<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
You won’t walk out of Joker feeling
good. It’s such a beautiful movie but at the same time, it will make you feel
weird, disgusted and scared. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Even though the movie is called
Joker, don’t expect to see a Joker you are familiar with. This is an origin story.
It’s a dark tragedy that follows a man with a mental illness on the route to
absolute insanity. How did a man become a messed-up lunatic like The Joker?
Well, if you want an answer, you are going to have to go see the movie and
decide for yourself. Was he disregarded by society? Was it because we as abused
as a child? Maybe he was always destined to become crazy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Todd Phillips (writer/director) showcased
the terror that can live in someone’s head and how it can continue to grow until
that person reaches a breaking point. I was scared. Not because the movie is a
horror movie but because it felt so real. During this movie you root for Arthur
Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) to get better. As you start to see him go down that
dangerous path you hope that he finds his way onto a better one. You don’t want
him to become the person that you know he will eventually become. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Since the movie is told through the
eyes of Arthur Fleck you feel like you are living in is head. Fleck is an
unreliable narrator meaning that you never know if what you see is true, or if
it’s just inside his head. The musical score really helps you get inside his
head. At first, I was thrown off by the score. It was rough, unconventional and
it really didn’t sound that good. Then I realized why the score sounded off. The
music personifies what is going on in his head. When you have a character like
Arthur Fleck whose mind is rough and unconventional, it’s only fitting that
that music is as well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This movie rides or dies with
Joaquin Phoenix. When I heard they were making a Joker origin movie I was
skeptic. It just wasn’t something I was interested in. I knew the Joker. I
liked the Joker. I didn’t need to know where he came from. Phoenix is really
picky about the movies that he does. When it was announced that he was cast I instantly
became excited. There had to be something in that script that was special
enough for Phoenix to come on board. There is not a universe where Phoenix doesn’t
get an Oscar nomination. Granted we haven’t really seen to many Oscar movies
yet however, I’m going to say it’s a lock that Phoenix gets nominated. His
performance is a slow performance. Meaning that you truly appreciated it when
the movie is over, and you can reflect on the journey that he went on. I’ve
seen this movie twice now and his performance was even better the second time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Joker is outstanding. If I was
teaching a film class, I would make sure one of the movies we would go over is
Joker. It’s a great character study that asks the question, what makes someone
go crazy. The score, along with Phoenix’s performance makes it so you feel like
you are a part of his head going on this scary journey with him. Joker is one
of the years best. Expect it so show up a lot during awards season. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joker receives an A+. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want you to imagine two things. I want you to imagine a big dumpster that holds the stinkiest trash ever. At the bottom there is dumpster juice and it just reeks. The other thing I want you to imagine is a recycling bin. It doesn't stink but you still throw away stuff in it. <i>The Emoji Movie </i>belongs in the recycling bin. You throw it away because it's trash. It just doesn't stink. I don't know how to review this movie other than that. Here is another way I can review this movie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1061/1924/files/Poop_Emoji.png?9898922749706957214" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1061/1924/files/Poop_Emoji.png?9898922749706957214" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Poop. Crap. But remember a pile of poop that doesn't stink. In this case the poop has a more symbolic meaning than a literal one. You can tell that this pile of poop is having a good time. It's loving it's life. I enjoy watching this figurative pile of crap enjoying its life. I don't like this pile of poop, I just like watching it enjoy its self. That is going to be your experience watching <i>The Emoji Movie</i>. You won't like the pile of poop (the movie its self) but you will enjoy what the movie is doing. You will enjoy the the things it is trying to do. <i>The Emoji Movie</i> presents some interesting concepts. It does some cool stuff that involves Spotify, Dropbox, and even a Just Dance app. You can tell that the creators of this movie had a good time creating everything in it. I just didn't enjoy the final product. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That's the best way I can describe this movie. I don't know how to put it into words. It's a whole new experience. If you are morbidly curious about this movie, you should probably go see it so you can appreciate good movies. This movie makes <i>Cars 2</i> look like <i>Toy Story. </i>If you were ever curious about this movie it's best to just go see it and experience it for yourself. Don't take that as a recommendation, take it as an invitation to go see this movie so you can fully experience the feeling that no other movie will be able to give you this year. </div>

<a href="https://i0.wp.com/media2.slashfilm.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/dunkirk-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://i0.wp.com/media2.slashfilm.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/dunkirk-poster.jpg" width="215" /></a></div>
Trapped on a beach in France, British soldiers eagerly wait to escape while the enemy is slowly closing in on them. That enemy might not be who you think it is. That enemy is pretentiousness. That enemy is having style over substance. That enemy is boredom. That enemy is repetitiveness. That enemy caused for a disappointing movie.<br />
All of my favorite directors have directed a war movie. Spielberg did <i>Saving Private Ryan</i>, Coppola did <i>Apocalypse Now, </i>and Kubrick did <i>Full Metal Jacket</i>. So I was really happy to see one of my favorite modern day directors take that step into war film making. Unfortunately it might be the weakest film in Nolan's repertoire.<br />
The one thing <i>Dunkirk </i>does better than other Nolan movies is it's use of IMAX. It's beautifully shot with IMAX cameras. When the screen goes full IMAX it's truly a spectacle to behold. Especially during the intense scenes. Even though this movie is beautiful (it begs to be seen on the big screen) I wasn't a big fan of <i>Dunkirk</i>.<br />
Rather than having characters in this movie, it has people. It has a lot of average white boys with dark hair that you can't tell apart. It's really confusing to follow these "characters" because there is nothing to set them apart from each other. If they addressed the names of these characters, I couldn't tell you one. You often find yourself asking "Are you the same guy who just did that other thing? I don't think so. Well, you might be. Actually, I don't know." It would've been helpful if they gave these characters some sort of background. If they explained if they had family back home, or a girlfriend to get back to. Just something to distinguish these characters would've been very helpful.<br />
I am going to compare this movie to PIXAR's <i>Wall-E</i> just for this one example. For about the first 45min of <i>Wall-E</i> there is no dialogue. It forces you to look around and pay attention to things that you might not have if there were characters talking. It's a very interesting directing choice and a very interesting way to tell a story. In the case of <i>Wall-E,</i> having no dialogue worked really well. There was only one character (two if you count is cockroach friend) that the movie was focusing on. You wouldn't get confused with the lack of dialogue because you are only following one simple character. In Dunkirk you needed dialogue. You need it because it's really easy to loose track of things when the film makers provide you with so much going on at once. That lack of being able to keep track of everything causes the movie to be rather boring. Why should I have interest in a movie when they don't bother giving me anything to have interest in i.e. the characters or the lack there of. That's not saying that I don't have interest in the situation that is going on. I was very curious to learn more about this part of the war that I really didn't know anything about. It's just unfortunate that I wanted to fall asleep multiple times during my showing. If I had this my way I would've paused it about half way through so I could take a nap. When I woke up I would simply just hit the play button. Frankly, I wish I could've done that.<br />
<i> Dunkirk</i> has some scenes in which they show the same scene multiple times just from different points of view. That got confusing because there was no dialogue to tell me what was going on. Sometimes I just felt like I was watching the same scene multiple times. When they did that the first time I quickly caught on so when they did it again I could comprehend what has happening. But they still did it too much. However sometimes you couldn't tell that they were doing the same scene from a different point of view because in this movie all the ships and all the planes look the same. So occasionally you couldn't actually tell if it was a new scene or a scene being re-shown from another persons eyes. It didn't help that the editing was a complete mess.<br />
It felt like the goal of this movie was to put emphasis on what it feels like when you have soldiers trying to survive in a desperate situation. The progression towards that goal was taken very slowly. They were trying to make it realistic which I'm assuming they did a very good job (I personally wasn't a Dunkirk so I can't really say.) But sometimes trying to make something realistic isn't always the right way to go. If you wanted to make a realistic movie about an FBI agent about 90% of that movie will be spent in an office doing some sort of paper work. That's just how the life of an FBI agent is. Sometimes trying to showcase the realistic side of an event doesn't work well for a movie.<br />
Zimmer's score was to overpowering. It was to much of his "BWAHHH" type of score that you might hear from his other movies like <i>Inception </i>or <i>Interstellar</i>. <i>Dunkirk</i> just wasn't that block buster type movie that called for a big score from Zimmer. It needed a much more simpler score.<br />
It just didn't fit in with the feel that Nolan wanted to give us. It is a movie that I can appreciate more than I can enjoy.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This review contains things that you might consider a spoiler. If
you are sensitive to those things, I highly recommend watching the movie first
than coming back to read this review. If you don’t care about spoilers, I guess
you can just keep reading!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This movie doesn’t
feel like a movie. It feels more like a product that came off an assembly line.
Everything felt very routine and unpolished. The filmmakers just went through
the motions of making a movie while putting forth very little effort into
making it a Spider-Man movie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>First off, the
suit doesn’t look great. It looks like a football you might get in a sales pile
at a sporting goods store. It’s not the worst we’ve seen but it’s also not the
best we’ve seen. To make it even worse they made his eyes an off yellow color
that doesn’t match with the suit. That was really distracting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Andrew Garfield is
a great actor. He got nominated for an Oscar for his role in 2016’s Hacksaw
Ridge. I think he should’ve won the Oscar for his role in The Social Network
and he wasn’t even nominated. He is a great actor who one day will have an
Oscar on his mantle. I just didn’t like his portrayal of Peter Parker. Peter in
this movie is portrayed as a punk. When teachers tell him to not ride his
skateboard in the hallways, he rides it in the hallways. To me at least, that
is not who Peter Parker is. He is not a guy who doesn’t hold respect for people
around him. He’s supposed to be an innocent teenager that struggles to get
through high school. The Peter that Garfield portrays in this movie is too
perfect. He isn’t prone to the struggles that make Peter Parker, Peter Parker. He
humiliates the school bully Flash Thompson on purpose. That’s not something
Peter would do. Now you might be saying “Well, Peter humiliated Flash in the
original Spider-Man in 2002 when he punched him through a wall!” That is
different. Maguire’s Peter didn’t do it on purpose. He was just using it for self-defense.
