The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (dir. Guy Ritchie).

For those who saw Inglourious Basterds and were left wondering what if the director behind Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword made their own hyper-stylized and even more anachronistic version of a WWII suicide mission from Winston Churchill, this might be for you. It's a wild, over-the-top fictionization of the real-life Operation Postmaster caper involving James Bond creator Ian Fleming and starring Henry Cavill as the historical figure who would become the basis for the icon British super spy character.

Listen I am cautiously optimistic about the SotR film (I completely understand why a lot of people aren’t though), but I will say I am worried it’s going to be “TBoSaS 2.0”

I can really appreciate tbosas for what it is as a movie, but I don’t know how I feel about getting a new Panem film with that specific…vibe.

Idk, I think I’d have to really sit down and analyze certain elements of the film in a vacuum to pinpoint exactly what it is I’m referring to. But I feel like SotR has a high likelihood of falling into the same “vibe” that tbosas is in. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I just PERSONALLY feel like it could worsen the experience. I hope SotR stands on its own.

**I’m using “vibe” as a placeholder right now. It pains me to not have a proper way of articulating what I’m thinking yet but I’m getting out of a rut rn so baby steps lmao.

Additional note: while I do think some of my bias with tbosas (film version) is with the actual story itself (a topic for another day), I am referring to the filmmaking style.

Idk this is just rough draft thoughts because I’d rather share this and see if anyone else is thinking something similar. But I do want to elaborate on this someday because I LOVE breaking down films.

As far comic book films go, there isn't many where you'll get curb stomping violence and the gripping of thong covered mulatto cheeks by caucazoid hands set to a soundtrack that has Depeche Mode in the tracklist.

Nah, usually to achieve that I'd have to read a Crow comic book, throw on a Depeche Mode album and watch Team Skeet after a re-viewing of "American History X" to achieve such gravitas.

That's all in a day's work. James O' Barr was able to achieve that in one script that Rupert Sanders has captured in the gritty dankness of the 2024 iteration of "The Crow".

Yet again FKA Twigs portrays a bedwench, but at least she gets a larger role than her efforts in Shia La Beouf's "Honey Boy".

She's sexy here, but then those teeth? A UK thing at best.

Danny Huston is a familiarly villainous face in cinema and delivers as the sniveling, elitist villain, Roeg.

Watching Skarsgard's Eric get vengeance on him was a joy, and that leaves me with Skarsgard who plays the relatable love-stricken Romeo who would do anything to save his lover.

It all checks out here : girl falls for bad boy, girl has a checkered past, they get killed over it. Boy comes back from the dead and trades his soul to become immortal and resurrect his dead lover after killing their would-be murderers.

Worked for me.

Fairly simple plot with sexy scenes from jump starting with Twigs and Isabella Wei in torso-bearing crop tops to Twigs having a bag put over her head and getting asphyxiated to death, all the way to the end with Twigs being resuciated with her nipples visible under her dress in the river.

So no, the film's sexiness doesn't just serve teenage girls into six pack abs and gang tattoos.

But that's there too, and with the majority of the film being a love story, this is the best romance movie of 2024.

Perfect cannon fodder for those still attending the movie theater for date night. And yes, that still happens, I've seen it - though less of it now as the U.S. economy continues to worsen.

What better film than "The Crow" to mirror what hell the Westernized world has turned the idea of romantic love into?

I like how Skarsgard was able to follow up his performance in "Boy Kills World" by turning up the angst with every painful bullet he took in "The Crow".

Skarsgard could give Hugh Jackman a run for his money with displaying the pain of being immortal, and Jackman has made a silver screen career out of that with silver claws.

Twigs is still sexy, Huston is still devious, and Lionsgate still makes comic book movies better than Disney can. Not every comic book film needs to break the mold, but breaking faces and breaking hearts can go a long way in entertaining cinema.

Film Name: Borderlands (2024); Production Studios: Lionsgate Films, Picturestart, Arad Productions, Origo Film Group, 2K Games, Gearbox Studios; Director by: Eli Roth, Tim Miller; Screenwriter: Joe Abercrombie; Starring: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu; Genres: Science-fiction, Action, Adventure, Comedy; Running Time: 1 hour 41 minutes;

"Borderlands" (2024) is a chaotic and disappointing adaptation of the popular video game. Despite a stellar cast, including Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, the film suffers from poor direction, incoherent action scenes, and a lack of meaningful character development. The humor falls flat, and the movie feels disjointed, as though stitched together from different versions after troubled production. Even fans of the game may struggle to find enjoyment in this lifeless adaptation.

Zero stars is a failed attempt to transfer the spirit of the game to the screen.

My rating:
