Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: 4/5


Better than the first one IMO.

The reviews seem to be so odd. Everyone says it's good, yet it's not rated very high either

Guardians of the Galaxy: 8.5/10


Well, I waited just about all summer to finally get to see it, so here it is.

Spoiler for Hidden:

I really liked this movie, a lot. For all the people who said it would be a "fail because they're so unknown and it's their first movie," you can suck it. In terms of setting up characters for future reference, this was a great way to do it.


Even though they have only around two hours to introduce five main characters, you never feel like they're rushed into your face or forced upon you. (Learn from this, Spider-Man. Learn.)


Everyone goes crazy over Groot and Rocket, but my personal favorite would have to be Drax. He probably had the most quotable lines, especially since nothing can go over his head

The action is great, especially once you get all of the Guardians on screen, you can see each of their different ways of fighting mingle with eachother.


As for the main villain, Ronan the Accuser, as much of a good job they did with him, I wish he would've been a bit more.... Silent but deadly. It's apparent when he fights that he's a hulking fellow, who doesn't need to do much to send you hurtling across a room, but he shouldn't have to do it with so much taunting.


I also have to admit that while I love htis soundtrack, it does feel out of place sometimes, like someone went into Movie Maker and just added in their favorite songs. I like to think that's what they were going for, but who knows.


And I swear, if we get a Howard the Duck movie before we see Black Panther, I'll go insane >:C

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: 4/5


Better than the first one IMO.

The reviews seem to be so odd. Everyone says it's good, yet it's not rated very high either

That's because reviews are, for the most part, pointless and irrelevant as anything other than the reviewers own personal opinion that doesn't speak for every one else. Sites like Rotten Tomatoes and such are useless as many movies they have with low scores I really enjoy and vice versa. Too many people put too much stock and value on reviews. I never bothered buying into the whole "let others opinions become my opinion without experiencing it for myself" like a robot. Not saying you do that, just speaking generally. That's like someone never eating a hamburger because someone wrote an article about how gross they think hamburgers are. lol


I used to write in depth movie reviews, and reviews on products and services as well, but not because I expected anyone to take what I say as absolute truth or to influence them to think how I do, but I did it for fun, to share my opinions and see how they contrasted with others.




Nic -

Spoiler for Hidden:

I don't think we will see another Howard the Duck movie... The original was one of the worst movies ever made, and I doubt they are in a hurry to reboot it all these many years later. I think it was just a comedic throwback to one of the most obscure and irrelevant Marvel characters to ever exist... lol. It was a funny scene though, I don't think anyone was expecting that.


You know, Rocket had his own comic series for a while with other animals like him in it. Maybe Howard is one of them? lol

Tombstone: 4.5/5


One of my most favorite westerns ever, and one of Val Kilmer's final good roles in Hollywood of the 90's. and I really don't dig westerns much at all. Actually, Tombstone and The Quick and the Dead are probably my only two liked westerns.

[Midnight Madness]

Fury

4.5/5

This movie hits you. And it hits you hard. Repeatedly. Honestly, the story flows well enough that giving away one detail might end in ruining the film for some. Just know that it is brutal and powerful in its theming, and it will absolutely engross you in the characters.The combat scenes are satisfying, the visuals are phenomenal and the historical details are damn near spot on.

I ding it on something I cannot disclose, however. But if you pay attention, you'll likely spot it later in the film.

How to Train Your Dragon 2

Ah mah gahd.
Literally the second half of the movie I was going from ;w; to :'D to ;w; to :'D and it was so feely and probably a great sequel to the first one. It still kept the amaze of the first movie while the second one was still refreshing and made you get really into it. I dig. 10/10 fo sho in my books.

Transformers 4
7/10

(Not major) SPOILER ALERT
I'm SO angry that I didn't get to see Galvatron aka Megatron fight Prime again. I swear I was waitinf for that fight ever since the movie told me Galvatron was Megatron with a new name but NOOO. They have a lame fight with Lockdown vs Prime and whoever else. I'm so disappointed. Now I have to wait until Transformers 5!! YUP, ANOTHER ONE!

I'm right behind you, working out the size of your dogtag to put it in a frame.

The Pyramid 8/10

Pretty much another found-footage hybrid movie, but I liked that it was a change of scenery for once. I really get tired of seeing the same "le psych ward abandoned hospital" story or "le zombies in condemned area" movies. It was entertaining enough for me.

Don't read this last message unless you love spoilers!

Finding Nemo  7.8/10

Too much water.


*Reference reference REFERENCE!*



Actually serious:

Collateral 8.5/10

Wow. The symbolism in this movie is beautiful. I am probably a little biased because we studied this movie in my english class.

[Tim Siguire]

9/10 Terminator: Genisys (Trailer, for now)


Im a big fan of Arnold and I really like Terminator Series. Except for the TV Show... wasn't too fond of it.
The Trailer looked really good and they CGI'd Young Arnold so im even more excited for that.
It stays at Lv.9 until I see the movie. OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT!!!

Nightcrawler 7.7/10

I liked this movie, its about a creepy guy who desperately seeks a job, he somehow finds himself in the gritty and borderline psychopathic world of media journalism in which he discovers he thrives. The character is really interesting, he is creepy to no end and it becomes very clear that he is basically a psychopath, not in the sense that "I'm so evil" but in the more realistic sense of "Logic beats ethics". He will do anything he can to get a good news story and in his unethical pursuit for perfection at all costs, he finds himself a perfect fit for those who work in media. It's a story that critics the media, it critics the job market and critics humans as a whole, that the people who are evil will become successful. My biggest qualm with the movie is the ending which I was not expecting, the movie to me is leading up to a big climatic finish, which never actually occurs, the movie ends abrubtly in a scene that I wouldn't of expected it too. But this is a small complaint in an otherwise fantastic movie.

The wolf of Wallstreet. 9.5/10

The hobbit battle of five armies
It was good but i was i little disappointed at the battle scenes it didnt have the epic feel the series has come to be known for

[LeoSpice]

guardians of the galaxy 10/10

[MrRazot]

Alien 8/10
Pretty good, great concept. A propper space tradgedy and oh my god that cat had my stomach in knots.

Aliens 9/10
Marines are badass and high five for alien queen using elevator. A true sequel by bringing more to the table and some real suspense moments.

Alien 3 7/10
Going back to roots, not as much of a thrill. It was still pretty badass though despite seemingly dragging on for ever.

Alien: Resurrection 6/10
Good movie, constant action, but didn't bring anything new. I wonder if it's what inspire Joss Wheadon's Firefly.
Felt sorry for that nightmare inducing Alien.

Hobbit: Battle of 5 Armies 7/10
Epic battle, that's about it. Top marks for CGI and Billy Conolly, but loses a few points for really failing the bring that suspension of disbelief with some silly physics. Also how the final outcome of that last fight could totally have been avoided. Also half the movie was pretty much "where's the archenstone?"