Garfield’s Peter was using it to humiliate on purpose. That is not something Peter
Parker would do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apart from Peter Parker
the other main character in this movie is of course Spider-Man himself. It was
good to see the quick-witted Spider-Man that was absent from Maguire’s trilogy.
One of my favorite things about the Spider-Man character is the fact that one
of the weapons that he uses is his fast thinking insults/comebacks. And we
finally got that in this movie! For one lousy scene. It only lasted one scene.
Like what the heck! You did it good for that once scene, so just incorporate it
in the whole movie! The one big take away from Garfield in this movie is he is
much more likeable as Spider-Man than Peter Parker. He was a big fan of the
character when he was little and you can tell that he was doing is best at
trying to make his portrayal one fans would like. His chemistry with Emma Stone’s
Gwen Stacy was great. The instantly connected. One of the best relationships in
a comic book movie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I really like
Emma Stone as an actress. Unfortunately, she wasn’t given much to work with. There
was no development to her character. She stayed the same throughout the entire
movie. The biggest change to her character happened at the very end during her
father’s funeral. That’s it. You only get 5 minutes of this different Gwen
Stacy then the movie ends. You only see two sides to Gwen. The first being the
side that has a crush on Peter, the other being the genius that she is. That’s
all you really see. Not much to the character. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Martin Sheen as
Uncle Ben was fine. Nothing special to it. The worst part about his character
was during the most important part of his character, that being the “With great
power comes great responsibility” speech he doesn’t even say “With great power
comes great responsibility.” He says the exact same thing just in different
phrasing. It just felt so awkward. I don’t know why they didn’t just say the
iconic line. Maybe they didn’t want people to think that they were copying the
original Maguire movie. But in all reality that is the most important/iconic
line to come from any comic book. Why didn’t they just say it! No one is going
to think that you stole it from the earlier movies. They are just going to
think that it’s an important Spider-Man line and go with the flow. The only
thing that Aunt May did in this movie was worry. Every single time she was in a
scene she was constantly worrying about Peter. She also didn’t get very much to
work with which is a shame. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The Lizard in
this movie is the worst villain to be in any Spider-Man movie up to the point
of when this movie was released. This character’s motivations is he is working
on cross species genetics to try and save Norman Osborne who is dying. We never
see Osborne in this movie. How are we supposed to feel for the villain when we
can’t connect with what he is doing? The answer is we don’t feel for him. At
least in Spider-Man 3 with all the villains that were in there you felt for
them. You understood all their motivations. But the main motivation of this
villain is trying to figure out a way to regrow his arm. Once he tries that he
becomes the big lizard monster and just runs around the movie with nothing to
do. The script didn’t know how to handle this character. He started to get
random voices in his head like Norman Osborne did in the 2002 movie. The best
way to describe this villain is this cereal analogy. Let’s say you have a
favorite cereal. It’s so good, so cholatey and the milk that comes from it
after words is perfection. Then you try the off-brand of that cereal. The
packaging looks the exact same except for the mascot that’s on the front. It tastes
like cardboard and the milk afterwards taste like you’re eating wet toilet
paper. Norman Osborne in the 2002 Spider-Man is the good cereal and The Lizard
or Doctor Connors is the off-brand cereal. The Lizard’s plan was so stupid. That’s
the best way to describe it. Stupid. He wanted to turn the whole city into
Lizard people. Nowhere in the movie does it explain his reasoning for that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One of my biggest
pet peeves in movies in when they cast people over the age of 25 to play high schoolers.
I forgave the original trilogy because Peter graduated from High School in the
movie so he wasn’t in high school for the entire movie. Garfield was well above
25 years old when he shot this movie. I got really distracted. He didn’t even
remotely resemble a high schooler. To make this situation even worse, Emma
Stone has a line where she says that she is 17 years old. There is no freaking
way she is 17. She looks at least 25. It is something that gets on your nerves
and never really goes away. That’s why I’m looking forward to Spiderman:
Homecoming. Tom Holland was 20 when he filmed that movie. He genuinely looks
like a high schooler. It’s believable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Amazing Spider-Man is not better than any of the original trilogy. I would
gladly watch Spider-Man 3 over this any day. They just took a bunch of
ingredients needed to make a movie and simply made a movie. No special touch or
anything unique. There was no flare or special charm to it. The color scheme
was very greyscale which isn’t very good when you have a superhero as bright as
Spidey. At least James Horner did a good job at composing this movie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This review contains things that
you might consider a spoiler. If you are sensitive to those things, I highly
recommend watching the movie first than coming back to read this review. If you
don’t care about spoilers, I guess you can just keep reading!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Spider-Man
3 is considered by many to be the worst part of this Spider-Man trilogy. They
say that it’s disappointing, convoluted, messy, and just not a good movie
overall. While I agree that this is the worst of the three movies, it’s not
nearly as bad as people say. It’s actually a really good movie. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Usually the
first thing people mention when they talk about Spider-Man 3 is the terrible
scene with emo Peter Parker dancing in a jazz club. I’ve got to admit, that
part is really bad. It’s awkward and it makes you cringe to the core. It’s some
of the worst movie making I have seen in a comic-book movie. But other than
that, the parts with “emo” Peter Parker were great. It’s such a drastic change
from the Peter Parker that we are used to that it may have taken people back by
surprise. They handled this side to Peter Parker so well. I appreciate how they
explained why Peter turned into a jerk opposed to him just turning into one.
They introduced the Venom symbiote which can change people’s minds and make
them loose control of their actions. So it really wasn’t even Peter doing the
things he was doing. It was the symbiote controlling him and having heavy
influence on his mind and Peter could do very little to stop it. On top of that
Peter was having a tough time. Like I said in my Spider-Man 2 review, Peter
Parker is at his best when he is going through serious troubles. His
relationship with Mary Jane is dwindling very fast. He just figured out that
the person he thought killed his Uncle wasn’t actually the person who did it.
It was another guy. Those things took a serious toll on Peter. With those
situations going on in his life along with the symbiote affecting him, I think “emo”
Peter Parker was a brilliant addition to this movie. They gave good reasoning’s
as to why Peter might act like the way he did. It just added another layer to
the movie that I don’t think other film makers would have the guts to do. It
felt fresh and organic and not just another plot device. So, A+ for being brave
and having it pay off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One of the
biggest issues of this movie has to deal with Sandman. Not the inclusion of
Sandman just some story points that revolve around him. Like I alluded to above,
it was Sandman (before he transformed to Sandman) that killed Uncle Ben. That
was an unnecessary addition. It undermined a lot of things that happened in the
past two movies. Especially the second one. Peter felt that he was responsible
for Uncle Ben’s death because he could’ve stopped the guy that killed him. But
now it was another person that killed him. That layer of guilt that Peter had
is now gone. That was such a good part to Peter’s character and now it’s not
there any more. They could’ve kept Sandman the exact same throughout the movie
if they changed that one story point. And frankly, Sandman was a really nice
addition. The transformation of Sandman was a beautiful scene. The fights
between Spidey and Sandman were really entertaining to watch. It’s a good thing
that the pointless story point didn’t change my overall enjoyment of the
character. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This whole
trilogy has built up the character of Harry Osborne played by James Franco. The
whole trilogy has been filled with the rage that Harry feels towards
Spider-Man. When Harry figures out that Peter is Spider-Man the rage thickens
even more. Harry turns into the new Green Goblin and seeks revenge against
Peter for the false idea that he still had in his head about Spidey killing his
dad. The new Green Goblin and Peter get into a fight and it ends with Harry
getting really hurt. He gets a concussion and lost most of his short-term
memory. That made him a dull character for a little bit. But once he started to
regain consciousness again, that’s when things got interesting. You saw the
rage start to fill him up again. You saw the light that ignited his fuse. You
saw him explode. You saw the after effects of everything. At the end, he teams
up with Spider-Man to take down Sandman and Venom. He sacrificed himself to
save Peter. It was such a poetic ending to his character. If you watch that
scene with the context of knowing what happened in the previous movies, it hits
you right in the feels. That character started out being a nice friend to
Peter, went through a phase of complete hate, then he ended up liking Peter
again. It was well done. Major props. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>By far the
biggest issue of this movie was the inclusion of Venom. Not the inclusion of
the symbiote, but the inclusion of Venom. Green Goblin and Venom are Spider-Man’s
most popular foes and they just wasted Venom. Topher Grace did a less than
stellar job playing the role of Eddie Brock. He did an even worse job when he
was playing Eddie Brock after being taken over by the symbiote. There was
already so much going on that Venom really didn’t need to be in there. I would’ve
liked it better if they kept teasing the symbiote to foreshadow Venom being in
the Spider-Man 4 that never happened. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Spider-Man
3 does not deserve the hate that it gets. It’s a really well done movie that I
wish more people would appreciate. It’s filled with spectacular story telling.
The dynamic between the characters in this third installment might be the best
that we’ve seen from this franchise. You’ve grown with them since Spider-Man 1
and now you can see where they have grown to. It was a very satisfying ending
to this trilogy. I’m quite sad that they never made the fourth one like they
were planning to. It’s safe to say that all the movies in this trilogy have a spot
in my top 15 comic-book movies of all time. If you don’t like Spider-Man 3 I
ask of you this, please watch it again but watch it from a different angle or
point of view. There is an extremely good movie in there. I promise. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">This review contains things that you might consider a
spoiler. If you are sensitive to those things, I highly recommend watching the
movie first than coming back to read this review. If you don’t care about
spoilers, I guess you can just keep reading!</span><br />

When you are having a conversation
about movie sequels that are better than the first, a movie that frequently
comes up in discussion is Spider-Man 2. When you are having a conversation about
the greatest comic-book movie of all time, Spider-Man 2 comes up in the discussion.
