Another enigmatic piece of cinema created by David Fincher, alongside mysterious and dark performances by Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig in the neo-noir world.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" had one of the best title panels that I have ever seen, crafted so beautifully. I am just a fan right now. While watching the title panel, you can say that "yes, I am watching something good." Not just that the story and its development were kept a secret from us-like they told us everything about how far they have solved the mystery-but for us, it was a lot of confusion on the first watch of the film. But when the mystery is solved, it is explained to us, connecting each shattered piece of glass with each other, which helps us to understand the whole movie, and that was really appreciable. Because if we were aware of what was going on in the film from the start of the story, the end of the mystery would've been just a filler for us.

The film actually had more potential that they didn't use much, like the significance of the title "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," which could've gone more serious and mysterious but that wasn't much focused on. Knowing it is a novel, but for someone who hasn't read or won't ever read it, they will be confused and will be left a little unsatisfied. And some less complexity could encourage the audience more in the film, because one of the main reasons people might watch it till the end is the trust that they have in David Fincher.

What I loved the most was the screenplay, the world setting, and that dark noir theme. Oh, it's just beautiful. This film even had some cool scenic shots that could be used as artistic material.

"Ground Zero" was a great firework that didn't lit up the sky.

Movies inspired by real events should carry patriotism and braveness that actually reach the audience, and that key feeling was missing here. The story oddly focuses on three characters other than the protagonist. One is a Kashmiri boy, on whom they waste nearly 30-40 minutes, yet it adds very little depth to either the protagonist or the story. The second is a terr*ist responsible for many attacks in Delhi, but the film never shows what happens to him. Everything just keeps happening on its own, like the makers didn't care whether the audience was engaged or not. The execution feels very passive.

The third, and most important, character-the mastermind behind everything, the chief of one of the biggest terr*ist is taken down in a way that feels like, "Yeah, not a big deal."

Definitely watch it to be informed about real events and the bravery of our soldiers, but the performances and scripting are really bad.

A quirky rom-com that mostly satisfies the director and a certain audience who saw the poster and cast and decided to watch it (don't judge me).

"The Hating Game" is a very fast-paced film that treats emotions and relationships lightly. It doesn't give the audience enough time to connect with the characters or their relationship, which suddenly flips around 20-30 minutes into the movie.

Even the characters' trauma and the fake lives they put on aren't shown well. The ending and even their job feel weightless, like the film isn't emotionally consistent. Taking everything lightly is the only thing it stays consistent with. It's fine just to pass time, but it's not a good portrayal of love. It feels more like a one-night-stand movie pretending to be about true love. I am not saying it's a bad film; it's just that it's a good "timepass film." But overall for the audience, it's between "Timepass" and "Go For It."

My enjoyment was inconsistent for this film! (Some moments were adorable!)
