Absolutely enjoyable conversation/discussion between two biggest action movie stars of all time. Rivals and friends all along the way.

What can I tell about this overhyped, overrated  hunt for PAPRIKA spice? That I'm just sad. Sad from the movie itself, sad for the audience, sad for the current state of cinematography and eventually sad and ashamed of the rating on this site. How in the name of Jesus Fucking Christ is possible that this tasteless, meaningless, self-depressed movie is so high in ratings? Currently floating in the top 10 (by the time of writing), between legends like Godfather, 7even or The Shawshank Redemption? I'll tell you how. Audience bored and dulled so much due to lack of a quality in the movies for the last couple of years. Movies with the captivating and remarkable stories in the cinemas, that they will go and salute to everything like a good bots if it has good, especially an aggressive advertisement, which this piece of crap had. Nowadays, what is "trendy" or popular on a social media, must be practically seen and acknowledged somehow. You really think that Dune is somewhere near to be a remarkable movie? That it has that value? To be watched over and over again, and every time you'll be happy to see it and have a conversation about some impact on you or cinematography itself? Please, fuck off, would you? There is no connection between an audience and characters/story itself. And why is that? There is no fun, humour, zero dialogues or argues between characters, which would stay with you for a long time after, the moments you will remember. Most of the time, we're just witnesses of meaningless gibberish with the same emotions from the characters over and over again, with no further elaboration or elevation. Instead, we've got a dull music, average acting at best, one of the most boring story in a blockbuster movie EVER, which is the control of the paprika spice and all kingdoms within. Now multiply this by proper amount of absolutely worst-ever-disgusting-repentant masks and costumes I've ever seen in a movie of this "caliber". What a big bad joke this movie is. Same goes for the plot. 166 minutes are supposed to get you ready for the fight which eventually takes 2 minutes, 1 big CGI bada boom, and 1 pitiful scene of the slow-mo worm, already known from the trailer. Amazing!!! It just doesn't make any fucking sense.  Not in a such depth as they trying to impose on us. I've even heard of comparison with Star Wars. Yes, with those STAR WARS :D. You must be deeply unfamiliar with actual movies and their qualities or impacts they've had . And deeply braindead as well. There was no real or believable connection between characters itself. Whenever something "important" supposed to happen, it was served to you with a boring slow-motions, full of self-seriousness and depression. As a matter of fact, movie itself is drowning in seriousness, darkness, depression, mumbling in a fictional language, countless takes of eyes (mostly blue tho, you know, variety...) and a lot of fucking sand. But then again, when you spent roughly around 130+ millions on a marketing (allegedly, nothing has been proved :D ) you don't have to care so much about details. And it seems to me guys, many of you doesn't care too. My honest review would be 2 stars of 5, but I'm kinda pissed and disappointed of this rating here, so I'm gonna contribute more. I watched that shit in the cinema, so the sound was good (not the music), now I wonder how I would react if I haven't seen it there... Either way, Dune was and definitely is BIG. I just can't decide what kind of big **** it is. 3/10

Such a waste of money, time and fights. It supposed to be a good fight movie, but it ain't. I can't imagine how with Jake's body and shape he's currently in, they fucked up choreography so bad. Camera is a disaster too. The biggest joke is the story of course. Most of B-class movies have a better plot than this. Not worth your time if you're looking for something good....2/10

Netflix is much better in production of documentaries than movies. This one really catches your eyes with its visuals and narrative. Truly a must-see if you're a fan. And if you're not, make yourself a favour and learn something about our planet and life on it. 10/10

Too slow and way too "undercook". There is no start to anything really, mostly empty talks about deer situation and uhmm doing something and not doing anything about it. I mean, there was really nothing to observe or appreciate besides nice winter scenery and.... yeah, that's it. The end is weird as fuck. Same as the whole movie. That poster is so far from the truth as it can be, don't pay attention to it. Same goes for a movie description, all wrong and lies, there is no murder case. Instead, the movie here is a one big boring crime scene. Actually, I have a feeling that it was specially targeted for Nordic countries. I think, they will understand its message better than me.

Much better than expected. Trying to pose as an action drama at some moment where the drama parts are not so good and feel odd. As far as action goes- almost flawless and very enjoyable. Nice fighting choreography with good old Statham's english humour. Bit of reminder of his Transporter glory. In that way, I like it a lot. Plot is not so bad as you may think or others will tell you. Even with a good portion of exaggeration, the core is still believable, hitting a modern audience. Scamming is becoming a huge problem and business in some countries, therefore they need some proper kicking and revenge. Dumb? Maybe. But surprisingly works. And I'd like to see a sequel. 7.5/10

Simple, brilliant and easy to watch. Despite duration, definitely not boring, without blank spaces and full of great natural acting. 8.5/10

Supposed to be dedicated to all paramedics of almighty USA and beyond I guess. No, I don't know how hard is it out there for them. And neither do you, you lovely and kind "movie critics", so please, stop pretend. If I want to watch and see paramedics in a real life with a real consequences, I'll watch our 112 or any other documentary or clips on YT and it would be more reliable than this. I was hyped for a good drama with a good story, maybe even little bit of action or crime in it. And of course, even though when my expectations are not important, I'm not gonna rate this higher because of fake acting paramedics. And because of respect to real paramedics. This is a movie, nothing more and as a movie with a purpose of story-telling it does do an average job really. And below average acting full of the same emotions. Anger and desperation. I get it, its an emergency. But couldn't they offer more than 2 hours of routine story which is going nowhere? It's a movie, not documentary! But, I think it's trying to be both and that's why it's failing in both, naturally. 4/10

Part number 4 showed to us one very important thing. It is time to go.... 2/10

Such a loss of potential. Good fighting choreography but very little for that duration. In the end, director has decided to put more drama and depth in it, just to make a movie more than it is. But the main "hero" doesn't talk much and the story doesn't go deep enough for the final revelation, so it's just not working at all. Any comparison to Gareth Evan's "Raid" is really just an insult to it. 5/10