In fact, if you Google search “The Best Comic Book Movies of all Time”
Spider-Man 2 is one of the first three films to show up. I don’t agree with the
point that it is better than the first one however, I do agree with the point
that it is one of the best comic-book movies of all time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides the
Captain America movies and maybe Logan, I don’t think a comic-book movie has
nailed a character like they did with Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2. It shows
off the perfect Peter Parker in the perfect way. It understands the un-costumed
hero better than most of the comic-book movies out there. I just can’t believe
how accurate they nailed the character. It’s just astonishing. The best Peter
Parker is the Peter Parker when he is just getting pounded to the ground when a
chain of bad things keep happening to him so you can see his vulnerability. I
don’t think one good thing happens to Peter in this movie. Except for maybe the
end. There are so many conflictions that help his character grow and develop.
He admits to his Aunt that he was accidentally responsible for the death of
Uncle Ben causing contention between the two of them. The girl of his dreams is
engaged to someone else. With his friend not knowing that Peter is Spider-Man,
his friend wants Spider-Man dead because he feels that he is the one that
killed his father (Norman Osbourne) in the first movie. There is just so much
material that captures the perfect essence of Peter Parker. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The casting
of Alfred Molina has Otto Octavius a.k.a. Doctor Octopus was truly inspired
casting. This franchise is batting 100% so far with casting their villains. You
meet Octavius when he is just a normal science genius and you go along the
journey with him when he slowly turns into a very strong villain. The effects
of the extra arms to Doc Ock were impressive. For the most part they were
practical and that made a big difference. Some of the best scenes in this movie
had Doctor Octopus. There is a scene where he tries to rob a bank and the
action is well done. But the better scene is one that takes place on a train.
It’s one of my personal favorite action scenes to ever be put on film. It’s the
perfect mix of having good action while at the same time developing character.
After Spider-Man stops the train from falling of the end of a track, he faints and
the people on the train surround him. When the civilians look at the unmasked
hero they are shocked that he is just a kid (even though Maguire doesn’t look
like a kid, he is supposed to be around 23 years of age in this movie.) One of
my favorite lines in this movie is when one of those bystanders say “He is no
younger than my kid” referencing unmasked Spider-Man. Further establishing the point that Peter
Parker is just a kid that feels responsibility to take care of things that
other people can’t do. You just see the care that is in Peter’s eyes. He may
not like to do it but he knows he needs to do it. Stan Lee once said that
Spider-Man wears a mask to hide his fear from his enemies. Opposed to someone
like Black Panther who wears a mask to inflict fear, Spider-Man wears one for
the opposite reason. That is made so apparent throughout this movie. It just
adds another interesting layer to the character. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are
some things that rubbed me the wrong way. There is a burning building scene
where Peter (not Spider-Man) goes in and rescues a child. I can see that they
wanted this scene in there to add bravery to Peter Parker but it felt more like
a scene that was thrown in there to add more excitement but, ultimately failed.
Peter told Mary Jane that he would make her play that she was starring in. The
play started at 8’oclock. Peter was late and wasn’t allowed in so he missed the
play. MJ was so offended and hurt that Peter didn’t come to that one
performance. She was too harsh towards Peter and that bugged me. It’s not like
there is never going to be another performance again. He will just go to
another showing of it (which he does) and all will be okay. The harshness that
MJ gave Peter for not attending the play was unnecessary. That plot point was
focused on quite heavily throughout some of the film. Thankfully it wasn’t all
of it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It seems
that a lot of people don’t give Toby Maguire the respect he deserves which is a
real shame. He does an exceptional job. A near perfect performance. The movie
decided to spend more time developing the guy under the mask so we could better
appreciate the masked hero. It wouldn’t have worked out as great if Maguire
wasn’t playing the web slinger. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, the
only reason in which I like the first one better is I felt a special charm that
I didn’t feel while watching the second one. The first one had more “fun”
scenes and more parts that were just reminiscent of my imagination as a child
pretending to be Spider-Man. But that is no insult to Spider-Man 2. They are
neck and neck. It’s just that special charm about that first one that puts in
on top for me. Not by much though. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just
remember if you ever say that Toby Maguire isn’t good as Peter Parker in my
presence, I will fight you. Also, the suit looks really good. The Spider-Man 2
suit very well might be my favorite Spidey suit. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/03/24/2002-spider-man-2-1490395333192_1280w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/03/24/2002-spider-man-2-1490395333192_1280w.jpg" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="542" height="320" width="216" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Spider-Man has always been my favorite super hero. For as
long as I can remember I have wanted to swing through my town protecting all
the innocent people. When I was 7 or 8 I got a Spider-Man costume for my
birthday. Equipped with that was some silly string that acted like web
shooters. It came with two bottles of silly string. I used them all up in about
5 minutes. I just went crazy imagining I was battling villains like Green
Goblin, Venom, Doctor Octopus, and so on. This big screen debut of the web
slinger is the most accurate portrayal of what I imagined when I thought I was
Spider-Man. If you want to know what I was thinking, watch this movie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This movie
does a lot of things right. Perhaps my favorite part about this movie is the
simplicity about it. We have a ton of franchise movies today that are so
focused on contributing to a bigger universe. During the early 2000s, there
really was no big franchise. It was really only <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>X-Men <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and Spider-Man that were the main comic book
movies of those years. The fact that this didn’t need to set up a universe only
benefited the film. It took the time to zone in on the miniscule details that
might be missed in the big blockbusters of today. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If I taught
film school this would be a movie that I would have my students study. It masterfully
relates the characters emotions to the story beats that are throughout. It is a
good character study. It’s weird saying that about a comic-book movie but it’s
certainly true. The film showcases its best character study through the villain
Green Goblin/Norman Osborne played by Willem Dafoe. It is by far one of the
most underrated portrayals of a villain in a comic book movie. It’s a dark,
twisted, sadistic character that just fascinates you from the beginning. Dafoe
does an excellent job at adding so many layers to this character. A good
villain can really raise a movie to the next level. This movie is evident of
that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Maguire’s portrayal
of the character is much different than I would do it but it worked out
wonderfully. He nailed the awkwardness of a guy when talking to a girl. He
nailed the feeling you get when you think you are the coolest person alive. He took
all the key parts of Peter Parker and showcased them in a wonderful manner. He
was a perfect Peter Parker for this time in the early 2000s. Would his version
of the role work out today? Probably not. But it holds up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now, you
might have heard complaints from people saying that Maguire’s chemistry with
Dunst (who plays Mary Jane) didn’t work. It actually worked really well. The
character that Maguire established in the first is pretty consistent throughout
the movie. He evolves and develops with his challenges along with giving you a
good idea about what type of relationship he has with Mary Jane. It works out
really well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This movie
shines with the characters of Green Goblin and Peter Parker. It will entertain
you from beginning to end. It places you in the middle of the action so you
feel like you are fighting with Spider-Man. You will immediately want to see this
journey continue. <o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/95/GotG_Vol2_poster.jpg/220px-GotG_Vol2_poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/95/GotG_Vol2_poster.jpg/220px-GotG_Vol2_poster.jpg" width="215" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those of you who don't know, the MCU is the acronym for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's the universe that holds the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Doctor Strange, etc...movies. So just to let you know, that's what I mean when I say the MCU. </div>
The first guardians really came out of nowhere and surprised everyone with how awesome it was. Vol.2 had some pretty big shoes to fill. I wasn't expecting this one to be as good as the first one because I don't think many MCU movies can. I just wanted to love it. I wanted to enjoy the heck out of this movie. I just wanted it to be a good movie.<br />
Right off the bat I can tell you two things that this movie does that are often the main weakness in many MCU movies. The first of those two things is the villain. When you look back at past MCU movies the only villains you really remember are Loki, The Winter Soldier, Red Skull, and that's about it. I'm not saying that the villain in Vol.2 is as good as the ones I listed. The villain is just not as bad as that one Dark Elf in Thor 2 or that one whip man in Iron Man 2. It's a good villain when you compare it to MCU standards, it's just not necessarily a good villain when compared to other movies. Even though the villain did pack a good emotional punch to the overall story arc, we just didn't get enough time to get to know him. When they explained where this villain came from they briefly skimmed over a very important detail. So the villain does fall into that pit the MCU has of undeveloped villains just not as deep as their completely terrible ones. The right villain can really make a superhero movie. I wouldn't say the villain made this movie, it just saved it a little bit. It was just so nice to see a relatively good MCU villain.<br />
The other thing I alluded to was this movies score. Perhaps even more than the villain my biggest pet peeve about MCU movies is the score. They usually don't have the same composer come back and compose the same franchises within the MCU. All the Iron Man movies are composed by different people. Both Thor movies are composed by different composes. One reason why the Captain America films are my favorite is that the composer of the 2nd and 3rd stayed the same. People really don't realize how a score can enhance their viewing a film. A great score can really transport you into another world. The best example of this is Star Wars. As soon as you hear those first notes you escape reality and enter the world that is Star Wars. Same goes with Indiana Jones, Jaws, and even Jurassic Park. So all hail John Williams I guess? I guess the point that I am trying to get at is Tyler Bates composed the first one and this one. That made a huge difference.<br />
Even though it did things to improve on past MCU movies, that didn't make it a great movie. If the story to a movie is bland, great things don't make that much of an impact. I don't want to call Vol.2's story bland, or generic. Just find the middle of bland and generic and there you go. The story had good beats to it but the overall arc of it was just ok.<br />
Pratt needed to be in it more in the first of the movie. He is the heart and soul of these movies and he wasn't in it a bunch during the first part. My favorite part of the movie was Yondu played by Micheal Rooker. He was just a side character in the first one but in this one much more depth was added to his character.<br />
I just liked Vol.2. Even though it was funnier than the first one, I didn't like it as much. I wouldn't call it a bad movie. But I wouldn't necessarily call it a great, or even good movie. I would put it on the lower level of good. It's not a disappointment, it was just not as good as I wanted it to be. It was a movie I liked and somewhat enjoyed. There were more negatives I took away then positives.<br />
I would put it at place 9 or 10 out of 15 with all the MCU movies.<br />

<a href="http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2017/02/power-rangers-FNL-poster-720x1109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2017/02/power-rangers-FNL-poster-720x1109.jpg" height="320" width="207" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I look back at my childhood, the Power Rangers were a part of it but they weren't the stars of it. I enjoyed my time when I watched this show. In fact I was the green Power Ranger for Halloween multiple years in a row. I just wasn't a mega fan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had so much fun watching this movie. And that's really what this movie was. Fun. My levels of enjoyment were so high. I haven't felt these levels of enjoyment since <i>Captain America: Civil War.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In any movie that has teen characters, you are worried that the acting will be terrible. Well, I'm happy to report that this acting is actually surprisingly good. It's not that bad young adult acting you might see in movies like <i>The Divergent Series</i> or <i>The Fifth Wave</i>. It's not amazing acting but it's good enough. The stand outs being Naomi Scott (Pink Ranger), Dacre Montgomery (Red Ranger), and RJ Cyler (Blue Ranger.) The other two actors weren't bad by any means. It's just that those three actors stood out. They were just given more time to develop given their circumstances as characters. My personal favorite was RJ Cyler. He co-stared in one of my favorite movies of recent years <i>Me and Earl and the Dying Girl</i>. I really wanted him to break out and get more opportunities and I really think he will. In a movie with a team of heroes you need good chemistry. These actors do provide you with that chemistry that this movie needed. The comedy beats hit, and they hit effectively. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Power Rangers did something that I really appreciate when movies do it. It sucked me into the world. I was entrapped in the world that was <i>Power Rangers. </i>Were there faults in this movie? Most likely. I just didn't seem to notice them because I was just having so much fun. If you go see this movie, will you find problems with it? Probably. You won't probably like it as much as I did. However, you will find some sense of fun in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Out of the movies I've seen this year I have to say that this is probably my favorite. Is it the best? Not necessarily. But it is my favorite when you take into account the amount of fun I had while watching it, the enjoyment I had while watching it, and that's what a movie is supposed to do. Movies are meant to take you out of the real world, and bring you into one where you just have fun. <i>Power Rangers</i> did that more than any other movie in recent memory. Chances are you won't like it as much as me. However you will most likely experience the fun you are wanting from a <i>Power Rangers Movie. </i></div>

<a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTUwMzI5ODEwNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjAzNjI2MDI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTUwMzI5ODEwNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjAzNjI2MDI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg" /></a></div>
The Vietnam War is coming to an end. When a group of soldiers were ready to go home to their families/friends, they got recruited to go explore an uncharted island somewhere in the ocean. You have this team of soldiers, then you have a team of scientist who go to this island to explore it, and do science things.<br />
You can probably guess what happens next on this island. What happens on this island is a bunch of bad character development and a bunch of bad dialogue. These characters are shallower than the kid pool at your local community center. You have great actors in Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson but it seems like their only job was to stand there and look attractive. Even though they do a good job at that, they don't do a good job at making good characters. Now, that isn't entirely their fault. You can blame that problem on the terrible script this movie has.<br />
The script really didn't do a good job at doing anything it was supposed to. Like I alluded to above, there is no real sense of character in this movie. They introduce a lot of characters and then they try to make most of these characters really important but they just can't. Everyone is just portraying very vague versions of whom they are supposed to be. Out of all the scientists, I can't describe one to you in detail. They all mush together into a big blob of forgetfulness. You can say the same about the soldiers who are also in this movie. The worst part about this is how these characters die. I hate it when characters die off, and you feel nothing. I want to feel emotion every time someone dies. I don't just want to sit there and think "meh". I want to care for characters and I just couldn't in this movie.<br />
Going back to the issues of the script, it has horrendous dialogue. Conversations between the characters didn't feel fluid. It felt very choppy and unnatural. I was taken out of the movie several times for that reason. I just couldn't get behind anything that was happening in this movie because it was very choppy.<br />
Originally this movie was supposed to be called, <i>Skull Island</i>. So the same title just without the "Kong." And frankly, I would've preferred it to be that way. They do a decent job at showing this island to us. I was slowly gaining curiosity about what else was on this island. With the title just being <i>Skull Island, </i>I would've expected them to dive more into the mythology of this island. However, with the title of <i>Kong: Skull Island </i>I expected a lot more Kong then they actually showed us. In a Kong movie I want Kong. I don't wan't forgettable characters. The Kong segments were the best parts about this movie like we all could've assumed going into it. I just wish there were more of those segments so I was less distracted by the bad characters and dialogue. One thing that the Kong scenes could've been improved from was better CGI. The visual effects were very noticeable at points. I believe they could've been improved.<br />
Besides the Kong scenes, the best part about this movie was Brie Larson. Not because she was good in it, but because I just love Brie Larson. If you haven't seen her in her Academy Award winning role in <i>Room,</i> go watch it so you can fully appreciate what Brie Larson is capable of.<br />
I was really looking forward to this movie because it's the latest addition to Warner Bros. "MonsterVerse" which also includes 2014's <i>Godzilla </i>movie. I actually really liked Peter Jackson's interpretation of King Kong so I was looking forward to another directors interpretation. This movie is also leading up to <i>Godzilla V. King Kong </i>coming out in 2020. And as you can probably tell, I was disappointed with this movie.<br />
<i>Kong: Skull Island </i> is a very forgetful movie. It's very likely you won't remember anything that happened in this movie once you have left the theater. The characters won't attract you to this movie, the dialogue won't attract you to this movie and not much will actually be able to grab your attention. I was getting tired during a Kong action scene. That should not happen! I was about to fall asleep!<br />

<a href="http://cdn2-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/gallery/untitled-wolverine-sequel/logannewposter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn2-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/gallery/untitled-wolverine-sequel/logannewposter.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
This review is going to be SPOILER FREE. So don't you worry.<br />
There is a term I use very rarely when it comes to describing movies. That term is "cinematic masterpiece." When it comes to comic book movies, even the all time greats I don't use that term. I reserve that term for a movie that is an example of art in it's purest form. For example <i>Forrest Gump, The Empire Strikes Back, The Truman Show</i>, and the only comic book movie that is in my top films of all time list <i>Man of Steel </i>are the movies I have reserved that term for. When I say art in it's purest form, I mean those movies beautifully depict the human mind and perfectly show off it's full imaginary, and creative potential. As you can probably tell, I hold the term "cinematic masterpiece" very highly.<br />
Now, when I give a film a perfect 5/5 score, that doesn't automatically mean it becomes a cinematic masterpiece. In order to become a cinematic masterpiece the movie must also affect me at an emotional level. Only the best movies, are the movies that effect you in the long run. Think about that. The movies that you most often talk about, are the movies that have made in impact with you emotionally. Without a doubt, <i>Logan</i> is a cinematic masterpiece.<br />
Not only is it a cinematic masterpiece, it is pure brilliance. Perhaps the best part about <i>Logan</i> is it doesn't feel like a comic book/superhero movie. You don't have to be a fan of previous X-Men movies to appreciate this movie. I think you don't even need to see any other comic book movies to appreciate this one. Like I said before, it doesn't feel like other comic book movies. When you think of <i>The Dark Knight</i>, <i>Captain America: Winter Soldier</i>, or even <i>Guardians of the Galaxy</i>, the feelings that those movies give you, don't even come close the feelings and emotions <i>Logan </i>gives you. You won't be used to the amount of emotion <i>Logan</i> has because it's very likely you haven't seen it in a movie before. It might be weird to hear that a comic book movie has that much emotion. But it's true.<br />
You can't have emotion without great performances. And we do have great performances. This is Hugh Jackman's last performance as Wolverine (in a stand alone Wolverine movie at least), and Patrick Stewart's last performance as Charles Xavier. I was preparing myself mentally before I saw this movie for those reasons. I just don't think I mentally prepared my self well enough. I was blown away by both of their performances. They put so much thought into their characters. It was so heartbreaking to see Wolverine and Professor X as worn down as they were because I'm so used to seeing them in their prime or when they are healthy. They establish such a great father/son type relationship. If this movie came out later in the year, I really think that there would be serious talk about giving Patrick Stewart an Oscar nomination.<br />
They want to make sure you feel the emotions that all the characters are feeling. They do that by establishing a great relationship with Professor X, but also with the other most important relationship. The one with the little girl Laura played by Dafne Keen. What a powerful performance she gives. She does a great job acting with Jackman without even saying a word. The character of Laura or X-23, is such a rich and deep character. This movie just does such a great job at establishing characters and their relationships. They do that so well that (like I said before) it doesn't even feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a small, independent film that you could have a serious discussion about what Oscars this should be nominated for. Speaking of potential Oscars, this screenplay/story was really appropriate for the feel this movie wanted to give you.<br />
As you can probably tell, I have high praise for <i>Logan.</i> If you have any interest in this movie, go see it. If you don't have any interest go see it. In fact in my showing of it, there was an elderly couple. I talked to them and they said they were 84 years old and they loved it. But beware, this is not a movie for kids. This movie has an R rating and deserves it. There is not a lot of action in this movie but when there is its brutal, violent, bloody, etc... you do see a couple of heads get cut off. But this is the Wolverine I have always wanted to see. An incredibly violent Wolverine in the fullness and glory is was always meat to be seen in.<br />
Logan has easily made it's way to the top of my comic book movie list. If you haven't seen other X-Men movies, you can still enjoy this movie. If you are typically not the biggest fan of comic book movies, go see this movie. It's a spectacular tale of family and emotion.<br />

