F9 (2021)
Couldn't get any worse
Top 10 worst movie ever. Possibly top 5 actually. That was complete nonsense. Unbelievable crap.
Der Schuh des Manitu (2001)
Excellent movie for native speakers
To appreciate the full nuances of this movie a very good grasp of German and particularly Bavarian slang is a must. Without it it's simply an average slapstick comedy and any review of it is destined to miss the mark. The movie simply lives from the German dialogue, especially the slang. I'd say watch it in English or subtitles, by all means, but don't write a review since you probably missed 50% of the real funny stuff. It'd be the same as writing a review about the German dubbed version of Romeo and Juliet. Why bother?
Der Bockerer (1981)
Very powerful Austrian movie
Only Austrians could ever fully appreciate the story, the characters, the actors, the pwerformances, the viennese nuances and the history portrayed in this milestone movie. Which is truly a shame. It is impossible to translate or correlate this one of a kind movie but at least it serves all Austrians as a timeless reminder of dark times and the character qualities ordinary people show in a time of crisis, both good and bad. This is a must see like the "Great dictator" by Charlie Chaplin, just for Austrian audiences. Must see. Highly recommended for the newer generation!
Blood of Redemption (2013)
Very cheaply made action flick with a surprisingly well known cast
I really don't know what happened here, how such a great cast could end up in such an astonishingly bad movie. I don't think I can name one good thing about this movie. It is very cheaply made and glaringly obvious so. Horrible action scenes, terrible storyline, amazingly bad CGI effects, i mean REALLY amazingly bad effects, as if they came straight out of a Commodore 64. Example being a pistol shot being fired with very bad muzzle fire effect, next scene a metallic! entry hole appears in wood!, cut scene to a surprised actor, cut again to same shot as before but now the metallic entry hole in the wood has disappeared. Things like that spread throughout the whole movie on a constant basis, it is just painful! Another example is someone getting shot while carrying a rifle, cut scene to the murderer, cut scene back to the body on the floor with a pistol lying next to him..... Most glaring error i have EVER seen in a movie. Like someone in another review said, it feels like a Telenovela, a very bad Telenovela.
I just can't comprehend how actors like Dolph Lundgren and Vinnie Jones ended up in a movie like this. Vinnie Jones! That just hurts!
