Wonder Woman (2017) 

English I was very excited, I liked the trailers and I believed in the movie, unfortunately DC Comics didn't live up to their curse again and it ended not badly, but rather awkwardly. Gal Gadot is adorable and Chris Pine is excellent (almost always lately). The island of the Amazons with the action passage on the beach is one of the best the film had to offer and I liked the World War I setting, which is always good, especially in comic book films. That's where the upsides end. The film is 140 minutes long and features only three action scenes, albeit longer, but it's very much underwhelming and it shows in the pacing, which is quite unbalanced as a result. The humour doesn't work very well, the action doesn't make fall on your ass (maybe the opening scene), the finale is downright bad and the uninteresting villain only adds to it. Too bad it could have been better. 70%

The Last Kingdom - Season 2 (2017) (season) 

English One of the best series ever. The second season is even more polished than the first. There are a lot of new characters, the emotional impact the series had on me was incredible (I bawled half the series), Siegfrid and Erik are perfect villains, the action is intense and the period atmosphere is incredible. Destiny is All. 150%.

Into the Badlands - Season 2 (2017) (season) 

English The opening episodes are perfect especially when it comes to violence and brutality, the series knows no boundaries. But as time went on, I felt that the action was no longer the primary focus and the series focused more on the development of the story, which I enjoyed, but I would have liked to see more action. Still, again, a good series. 8/10

Berlin Syndrome (2017) 

English An internationally praised festival genre film starring the beautiful Teresa Palmer. Judging by the trailer, I was expecting something more intense, but it's still an original thriller from the the abduction sub-genre that tries a different angle than we're used to. A big plus is Teresa, who shows up naked and is definitely a joy to look at. I also liked the sense of hopelessness, but that's where it ends. The running time is a bit excessive and there isn't much suspense or gore either, which makes the film unexceptional. However, it's passable for a boring evening. 60%.

T2 Trainspotting (2017) 

English A bunch of unlikeable characters return to the scene and it's pretty boring. Instead of drugs, they drop a couple of beers at most, the humour has disappeared, there are no interesting scenes and the fact that I had to see the film three times to get a positive report card doesn't do much either. 50%

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) 

English The pirates are back after six years and the longer hiatus has probably been good for them, as this is one of the best episodes. The high budget is definitely evident (there are speculations that it was as high as 300 million, some say 400, IMDB says 230 million, I don't know who is right, but I find 230 more believable). The film has a decent pace, nice new characters, especially Kaya Scodelario is a feast for the eyes, but Javier Bardem as the bad guy was also decently scary. Jack Sparrow is still the same. The highlight for me was the dead rotten sharks, something I haven’t seen anywhere, and the spectacular finale. What sucks is that there are no sword fights, most of the action is between ships. The film deserves to be seen in theatres for the visuals alone. 80%.

Raw (2016) 

English The French have always been fond of these strangely slightly perverted, even perverse, themes and I always love them. The protagonist is a vegetarian who goes to vet school where she is forced to eat a rabbit kidney and from that point on she begins to develop a craving for meat that leads to cannibalism. An original premise that deals with quite serious themes (homosexuality, anorexia, cannibalism). It's more psychologically oriented, but there are a few gross things. It's convincingly acted, skillfully shot and considering the film is set in a school, which is usually close to my heart, I was supremely entertained throughout the entire runtime. The unexpected final denouement is also a plus. For me, France scores again. 75%

Beauty and the Beast (2017) 

English Nice production design, solid visual effects and the adorable Emma Watson are the end of the pros for me. There are too many songs for my taste and I liked more or less only Ema's, the rest didn't really impress me. It's watchable, but the material is so stale that it has nothing to surprise. 60%

Small Town Killers (2017) 

English My favourite Ole Bornedal is back and he is excellent again. This time instead of a horror film, he delivers a very bitter and black-humored thriller-driven comedy and both sides work perfectly. The acting is spot on, the jokes are polished, the assassins are amazing (I won't forget the drunken Russian assassin Igor). I had a great time. 80%.

Death Note: Light Up the New World (2016) 

English Japan did not suit me again and I was quite looking forward to this film. I'm not familiar with the source material, but I liked the trailer and I'm not happy at all. Visually the film is okay, but the pacing didn't suit me, the action is lacking and I'm sorry that the potential of the notebook was left very untapped. I was bored. 35%.