It's time. It's finally time. It's time for my 2nd favorite day of the year. Academy Awards day. And with that, comes my Oscar predictions. Many hours have gone into researching this. So hopefully, I don't make a complete fool out of my self with my predictions this year. I did get 23/24 on my ballot two years ago so you could say I kind of know what I'm talking about. I will give you predictions on all the awards but, I will not give analysis on all of them. Only the key ones. For much more in depth analysis, you can listen to my podcast.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST PICTURE</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's La La Land's award to loose. With it's 14 nominations, it's very hard to see a world where La La Land doesn't win. Even though Moonlight has the slimmest chance of an upset. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST DIRECTOR</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Damien Chazelle-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>Damien will become the youngest person ever to win the directing Oscar at age 31. If you take into consideration Chazelle's BAFTA win and his DGA win (Directors Guild Award), he has become the for sure bet. It will be one of the biggest upsets of the night if Chazelle does not take home the trophy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST ACTOR</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Casey Affleck-Manchester by the Sea</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>This was the hardest category for me this year. It was either between Affleck or Denzel Washington for <i>Fences. </i>Affleck had all the Oscar buzz going for him since this movie premiered at Sundance back in 2016. It was just recently, when Washing won the SAG award (Screen Actors Guild) that momentum started to shift ways. The SAG award is the best indicator for the Oscar because 1/6 of the Academy are the members of the SAG. 18/22 SAG award winners for Best Actor went on to when the Oscar. I did like <i>Manchester by the Sea</i> a lot better than <i>Fences </i>so there is definitely personal bias in this selection. Affleck did when the BAFTA and numerous other critic's awards. So Affleck is my choice. Don't be surprised if Washington pulls away with the victory. You might even see Gosling win for <i>La La Land</i> due to the fact that the Academy seems to love that movie. However, that is a very, very, unlikely scenario. I keep on second guessing my choice. Affleck and Washington are both safe choices. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST ACTRESS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Emma Stone-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like to call this category "Close, but not really." Earlier in the award season Natalie Portman got some early awards for her performance as Jackie Kennedy in <i>Jackie. </i>The closer, and closer we are getting to the Oscars, more buzz starts to form around Isabelle Huppert for her movie, <i>Elle</i>. But Stone did come away with a Golden Globe, a SAG Award, and a BAFTA (British Academy Awards.) So as far as momentum goes, Stone has got this. She showed so much versatility in this movie. Stone definitely deserves this award. Portman and Huppert could be the dark horse in this scenario, but that would be considered a rather big upset at this point. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mahershala Ali-Moonlight</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>Just like the other acting awards, the best indicator of this category is the SAG. Ali won that award, and gave a very emotional acceptance speech which could've influenced voters in his way. He did loose the Golden Globe to Aaron Taylor Johnson (who isn't even nominated for the Oscar) and he lost to Dev Patel at the BAFTAs. So this race is much closer than you think. More than the leading actor category, the winners at the SAG awards don't go on to win the Oscar as much. Most recently last year when Mark Rylance won for <i>Bridge of Spies</i> when Idris Elba won the SAG last year. I personally want Patel to win this award because I liked <i>Lion</i> a lot more than I enjoyed <i>Moonlight.</i> But Ali has the spot on my Oscar ballot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Viola Davis-Fences</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>This is the one category that is a 100% lock. She has won the overwhelming majority of awards that she can. If she doesn't win this, it might go down as one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Manchester by the Sea</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a category that gets interesting. The winner of best original screenplay at the WGA (Writers Guild Awards) was <i>Moonlight.</i> However, at the Oscars it's under the best adapted screenplay category so you can't look at that for a prediction. <i>La La Land </i>took home the Golden Globe while <i>Manchester by the Sea</i> took home the BAFTA and other critic awards. Since I give a little more weight to the BAFTAs than I do the Golden Globes, i'm checking off <i>Manchester by the Sea</i> on my ballot. I also think it should win. <i>La La Land </i>is my number one movie of the year, but I have to admit that <i>Manchester by the Sea </i>is written much better. Perhaps the Academy wants to share the wealth and not give <i>La La Land</i> every award. Again, this could come from my personal love of <i>Manchester by the Sea. La La Land </i> or <i>Manchester by the Sea</i> would both be safe bets. This is another category this year that I keep on second guessing my choice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Moonlight</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Lion </i>won the BAFTA, <i>Arrival</i> won the WGA for adapted screenplay and <i>Moonlight </i>won for best original screenplay. This is a relatively close race since 3 different movies won significant awards. There is just a lot of buzz surrounding <i>Moonlight. </i>It's the other best picture favorite and it's also challenging Chazelle for director. Since <i>Moonlight</i> is not going to win in those categories, it has the slight advantage when it comes to adapted screenplay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Zootopia</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>Zootopia won the Golden Globe, the Annie Award (Animated film Awards) and the PGA (Produces Guild Awards.) So Zootopia is definitely building up a reputation. However, <i>Kubo and the Two Strings</i> won the BAFTA. Every single time a movie has won the BAFTA and has been nominated for the Oscar, it was won. 100% of the time. I might be over estimating the Academy's love for Disney movies, but I do believe Zootopia was the better movie. It very well just might break that BAFTA record. But once again, i'm second guessing my choice all the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, are all of the other awards. Full disclosure, I don't research these as much as I did with the awards above. In fact, it is very hard to use previous awards to predict these. So I gave it my best shot. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST FOREIGN FILM</u>-Toni Erdmann. <i>The Salesman</i> </b>is another good contender. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST COSTUME DESIGN</u>-LA LA Land. </b>I just think that <i>La La Land </i>is going to sweep all of these technical type awards. <i>Jackie</i> is another good contender for this award. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST ORIGINAL SONG</u>-City of Stars. </b>I really want <i>How Far I'll Go </i>to win so Lin-Manuel Miranda can join the EGOT club (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.) But something from <i>La La Land </i>is going to win. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST ORIGINAL SCORE</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST DOCUMENTARY</u>-O.J.: Made in America</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST DOCUMENTARY (SHORT)</u>-Extremis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST MAKEUP & HAIRSTYLING</u>-Star Trek Beyond. </b>The 2009 <i>Star Trek </i>won this award. That is really my only reason why I'm picking it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST FILM EDITING</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST SOUND EDITING</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST SOUND MIXING</u>-La La Land</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST VISUAL EFFECTS</u>-The Jungle Book</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST SHORT FILM (ANIMATED)</u>-Piper</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>BEST SHORT FILM (LIVE ACTION)</u>-ENNEMIS INTERIEURS</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything was awesome with <i>The Lego Movie</i>. Everything was awesomer with <i>The Lego Batman Movie. </i>Out of my top 5 animated films of all time, Lego movies now occupy 2/5 of that list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes movies just connect with you on a level that most movies don't. <i>The Lego Batman Movie</i> did that with me. One reason why I loved this movie so much is, this movie is the epitome of my humor. Humor that is sarcastic, with a sense of bluntness. Every time there was a joke I laughed. Not one joke fell flat. I was laughing from beginning to end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the reasons I may have laughed so much is I got all the jokes. This movie makes fun of and takes jabs at previous Batman movies. If you haven't seen previous Batman movies, some of the jokes might fly right over your head. But there are still a lot of jokes that you will get, so don't worry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main reason as to why this movie worked so well is you could tell the writers and the director understood the character of Batman. This movie wouldn't have worked if the creators didn't have a clear and comprehensable understanding of Batman. They were well aware of how to make fun of him to create humor, and the were well aware of how to write this character to create original humor that worked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only was this a good comedy, this movie had heart, and a very good message. I was actually surprised that it wasn't humor all the time. There were emotional moments that made me tear up. Those moments provided a good break from the humor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now for the negatives. There aren't any. There was never a single moment where I thought, this could've been done better. Everything was executed perfectly. This movie was flawless. It was hilarious, and it did exactly what it needed to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you could've guessed I give <i>The Lego Batman Movie </i>a perfect 5/5. I know it's the very beginning of the year but, I find it really improbable to find a movie better than this one. Really the only one I see upsetting this one is Star Wars Ep.VIII: The Last Jedi. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I was in charge of putting a quote on this movie poster, it would be "The Best Animated Movie in the past 5 years."</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.impawards.com/2017/posters/split_ver2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.impawards.com/2017/posters/split_ver2.jpg" height="320" width="215" /></a></div>
Psychological thrillers is one of my, if not my favorite sub genre when it comes to films. Whether it be <i>Psycho</i>, <i>The Silence of the Lambs</i>, <i>The Shining</i>, or even <i>The Prestige,</i> this sub genre is one that always gets me excited. So when I heard about Split, I was really looking forward to seeing it. You have James McAvoy, an actor I really appreciated and one who was underrated. You have M.Night Shymalan directing it. Say what you want about him but, he has made two really good movies with <i>The Sixth Sense</i> and <i>Unbreakable</i>. That potential is in him. I wanted Shymalan to make a triumphant return with <i>Split</i> after he has made a series of bad films (<i>The Visit, Signs, The Happening, The Village, The Last Airbender, After Earth)</i>. So is <i>Split</i> the triumphant return we have wanted from Shymalan? No. No it is not.<br />
This film tries way to hard. It punches you in the face with the message of "Look at me! I'm one of the best thrillers of the past 10 years!" It focuses too much on being a psychological thriller, that it forgot to have any real substance to it. The best way I can describe it is like this.....<br />
Think of your dream car. Imagine that you get a chance to own that car. You see the car in the distance and you walk up to it knowing that it's going to be yours. The exterior is everything you dreamed of. The moment is finally here. You get to the car and, the is no interior. There is no engine. There is nothing but the car and it's fabulous exterior. This car tried so hard to be the car of your dreams, that it forgot to complete its self. That's how I feel about <i>Split</i>. It tried so hard to be the best psychological thriller of the decade that it forgot to have any real substance to it.<br />
The last thing you should be in a thriller is bored. You will be bored watching this movie. There just isn't enough there to grab your attention, or even keep your attention. The only thing that will somewhat keep your interest is James McAvoy's performance. I can only imagine how hard it is for an actor to portray multiple characters in a movie and be constantly switching from one, to another all throughout the film. As I said in my intro, McAvoy is an actor who was underrated. I believe, and I hope that this movie gives McAvoy the attention he deserves. <br />
To sum it up, <i>Split </i>is a movie that lacks any real substance. It focuses too much on being a return to form for Shymalan that it ends up being a real lackluster. If I was in charge of putting a quote on this movie poster it would be "The try-hard movie of the year!"<br />
I am going to give <i>Split</i> a 2.5/5.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
If you think his name, he will come and screw up your life. If you say his name, he will come up and screw up your life. If you see this movie, it will screw up your life. So save yourself and don't go see this movie.<br />
<div>
I have never liked the premise of this movie. It's so stupid. You have this "spirit" that if you think or say his name, he will haunt you and make you do unthinkable things. If you say his name to other people, those people now have the potential to be effected by The Bye Bye Man. However you can stop him by not thinking/saying his name. </div>
<div>
