The King
If you imagine history as nice girl this is just 2 hour long extreme rape movie.
Almost everything twisted, moved to opposite or lied.
Characters from some 21th century hippies company who just stopped smoking weed became medieval kings and knights.
Dialogs and overall film pace are horrible, as director seems to be self obsessed man who was formerly focus puller and who likes nice shots over any content.
Topic cleared, all missing trailers restored.
Terminator: Dark Fate
The next Terminator needs to be gay black T-5000 against an Asian Trans woman T-7800 and it should take place in Haiti for the inclusivity.
Film is total disaster, made according to new Star Wars recipes and ode to feminism.
Jojo Rabbit
Another new pro Nazi film that tries to turn everything into bad joke with sudden jump to cheap drama and back.
All is usual, stupid Nazi, proper US troops, bad USSR ones who shoot everyone and absolutely required part - jews, nothing will work without one.
Film is horrible pro Nazi propaganda in the clothes of anti Nazi film.
Horrible pace and lack of any good humor. And lot of paid for reviews.
Watch "Life Is Beautiful" as example of proper superb film.

I'll start from paid for bots reviews that Sony spent so good money on. Just ignore this shit as well as IMDB and RT scores for all new films since around 2018.
Movie is about Tom Hanks playing Tom Hanks and looking at Tom Hanks inside and out.
Yes, did I told that screenplay is written also by Tom Hanks?
He is playing captain who absolutely can't be captain (or even be aboard the ship) in this or any parallel reality, as he can't sleep at sea (at all!) and also can't eat. He also can't get suitable boots for himself. He is like some sick underdeveloped child.
You ABSOLUTELY and definitely do not care about anyone but German U-Boats crews, such bad the film is shot. Of course, film authors made them very hard to care for also (aka stupid idiots breaking all rules and laws of physics) but at least you hope that they are not such morons as depicted characters.
Captain is like some stensil character without any human qualities or charisma.
CGI sea and ships are really not good and they kill the atmosphere instead adding to it. This means that team failed to deliver.
We see horrible and complete degradation of Hollywood, and it is normal as empire is falling and it is hard to make good nice films during this time.
Film looks like some Twitch stream of bad online sea battle game while some 10 year old is playing it and it is so boring for him and all 2 viewers.
Watch one more time Das Boot and pray that this time they'll sink one more courier, it really deserves to lie on the sea floor. Note how suberb Das Boot is, how it depicts each and every character and how you really care for them at the necessary moments, right where director intended you to care.
Small update to previous post
Convoy HX-25 shown in film had real prototype - convoy ON-67.
In February 1942 he had 4 US destroyers and Canadian corvette. During their mission for two days they had german U-boats attacks. Absolutely no radio threats. Total radio silence, total inefficient sonars. Convoy lost 7 big ships and made zero damege to any german U-boats.
Little different to this propaganda shite.
Coriolanus
Very interesting adaptation that has huge issues, unfortunately.
Director (who is also lead actor) managed you to not care about main character. Because they failed to understand how real war hero looks and behaves, how ancient Rome politics worked in practice and they it seems that actually they did not care. They just wanted nice theater like experiment. They made some mad idiot who fight with people for nothing, talks with some hipster looking protesters and do lot of unreasonable things.
Issue is that war and politics in original had nothing to do with depicted scenes.
Also note that english version is worse of them all due to idea to stick to original text :-)
Unhinged
Quite good movie with strange feeling. As it feels like script had been written by some pink feminist tolerant girl and after this almost transparently tweaked by some traditionalist right wing man. I think such feeling happen due to sad fact that it is the only way you can widely show huge problems in modern US or EU society.
For starters. We have nice big white bearded guy (BWBG) on big Ford truck (without Ford logo!). His wife cheated, despite hard work went to other man, live with this man in his house that he cherished and want to sell it. Hence he is just burn it down while killing ex wife and her lover. Why? Well, because system is broken beyond repair. All it provides as alternative is to get along, find another wife who like to cheat, get her and her house and live happily ever after until death will set them apart (in his case - until she cheats again).
Next. We have female unorganized service industry worker with lazy non working brother and new income idea being renting their mom house while they sent mom to cheap elderly house. She divorced with her ex husband because he did not bring enough income and changed jobs too frequently and worked too much. Son is quite stupid guy who mostly plays computer games. Main reason for divorce, as we get to know later - talks with her good "friend" who happens to be divorce lawyer. She is also really hysterical and emotional.
So, this unorganized girl miss her main client, chooses wrong road and at final do not like that BWBG stopped at intersection to think about his recent doings. Well, he carefully asked her to apologize. This is important moment, as script idea is to show that BWBG can be only horrible psycho, so start doing were not enough - conflict must be also rising from one side and from exactly nothing.
Next he started to solve her life problems, step by step. Lawyer did not make it, as well as her lazy brother and his completely useless girlfriend.
Final part is cliche, of course. Yet the only guy you care about in the movie (and this is the transparent tweak) is the BWBG.
Dune
I hope it will next epic fail.
Characters miscasting is total.
