Cynical science meets the obscure and dark forces of the spirit world when Lars von Trier takes us into a fascinating and unique world of the Kingdom, Denmark's largest hospital. This is a real place, by the way. But we get to see it in a shaky, hand-held - but remarkably watchable rendering with supernatural overtones - involving ghosts, demons and Satan himself.

Riget (Kingdom) is definitely one of the best shows to come out of Denmark ever. It is written and directed perfectly, with a perfect cast, and a - ahumm - not always perfect taste. Too bad it was never finished. Von Trier was already hitting high marks when directing this wonderful series.

I would recommend this to anyone that likes to follow horror-comedy shows of odd nature. It is probably more similar to a Lynchian universe than conventional horror genres. There is a lot of irony and symbolism in here, so bring your patience and please allow some silly behavior. It is all entertainment.

I give it an unjust 10 out of 10. A fair grade would probably be an 8 out of 10. The visual effects have aged badly and some plot points were just stupid. But it has mostly held up and stood its ground against time. Enjoy!

Trier's English-languaged debut has been praised by many, but NOT by me. This is the essence of mediocrity: forgettable, not moving, not interesting, not dramatic. There is really no point to this. The cinematography is beautiful, the editing is quite inspired and interesting, but the script is awfully bland and the otherwise fantastic actors and actresses are wasted and utilized in a horrid way. Eisenberg is just plain old Eisenberg; Byrne can't save his character; and worst of all: Huppert is reduced to a boring character with no real depth or energy. It's all so incredibly lame. There are a few subplots in it, but it doesn't feel like it has a real plot or story that can drive the additions. Besides, the entire thing with the youngest son is that he likes to play Skyrim and he writes bad poetry that brings him success with a girl (realistic much??). This entire premise is horrible and made me sad for whoever wrote this uninspired crap: it's a big bowl of nothing. It's worse than nothing, it's boring, a void, a complete waste of time and Huppert. I hated it and almost couldn't finish it. Besides, a bunch of morals to the story did bother me: none of the characters are likable, but I feel like they were meant to be. The journey is not a journey, but a stagnant and static group of characters in a dull setup. It's not bad. It's just mediocre. Incredibly mediocre. Normally, the quite impressive productive forces behind a movie like this can make it count, but this one will be forgotten completely in five years - only remembered by the handful of people that could relate to one of the characters. I couldn't... Five out of ten. And maybe four on a bad day.

This is an honest review with no prejudice. I just wanted to be entertained... But Suicide Squad feels misguided from the beginning. It only puts focus on two characters while ignoring the rest, making them feel paper thin and completely unused. The most interesting characters are ignored completely, not even getting proper background stories, while the most boring characters, especially Will Smith's, get all the attention. One of them, Harley Quinn, is of course played wonderfully by the actress portraying her, but the role has been written terribly - just like the Joker is written in a terrible way. Besides from sketching an unbelievable and mythologically inaccurate relationship between Harley and the Joker, Suicide Squad puts unnatural focus on the incredibly uninteresting relationship between Harley Quinn and Deadshot, which seems reachy and pathetically boring from the beginning. It also tries to convert the two awesome villains into disguised heroes - which is the worst thing a movie like this could have done. It is also obvious which scenes were re-shot as several jokes feel crammed in there in order to compete with the Marvel cookie cutter franchise. I hated this movie. And I also hated BvS and the latest 80 movies from Marvel. Will stop paying to see this crap from now on...
