Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
If You've seen the second trailer, you've seen everything
First of all Batman and Superman are my childhood heroes but i'm not going to say this movie is amazing just for the sake of batman and superman being in one movie. Batman Vs Superman at times feels like an 2 and half hour extended trailer to promote the next movie.
The problem with the Batman Vs Superman is that it attempted to do what Marvel did, in only 2hrs and 30 min. The story is so discombobulated and messy and not to mention poorly structured at times. It tries to cram in too many things instead of taking its time. With that being said, the movie still has something that gets you through the whole thing and keeps you entertained despite some of the pacing problems and directorial issues.
Ben Affleck absolutely nails it as Batman and Bruce Wayne and i cant wait to see him in a solo film because he delivered the batman we have all been waiting for! I don't think Henry Cavil is better than Christopher Reeves but he works for Zack Snyder's world so i somewhat enjoyed his performance.
There was an annoying over abundance of Lois Lane scenes that were completely unnecessary and could of easily been replaced with scenes of batman.
I cannot believe that Zack Snyder was handed the property of Batman Vs Superman, a movie with two of the most iconic heroes in pop culture, and had the audacity to fill up the movie with so many flaws to the point it over shadowed the whole thing. I really hope DC get their sh*t together and stop being so concerned with catching up to Marvel.
If you've seen the second trailer for the movie, you really have seen the whole film. The second trailer to me it isn't a trailer, its a short film basically summarising a 2 and a half hour movie in only 2 minutes. The movie starts off good but then takes a turn and becomes a CGI fest.
You should still see the movie. Its not bad and there are great scenes it in it. Visually the movie looks amazing and the movie as a whole will keep you entertained but you will notice a lot of lazy writing and how messy the plot is. The movie is OKAY but there really isn't anymore surprises due to the over promotion of footage that was released.
Chapter 27 (2007)
Cant Believe The Academy didn't even nominate this amazing performance
Chapter 27 is one of those films where the performance steals the show but the storyline and directing only partially do the film justice. So i will be mainly talking about Jared Letos performance in this film.
Jared Leto truly loves the art of acting, every role he plays he transforms himself to the point hes unrecognisable. His scary transformation into becoming one of the most hated men on the planet was nothing short of amazing. Jared Leto plays Mark David Chapman a.k.a the guy who killed John Lennon (R.I.P) and my oh my did Jared absolutely scare the hell out of me.
Everything from the mannerisms to his disturbing yet eerie smile, his awkward yet disturbing behaviour to those creepy yet eccentric eyes of his was amazing. Jared truly captures this person in a way that there isn't even on hint of Jared and thats why he's one of my favourite method actors.
Jared put his body through hell for this performance (he put on 30 kg) and gave us one of the most eerie yet disturbing performances I've ever seen but what makes me sad is that a stellar performance like this was placed in a film that did poorly at the box office, it absolutely pains me that the academy didn't even recognise this Oscar worthy performance, he should of at least got a nomination for it. This performance is up there with Heath Ledger's Joker and Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins).
All round good film, nice soundtrack, AMAZING PERFORMANCE, nice cinematography and decently intriguing story. 7/10
Non-Stop (2014)
An Edge Of Your Seat Type Movie!!
Look ill keep this simple and straight to the point. Its 2014 and only like 5 movies have "thrilled" me or put me on the "edge" of my seat (i was in my bed so i cant relate but you get the point).
Now this movie yes this freaking movie, man where do i start. Its one of those movies that keep you glued to it the whole time because you sit there so eagerly wanting to see what happens next. Liam Neeson is phenomenal in this film and everything he does in this movie is going to keep you biting your nails. Id say its slightly predictable but not too predictable to the point you know whats going to happen in every scene.
Bottom line is sit your ass down, grab popcorn or pods (pods go off), get comfy and enjoy this oh and clip your nails before watching cause this because you'll probably bite them. 8/10
Grown Ups 2 (2013)
What Happened??
Seriously what happened? What happened to the Adam Sandler i use to know. Happy Gilmore, billy Madison, Mr deeds.....remember when those were actually and genuinely funny? I think Adam Sandler has really lost his humor now. Honestly this movie has a bunch of 30-40 year old acting like a bunch of children, the humor is just really dry and awful and quite frankly makes the actors look stupid and to top it all off...WHAT A STUPID STORY LINE!!!.
Poor directing, great actors and actresses that humiliated themselves in this movie, bad story line. Grown Ups 1 was decent but this was just a waste of time. Not worth watching in theaters and not worth buying, hell maybe its not even worth renting and god its probably not even worth pirating it!
Don't waste and Hour and a Half of your life watching this garbage. Adam Sandler love you mate but honestly what happened.
Norbit (2007)
Im Dying Of Laughter!!
This is just too funny. I've watched it over 100 times and still continues to crack me up. Don't listen to those movie critics who are giving this film a really bad name. Yes this has got racist and obese jokes but seriously get a sense of humor. Or if you can look past it then i guarantee you'll have a really fun time watching this film. Comedy's that star Eddie Murphy in them are just too funny. Resputia was funny, Norbit was funny, Mr Wong was funny, the latimores were funny...EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY. The way Norbit tries to find ways to get away from Resputia and have a good time with Kate is hilarious.
This deserve not a 3/10 but maybe a 5/10 or a 6/10. Guys seriously please ignore what these other critics are saying because there wrecking the comedy of this movie. But please brace yourself for a jam packed time of ridiculous LAUGHTER!
Dredd (2012)
Loved it!!
This film right here is one hell of a good action movie. I loved the intensity, the action, the acting and everything about it. Judge Dredd was serious, tough, superior and one man you do NOT want to mess with. I also like the fact that this isn't a movie that's got alien ships ,ufo's, weird looking freakish monsters and all that other stuff you would normally see in a Sc-Fi movie. This is a movie has gangs, corruption, narcotics, the buildings are all dusty and broken and it's as if it was a ghost town and those type of elements give this Sc-Fi movie a much more deeper, darker feel to it. This is one hell of a good remake since the 1995 version which stared Stallone considering Stallone didn't do his best performance. This is movie is jam packed with Guns,explosions,blood splatters and everything else that makes a great action movie. Defiantly a 10/10
Taken 2 (2012)
An enjoyable film
When i watched the first taken it was spectacular. Great acting, loads of action, it was original and suspenseful. Now when i heard taken 2 was going to come out, i really couldn't wait to watch it. But Taken 2 was not better than the first one. I'm not going to lie to you, it was a very enjoyable film but did not have the same originality as the first one. It was identical to the first one and the movie was rushed.
This movie had action, good acting and the scene where Bryan Mills was coordinating Kim was amazing. If this movie had a different director (preferably the director from the first taken) or someone with more better directing experience then this movie would of been much better. Overall this movie is enjoyable, its got action and everything else you would expect in an action movie. But don't go thinking its way better than the first one.
Carl Barron: Walking Down the Street (2009)
Made me laugh so hard
This is hands down hilarious. This Carl baron we are talking about so of course its going to be funny as hell. The jokes are funny, the way he acts is just too funny to watch. The way he just moves around the stage is funny but hes humor is certified to make you laugh so hard. i am a really big fan of Carl Baron and he never fails to make me laugh. I honestly laugh so hard my stomach hurts and that's what i love about Carl baron. if i am ever feeling sad or unhappy i always watch this,it turns my tears of sadness into tears of joy. Walking down the street is hilarious and i recommend it to all people that want to have a laugh. Definitely 10/10
