7/10 Flickan som lekte med elden (2009)
As computer hacker Lisbeth and journalist Mikael investigate a sex-trafficking ring, Lisbeth is accused of three murders, causing her to go on the run while Mikael works to clear her name.

Sarjan toinen osa syvensi hahmoja mielenkiintoisesti, mutta yllättävistä käänteistä tuli ylilyöntejä.

7/10 Iron Sky (2012)
The Nazis set up a secret base on the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018.

Kun ei odota näkevänsä seuraavan Coppolan teosta, ei pety.

Vuorensolan 2. pitkä ohjaustyö on massiivinen, ison budjetin tuotanto. Hienot tehosteet, mutta osassa räjähdyksistä ja muista tietokonetehosteista näkyi kummaa nykimistä, kuin renderöinti ei olisikaan mennyt ihan puhtaasti läpi.

Vaikka aihe ja alkuasetelma ovat herkulliset, ei elokuvasta saada kaikkea irti. Hahmoihin ei saada syvyyttä, eikä suurin osa vitseistä loppujen lopuksi kestä uudelleenajattelua.

Viihdyttävä elokuva, sopivan mittainen ja mutta huomaa kokemuksen puuttumisen.

Myrkyllisen jätteen vaaralliseksi tekemä myrkyllinen käärme. Ron Moss Havaijin kovimpana agenttina. Tissejä ja räjähdyksiä.

Ja ne 80-luvun vaatteet.

4/10 Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Tunnetut näyttelijät, hyvä alkuasetelma. Pakkohan sen oli olla huono.
