Interesting movie ... oddly entertaining. A def. 8/10.
any good? saw it listed in Japan academy awards. Probably watch Godzilla minus one
Does Shogun get better than Ep. 1-2? Is it a slow develop? Ep. 1-2 was just so boring that I couldn't bear it. Why does it have such high ratings I wonder. Part of the issue for me is that the dialog isn't so straightforward for me. Not so easily coherent. I hate that dude's voice. Why his voice need to be like that?Shogun 10/10
Only 4 episodes released so far but my god. This show is absolutely stunning. The visuals alone are gorgeous, but the whole show seems to have been made with a no limit budget. The costumes, cgi, set, story, characters, this one is going after the game of thrones crown.
Am more of McTiernan fan over Harlin, but Harlin's action was still quite good back in the days. I'm intrigued, but I doubt Harlin still applies same film making styles of yester years.The Bricklayer - 8/10
I really enjoyed this one. Not as bad as I expected. Reminded me at times of part Get Smart and True Lies, but of course way more violent.
BTW Renny Harlin also directed Die Hard 2. That's an old favorite, but of course it's not as good as the original.
Cliffhanger is another good one directed by Renny Harlin IMO.
I was on it about the lack of strategy, characters compared to the book - which is what 1150 pages? So it was never going to stack up in that way. As far as technically, it seemed like a good TV production, but well short of a full blown high budget movie type technology/film.Does Shogun get better than Ep. 1-2? Is it a slow develop?

I had high hopes when I heard it was like GoT with Samurais.
Visuals wise, it has noisy images like if film camera from the 90's is used. There is warping in the picture like smearing, fuzziness. I was bummed about the uncleanliness of the images. I'm not seeing anything exotic in the images, some low quality cgi IMO. I was expecting exotic. Poor use of budget lookin at the cgi
