MovieManouk reviews

Hey everybody, When you decide to make a movie based on a game, you must know that it will only be appealing to a select group of people: the people who've played the game. Nonetheless there are always layman like me who will see it. So you have to make a movie that's understandeble for people who haven't played the game and those who know it inside out. That's not an easy job. Warcraft or Warcraft the Beginning follows the story of the war between Men and Orc and how that came to be. When the land of the Orcs is dying they go on a search for a new home: Azaroth, the home of Men. A war between the two species begins, but not all of the Orcs are on the same side. Will they find a way to coexist? So, as I previously said, I am not familiair with the world of Warcraft, but that didn't meant I wasn't willing to step into this new world with an open mind. I'm a big fantasy fan and it's always nice to delve into a new world, with new characters and spe...

Hoi allemaal, Ik heb gemerkt dat ik in mijn reviews vaak gebruik maak van specifiek drie woorden: het is lastig. En nou ja .. dat is wel waar. Het maken van een film is gewoon lastig en zeker het maken van een sequel op een film die zo geliefd is bij iedereen, waaronder ik. Daarnaast deed ik iets wat of het beste of het slechtste idee was: ik zag de film tijdens een filmmarathon waarin eerst Finding Nemo (2005)   werd gedraaid en daarna Finding Dory . In Finding Dory volgen we Dory in haar zoektocht naar haar familie. Deze zoektocht is niet makkelijk als je je bedenkt dat de hoofdpersoon lijdt aan korte termijn geheugenverlie. Deze aandoening is was haar een populair karakter maakte in de eerste film, maar kan een film over een vis met korte termijn geheugenverlies zichzelf dragen? Willen we 90 minuten spenderen met een hoofdpersoon die zelf constant vergeet wat ze aan het doen is en waarom? Ja, dat willen we zeker! Finding Dory bouwt op zijn fantastische karakters and met...

Hey everybody, I noticed that in a lot of my reviews I use three specific words: It is tricky. And well .. it is true. Making a movie is a tricky business and especially making a sequel to a movie that is so beloved by everybody, including me. So I did something that is either the best or the worst idea: I went to a moviemarathon were they first showed Finding Nemo (2005) and then Finding Dory. In Finding Dory we follow Dory when she goes on a search for her long lost family. That search is even more difficult then it sounds because Dory suffers from shortterm memory loss. This disability is what made her such a populair character in the first movie, but can a movie around a fish with shortterm memory loss hold it's own? Do you want to spend 90 minutes with a fish who constantly keeps forgetting what she's doing or why she's doing it? Yes, you definitly want to! Finding Dory builds on it's great characters and with the story line very simular to the original ...

Hey everybody, Comic book movies . Since the release of X-Men in 2000, which proved that comic book movies can be good, we've seen many comic book movies and we haven't seen the end of it. In the next couple of years over 15 comic book movies will be released. So what exactly have Marvel and DC next for us? Well that's what you're going to find out. I've made list of the yet to be released comic book movies and there release dates to create some order in the chaos of all those movies. Marvel Cinematic Universe The Marvel Cinematic Universe already contains 13 movies and started in 2008 with the release of Iron Man . They've recently started Phase Three with Captain America Civil War (2016), but what exactly can we expect in Phase Three: Doctor Strange (03-11-2016)  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (27-04-2017) Spider-Man: Homecoming (06-07-2017) Thor: Ragnarök (02-11-2017) Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1 (03-05-2018) Ant-Man and the Wasp (18-07...

Hey everybody, When you start watching a movie starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonhem Carter and Sasha Baron Cohen, with Tim Burton as its director, you know you're in for a 'freakshow' and a visual spectacle. If you're looking for that in a movie, then Alice Through The Looking Glass is the perfect movie for you. In this sequel to Alice in Wonderland (2010) Alice must travel back to Underland to save her friend the Mad Hatter, who has become ill. The only way to do that, is to travel back in time. But messing with time is a dangerous thing to do, will she succeed and be able to save the Mad Hatter? I wasn't enthousiastic about this movie when I heard it was being made. I'm not a fan of Team Burton/Depp, even though they have made some good movies together, but not in the last couple of years. It feels like Johnny Depp is becoming more and more an impersonation of himself. The visuals though are amazing , but the story is really thin. It wasn't as bad ...
