Revenge of the Sith overcomes its dime-store dialogue and less than convincing performances through the sheer force of its director's vision.. But for all the clanking armies of iron knights on display to dazzle the eager kid in each of us, this summer epic rings hollow. There's no one home inside the suit.. It is excessively, cheerfully violent -- and it is gorgeous to behold. It looks like the world's most sophisticated and expensive video game, and I mean that in a good way.. For once, the La...

Star Trek (2009) Voll Streaming
This is really the story of how the Enterprise crew meets, hammers out its differences and becomes a team, and the telling is pure bliss.. Did somebody just reach through the space-time continuum and pull out a white rabbit?. The overall impression is one of unbridled enthusiasm on the part of the film's makers, both for its predecessors and for the brave new universe Abrams and his crew are exploring.. I can name exactly three and a half things "Star Trek" gets wrong -- and I can name about a t...
Abraham Lincoln - Vampirjäger (2012) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
The trouble with the so-called high-concept film is that too often the concept is the best thing about it and the actual movie essentially a series of rather rote, progressively more tiresome variations on its premise.. I really like this movie. thank you. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and its thrilling to behold.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Here is the wors...
Spy Kids (2001) Film Abspielen
A winner.. Vol. 2 isn't exactly disappointing, and like all of Tarantino's movies, I suspect it will improve with repeated viewings. But for now, Vol. 2 leaves you pondering what could have been.. This green-eyed monster may be the perfect symbol of an angry time. But he's an impossible hero to cheer.. Just wacky enough and gadget-driven enough to appeal to bored kids looking for fresh energies.. A fascinating, if flawed, extravaganza.. An interesting effort to give one of the staples of mass en...
X-Men - Erste Entscheidung (2011) Download Voll
Strictly for fans on school vacation.. "First Class" happily delivers on the escapism and rich narrative texture the best of its predecessors have promised.. Superman Returns careens along at wild speeds while still stopping for thoughtful moments.. The climax is the biggest letdown, a giant hash of crosscutting and unremarkable (in an era in which we've seen everything) CGI.. New decade; same ol' same ol'.. Preaching mutant pride with endearing fervor, "X-Men: First Class" proves to be a mutant...
Matrix Revolutions (2003) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
The Wachowski brothers have rendered their chronicles into banality, as if trying to imitate the qualitative tailspin of the Star Wars series.. During the movie's laborious opening act, you may wonder whether the series itself has escaped such an imperative. Fortunately, Part Three picks up as it goes along.. Over all, The Matrix Revolutions, the third and last of the film cycle envisioned by Andy and Larry Wachowski, mostly feels as hackneyed as the first film felt fresh.. The Matrix Revolution...
Seventh Son (2015) Film Abspielen
It moves well for the most part, it delivers a worthy bad guy, and, in Edward Norton, it has a hero constantly on edge and on the run, a more swaggering and modern version of Bill Bixby's Banner from the '70s TV series.. In close-up the Hulk is more cartoonish than scary, but when he's ripping armed vehicles to shreds? Kewl.. The climax is a bit of a yawn, but most of what precedes it is vigorous and sharp.. At least Moore has not played a character like Malkin in recent memory. The same cannot ...
Dredd (2012) Download Film
It's all rather surprisingly well acted (Kinnaman and Oldman are better than they even need to be), but "RoboCop" is missing a crucial ingredient: fun.. Compared to the humor in the "Iron Man" movies or the vigilante themes in the recent "Batman" series, this reboot has little to offer.. It's savage, beautiful and loads of fun.. RoboCop becomes less a work of aspirational coolness and more a piece of political satire - and not necessarily a bad one.. For sci-fi action fans, it's an insta...

Mostly it's Keanu playing bang-bang. If that sounds great, go see the movie. If not, congratulations on aspiring to better things.. John Wick is a rousing action thriller of the sort rarely encountered in theaters these days.. Stahelski has created an impressively distinctive, self-contained world for John Wick that emphasizes sophistication and stylishness.. This is a film where every human being is a sack of meat waiting to be tenderized.. John Wick is the kind of fired-up, ferocious B-movie f...
Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) Beobachten Film
This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. ...
Thor - The Dark Kingdom (2013) Film-Streaming
Dancing above a leaden plot and lumpy dialogue, Mr. Hiddleston moves his fine-boned features and graceful body, as if what he were doing matters; he seems imported from a quite different movie.. True, this sequel gets better as it goes along, but that's a very steep climb just to arrive at not bad.. Jupiter Ascending unfolds as a mostly entertaining mess, a cosmic soup of baroque grandeur that the Wachowskis swim happily through, even if few others will.. Enough with the appetite-whetting experi...
Ant-Man (2015) Voll Streaming
An exceptionally smart, brooding picture with some terrific performances.. The cast is better than solid. Directed by Peyton Reed, the action is a zippy pleasure. The more Scott shrinks, the bigger the fun. The visual effects are witty, especially when he begins making allies of various ant colonies.. The overwhelming, self-serious sense that we are watching something Very Important blissfully doesn't exist in Ant-Man. It's just plain fun: light, breezy, simple and enjoyable.. Ultimately, there'...
John Carter - Zwischen zwei Welten (2012) Film Abspielen
Wanted's hyperkinetic antics are sometimes weighed down by a surfeit of adolescent misanthropy. But the adrenaline-overdose strategy works for viewers as well as hit men.. A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.. There's something generic about the digitally rendered Martians (whatever their stripe and skin tone), and there's a corniness to the dialogue that keeps the audience from any kind of emotional attachmen...
Riddick - Überleben ist seine Rache (2013) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
Riddick, an alternately kick-ass and clumsy piece of sci-fi claptrap that puts its empty head down and gets the job done.. He's spent the bulk of his career hiding in franchises, hypermasculinizing himself. We can live with this. But this new movie makes you wonder whether Diesel can.. Riddick's at his most fun when the pressure's on, and he retreats to plan something special for his new visitors. All the build-up pays off with tense showdowns in the dark, thrilling restraint and ominous suggest...

McCarthy has much more to discover about herself as an actor and an avatar and a cultural signifier, and I hope she doesn't get trapped by one role, one genre or one franchise. But her campaign of conquest is going well.. Top-notch effects and a bottom-scraping script make this disaster flick a spectacular bore.. Hollywood is gradually figuring out what to do with Melissa McCarthy.. Feig draws out McCarthy's best, and she's up to the challenge, whether it's expressing tenderness and anger or sla...
Oblivion (2013) Download Film
More adventurous than your typical Hollywood tent pole, "Oblivion" makes you remember why science fiction movies pulled you in way back when and didn't let you go.. Kosinski's personal commitment to gorgeous artifice above all other considerations only harms the film so much.. The mystery posed by "Oblivion" as a whole is why its mysteries are posed so clumsily, and worked out so murkily.. Was Cruise trying to beat out fellow Scientologist John Travolta for the honor of starring in the dumbest s...
Iron Man (2008) Voll Streaming
When Iron Man is zooming above bejewelled southern California, I expected a thundering lyricism but instead settled for some routine CGI stunts. I suppose it's asking too much for a great actor to be matched up with a great director.. The gadgetry is absolutely dazzling, the action is mostly exhilarating, the comedy is scintillating and the whole enormous enterprise throbs with dramatic energy.. Iron Man is the rare comic-book movie that makes the prospect of a sequel seem like a promise instead...
In Time - Deine Zeit läuft ab (2011) Online-Streaming-
'Ticktock on the clock, but the party don't stop.' So sang that great philosopher of our times Ke$ha, whose words are surely gospel to the ruling classes of Andrew Niccol's innocuous dystopian thriller.. Is it worth your time? Only if you have time to kill.. Not for one moment does Niccol compromise this serious sci-fi world, and yet he hits all the marks for crowd-pleasing mass entertainment: "In Time" never stops moving.. Clever and unsettling.. Niccol, whose excellent 1997 film Gattaca reveal...
Maze Runner 2 - Die Auserwählten in der Brandwüste (2015) Streaming-
To wait a movie and a half for a big reveal and have it turn out to be a zombie plague is like waiting until March for your Christmas present, and it turning out to be a three-pack of white Hanes T-shirts.. "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" crams in more lore, supporting characters, backstories and motivations to the extent that it becomes difficult to get a grasp on anything.. With minimal plot development and far too much running around in dark corridors, The Scorch Trials has a poor story:fill...

More than a first-rate wrap-up job, it stands on its own as a dazzling piece of showmanship.. Just like he does with those crummy Sherlock Holmes movies, Downey elevates this rather flimsy material with his sheer presence.. But for all the clanking armies of iron knights on display to dazzle the eager kid in each of us, this summer epic rings hollow. There's no one home inside the suit.. Iron Man 3 has good things in it, enough to please the series' fans -- and yet too many drawbacks to win many...
