Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Awesome entertainment!
This movie does exactly that what it was made for: offer a great 2.5 hours of entertainment. I think it was great fun for the eyes and ears and for sure one of the most entertaining movies of the year.
I really don't understand all those haters. The numbers speak for themselves: the movie made over 700 million in a mere 3 weeks. Its easy to say bad things about the movie but Mr. Bay understood the concept of making a box office hit perfectly and thats what its all about here. Obviously its not the movie with the best acting and the finest story but although there are some flaws, its decent enough. The story is actually not that bad and explained in a decent way throughout the movie. As for the jokes: some are lame but the crowd in the cinema had a good laugh so that says it all.
The special effects and computer animations are off the chart. I think this movie sets a new standard when it comes to cgi. This is a movie you must see in a cinema to enjoy it to the fullest. Just grab some beers, sit down, relax and enjoy the great show!
Crank: High Voltage (2009)
worst movie ever?
I went to see this movie without reading much about it. Just loved the first one so i thought this would be OK too. Wrong... What a piece of crap. probably the worst movie I've seen in ages. Even though its obvious in being over the top and makes fun of itself its just too bad to look at. Idiotic effects and things that make no sense follow each other in ultra high speed, alternated with babes and boobs and bad quality shooting scenes. and whats with the fighting scene near the end of the movie... no words for such a scene, especially in this movie.
safe your money and time and watch the wall for 90 minutes, thats more interesting.
From Within (2008)
not scary and not a thriller
Let me start off by saying it is not a bad movie. Acting is pretty decent and the characters are nice and enjoyable to watch. There is however a great flaw to make it a good movie or at least to make it the movie it could be.
The story: So in a town people start killing themselves. At first they think its just some suicide pact but as more people die it appears to be something else. There is some sort of curse which makes people see themselves and then help/force them commit suicide.
If you don't want to know what will happen, don't read the following.
The story is not that bad and could actually be very nice and scary but the truth is that its really nothing of that at all. As the curse spreads you see who will be next in line to die and thus there is no form of tension at all. As the person sees his/her own image in the form they will die in, its obvious what will happen next in the movie. For example if the girl is about to drown, she sees her own image with a drowned face etc, making it easy to tell what will happen. This is a great drawback and makes it just another mystery flick.
The nice points are the ending which is kinda unpredictable and the way the makers show Christian extremists and their way of thinking.
In the end the movie was enjoyable but if you are looking for a scary movie or even a thriller you can skip this one. If you are looking for a flick with a little blood and some killing, you might like it.
Far Cry (2008)
very bad movie...
I used to play the game over and over again cuz it was just fantastic. So when i heard of this movie i just had to see it, no matter what comments were written here.
If only i did read those comments and saved myself an hour and half: this movie is truly bad. at several points i wanted to turn it off and do more interesting things like staring at the wall or something, but as i wanted to write a comment here i finished it non the less. So Jack is a German (???) with a highly annoying accent and the acting is truly awful. there is some kind of fat guy in the movie who has absolutely no function but to annoy the viewer with his stupid comments and annoying shouts/jokes. The mercs look like they came from some fake ass 80's show. Although they are said to be the best mercs money can hire, they can't actually do anything right.
I do not want to fully flame it as there is one thing which is not too bad: the storyline does kinda resemble the game (although its not on a tropical island). This little plus makes sure the movie doesn't get a 1.