If you really think about it, The Bye Bye Man is basically just a virus. The only way it can flourish is by the faults of other people. When you introduce the name of The Bye Bye Man to other people, they can't think of it or else their life will get screwed up, then they can spread it to others. I don't want the villain of my movie to be a stupid virus. I want the villain to be someone/something that is actually intimidating. Not a dumb virus. </div>
<div>
If you are clueless enough to see this movie (really, don't see this movie) you will see some of the worst acting you will ever see in a theatrical motion picture. They are just so bad. You will never be able to take them seriously. The main actress Cressida Bonas could not deliver one good line even if her life depended on it. You are not supposed to laugh unintentionally while watching a horror movie, but Bonas will make you life with the beyond horrendous performance she gives us. The other two leads Douglass Smith and Lucien Laviscount aren't as bad as Bonas, but they are still pretty terrible. </div>
<div>
To sum it up, this movie seems like it was trying to hard. The acting was terrible. The premise is stupid. There are so many moments that make you think "This must be one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen."</div>
<div>
If I was in charge for putting one quote on the movie poster, that quote would be "This movie is full of stupid." </div>
<div>
The Bye Bye Man rightfully deserves a 2/5 </div>
</div>
<div>
Probably the stupidest part of the movie came when the main character was browsing the computer in a library. He was researching The Bye Bye Man. He didn't go to google.com to do it. He didn't go to yahoo.com to do it. He didn't even go to bing.com to do it. He went to search.com. This movie couldn't even afford to put a name brand search engine in their movie for literally 2 seconds! </div>

<a href="http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/fantastic-beasts-where-find-them-movie-poster.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/fantastic-beasts-where-find-them-movie-poster.jpeg" height="320" width="215" /></a></div>
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the next adventure in the Harry Potter universe. This particular adventure takes place 70years before the first Harry Potter story and follows a wizard named Newt Scamander, a very introverted wizard who has a love for magical creatures. His mission is to document all those magical creatures and expand the knowledge of these "beasts" to the rest of the wizarding world. However on this quest of his, some of his beasts escape from his magical suitcase and cause havoc in 1920s New York.<br />
Right off the bat, there are several things that could've been fixed.<br />
The first thing that could've been improved are the actual beasts themselves. There were too many beasts in this film. There were too many to keep track of. The thing I appreciate the most about the creatures that have existed in this universe is they each have their own unique trait. Those traits that you want magical creatures to have, weren't so apparent in this film. The majority of the creatures didn't seem to have a real purpose and could've been easily written out for the benefit of the film. I don't want to say scenes became "crowded" when beasts were in them but they became rather messy. There was also an overuse of CGI in the movie. There needed to be less CGI, or better CGI.<br />
Eddie Redmayne did a really good job at bringing this somewhat unfamiliar character to life. His performance was really unique and convincing. The problem I had was Newt stayed his introverted self the whole movie. The reason I had a problem with that is, Redmayne has charisma and that charisma was dialed down, a lot. I wish there was just one scene where Newt went full-out wizard. Just once scene where he does something dramatically different compared to what he does in the rest of the film. He was a very one note character but still enjoyable nonetheless. The character I liked more was Colin Farrell's character, Graves. He wasn't in it for that long but when he was in it, he stole the show.<br />
The main female protagonist was played by Katherine Waterson, and her character was such a weak character. There was absolutely no substance to her character. There was nothing. It was like watching a blank piece of paper act. It was absolutely tortuous, and was a real struggle to watch. And when someone is that bad to watch and is on screen for the majority of the movie, it heavily dampens your enjoyment of the film. There was no set up to her character, and there was no pay off in the end.<br />
I was really excited to see the character of Kowalski. I really liked him in the trailers. I was interested in how they were going to treat this "no-maj" or "muggle." At the first of the movie I was enjoying his character. But then they introduced a love interest for Kowalski and that didn't fit in at all. It ruined the entire flow of the movie. The movie didn't seem to have any pacing issues until she came along. <br />
The great thing about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them is it's a return to the Harry Potter universe. Much like how the Force Awakens brought us back to the Star Wars world we loved, Fantastic Beasts brought us back the Harry Potter world we loved. I love this world so much. There were very subtle moments when a few notes of the John William's score were integrated into the overall score. It was really nice to be in this world again. Even though I had quite a few problems, I loved how how we were introduced into this familiar world but with a new spin on it. I give Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them a 3/5.<br />

<a href="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/53323bb4e4b0cebc6a28ffa2/t/5773fe38b8a79b86b0b4becb/1467219523580/Sully+poster" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/53323bb4e4b0cebc6a28ffa2/t/5773fe38b8a79b86b0b4becb/1467219523580/Sully+poster" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
In 2009 a commercial airliner piloted by Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger hit a flock of birds that caused both engines to go down. The only thing Sully could do in this situation was to land the plane in the Hudson River. These 208-seconds will forever be known as "The Miracle on the Hudson."<br />
When I first heard about this movie I was wondering how they could turn 208-seconds into a full length-feature film. Then the trailers came out. I had no idea that there was controversy surrounding this event. After the landing, there were various investigations that said Sully could've flown the plane back to the airport rather than landing it in the river and causing danger to the 155 passengers on board. This movie is more about the investigations, rather than than the actual plane landing.<br />
That being said, the parts that do show the plane crash are really well done. Eastwood does a great job at directing these sequences to magnify your experience. The main issue with the sequences is, they are not shown in chronological order. The movie shows you parts of the plane crash, then goes to part of the investigation, then back to the plane crash. This movie would've benefited a lot more if it was done chronologically.<br />
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent/Two Face often gets overlooked in The Dark Knight. People always talk about Heath Ledger and seldom talk about Eckhart's wonderful performance. I was very happy to see another solid performance from Eckhart. He did a very good job at acting along with Hanks and holding his own ground. Not to mention that they had great chemistry.<br />
At this point it seems cliche to say "Hanks gave a fantastic performance." But the thing is, he always gives solid performances. He is constantly giving us Oscar worthy performances. I don't think he'll get nominated but, I wouldn't be mad if he does.<br />
These days it seems like the media tries to emphasize all the bad things that are going on in the world. So I got choked up when I was watching this movie because it was so nice to see something that emphasized the good that is in people. When disaster strikes, it brings out the best in people. Sully reminded me that within us, is the power and will to do something great. Sully is a movie about true, American heroes. We can rise up to the challenge. We can do extraordinary things.<br />
Sully is a movie you should rush out and see. You should see it because Hanks and Eckhart give great performances and for the overall message. I give Sully a 4/5.theothermovieguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07359685099890150339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792147016107858372.post-42756897579526245942016-08-08T18:10:00.000-07:002016-08-08T18:28:35.376-07:00Suicide Squad Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1.wp.com/bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/suicidesquad-poster-team-xeyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1.wp.com/bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/suicidesquad-poster-team-xeyes.jpg" height="320" width="216" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Without a doubt, Will Smith and Margot Robbie are the best parts about this movie.They played the best characters in this movie, Deadshot and Harley Quinn. I would be more than thrilled to see these two characters in another movie. In fact, I want to see a Harley Quinn movie now. I want to see a Deadshot movie now. They are too likable to not want to see them again. Viola Davis was really good as Amanda Waller. I wish that she will come back. Diablo played by Jay Hernandez is the only other character that you will appreciate.</div>
I don't think this movie is a disaster all the time. I just think it's a disaster eighty-five to ninety percent of the time. When this movie misses the spot, it misses the spot hard.<br />
I don't know why comic book movies have a tough time (for the most part) at making a good villain. More often than not they are really lack luster and really forgettable. This movie is no exception. You never have time to get to know this character. Unfortunately they decide to dedicate quite a bit of time to this character during the third act. And it just doesn't work. I couldn't care less about the final action scene because I didn't care for the character. I didn't even know what they were trying to do. Were they trying to destroy the world? They never made that clear. I don't know why they made the conflict on this big of a spectacle. It just didn't feel like it fit in with this movie. In fact it reminded me a lot of last years Fantastic 4 at some points. The finale just came off as some generic action piece. It was really cartoony and frankly, it didn't make very much sense. Then the villain had a random brother that possessed a random citizen guy. What I just said made no sense because it made no sense in the movie. The CGI they used on the brother was pre-2005 CGI. It was awful. There are so many other problems with this movie.<br />
Let's talk about the Joker. During the marketing campaign, he was used as a focus point for this movie. This movie basically has nothing to do with the Joker at all. He is hardly in this movie. You could cut out every scene with the Joker and the movie would still make sense. I bet you anything, that the only reason they included Joker was because the studio knows the Joker is very popular. The Joker has no purpose in this movie besides being a marketing tool. They wanted to fit him into the movie. They wanted to give him purpose and by doing so, they decided to cram in one of the best comic story lines, MAD LOVE (The origin story of Harley Quinn) into just 3-4 minutes of screen time by using really disjointed flashbacks that don't belong in this movie anyway. It also doesn't help that I hated this portrayal of the Joker. Jared Leto seemed like he was doing a terrible impression of Heath Ledger's Joker. I hope we never get to see this Joker again. He was a terrible addition to this movie.<br />
Tone was a big problem in this movie. It felt like there were two movies jammed into one. One movie had a darker tone, the other movie had a lighter tone. The thing that pained me the most is, you can tell that there is a much darker version of this movie out there. I wish the stuck with that tone.<br />
This movie was a movie with no real structure to it. There are a whole bunch of flashbacks. Flashbacks that happen all throughout the movie. All of these flashbacks just don't make sense. It seemed like they filmed each scene in this movie, than inserted those scenes at random. They just didn't make a cohesive story.<br />
Suicide Squad is a movie that doesn't have good grasp of what it is. Even though it has standouts like Deadshot and Harley Quinn, it doesn't have enough to call it an enjoyable movie. With missteps that have to do with tone and pacing, Suicide Squad turns out to be a movie that will be forgetful and boring. I give Suicide Squad a 2/5.<br />

The USS Enterprise is exploring the deepest parts of uncharted space. During their expedition, they get attacked and crash land on this mysterious planet. The crew of the Enterprise get separated as they try to survive the evil wrath of Krall.<br />
This movie is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. And it does so in the best way possible. Beyond has what you wan't from a blockbuster but, it is also paying respect to the original cast and crew. Beyond is essentially a small independent film inside a big blockbusters body. While it has action and explosions, it doesn't loose sense of what Star Trek is. You have the humor, the great characters, and a great story. You will be entertained by Beyond from beginning to end.<br />
