John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Why does Paris not have a police force!?
I've seen the first John Wick, and it delivered on many levels. I haven't seen the other Wick films, however, I caught this one recently.
I don't understand how "action" can be a substitute for everything else. There is no plot in this movie -- the dialogue could have been made up on the spot and it won't matter.
Also, bullets don't kill people -- all clothing is bulletproof, and 2 headshots minimum to ensure the baddie is dead.
As per the fight scenes... they're long. I am not sure if they're good... but they definitely are long. Some are so long, you'd forget why they're fighting (which isn't a problem to be honest).
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Robot Chicken Star Wars
There were times in this movie where I honestly believed the scene in question would serve better as a skit in Robot Chicken Star Wars. There were other times when the movie became Harry Potter... new force spells galore.
There appears to be some sort of a vacuum when it comes to hiring the right talent in imagining up dark characters. Almost everyone who is supposed to be "dark" or "evil" is little more than an angry hormonal teenager.
Daisy Ridley plays Rey as well as the story allows, and Finn and Poe are their usual selves. Unfortunately for us, what the story allows is a retelling (yet again) of what the force is capable of, and a rehash of (yet again) all the predictable twists.
I think Disney should turn this whole thing into an animated series... perhaps create a young princess leia and simply make it all about love and babies. You know, stick to your strengths.
I Love You, Daddy (2017)
It's not Horace and Pete... but not terrible either.
The film unfortunately doesn't hit as hard as I had hoped. The writing in a single exchange from Horace and Pete is superior in every way. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film, but it never hits any sort of high. Not a single conversation is thought provoking in any real manner. The questions this film raises aren't well defined, and the comedic value is missing altogether. I am not sure what Louis was attempting here, but perhaps my review is marred by revelations about Louis that I simply can't get around.
Oceans Rising (2017)
Did I just watch this? ... apparently not.
It's probably unfair to give a movie 1/10 given there are quite a few people involved in putting even a terrible effort like this together, and one can't help but feel a little bad for them.
However, I think everyone reading this will rejoice that my review is based purely on other people's reviews, and I have actually not seen this horrible picture. In fact, I plan on never watching it.
Thanks other reviewers, appreciated!
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
This movie sucks.
This movie is nauseating.
I felt sick from the dialogue. And not just make believe sick to make a point, but literally like throwing up. Initially I thought it was the pizza I'd had earlier, but I was wrong.
The two more known names (to me) were Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel -- I like 'em both. Respectively, one of them does a voice-over for a raccoon, while the other is a talking tree. The tree only has a single line that it keeps repeating... "I am Groot".
What more needs to be said?
The special effects are very good -- in fact, I would have given this movie 2/10 had they removed all dialogue. But, alas, we have to sit through an inspirational speech, where the pivotal line is, "we can change that, by giving a s#*t". Epic.
Noah (2014)
Accurate to the biblical story.
As a young earth creationist who firmly believes that the Bible is the literal word of God, I have to say I absolutely loved this movie. The Bible in both the first and second testicle hint that God is actually a transformer Herself, and this adaptation is a brave attempt at revealing this fact.
Also, the stone transformers the movie depicts are actually conjured from the spirit of God, and the first stone transformer to appear is Jesus before he was born to Mary. This is never told to the audience, but if you rub your nipples gently when Jesus appears, you will feel his spirit deep inside you.
I recommend this movie to all Christians, Jews and Muslims, as we are all one and the same. The non-believers should go watch LOTR or Harry Potter instead, since they think wizards and elves are real... lol... what a bunch of idiots.
