A true epic. I love this film. Everything from Ridley Scott's grand scale and vision, to Russell Crowe's masterful performance. The beautiful soundtrack, the dazzling cinematography and the heartbreaking, yet cheerful story. It's a film that never fails to entertain or emotionally engage me. I'm with it all the way through. I cheer with the Roman audience when Maximus succeeds and tears nearly arrive when his demise is a fact.

Gladiator is a masterpiece. It is without any doubt one of my favourite films of all time. Which is probably why I liked Scott and Crowe's similar Robin Hood so much?

I'll just say what everyone should be thinking; Robin Hood is one of the most underrated films of all time. I can't wrap my head around it. The mediocre critical reception and that it's now generally overlooked and forgotten. It might not be the good, old jolly Robin Hood and his merry men, but it's nonetheless a true epic in scale. In many ways its a new Gladiator. Entertaining, darker and wonderfully acted. And the music. Wow. Great!

An outstandingly crafted and well-acted crime drama that resembles those classic gangster films. American Gangster is gritty, thoughtful and immensely entertaining.

In many ways you could think of Alien as Jaws in space. It manages to keep and maintain suspense in the same way as Jaws do, and it releases tension just as successfully when we finally get to see the alien. "Less is more" works brilliantly here, letting us just suck in the atmosphere. The alien is, by the way, perhaps the most awesomely designed monster in film history.

My only problem with this film lies in the ending, which I've always meant is not anywhere close to being as good as the rest of the film. It's a huge anticlimax. I get that that's probably the only way that she could beat the "invincible" alien, but that the alien is basically just lying there asleep ruins the ending for me. It's lazy writing, if you ask me.

Visually pleasing, emotionally effective, edge-on-your-seat thrilling and quite funny. The Martian is a damned fine sci-fi film. You might never truly fear for Matt Damon's life, as he's stranded on Mars, but Ridley Scott injects this film with so much energy and life that one can't avoid grinning throughout the film.

The film is naturally bolstered a lot by Damon's excellent performance, and one is heavily reliant to get under his skin in order for huge parts of this film to work. This works exceptionally well, as he's extremely likeable.

You can spend ages debating whether it is a prequel or not. The references to Alien is most certainly there. But it should still be able to stand alone as one film. Which it does, even if it does raise several unanswered questions. Questions that might be addressed in possible sequel. That is unfortunately one of Prometheus flaws. There are some things that doesn't make sense, and while it is sometimes fine keep some things in the dark, I feel a bit cheated eventually. Particularly the opening raises a lot of questions.

If I am to address some of Prometheus other flaws, I need to move slightly into spoiler territory. Because there are some plot holes or just lack of logic that annoys greatly. For instance, Michael Fassbender puts some alien-stuff into Logan Marshall-Green drink, for some reason. This is turning him into some alien, but before that he have sex with Noomi Rapace. She gets pregnant (despite that she says she is unable to get pregnant), and is somehow already three months on the way. She panics and performs an intense surgery to get it out. It's an alien infant with loads of tentacles. She just leaves it in the surgery room, and doesn't give it any more thought. No one does. No one seems to give any thought about it. She just operated out an alien! Then there is the thing that certain characters could use some more development, instead of just being alien food. But that is to be expected I guess.

Despite all this, Prometheus is an excellent blockbuster and is so far the best film of the year. To begin with, the visuals are so awesome that I'm on the edge of having an orgasm. It's a visual triumph. The photography is beautiful, particularly in the opening scene, where the camera floats above the landscape. It's superbly designed. Everything in it looks great. The design of the aliens, the suits, the ships, the landscapes and the small little details. Everything is carefully constructed into perfection. Ridley Scott proves again that he is a perfectionist when it comes to the technical aspects of filmmaking. Even the 3D looks phenomenal, and this is perhaps one of the best uses of the technology that I have witnessed.