The best part about this movie is the writing. Simon Pegg and his writing partner make it so this movie has a great sense of character because, the most important thing to the Star Trek movies are its characters. Everything the characters say to one another feel very organic and not forced. This movie has great character moments intertwined with the whole movie. Especially the moments between Bones and Spock. This movie knows what to do to be a summer blockbuster but, it also makes sure the characters are in the forefront of it all.<br />
Idris Elba does a great job playing the villain Krall but, his character doesn't have as much depth as you might want from a villain. This happens throughout the whole entire movie. You never really understand the villains motives until the end. But even when you figure out why Krall is doing the stuff he is, it doesn't pay off. Don't go into this movie looking for a great villain because you won't get one.<br />
There was a great new addition to this movie and that was the character of Jaylah. She was awesome. She was a great action star, she looked great, and she had some funny lines. The best thing is she never got annoying. You will come out of this movie loving this character.<br />
Star Trek Beyond is my favorite movie in this rebooted franchise and it is definitely towards the top on my list of the best Star Trek movies. It's a movie where each act builds on top of the previous one. The first act is good, the second act is great, and the third act is awesome. The movie gets better as it goes on. It hooks you from the begging and then it takes you on a journey that became one of my favorite films of the year.<br />
With the smaller character moments and the throwbacks to the original Star Trek Beyond is a phenomenal Star Trek movie. I'm going to give Star Trek Beyond a 4.5/5.<br />
<br />
RIP Leonard Nimoy & Anton Yelchin. He went too soon.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Star Trek: Into Darkness is the follow up film to the 2009 reboot of this franchise. This film once again tells the adventures of the crew upon the USS Enterprise. When Starfleet suffers a terrorist attack from a mysterious personage, the crew must find this man, and bring him to justice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When this movie first came out three years ago, I was a big fan of it. I believed it to be one of the best Star Trek movies. At that time in 2013 I wasn't a big Star Trek fan. Today, I have grown into a mild Star Trek fan. I love the TV shows, and most of the classic movies. So when I re-watched this movie, I very much disliked it. It didn't feel like a Star Trek film. I wasn't attached to the property in 2013 so I didn't care that it didn't feel like Star Trek. But right now, I'm more familiar with this property so it bugged me, badly, that this didn't seem like a Star Trek film. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are not a mild-big Star Trek fan like I was in 2013, you will get a kick out of this movie. It has great action, and the cast once again brings it with their portrayals of the classic Star Trek characters. If you are not attached to this property there is a very good chance you will like this movie. There is enough in this movie to make it enjoyable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found it really hard to enjoy this movie. I tried to appreciate everything in it for what it was, but I just couldn't. It didn't feel like Star Trek. What I like and appreciate about Star Trek is it's simplicity. If you go back and read <a href="http://theteenmovieguy.blogspot.com/2016/07/star-trek-2009-review.html">my review of the 2009 film,</a> I praised it for not overcomplicating its self. Into Darkness did the opposite of what the 2009 film did. It lost the true sense of what Star Trek is. It didn't focus on the characters. Into Darkness focused on action, focused on making it a big, blockbuster epic, that it lost the true sense of what Star Trek is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In conclusion Star Trek: Into Darkness had potential to be a great Star Trek film. It just didn't have the charm the 2009 film did to make it feel like Star Trek should feel. I will give Star Trek: Into Darkness a 2/5.</div>

<a href="http://www.startrektrekie.com/startrek/Posters/images/Star-Trek-2009-Movie-Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.startrektrekie.com/startrek/Posters/images/Star-Trek-2009-Movie-Poster.jpg" height="320" width="216" /></a></div>
This contemporary telling of the classic franchise as told by J.J. Abrams is a prequel story to the classic Star Trek tales. James T. Kirk, a member of Starfleet tries to live up to his father's legacy, but he finds it hard to do with Commander Spock forcing him to play by the rules. When time-traveling Romulan tries to destroy the federation one planet at a time, Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise must work together to stop Romulan, and save their captain.<br />
This movie does a great job at establishing and developing these characters. There is no exposition when it comes to getting to know these characters. When you first see them you know who they are and what they are like. That makes it so you will feel for these characters all throughout the movie. The movie made me feel like I have known these characters for a long time. They get you so invested, so quickly, and that leads to having a great journey. Now, a big help to this are the performances. Especially Chris Pine who played Kirk. He embodies this character, he understands who this character is. He didn't play it as a carbon copy of Shatner's original portrayal, he made it his own while keeping the core of Kirk the same.<br />
Not every character was well polished. The villain Romulan played by Eric Banna was very one note. When I first saw him I was enjoying his presence on screen. But as the movie went on, I was getting tired of him. He was doing the same thing over, and over again. He never changed and that lead to a bigger problem. If you don't see the villain as a serious threat, you really have no reason to cheer for the heroes. When our heroes first encounter Romulan, he immediately came across as a low level threat. So during the movie when they were trying to do something to overcome Romulan, you automatically knew that they were going to win. If a movie doesn't have dramatic tension, it is very easy to loose interest in it. I was very close to loosing interest in this movie.<br />
I appreciate the simplicity of this movie. It's a movie that depends on it's characters. It doesn't loose its self in trying to make it a big, spectacular, epic. A lot of movies now depend on their action set pieces rather than their story and characters. This movie did a great job at finding the perfect balance between the story, the characters, and the action. Apart from the story that has to do with Romulan, this is a great watch. It is a great movie. I'm going to give Star Trek a 3.5/5<br />

You had last years Cinderella which absolutely blew me away with how beautiful it was and then you had this years The Jungle Book which totally changed the game for the visual effects industry. They should be expecting the same success coming next spring with their next adaptation, Beauty and the Beast.<br />
This trailer is beautiful. It is only a teaser trailer so it doesn't show you any "actual footage" but, it does show you some incredible shots from inside the Beast's castle. It starts off by showing you the Grand Ballroom which we can probably assume will be the location for the classic "Tale as Old as Time" scene. This room, along with the other rooms of the castle that this trailer shows you, look visually stunning and I know they will look even better when the movie comes out. After this trailer takes you on a "tour" of the other rooms in the castle it shows you the portrait of the prince with the Beast's claws shredding it, which is obviously alluding to the moment that was in the classic 1991 film. The icing on the cake for the first half of the trailer was the song they played in the background. The song was "If I Can't Love Her" from Disney's Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast. This is my favorite song from that show and it isn't in the 1991 film, so I screamed a little when I heard the piano play it in the background.<br />
The so called "second half" of the trailer starts off with Ewan McGregor voicing Lumiere and Ian McKellen voicing Cogsworth. They talk about how there is a girl entering the Beast's castle and how she could be the one who lifts the curse. From the three lines of dialogue these characters say to each other, you can already tell that they will have great chemistry. I can't wait to hear them sing in the actual movie.<br />
Then we get to the final shot of the movie. You see an up close shot of the iconic rose that counts down the days till the curse will forever stay upon the castle. When you see this rose, you simultaneously hear the very subtle but, very prominent piano play one of the most iconic songs, "Tale as Old as Time" also known as "Beauty and the Beast" play in the background. Being the huge Disney fan that I am, I couldn't help but smile and tear up a little when I heard it. Then you get the shot of the beautiful Emma Watson as Belle looking at this rose.<br />
This was a perfect teaser trailer for this movie. It gave you a sense of how they modernized it but it also gave you the same feeling from the classic animated movie.<br />
I can't wait for this movie to come out. Besides Star Wars: EP VIII, this is by far my most anticipated movie of 2017. I just can't wait to see what they do with it. I can't wait to see the character designs of all these characters. What will Mrs.Potts look like? What will the Beast him self look like? And I just can't wait to see Emma Watson as Belle in her beautiful, iconic yellow dress. When we first see that image, I will be filled with tears of joy. That moment in the animated movie is in my top 5 all time film scenes. I also sure hope they keep this a musical (which they have to, right?) I'm getting really anxious right now because I want to see the singing and dancing dishes during the Be Our Guest number.<br />
I also can't wait to see this amazing cast. This is one of the most impressive/most talented casts I have ever scene. Like I said you get the beautifully talented Emma Watson as Bell, Ewan McGregor (who is one of the most underrated actors) as Lumiere, and one of the most talented men who have ever walked this planet, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth. Along with those actors you have Dan Stevens who will play The Beast, you have six time TONY award winning actress Audra McDonald as the very operatic Wardrobe, you have Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as Le Fou, Stanly Tucci as a the grand piano/maestro, and last but certainly not least Emma Thompson as Mrs.Potts. Read that list of actors and tell me you aren't excited for this movie. See, you can't do it.<br />
I didn't think I could be looking forward to this movie anymore then I already was. But this trailer made it so I'm excited beyond belief. March 17th, 2017 could not come any quicker. I want this movie now! This trailer made my inner Disney geek shine a little brighter.<br />

