As a fan of Pixar movies, I wanted to see sequel to the first full feature Pixar movie, Toy Story. With the first Toy Story was appealing because the idea of making toys come alive was new. Part 2 is simply more of the same.
Maybe a decade ago I stumbled into a Die Hardfilm on the road somewhere. I wanted to wind down in a hotel room. The action flik that I never wanted to see in a cinema was much better than I anticipated. This sequel A Good Day to Die Hardis just plain old stupid.
Die Wand wants to reveal the essence of the human conditions. Poets, philosophers and writers of all stripes have been trying for millennia to crystalize for us how to live the good live. So let’s admit it: just coming close to what the great minds have said about this without plagiarizing every word is a tall feat.
Typically when we first read a book and then see the film based on the book we are disappointed. In the case of Life of Pi, I enjoyed the 3-D film directed by Ang Lee a lot more than the book, although the film follows the plot quite closely.
