An impactful movie due to its plot, action, and blend with suspense. It takes you on a frantic adventure with plot twists that surprise you.

"I Saw the Devil" is a proposal full of energy due to its great variety of action-packed moments and attractive sequences, where the essence of Korean cinema is captured with an added suspense to complement a totally enjoyable story. It is a film that carries great weight due to its filming style, creativity, and ingenuity regarding the plot and the various executions as the minutes go by, resulting in a final product that is satisfying for fans of this type of movies.

Here, there is no fear of risks, criticism, or comments; the film itself grants seriousness, a lot of gore, and realism, making it an enjoyable experience with scenes that impact forcefully, where it creates a window to divide censorship and the conventional.

The movie has a solid narrative arc with common themes, but with remarkable execution, which makes what is seen on screen make sense. It contains reflective messages such as emotional decay, past traumas, lack of justice, the search for peace, loss of humanity, among others. In addition, a powerful metaphor is presented about revenge and the limits it can reach when it becomes the main objective, where identity, the foundation of good or evil, true justice, and common sense are lost. It can be added that the reference to "The Devil" is due to the villain's psychopathic level, where his loss of sanity is immense, whether it be because of his ideals, murders, motivations, objectives, or simply being the reincarnation of evil. On the other hand, the consequence he inflicts on his counterpart, where the level of psychopathy is reflected in reference to revenge.

The entire focus on the darkness of the villain in question is very well portrayed by the director thru images that capture their feelings, whether thru muted colors, places filled with solitude, blood, and/or deteriorated environments. Considering also that brief context about his family relationship and what might have happened in his past.

The point about the performances should be highlighted, but specifically the development of Choi Min-sik, who steals the scene in every shot. His expressions, body movements, aura, the solidity with which he makes his role the most important part of the entire movie, and what he conveys. The actor has that ability to convey different contexts to the viewer with just a shot focused on his face. On the other hand, Lee Byung-hun is very good at portraying grief, frustration, and a thirst for revenge, all with a neutral expression of internal pain.

The cinematography, editing, montage, costumes, practical effects, makeup, musical scoring, and script are well-executed cinematic aspects, greatly impressing. The work of director Kim Jee-woon is extraordinary; his ingenuity in camera angles conveys a sentimental narrative regarding the characters, also including small tracking shots, zoom-outs, graphic elements about the environment, and more. Without a doubt, an admirable job.

"I Saw the Devil" does not escape the conventional details in its script, some continuity errors, and certain aspects that could have been of better quality; however, the film is so good that they can go unnoticed, all due to the frantic way of telling the plot and the actions of the characters. Perhaps it is exaggerated in many moments, but it is truly worth it.

The terror and psychological analysis of the character Kyung-chul is outrageous. All the chaos, dilemma, and focus on cannibalism is astonishing.

A film that establishes good design, honoring the essence of the characters. It has visually appealing moments, considering the shortcomings in its script.

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is a proposal with many successes due to its main focus on comics, offering small details for true fans of the fantastic family. "First Steps" is a proposal with many successes due to its main focus on the comics, offering small details for true fans of the fantastic family. Moreover, it has certain positive aspects that visually promote an entertaining movie, considering that it is not perfect, but it is enjoyable, and it even fulfills its role of being the best movie based on these characters.

It is a delivery that is primarily based on providing a visual impact, depending on that retro-futuristic approach that shines at all times, it is a section that was done excellently, in addition to bringing a completely different essence to past deliveries both of the characters and the MCU. The good performance of a large part of the visual effects can also be added, where a coherent and striking level of detail can be appreciated, emphasizing sequences full of energy and exploration.

Everything related to the costumes, production design, and the musical score by Michael Giacchino is well executed, which provides tremendous support for the film overall, achieving a notable boost. It can also be noted that it has an effective pace, providing a fun start that makes good use of the time in a story we already know. It is an introduction to creatively summarize and start establishing those connections with the viewer.

Now then, despite the fact that the movie has well-executed cinematic details, it has others that leave much to be desired. Starting with a script that has its advantages at the beginning, but considerably declines as it progresses, adding conventionalities, forced moments, illogical arguments, or very mediocre dialogs. All of this results in making many of the characters' actions predictable. That drop in the script greatly detracts from the experience.

