I can't even tell if Russell Crowe had the time of his life filming this or if he was wondering "where the hell did I end up here", but it was fun.

The Dark Knight 2008
Heath Ledger as the Joker gets all the credit when talking about The Dark Knight, but what makes the film so good is that all of the characters are outstanding and add so much depth to the film.
I'm not a fan of how Nolan's Gotham City looks by the way, I prefer Burton's and Reeves' version. -
Cloverfield 2008
T.J. Miller tries his best to ruin this whole thing but thankfully he doesn't succeed.

The Sadness 2021
This is very solid and exactly what I'd expect from a zombie-apocalypse. The train-scene stands out as the highlight of the film.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 2018
The first hour was quite good with some nice directional choices that were suspenseful (Colin Trevorrow could never) but once they leave the island everything goes downhill fast.

The Secret Garden 2020
Central themes like mourning or the loss of a loved one are only dealt with late in the story, and before that you spend an hour with thoroughly unlikeable characters in a story that doesn't seem to go anywhere.
The titular garden is equally unimpressive thanks to bad CGI. -

The Harder They Fall 2021
It took me some time to get into it but Jonathan Majors is such a great leading actor, very charismatic and likeable at the same time.

Top Gun: Maverick 2022
It's solid in a way that you always know what happens next, but actually I don't mind because the final act is absolutely breathtaking. Apart from that it gets really emotional at times and it is always nice to see Ed Harris on screen, even if it's just for a few minutes.
