  Cruella 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Viktor Prentovski 16 Jun 2021

  Vprento’s 2021 Movies: Best to Worst

  What seemed like a completely unnecessary cash-grab back when it was first announced turned out to be a really fun experience, very reminiscent of "The Devil Wears Prada".

  The story in "Cruella" is mostly what you'd expect from a movie like this, with a few little surprises here and there. The tone is delightfully over-the-top, while the costumes are amazing and definitely award-worthy.

  However, the main reason why I liked "Cruella" as much as I did were the two main performances. The acting by Emma Stone as Estella/Cruella is superb and Emma Thompson is brilliant as the villainous Baroness.

  In the Heights 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Viktor Prentovski 15 Jun 2021

  Vprento’s 2021 Movies: Best to Worst

  "In the Heights" is my favorite movie of 2021, and how can it not be, when the songs are this catchy, when the story is this captivating, when the characters are this fun, and last but certainly not least, when the energy is so, so infectious.

  I am in the minority of people who don't like this movie. It just didn't click with me.

  Top 5 reasons why:
  1.John Cusack's character is incredibly annoying and him breaking the fourth wall has no real place or need in the story, which is lackluster by itself.
  2.All relationships were incredibly boring. Only his current one with Laura was okay.
  3.The editing was bad in my opinion. It was really boring at times and it lasted way too long.…

  Akira 1988

  ★★ Watched by Viktor Prentovski 19 Jul 2014 2

  Akira was one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. The movie looks gorgeous, no doubt. But I found everything else lacking. The beginning was okay, the stuff with the bike gangs, but then it turned into a really weird sci-fi movie. No doubt it's influential, but I really didn't like it. Sorry.
