeps standing back up in a matter of seconds and keeps running and fighting like nothing happened. Oh wait, by the final scenes he's limping... The writers/prducers must have though that should be enough to make up for the continuing utter nonsense haha. Oh what about him fighting 30/40 adversaries in a room but conveniently being only attacked by one at the time?! Sure buddies.
Now, about the fighting scenes... They were SO bad and ridiculous that I must 100% agree with those saying "a new standard in fighting scenes"... if they are being sarcastic.
End of rant: This movie is basically on par with those cartoons showing 24/7 on kids channel for a 5-12 year old audience. An adult audience with that level of perception is worrisome. These production companies must old their audience completely braindead considering these offerings.

The title "Bosch & Rockit" combine two Frank Zappa' song titles, which per se is pretty cool.
Written and directed by actor/surfer Tyler Atkins, B&R is a charming story about a teenager growing up in the beautiful Australian landscape between his passion for surfing and two disfuncional parents. While the drama side of the story could have easily made this a heavy watch, Atkins infuses the whole movie with a charming and ethereal quality that is engrossing.
The surfing scenes and overall scenery are breathtaking. Luke Hemsworth (Bosch) and pro-surfer Rasmus King (Rockit) did a stellar job in protraying their characters, and while Hemsworth's talent is well-known to anyone by now, King's acting here is nothing short of a revelation. Photography is great and the soundtrack prompted me to look it up when the movie ended.
I read somewhere that Atkins stated during a Q&A that this film is essentially about the heavy consequences of the unconscious decisions that parents make. Well, that is exactly the first thing that you'll be pondering on by the end, but also and more importantly, it leaves us with an important and often overlooked truth: it is NOT what happens to us that define us, but it is how we respond to it.
Catch it if you can.
