A review on (idlebrain.com) Jeevi's reviews

Was just crawling through some movie pages and landed on a review of V for Vendetta by Jeevi. Thats right, the idlebrain.com jeevi. If you are reading on, I assume you have seen V for Vendetta.

Now, V for V is not a simple plot. The movie is more than just a movie. Its based on a graphic novel, about V and his efforts to uproot a totalitarian state. Implied or otherwise, it was talking about issues like hierarchy and Anarchy indirectly. Now, if you know about sociology then it would appeal more to you. The movie is definitely not about SFX.

My Review on JEEVI's reviews

I was surprised to see this review (http://www.jeevimovie.com/dvd-vforvendetta.html). This guy, JEEVI, seemed popular among some circles about movie reviews and thats what idlebrain.com about. Reviews.

"I liked the basic plot of the film. It is all about what is an idea. The protagonist says that idea has no shape. That is the reason why he chooses to be masked and prefers to be known to the men only as V. The director handles the film very deftly by connecting the past of V with the future of V in the most logical way"

Now this asshole, JEEVI, has no clue what it is all about. To him, the movie is about this guy having no name and how well the 'director' connected V's past with his future. Truly amazing!!
Plus, I thought that the screenwriters do that job. This guy doesnt know how films are made in the first place. Fuck! I cant believe people actually read this guy's reviews.

and then, he goes on with this - "The best thing about this film are the great dialogues"

To him, the best part is the dialouge. Well, then i thought maybe this guy had some nice picks from the film. But look what this dork picks :

1. Artists create the lies to tell the truth. Politicians tell the lies to bury the truth.
2. Creedy: Why don’t you die? (After firing innumerous rounds of ammo on V) V: Beneath this mask, there is no flesh. There are ideas. Ideas are bulletproof.
3. Doc: Are you going to kill me? V: I killed you 10 minutes ago (then shows the syringe using which he injected virus in her)

Surprised that you couldnt find 'people should not be afraid of the governments, but governments should be afraid of their people' ? Thats because this sorry SOB does not know how to write reviews.
Then comes the funniest part - the 'tailpiece'.

"Tailpiece: V hijacks a TV station and plays a prerecorded video that exposes the government and reveals his identity. A similar scene is there in Shankar’s Bharateeyudu where Kamal Hassan addresses the entire AP by hijacking a popular TV channel"

Sorry Jeevi, V does not 'reveal his identity' anywhere. Also, 'expose the government' ? You dork, what does he 'expose' about the government?. He takes responsibility for blasting the Old Bailey.
This SOB, jeevi, doesnt know that V for Vendetta comics came out from 1982 -88. V for V and bharateeyudu...Truly amazing work,Jeevi. I dont understand how you pull of writing reviews inspite the fact that you dont know how to watch a film! Fuck - you dont know what the gunpowder treason is, what it meant to V and his ideology and you write a review about the movie? Bravo!!
The best part is his rating for V for Vendetta - which is 4/5 (which translates - rent this DVD) and entertainment quotient = 50% !! Amazing work you gay bastard.

No wonder you would find a rating like 4/5 in idlebrain.com for a movie that sucks absolutely; Cos the guy who writes them is a total asshole who does not understand what movies are.
All these guys only know from which movie some new movie is adapted, etc etc. These guys know a lot of trivia and think that they know how to write reviews.

Jeevi, trivia is NOT review.
Jeevi, quit writing reviews. Stop bullshitting yourself. Jeevi, stop thinking that you know how to write reviews. You dont.

SainiKUDU

Movie wise: [1.5/5]
Commercially : [2/5]
Songs : [3/5] Not bad
Value for money: mixed feeling. loss ultimately.
How long was the movie : 6-8 hours
Why watch? - to understand that okkadu team can only do it once - Okkadu.

Story:
Intended : Medical student fighting against corrpution.
Actual : Nothing near to intended.

This movie is a clear case in which the screenwriter fucked it all up. The director shares the award to fuck up the movie also. If you want to see how a bad screenplay destroys a movie, this is it. Its all in patches. Poor casting. Did the movie have a casting team at all?
SFX: Yes, lots of it - but for what? You would appreciate SFX if it elevates the overall quality of the movie. This movie, again, is an example of inappropriate,pointless SFX usage. Even without it, it would not have made a bit fo difference. Money squandered.
Songs were mis-timed, poorly directed. Felt sad for the limited imagination of the team in making the video for songs.
Imagine 'Orugalluke pilla' on a train or something. Come on i bet you knew that song was 'inspired' from Dil-se's chaiyya chaiyya.

It would have been a serious theme , but they made it into a comic by portraying the Villan as a cartoon. No need of a heroine in this one - but again, you guys always wanted heroines, else you would not watch movies kada.
I wish there was Jr.NTR in this movie. Atlest then i would have had some sadictic enjoyment ; but i was deprived of that little joy too.
Trisha was again mis-casted bigitme. I am bored of watching her again as 'the innocent girl'.

Overall : disappointement ,crap

Don

Movie wise: [0.5/5]
Commercially : [3/5] (why would you need this at all? but still..) S
Songs : [0.75/5] Cannot listen to each track for more than a few seconds
Value for money: loss. a McChicken would be a better investment
How long was the movie : 8-10Hours
Why watch? - when you make the mistake of thinking that faran akhtar makes good movies

Story:
Old Don - Old climax + new climax = new don
running length of new climax is 5mins. New climax = Don survives..

Artists Performance: Shah rukh Khan- normal. Very normal. He's getting old.

Songs - suck bigtime. Not even worth a CD release. Shankar-eshan-Loy should have been given a chance to do some music.

Positives: Again, the photography was good. Not just this movie, the average photography quality has improved.

Negatives: Don.

Stalin

Movie wise: [0.5/5]
Commercially : [3/5] (why would you need this at all? but still..)
Songs : [0.25/5]
Why watch? - worth viewing for sadistic pleasure.

Story:
The story is a one liner. The protagonist asks people to help 3 other people and it goes on.
Not worth dragging for 3 hours.

Artists Performance:
Chiranjeevi - It is time he takes a gap of 20 years from movies. He is overly horizontally disproportionate, too old for the role (maybe he should have been the brother/father of the hero). He is slowly picking threads of rajnikanth in dances. Soon he will take on Krishna.

Others - Not worth talking about. But i want to point that Prakash Raj,as usual, did a good job. He is a potential candidate for my movie. Note the use of 'potential'.

Songs - suck bigtime. Not even worth a CD release. Mani sharma tries to do original music here.

Screenplay - The screenwriter lost it right after the begining titles.

Direction [,etc] - He should retire from movies. He will be fit for TV serials with a little effort.

Positives: The photography, particularly in 2 scenes, was impressive. The war was shown very poorly, but photography is good. The second one is a night shot car chase sequence.

Negatives: Everything else.
