Fan service done right!
19 December 2021
Usually the term fan service is affiliated with poor movies. That's because it's extremely had to make a great movie that has the right amount of fan service, and the right amount of original story and plot. No Way Home does both in the best way possible! Absolutely amazing!

Lake Mungo (2008)
5/10
On the edge of being a great movie
10 July 2021
Lake Mungo really frustrated me. There were plenty of moments throughout the film where I thought they could go in some really interesting directions, but they never did. I felt like the movie was balancing on the tip of a knife, and could of fallen to the side of greatness or just another ghost story, and unfortunately it lands on the side of just another ghost story.

Borat 2 is basically just a liberal political statement
23 October 2020
The original Borat is the funniest movie I have seen. You could tell the interactions were genuine, and the movie didn't have a political agenda. Unfortunately Borat 2 is nothing more than a political statement with interactions that seemed scripted. It is basically just a long anti Trump commercial.

The addition of his daughter really hurt the movie too. She was not funny, and her acting obviously ruined any potentially authentic reactions. The only funny parts in the movie were when it was just Borat.

I admit I've only.watched the first episode, but WOW! I'm a very hard critic, and can honestly say this is the best first episode of a show I have seen in a very long time!

Gave it 10/10(to makeup for so many 1/10's) but it was a 9/10
20 December 2019
I am a huge critic of movies, especially Star Wars movies, and this movie was really good from start to finish. It's not a spoiler review so im not getting into details, but this movie was great.

Warrior (2011)
8/10
Really good but just missed being great
7 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this movie up until about 30 min left, I still really liked it but the ending was just too unrealistic. So Tommy the younger brother comes out of nowhere and beats the best fighters in the world easily without hesitation, I can buy that. There are always great fighters coming out of nowhere. Now the speed he beat people in was unrealistic but that wasn't what bothered me. What bothered me is his brother Brendan, not the character but what happened to the character. So he was out of fighting for awhile and all of the sudden he joins a contest with the best fighters in the world. He was obviously older than all of them and hadn't fought in years. In every fight he gets beat the crap out of but somehow in the last minutes he pulls off an amazing move and gets a tap out. Literally every fight of the tourney he gets beat up badly but wins. Nobody can take the beatings he took and pull out a win, maybe in the first fight but not in 4 fights in 2 days. And when he did fight in the past he wasn't even good, they mentioned he was a .500 fighter. I don't know that just kinda ruined a great movie for me. The movie as a whole was really good though.

Great Movie, Wish I Would of Seen it Sooner
21 August 2013
So I just watched Minority Report last night and I thought it was amazing. My favorite movies are futuristic movies, I also love futuristic cop movies. I also love Cruise and Spielberg, so this movie was my dream movie. I think this movie is very underrated even thought it has a 7.7, I think its Metascore(80) explains how good the movie actually is. I am starting to look at Metascore before the IMDb rating now because the Metascore is usually more telling. Of course the IMDb ranking is usually accurate. What I do is if you add the first number of the Metascore and the first number of the IMDb rating and it totals 14+(So say the IMDb score is 8.3 and Meta is 65 you would take the 8 and 6 and add them to get 14) than it should be a really good movie. With that method Minority report gets a 15.

Amazing, way better than I expected!
14 August 2013
When we learned about the new batman series I thought it would be a total failure. Batman Begins really proved me wrong, and I was set up to be pleased if each of them was as good as Batman Begins. Lets just say this movie blew away the first one and 99.9% of every other movie ever made. Bale played Batman perfectly, the best yet. What really made this movie as good as it is was Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker. It was one of the greatest performances ever, he simply nailed it. Michael Caine was the usual Michael Caine, he was great. Another person that made the movie as good as it was is Aaron Eckhart, he played Harvey Dent just like I imagined Harvey Dent. Then when he became Two Face and his personality and whole character changed he nailed it too. Of course Gyllenhaal and Freeman were great as well and the rest of the cast. If you haven't seen this then do yourself a huge favor and see it.

As good as it gets!
14 August 2013
Lord of the Rings the Return of the King is arguably the best movie in the history of movies. It is almost perfect, if not perfect. Peter Jackson will go down as one of the greatest Producer/Director of all time. So many times we see great books series butchered on the big screen, but not this time. This is 2nd best movie series of all time, the only reason its not first is because Star Wars wasn't a book before the movies which made it a little harder to make. But if you are just looking at how well each movie was it is the best series of all time.

Im not gonna go into much detail because I feel like a review on here should just let the person that is reading it know if the movie is good or not. If you have seen the first 2 than get ready to be blown away. Finally you get to see what happens to the ring and all the characters responsible for getting the ring to the place they can destroy it. Will they get there? If they do will they lose anybody else? What happens? Trust me watch this movie, along with all of your questions being answered you will also witness one of the greatest movies ever if not the greatest.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)
10/10
Best show I have ever seen
9 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
My headline I wrote was probably the hardest thing I have ever wrote, Seriously. I have always considered Seinfeld my favorite TV show with no real competitors. Well I have to say Seinfeld is no longer my favorite show, Breaking Bad is. Breaking bad is amazing, from the story to the actors who play the characters everything is perfect.

