Reviews

This is how I'll be grading them:

9-10: Masterpiece. Stunning, completely unforgettable.

7-8: Great movie, probably one of the best in the year.

5-6: Alright, but not amazing or spectacular.

3-4: A bit of a mess

1-2: Disgusting, horrific, should never be shown again

5.5/10 Okay. I was able to watch this movie in IMAX and I can't say I was super disappointed. That said, my expectations were kind of low. My biggest gripe with this review is that it straight up DIED in the second act. The start had a good amount of potential with the start, as House Harkonnen destroys House Atreides base. But after that, the movie became a slow, sluggish crawl to the end as we are forced to watch Paul talk to the Fremen for the rest of the movie. After the Coriolis Storm, I can't recall a single actual action scene. If you want my pick for greatest sci-fi movies in the last ten years, it would be Zack Snyder's Justice League and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Conclusion: Not bad, but not awesome. Watch Rogue One or ZSJL, don't bother with this one.

TLDR: Fortnite is just better. Just go with that if you want a half decent game with a battle royale attached.

In Depth:

Pros:

• Cool graphics. Better than MW2022 but it's no Battlefield game.

• Gun models. They seemed to have put in some detail, and that's cool I guess

Cons:

• SBMM. Enough said.

• Boring, dull, uninteresting campaign
• Disgusting microtransactions
• Pay to Win Bundles
• Horrific atmosphere with anime skins
• Overly convoluted gun modding system
• Soap's death felt like cheap shock value
• Makarov as a villain sucked, OG Makarov was better
• The new No Russian is boring
• Most importantly, revoltingly overpriced (70 dollars for a DLC)
• Urzikstan as a Warzone map has bad flow and pacing

-Complete lack of originality

Conclusion: Buy Fortnite, you'll enjoy it more, and it's free.

Honestly, JJ Abrams, what were you thinking? This movie is an utter disappointment and a desecration of the great legacy Star Wars created. Rey just isn't a likable character, the movie is riddled with more plot holes that I can count, and Palpatine's return wasn't explained enough. I gave it a 3 because at least the CGI was cool in the final act, despite it being dumb and not making much sense. Don't bother with this one. If you want a half decent Star Wars movie, just watch the prequels or Rogue One or the OG Trilogy. Disney should have just used the Yuuzhan Vong or the Dark Empire for this storyline, and it would be so much better. The Battle of Coruscant in Legends is better than Exegol, ad infinitum.

Update: Dune Part Two came out, and oh man is it infinitely better than this. LOTR, Dune, and the Original Trilogy are really what filmmaking is about. Not this abomination.

Summary: "Somehow Palpatine ret-' SHUT UP POE, NO ONE CARES!

Rating: 3/10 Grade: D-

Roland Emmerich, if you're reading this, it's Judgement Day for you. The camera angles are shaky and weird, the whole movie is kinda droopy, and I've seen better human scenes in Godzilla (2014). There are many problems with this film, but I'll simply go to by far my biggest problem.

This Godzilla's design is a straight sin and insult to the legacy left behind by the Heisei Era of films. His posture is oddly dinosaur like, which seems like they're trying to make this Godzilla compete with the excellent Jurassic Park (1993). He also has no atomic breath, and got blown to bits by a precision airstrike by the US Air Force. Instead of having scenes of Godzilla trashing the army's tanks and planes and making them look like idiots, instead we see this glob of crap running away and trying to lay eggs in the river. Whatever. This wouldn't be a problem if this was a original movie, but this concept cannot be tied to the Godzilla franchise. Godzilla has "god" in his name. We LIKE watching him destroying the city while fighting monsters such as Destoroyah, Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla. Rolandzilla also seems to have no main antagonist in the sense. Sure, Jean Reno's character seems like he could be an antagonist in the first half or so, but we don't have a conclusive, truly evil monster or even human in this film.

Roland, if you were trying to make a different type of Godzilla movie, it might work, but I think Godzilla movies in the very least need to have an antagonist and have a solid design.