Noomi Rapace is proving herself to be a very skilled actress and her role in Prometheus shows how wasted her talent was in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. She does with great skill avoid to fell into trap of trying to recapture the same thing that Sigourney Weaver did in Alien. Instead she creates a whole different character, who's not as heroic as Weaver's Ripley. Instead she is much more fragile and there are scenes who shows her very high acting qualities. Like the mentioned surgery. Still, she is not the one who owns every scene she is in. That's Michael Fassbender as David the android-thingy. His screen presence is nothing but magnetic.

While it is not as tense or terrifying as Alien, Scott has still managed to create a suspenseful film. He does steadily allows the tension to build slowly and when he finally decides to unleash it, hell is definitely loose. Everything takes a turn for the chaotic and intense. The atmosphere is dazzling, the action is intense, the sound is brilliant, the score is majestic, it's a visual spectacle and despite it's flaws, it is always teasing my curiosity. I want to know more and I want to know it now. I'm hoping for a sequel, because this is one of the most interesting universes in film history.

Nicolas Cage is wonderful. Walking the thin balance between playing it normally and chewing the scenery. It works brilliantly. Besides that, Matchstick Men is clever fun.

Prometheus didn't get the fondest reception when it came out, and over the years, it seems that less and less people actually like it. I still like it, and I think that Alien: Covenant is slight step down from what Prometheus offered. My issue is that Covenant feels like a collusion between two worlds. That being Ridley Scott's Prometheus idea and the philosophical themes that film brought with David and the ideas of creation and so forth, and the studio wanting to show us more of the alien. The alien is cool and it provides some tense moments. The plethora of blood and even some nudity is very much welcome.

So Covenant is essentially just not quite there. It's a visceral masterpiece for sure. The cinematography and production design is top-notch and the visual effects are as great as one would expect from a major Hollywood release. It's just in the story department the film is limping. I would like the studio to either let Ridley Scott go all in for his Prometheus idea, or just hire someone to do a full-blown Alien film.

Not the biggest fan of these type of war films, but I enjoyed this one quite a lot. An engaging and emotional experience.

I don't remember a lot from it, but I swallow these films quite easily.

While being superbly acted and entertaining, Hannibal just doesn't live up to the expectations set by The Silence of the Lambs or even Red Dragon. The problem lies mostly in the filmmakers tendency to focus more on the violence surrounding this characters as opposed to his intellect. Which is ultimately the trait that makes Hannibal fascinating.

I might have to revist Blade Runner, as I saw it once when I was quite young. Disliked it then, and have never bothered with it since. There's probably a reason for why nearly everyone seem to fancy this film so much, but as of now, I fail to see it.

Body of Lies is not necessarily a bad film. It's competently made and well-acted. The problem lies however in how insanely bland, dull and forgettable it is. Is there really anyone who remember this film? Can't imagine even DiCaprio or Russell Crowe fans remembering this.

You can't blame anyone for getting excited about a Ridley Scott film with names such as Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz attached to it. Which is why it's so incredibly disappointing to see that the film failed to deliver. It's a slow film that fails to be interesting in its overly written dialogue, and it's not visually creative enough to compensate for the lack of thrills.

This is Cormac McCarthy's first shot at a screenplay, and this film should be shown as an example of how writing screenplays for films are very much different as opposed to writing books. Film is visual art. The Counselor feels like someone is reading from a book.

Terrible. Tim Curry saves it from getting the lowest score, as he is wonderfully over the top. While the effects and make-up is excellent, this film is drowned in Ridley Scott's vision. This is an adventure that is too dark for it's own good, there is no fun or charm in it. The characters are completely uninteresting , there is no one you can relate to. There is no good hero here, I don't care if the good triumphs over evil. And when I feel like that in a genre film like this, there is something wrong.

The film features Tom Cruise in one of his first roles, but you don't really notice him. He is the film's hero, but he is drowned in all the effects and in the big production that nearly anyone could have played him. Scott doesn't manage to bring out the "hero" in him, because he is to focused in creating the fairy tale universe. But he does the mistake of focusing to much of the darkness. Creating a film that there is no fun in. A film that will probably scare the young viewers, and is too childish for the rest.