In addition, it should be mentioned those moments with a lack of rendering regarding the character of Thing, where in many of them his movements do not match, as well as the people observing him. Additionally, some of Reed Richards' movements in action sequences. One of the most criticized aspects is the appearance of Franklin Richards, which reminds people of the babies in "The Flash" or simply Renesmee Carlie Cullen from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." Breaking Dawn - Part 1."

The questions, dialogs, and some actions of the characters are mediocre at various moments, especially when the story required better resolution to the problems, which easily divides the viewers. Considering that to be intelligent, one must have more credible ideas. Not to mention the exaggeration on the part of the screenwriters.

In that sense, the performances are decent. I think Vanessa Kirby is the one who performs best in the entire cast, bringing a serenity and her unique essence to the character. Pedro Pascal has a simple contribution, but it is not exploited in its best version. Joseph Quinn improves as the movie progresses, but he could have been better. Ebon Moss-Bachrach delivers. On Julia Garner's part, her role as Silver Surfer promises to be decent.

The essence of the movie "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" must be taken into consideration, of course with better changes, but it still maintains the same esthetic, referring to the conglomerate of Galactus and Silver Surfer respectively. Rise of the Silver Surfer," of course with better changes, but it still maintains the same esthetic, referencing the conglomerate of Galactus and Silver Surfer respectively. I liked that the story of the herald was told, even if it was brief. Adding to that, the similarity with "Interstellar" in terms of space travel.

In summary, it is a movie that has good moments, attractive sequences, imposing designs, and curiosities everyplace. However, there are questionable details that can detract from an excellent experience. All of this will depend on your attention, expectations, and focus. Perhaps a better resolution to the problems and more development for the villain in question could have provided a movie with a better final result. Still, it is the best installment about the fantastic family, and Matt Shakman's work is appreciated.

A horror movie that stands out for its psychological approach, covering interesting themes and leaving very striking scenes due to those surprising details.

"The Babadook" is a low-budget film, but one with a great impact, as it encompasses countless key or important reflections that warrant its corresponding analysis. From my perspective, it is a brilliant film due to its narrative, psychological, and dazzling approach. The attempt to blend the paranormal with drama and psychology categorizes it as an interesting, striking, and clever film. All of this is due to its good execution and the way it makes sense as it progresses, thanks to those details that create a formidable connection with what is seen on screen.

It is a film that possesses a solid and credible narrative foundation that improves with each scene, thus being a roller coaster of mixed emotions due to the connection established with its characters, aiming to encompass a variety of nuances and deliver plausible arguments, in addition to impressing any viewer with the plot in question. At this point, director and screenwriter Jennifer Kent did an outstanding job, delivering a very remarkable cinematic potential, even giving much to talk about every time you watch this movie, from a positive perspective.

The script of "The Babadook" encompasses a complexity that is significantly rooted in surprise, impact, or versatility, leaving no loose ends and staying consistent with each moment depicted. Everything written in it deserves a deep analysis that makes the experience entertaining, as long as you are a fan of this kind of thing. It should be made clear that if you're only looking for forced jumpscares and the same story seen in many films of the genre, this is not for you.

The film covers reflective themes such as parenting, the mother/child relationship, trauma resulting from a family loss, depression, denial, mental lapses, the power of imagination, saturation, selfishness, and the loss of common sense or mental health. Additionally, it applies a metaphor about the unknown, maternal grief, repressed feelings, frustration, anger, acceptance, dialog, communication, loneliness, intimacy, and these recurring themes about the exploitation of negative thoughts that come to life thru the force implemented. On the other hand, a social critique is established regarding facing problems, the importance of dealing with strong situations, the level of maturity, the focus on moving forward in our lives, the recovery and restoration of the family thru the search for the best solutions, even knowing that one must always deal with a past and a lifelong trauma.

For the reasons mentioned above, this movie is incredible because each point is captured in many scenes, where one must establish firm attention and appreciate the meaning of each context. They are small moments that make a difference despite all the essence of suspense or horror. Of course, everything is at stake to keep the viewer attentive to the images.

In their performances, both Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman are quite decent. Each one portrays a character who has suffered over time, but with different traumas. In the case of the child, it can be quite stressful, but that is the essence that is intended to be captured for better understanding, not to mention the mother's expressions. Very well for both!

"The Babadook" is a psychological journey with touches of suspense and horror that is worth watching. On a reflective level, it is excellent.
