22 Jump Street (2014)
Weird But One Of The Funniest Films I Have Seen This Year
The sequel to 21 Jump Street, is by far the funniest film I have seen this year. This was probably due to it being the weirdest film I have seen this year also, as you really couldn't predict what was coming next.
22 Jump Street has basically the same concept of 21 Jump Street, where Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill playing the two main characters get sent to college to investigate yet another drug case. When I heard about the plot and seeing the trailer, I was worried they would ruin the movie as like most comedy films, the only funny bits are in the trailer and the story looked the exact same as the first. However this movie made me laugh from start to finish. The trailer is only a teaser to what really is a great comedy film.
If you like the first movie, I would definitely recommend seeing the second as it is on par with 21 Jump Street, or even if I was pushed to make a choice between the two, I would say the second film is funnier than the first.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Good Film But Not A Must See (My Thoughts)
I went into this film not really knowing what to expect, after watching the trailer several times however, I came to the conclusion that it was going to be another film focusing solely on the action scenes.
After watching the film though, I take back my early conclusion. This film has a decent story line, where Tom Cruise as the main character actually conveys the characters emotions across extremely well and the relationship with the supporting actress, Emily Blunt, isn't forced and flows well.
However I was able to predict what was going to happen next at different stages in the film which is why I only say the story line is decent (satisfactory) and not good. The story line is enough to capture you for the majority of the film, apart from the couple irrelevant scenes but not so good that it leaves you amazed.
The action scenes were good, which boosts this rating as everyone likes the explosions and the well detailed close combat scenes but not enough to raise my rating above 7. I would say this film is a good one to watch currently, but not one that i suggest is a must see.
This is my first review, so if you found this unhelpful or not well presented, I apologies and hope to write better entries in the near future.
