The Forgiven (2021)
Didn't suck in emotionally
I don't know the book and this is a movie, and thus a review of the movie. The movie was full of cliches and I had a feeling that it tried to be more than it could do. It was trying to be Agatha Christie kind of mysterious story, failing. There were wannabe characters of this and that which though lacked the charisma and the character. But the trying showed. Great actors Jessica and Ralph didn't shine. Not because they were bad but the movie just didn't work. It got slightly better on the second half, but still left lukewarm feelings.
No Time to Die (2021)
Old broken record playing
I have been looking forward to every Bond since my childhood in the 70's. Always excited. Always excited after seeing them. Now this last one made me lose my excitement. It was so predictable and like an old broken record. I suppose this feeling is not only to blame this last one but a couple of previous ones too. The same storyline idea, similar characters and it just felt worn out idea as a whole. No surprises, no excitement, technically clinical. There was this final twist though but even that left me cold. It was more like time to say farewell mentally to the whole Bond saga.
