Having watched possibly all major monster movies on the planet, I can confidently say that "Godzilla Minus One" stands out as one of the best Godzilla movies ever made. From its compelling story to its impressive screenplay, acting, VFX, direction, and all other departments, this film delivers on every front.

What sets this movie apart is its strong human element and the interaction between the characters. Surprisingly, it's these aspects that resonated with me the most, even in a Godzilla movie where one might expect the focus to be primarily on the monsters.

In conclusion, "Godzilla Minus One" is a must-watch for any fan of the genre. It not only delivers thrilling monster action but also offers a captivating story with well-developed characters and compelling human drama.

As an avid Indiana Jones fan, I can say that "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is the right send-off for our beloved archaeologist-adventurer, Indiana Jones. This film masterfully combines the best elements of action, acting, music, screenplay, and direction, paying homage to the iconic character's legacy while delivering a thrilling and emotional conclusion. Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Indiana Jones, gives a performance that reminds us why he is the only one who can truly embody this character. His charisma, wit, and undeniable charm shine through, making it abundantly clear that Ford was born to play this role. The chemistry between Ford and his co-stars, including a brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is amazing, adding depth to the story.

The action sequences in "Dial of Destiny" are nothing short of spectacular. James Mangold the Director has tried to match the first 3 movies in crafting heart-pounding and inventive action scenes that pay tribute to the classic Indy style while infusing new energy into the franchise. John Williams, the maestro behind the iconic Indiana Jones theme, delivers yet another unforgettable score. His music is not just a soundtrack but a character in itself, heightening the emotional resonance of key moments and elevating the overall cinematic experience.

The screenplay, penned with utmost care and respect for the character's history, cleverly weaves together elements from the previous films. It's a love letter to long-time fans, with subtle references and nods that only true Indy aficionados will catch. The story is engaging, filled with unexpected twists and turns, and provides a satisfying narrative arc for our hero. The direction by James Mangold deserves special praise for capturing the essence of the Indiana Jones franchise while pushing the boundaries of what an adventure film can be. The film's visual style is breathtaking, transporting audiences to exotic locations and ancient ruins, all beautifully shot.

Critics may argue that the film relies too heavily on nostalgia, but I believe that this is precisely what makes it so special. "Dial of Destiny" is a heartfelt farewell to a character who has been a part of our lives for decades. It's a love letter to the fans who have followed Indy's adventures from the very beginning. To those who have grievances with the film, I can only say this: sometimes, our expectations can be so high, and our attachment to a character so strong, that it's challenging for any film to meet them. "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" may not reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't need to. It honours the spirit of adventure, archaeology, and heroism that made us fall in love with Indiana Jones in the first place.

In conclusion, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is a befitting end to the Indiana Jones saga. It's a film that celebrates the character's enduring legacy, offers a thrilling cinematic experience, and tugs at the heartstrings of fans. It reminds us that, sometimes, a great film doesn't have to redefine a genre; it just needs to remind us why we fell in love with it in the first place. This is an ode to Indiana Jones that fans will cherish for years to come.

Knives out was intelligent, intriguing with quirky characters and surprising twists. If you enjoyed Knives out, you will enjoy the 'Glass Onion' as well'. There were portions in the movie where i wanted to forward and know who the perpetrator was.

I wanted to highlight something to all the movie fans. There are different types of critiques and movie lovers who enjoy different genres. Then there are who nit pick and want the screenplay, story to be at the pinnacle of their 'perfection'. Ignore those people and don't go by their reviews.

You will enjoy this movie if you have a taste for a unique, different thriller story.
