"Deadpool and Wolverine" is a disastrous attempt at combining two iconic characters. The film relies heavily on low-brow humor, with crass jokes and endless swearing that quickly become grating. Nearly every line is punctuated by profanity, as if the writers believe vulgarity alone is edgy or entertaining. Beyond the dialogue, the film is weighed down by excessive gore and tasteless violence, seeming more interested in shock value than genuine storytelling. Action scenes are over-the-top and lack purpose, and the plot-if you can call it that-is thin and incoherent. Overall, it's a senseless display that lacks both wit and depth.

"Guardians of the Galaxy 3" is a train wreck of a movie.

The (supposed) jokes fall flat on their face and are never funny. Not once.

The characters are boring stereotypes, the costumes and aliens look like a bad episode of the Eurovision Song Contest.

The rock music that worked well in the previous movies is misplaced and doesn't fit at all.. Instead of the energetic and fun classics, here they mostly play manic-depressive indie rock that makes you want to jump out of the window.

Worst of all are the interactions between characters, which are just tasteless and vulgar. Characters barely talk to each other, but instead constantly bark or scream hysterically, making them seem like a gang of maniacal sociopaths.

The dialogues are flat, clichée, and mind-numbing, as if they were written by dyslexic teenagers with less than a rudimentary grasp of the English language. There is not even a remote resemblance to the wit of the first movie.

In short, this film is a complete waste of time, money, and braincells.

Save yourself the agony and skip it!

"Oppenheimer" boasts a stellar cast delivering commendable performances. But its excessive runtime with tedious plot detracts from the viewing experience, compounded by its lack of engagement or identification with any of the characters.

Disappointingly, the movie fails to explore even the most basic scientific aspects it promises, offering no insightful takeaways whatsoever. Similarly, Oppenheimer's intriguing personality remains flat, unemotional and unexplored, lacking credible depth.

The movie also fails to convey the horrifying impact of the nuclear bombings in Japan, omitting a vista of destroyed Hiroshima or Nagasaki, hundreds if thousand of killed or cripples civilian victims, or the US bomber pilot's remorse leading to self-sabotage (and an alleged suicide attempt) after witnessing the horridic aftermath of his actions. By sidestepping these controversies, the film glosses over the darkest facets of nuclear warfare. The failure to adequately address the moral complexities of arms races and deterrence further diminishes its impact.

Adding to its woes, the second half of the film tediously meanders aimlessly, introducing an artificial conflict between Oppenheimer and Strauss that goes on and on an on... This narrative detour feels disconnected from the movie's core theme and comes across as poorly executed screenwriting, beyond being infinitely and intolerably boring.

All-in, the film falls short of its potential, offering few new insight and leaving viewers bored and exhausted. In light of its tedious pacing and lack of substance, "Oppenheimer" struggles to justify its viewing time and fails to leave a lasting impression. Alas, a movie not worth watching.
