The Reef: Stalked (2022)
Not as good as the original Reef but ....
Not deserving of the bad reviews listed here. The original is my favorite shark film next to Jaws. Way better than most other shark films being put out. This new film is not in that league but it was a great watch.
Bad Santa 2 (2016)
I wanted to walk out of this horrible film
I'm a huge fan of the original. I was really looking forward to this when it was first announced. I cannot believe they released this pile of garbage. Three times the vulgarity of the original with absolutely NONE of the humor or charm that made it a classic. Every other word is "fuck" and for no apparent reason. It's like a 10 year old wrote this script. No wait, that's an insult to 10 year olds. I LOVE politically incorrect films and things that offend as long as there is comedy involved. This movie had zero laughs. I sat in a half empty theater and not one person made a sound through the entire film other than a few groans. What a let down. I did everything I could not to walk out. I guess I hoped it would get better. It didn't.
Jurassic World (2015)
Delivers where last year's Godzilla, failed.
Spoilers - To be honest, I had low expectations going into this film. The lack of returning "Stars" from the other three films was sort of a let down but I have to say, Jurassic World blew me away. Even though I was hoping for some familiar faces, I was really going to see this film for one reason. Dinosaurs. And this film delivered all kinds of dinosaurs, both old and new. Sure, there's some plot holes and you really need to have a suspension of disbelief at some moments but that was the case with the original and it's sequels. I don't go to see Star Wars, Godzilla or Indiana Jones and pick it apart for it's realism or lack of, either. It's a fantasy ride and that's how one should approach it. I am also a huge fan of the other 3 JP films including JP3 which I see some folks bashing in their reviews here. I've also noticed a lot of people bashing Peter Jackson's Kong on that particular page. I'm not sure what their tastes are but I'm a huge fan of old monster films like Universal Monsters, King Kong, Godzilla, Jaws and Dino films like The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Valley of Gwangi and One Million Years BC. I thought Jackson nailed it with his version of KK as he's a huge fan and made a film he wanted to see and I feel the filmmakers behind Jurassic World nailed it as they realized what was most important...tons of DINO ACTION. Unlike last year's Godzilla, JW gives a majority of screen time to dino carnage. This is probably the scariest of the 4 Jurassic films and the ending was the grandest of all the films. Great ending. The T-Rex is supposedly the same T-Rex from the original. I loved the little cameos by Jeff Goldblum in the background on the cover of books, etc. I loved the homages to the original film by revisiting the original complex and using the original jeeps. The homage to Jaws. I thought Chris Pratt did a great job. All in all, it was a huge success in my eyes. I can't wait for the Blu-ray and I hope they continue with more sequels.