<a href="http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/sites/default/files/teamsvscivilwarposter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/sites/default/files/teamsvscivilwarposter.jpg" height="320" width="216" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the Avengers were on a covert mission in Lagos, Scarlet Witch accidentally did something to cause an unexpected amount of damage. That caused the UN to write up something called "The Sokovia Accords." These accords say that the United Nations choose when it's necessary to call in The Avengers. Iron Man believes that the Avengers need to be put in check and is pro-Sokovia Accords. Captain America believes that if he sees a problem going south the team has to go fix it even if someone doesn't tell them to and is anti-Sokovia accords. These two different political ideologies causes a rift that tears the team apart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This movie is ultimately about friendship and vengeance and how when those two things come together, you can experience some of the biggest problems you will ever face. It dove in deep into those themes while at the same time continuing the MARVEL humor that we are all used to at this point. When I first heard about Captain America: Civil War I was worried that the movie was going to be more Captain America: Civil Dispute than an actual war between these characters. It was definitely a "War" between the two sides. I was impressed with the way that it introduced the problems in the movie. I was surprised with how serious they took these problems. They grounded this movie to make it a movie where you felt that every decision that was made will have a dramatic effect on someone or something. The movie depicts the political and social issues/conflicts with such maturity that you will understand everything that is going on. You will never get confused on why characters are doing certain things. You understand why every single character is fighting for the things they are. There isn't one moment where you question a character's motives. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This movie is also a ton of fun. The action in this movie is literally some of the best that Hollywood has ever produced. The only thing wrong with the action in this movie happened in the very first action scene. It used the shaky camera effect to try and exemplify the action but that never works. Fortunately that only lasted for the first part of the first fight. But other than that you will hear no one complaing about the action in this movie. The stunt team for this movie did a phenomenal job at choreographing the fight scenes. Most of the fighting you see in this movie is hand-to-hand combat. It's very impressive and difficult to show that on camera with so much more going on. The stunt men deserve some major praise for the jaw dropping stunts they incorporated into this movie. They did such a great job at incorporating CGI explosions, chase scenes, and other awesome moments into the action scenes. The airport scene is some of the best action I have ever seen in any movie ever. Not just in comic book movies, but movies in general. During this scene you will be on the edge of your seat, geeking out the whole time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A difficult task for this movie was to introduce two new characters. One of those characters was Black Panther played by Chadwick Boseman. Right when you see this character, they give you a reason to get behind him. I didn't know anything about Black Panther. After I saw this film, I felt like I knew everything. They mentioned his origin story in a matter of seconds. They made you understand the character in such a short amount of time. When you first see Black Panther fight, you get right on board with him. You will not be able to wait for his standalone movie coming 2018. However, with how great Black Panther was, he was not the best new character. The best new character is Spider-Man. He only has about fifteen minutes of screen time and this is the best Spider-Man movie ever. His chemistry with Tony Stark is impeccable. This is the best Spider-Man we have ever had. Tom Holland portrays this character so closely to what Spider-Man should be. I can't say anymore without spoiling it but, trust me when I saw you will be very pleased with Holland's portrayal as Spidey. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero and Holland definitely did the character justice. He's my favorite Spider-Man ever. I can't wait to see his standalone movie coming next year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
MARVEL has always had problems with their villains (aside from Loki.) You never really understand why they are doing the things they are doing. But like I said before, you understand why every character is doing the things they are doing, and that included the villain Zemo played by Daniel Bruhl. You understand his mentality and why he feels the way he does. He is not your stereotypical "mustache twirling" villain. He has depth and character. They made sure they didn't make him a throw-away villain. He doesn't really have that much screen time but, he didn't really need to. The main source of conflict comes from Cap and Iron Man so the conflict that Zemo adds is just a bonus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The writing in this movie did such a brilliant job at not making it obvious which side you should join. During the whole movie you switch between cheering for Iron Man and Cap. The whole thing that was "Team Iron Man" or "Team Cap" was just a promotional gimmick. You don't know which side you should cheer for. It makes it very interesting. And that is what good writing is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course without spoiling anything I'm just going to say, Ant-Man. Ant-Man, Ant-Man, Ant-Man. You will know what I mean once you see this movie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another thing that should be appreciated is how good Robert Downey Jr. was. Every single movie Tony Stark is in he has developed. The Tony Stark you see in Civil War is a completely different Tony Stark than the one in the first Iron Man. It's nice to see the continuing development of Tony Stark. Also the emotional scenes were tremendously acted by Robert Downey Jr. He was the best performer in this movie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Civil War does have some problems with it. One of the "big reveals" that was revealed by Bucky was a little underwhelming. There were a few scenes that could've been done better. There was one scene that Steve Rogers listened to someone give a speech and that speech motivated Steve Rogers to finalize his position. The goal that the scene was trying to achieve could've been done in a better way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The big question is where does this rank amongst the other MARVEL movies. I would rank it at number five. I would put it behind The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy. I am going to give Captain America: Civil War a 4/5</div>

<a href="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/41942/Captain_America_the_Winter_Soldier_41942.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/41942/Captain_America_the_Winter_Soldier_41942.jpg" height="320" width="219" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Let's continue the Captain America Marathon with The Winter Soldier! </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> One part spy thriller, one part character journey, one part action movie and, one part superhero film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is t</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">he best comic book film to come to the big screen.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Captain America 2 has much more depth than what we have seen previously in other comic book movies. They were able to accomplish that because the directors didn't treat this like a comic book movie. They treated it like a political/espionage thriller first, then they treated it like a comic book movie. Most comic book movies have that feel that they are there to showcase the hero and how awesome he/she is. In this they wanted to showcase the political drama. They knew they had something special with the story so they made the smart move and decided to put emphasis on that instead of putting all their attention on making great action set pieces. They needed to do that because this movie will/already has changed the future of this franchise. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> I know I'm talking a lot about the story but that is by far the best thing about this movie and I really can't say enough about it. The story is superior to anything else we have seen before. It's grounded in reality. There are no aliens in this movie and even better, there are no giant alien worm things coming out of holes in the sky (yes, that is a reference to the first Avengers.) The events and conflicts that happened are the kind of things you could expect to see happen today. That made it so it was easier to relate to everything that was going on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> The best action scenes in film history, (not just comic book movies), happen in this movie. You have the Nick Fury car chase, the Captain America vs. Winter Soldier highway battle, the beginning scene on the boat and, the elevator scene. When I was watching this I cheered out loud because these are some of the most adrenaline rushing scenes I have ever seen. They were all choreographed really well and, it was nicely edited. The scenes were very smooth shot action scenes which is particularly hard to find these days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> As expected Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie (The Falcon), and Samuel Jackson all do great things in the movie. The biggest surprise however was Robert Redford. Never in a million years would I have thought that Redford would sign onto a comic book movie. I didn't think Redford was the type of actor who would do well in big studio films. He was just so good. His chemistry with everyone was spot on. It seemed like he belonged in there. I'm still kicking my self in the head because I doubted Robert Redford, You never doubt Robert Redford. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> One thing this movie didn't have which I really wish it did was the Captain America theme used in the first movie. Even though I loved the feel of this movie, I missed a little of that Captain America charm that was there in the first movie. I believe that was due to the fact that they didn't keep the same composer which was a mistake. In all reality, that is my only nitpick with this movie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Captain America: The Winter Soldier is my favorite comic book movie of all time. It balances everything out perfectly. I'm going to give Captain America: The Winter Soldier a perfect 5/5.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span>theothermovieguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07359685099890150339noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792147016107858372.post-8422316476921575082016-05-01T19:57:00.001-07:002016-05-01T20:23:11.698-07:00Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Review <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With Captain America: Civil War coming out this week, let's revisit the movie that kicked off the character!<br />
Steve Rogers is just a young man from Brooklyn with hopes of joining the military. Rejection after rejection, Rogers finally finds his way into joining the US Army. Rogers finds his way into becoming the "super soldier" Captain America and along with it, has to defeat the terrorist group known as Hydra.<br />
The negatives in this movie are very few. However, they are prominent enough that they end up making a big difference on how you enjoy the movie. Right from the start they show the character of Steve Rogers before he took the "super soldier" serum. In order to create this effect that Steve Rogers was a small, skinny guy, they had to CGI Chris Evans's face onto another person. There isn't much they could do about this but, it just looked bad. You could obviously tell that they had to computer generate his face onto another guy. But like I said, I don't know what they could have done to fix it.<br />
One thing that has always been Marvel's weakness (apart from Loki) is their villains. I wish this movie was an exception but, unfortunately it wasn't. You never get a clear understanding on what Red Skull's motivations are. You get a sense that he is evil, you just don't get a good sense of why he is evil. You have a basic understanding at the beginning but as the movie goes on, you can't gather information (because there is none) as to why he wants to accomplish his goals. Also at the end of the movie he gathers a pretty big army. You don't know how he got it, and you don't know why he got it. And frankly you don't really know why he needs it because he goes a long and tries to do everything by him self anyways.<br />
This movie does have quite a few things going for it. The one-liners in this movie are hilarious. The only way one-liners can work is when the cast has great chemistry with each other. And the cast has exceptional chemistry with each other. Going along with that, the movie was really well casted. From Tommy Lee Jones playing a colonel in the US Army, to Sebastian Stan playing Rogers's best friend Bucky Barnes, you enjoy watching what these actors bring to the screen.<br />
The thing the bugs me the most about comic book movies is the love interest. The majority of the time I am always so annoyed with the romantic interest. They always take focus away from the movie and turn a comic book movie into a wannabe romance movie. However, the love interest in this movie is my favorite in a comic book movie. It is my favorite because the character of Peggy Carter just dominates in every single way. She is heavily involved in the action in the movie, she is heavily involved in the plot of the movie, and she is heavily involved in the development of Steve Rogers's character. When you have those 3 things in the love interest, it turns the love interest into a great character that you don't even think of as a love interest.<br />
The thing that I love most about this movie is that it takes place during World War II. World War II is one of my favorite time periods in history and I love when ever I see a movie that takes place during it. Apart from this being a comic book movie, it's a great period piece. It captures the struggle of the allies during the war, along with the sense of victory for the allies when the war ended. This is one of the best WWII movies out there.<br />
I can't finish this review without mentioning the spot on performance of Chris Evans as Captain America. He just embodies the character so well. Evans as Captain America is my favorite portrayal of a comic book character.<br />
When you first hear the Captain America March composed by Alan Silvestri, you get right on board with this movie. It will be hard trying to restrain your self from cheering when you see Captain America fighting along with the US Army. I'm going to rate Captain America: The First Avenger 4/5.theothermovieguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07359685099890150339noreply@blogger.com0
