Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: The social cause is an excuse to pad violence around. And a thick padding it is. Anything new? No; including the unnecessary segues, inane sub-plots, comic relief attempts, ill-placed songs, loud background score, overdone slo-mos, and so on. (Streaming partner: Amazon Prime)
Wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list
Quick review: Top-class performers trying their best to infuse life into dull lines given to weirdly-defined characters. Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Better than one had braced oneself for. Even so, the horror is too silly to be taken seriously, and the good-natured humour for most parts too unengaging to spend 2.5+ hours on.
Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Quick review: Gut-churning jingoism, which even the inclined could watch at minimum 4x speed. Not due to the story but because it feels like 90% of the film is in slo-mo. So, can make it 16x because the story is an insecure parallel of the Ramayana.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: “WHY SO LOUD?” Would’ve asked the question if I got a feeling that there’d be a well thought out reason for the decision or any film-making decision at all. That’s how haphazard it all is. (Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime)
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: Pulpy entertainment for the time it lasts. There’s not much beyond that. But, doesn’t look like the makers were shooting for more. (Available on Netflix)
Wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list
Quick review: A story with so much heart told with such little spark. Instead, the telling is LOUD, s…l…o…w…and basically uninteresting.