The Storyline hits home for me. I am a recovering addict who has been sober for a year now. I also was a dealer, not a big time like these guys are. The world of drugs and dealing is a dark place, yes at times you feel great and you do make a lot of money but no matter who you are if you are in that world you will face dark times and the lifestyle WILL catch up to you and bring you into a hole darker than hell itself. Which is where Walt and Jesse currently are in the story. But when they first started there venture into the world of drugs it looked glamorous with all the money and nice stuff. The growth of Walt's character has been amazing. He's gone from the "Good guy" to the "Bad Guy" throughout the story. Jesses character has kind of gone the opposite direction, now he's questioning everything he has done and wants to get out of the drug world. The characters we have met in between have made this show one of the greatest of all time. Everyone from the Mexican Cartel Hit Men to the Cartel themselves, to the Different drug dealers, and Jesse's girlfriends, Jesse's friends, Drug lords, Cops, Jesse and Walt's Families and all the other characters in between have made this show amazing.

What makes a great storyline even better are the people who play the characters. Bryan Cranston is an amazing actor and has played Walt perfectly, I mean he has nailed him. Aaron Paul has played Jesse perfectly, and has become one of my favorite actors. Anna Gunn has been amazing along with Dean Norris who plays the perfect cop. They couldn't of found a better Gus than Giancarlo Esposito. I mean every single character has been nailed, which is why this show is among the greatest of all time.

If you haven't seen this show than you are only hurting yourself. I would do anything to be someone who hasn't seen this show yet so I could re watch the greatest show of all time. Please do yourself a favor and watch this show, Every season and episode that has aired is on Netflix(first half of 5th season has just come out on Netflix).

F/X (1986)
7/10
Great Movie, Couldn't believe I had never seen it
2 August 2013
I had this movie on my Instant Queue for a long time and never watched it for some reason. Anyway I just got done watching it and loved it! It was way better than I expected. I saw it had a 6.5 before I watched it so I thought it would be good, but it was really good to my surprise. The idea was original and exciting. If you haven't seen it the story is a Special Effects guy is asked by the government to help fake a former Mob members death so the Mob stops going after him. It turns out that wasn't the whole story and Roland(The main character) is in for a wild ride. It keeps you thinking and it actually has a good bit of action.

If you have not seen it go watch it, I promise you will like it.

Pretty bad, really disappointing!
13 July 2013
Im not gonna go into a lot of detail, just what I didn't like.

May Contain SPOILERS One of the main things that stuck out was the whole movie Iron Man was getting his butt kicked. Literally every fight he was in he got beat up and in a few he was bailed out by humans and even a kid. Really? Now Iron Man has to be bailed out by a regular human child? That's one of the main reasons I hated this movie so much.

Another reason I hated this movie was in a lot of the scenes with Iron Man Stark wasn't actually in the Suit, he was controlling it from far away... Yea WTF! You would think he was in it then they would show him in a different area controlling the suit. I don't wanna see that, I wanna see Stark in the suit kicking bad guys butts.

Then there's the storyline. Im not gonna go into detail because I would be going on for days, but in short it was horrible. It was so far off from the original story.

In all this was a mess! TOTAL MESS!

Hilarious
13 July 2013
Overall this movie was pretty good, and super funny. I don't recall another time when I actually laughed out loud numerous times throughout a movie. The only reason this movie was so funny is the cast, if you put a whole different cast in the exact same story line with the exact same lines it would be a horrible movie. There was a couple things I didn't like though. Like Jonah Hills personality in the movie was so annoying, this was probably my least favorite roll he has played.

SPOILER The Funniest part by far was when James Franco was arguing with Danny Mcbride about cumming in his magazine. I was Rofling in the theatre. I really hope they do some kind of sequel but I don't know how they would considering what happened to everybody.

Man of Steel (2013)
6/10
Good but have a few issues
23 June 2013
Overall the movie was pretty good. Im not gonna go into a lot of detail but I will tell you the one thing that stopped this movie from being great.

SPOILERS The thing I hated about this movie and a lot of movies recently is the superhero(Superman in this case)is losing almost every single battle they get into. I also saw this in Iron Man 3. Anyway Superman lost pretty much every single fight he got into. He didn't do much fighting until later in the movie but once General Zod and his mineons got to earth Superman lost every battle he was in until the final one against Zod where he just barely pulled through at the very end of the fight. Cals dad said that he grew stronger than he would have because of the earths sun, so if he grew so strong than why could Zod and his minneons so easily beat him up? Also in Iron man 3 in the end of the movie the bad guys were beaten only because the regular citizen helped defeat the bad guys.
