Justice League - the story is so so.  The problem is superman is too strong to the villain and the villain is too strong to the rest of the  superheroes.



Score: 6.5 / 10

Marvel's Runaways - the story drags on too long, I think the whole 1st season can be told in 2 or 3 episodes.  I eventually skipped it after watching a few episodes.


Scoring:  N.A.

The Blade of Immortal 無限の住人.  There are too many killings / action and not enough story telling.  Without reading the original comics, I don't understand the movie at all.


Score: 5/ 10

Thor: Ragnarok is one of the best Marvel's movies, and is a bit different in the style which comes with some humor touches.  While the Spider Man Homecoming tries to get attention from youngsters, I would say this one intend to give the existing fans something more.



Score:  8.5 /10

Dark - the setting is a bit like Stranger Things at the beginning, but it turns out to be a lot better.  It is a about time travel, a bit complicated but in an interesting way.  Waiting for Season 2 -


Score : 8 / 10

Spider Man Homecoming - this should be Marvel's trial to attract youngsters, hence feeling like a young adult movie.  I almost lost patience and gave up while watching.



Score: 6 / 10

Philip k dick's electric dreams - I think it is the sci-fi version of Twilight Zone, but the contents are a bit serious, i.e. not really entertaining



Score : 7/ 10

the Dark Tower - a young adult movie so don't expect much

歸來 - a simple, good story, with good actors and it is really good.



Score: 8.5 / 10

刺客聶隱娘 - each individual scene is pretty, but putting a series of pictures together doesn't make a movie good.  There are many scenes in which a person is talking to himself / herself for a long time.  In some scenes when there are supposed to be 2 persons talking to each other, the camera only took 1 person in the scene.  There are many "still pictures", i.e. scenes without any movement, in the movie but if I want to watch a movie, I look for a continuous story.  I tried to finish it but finally gave up.

Score:  N.A.

觀音山 - a bit boring, and if watch it till the end, the movie carries a message encouraging suicide.


Score: 6 / 10 (without considering the suicidal message of the film)

明月幾時有 - 睇完 Churchill 睇呢套，覺得好無聊, 睇到一半放棄了 -

Churchill - the movie is about Winston Churchill during the D-day.  The actor playing Churchill did it well and the movie is good.

一念無明 - story is very simple, the whole film can be shortened to 3 min; feels like a government advertisement on how to treat those recovered from mental illness.  Whoever watch it for entertainment or relaxing will be very disappointed.

Genocidal Organ - a Japanese animation intending to say something about government control over people via data.  Rating by imdb is surprisingly high (>7), yet it suffers the same problem of many other Japanese movies - talk too much 口水多過茶.  Need some patience to watch it till the end.



Score: 6 / 10

Blade Runner 2049 - the story is able to keep the depth of the original Blade Runner from exploring the meaning of life to creating life.  The plot is well organised and well written.  It also implies a humanoid revolution, hence the third of this film.



Score: 9 / 10

Imposters - the FBI is too dumb that the plot is totally unreasonable.  For example, leaving a USD1 million diamond in a small safe without any other security.  The story writing is not good, it has wasted my time -


Score: 6 / 10

Dunkirk - not an exciting war movie but it is history.  If our Chinese soldiers face the same situation, will civilian ships answer the call to go to save them and the soldiers retrieve orderly?  Can't imagine what will happen.



Score: 7.5 /10

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - I have just watched around 10 to 15 min of the beginning and the end, i.e. don't waste your time because I have wasted mine to tell you this.


Score : 4/ 10
