Men In Black Review


Men In Black



So Men In Black stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and is about a New York Police Officer who joins a secret organization called the Men In Black and this organization is responsible for keeping control of the extra terrestrial life that is on earth.




So lets get into the this review, I have to say that this movie is very good, the plot is intriguing and the movie is a fun time. Now the two lead Actors Smith and Jones are just fantastic in this role I really liked their chemistry I think they worked well together. Now this movie was made in 1997 and this movie did have some good special effects for that time, it did also win an Oscar for best makeup, which it deserved! Now I love a movie that just goes out to do what it sets out to do and this movie does that it wants to create an action science fiction that is just fun and it does that. This movie is also a comedy as well and I loved the comedic moments you will find yourself laughing at times in this movie, I felt that all the humor was perfect and so relatable and I loved it. I also really love the idea of this happening for real on earth, the idea that guys are trying to make sure aliens are kept under control, it just makes me want to try to pull off everyone face to see if its a mask of an Alien. I also love the villain in this movie he's somewhat weird, and creepy and he looks just creepy!

Now there are a few minor things that I have problems with, first off I feel like the movie is just to fast paced one minute something's happening the next we are on to the next thing. I felt that the movie just needed to slow down the movie is an hour and a half and I think it might have benefited from being just a little bit longer and slowing down a bit. Now I also thought the movie was just a little slow at the start up, it takes so much time to actually get into the main plot and it is just a little boring at first.

So all in all a fun movie that I would seriously suggest seeing!!! So as for my ratting I'm going to give this movie a 7/10.

So what did you think did you agree?

Not Another Teen Movie


Not Another Teen Movie





So Not Another Teen Movie is another one of those movies are doing something as simple as making fun of  movies, and I have to say I have a soft spot for these movies they are completely stupid and just should stop being made really but I do watch them anyway just because they are stupid I guess. So lets start with the positives of this movie there are some parts where I laughed,  the movie also has some cameos and I love looking for things I recognize from other movies. That's pretty much it for positives.






Lets face it these movies are dumb and if you hate them I can see why, these movies are not at all like the old movies making fun of movies... they are just dumb. The humor is just kind of stupid for the most part and your just going to want to poke your eyes out for the most part. There are some moments that I actually enjoyed the humor but very few parts. This movie also feels extremely long its only like an hour and a half but it feels like about six hours!!!! It just goes on and on and on. the acting is cheesy but I guess that is how they are supposed to be acting so really its not that bad. Just everything that could make a movie negative is in this movie. I have watched the other kinds of movies that are making fun of movies and there are certain things that are memorable like they have songs and lines from the movie that are just hilarious and you cant help but repeat. These movies are just those things that you have to watch. So this is going to be an extremely short review but I just don't know what else to say about this movie except for the fact that the movie sucks really they can be funny and you just can't help but watch it just because of how bad they are.


So as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 2/10 because there are a couple of good laughs.


So what did you think? Let me know and thanks for reading!!!

Neighbors Review



Neighbors


So Neighbors stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron and Rogen plays the father and husband who has to deal with the fraternity next door lead by Efron's character. Things get out of control though when the fraternity gets to rowdy and its war between frat and family man. Ok so my first thoughts is that this is just a fantastic comedy!! I absolutely loved this movie it was hilarious!!!

So lets get started with the negatives for this movie because there are so few of them. First I want to start with a negative that really probably shouldn't be called an official negative there are two actors in the movie who I just am not a fan of and those two are Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. I don't know what it is about these two but I think its just there voices they are just annoying and I don't always like them and they ruin the movie for me which really sucks. However in this movie they weren't overly annoying. Also Seth Rogen doesn't really act he is just his same usual self he plays the same guy and he never really changes but its not to the point where I'm annoyed with him.  Now to real negatives, I felt there was some shaky cam kind of it felt like the camera was being held on someone's shoulder and they just got so tired with holding it that they tried to adjust or maybe there were even parts where they were doing something funny and they were actually laughing and I don't it just didn't work for me. There is also one little thing that really is pretty minor there are some humor that is just not funny that was supposed to be funny but very few of those moments.

Now the rest positives and there are a lot. Now lets start with Efron! Holy crap did he do amazing in this movie. He started as a Disney star and I know no Disney star ever turns out but Efron just might be the one Disney star to be successful!. He did so well and I loved it so much. Now the humor in this movie was just hilarious, the movie was just so relatable we all know someone who we would just go to an all out war!!!  I think there was much laughter in the movie theater with everyone else and I just think that everyone can relate and everyone will love the humor in this movie.The chemistry between the cast is great and it really shows and it just seems like they had a great time filming this movie. Now the dialogue in this movie was fantastic as well it was just so real I felt like I was actually in the movie with them. I really feel that this could be the movie of the summer!!! I feel that pretty much all of the best comedies come out during the summer season and I think this might just be the summer movie. 22 Jump Street comes out soon but I still think that this one will be the one. Now there were actually a few messages in this movie that just gave the movie heart! They just put it in there and kind of hid it on you so they didn't just throw it in your face you kind of just realized as it went along and I really liked that. I also loved the direction of this movie and I really loved the ending of this movie as well I think it just wrapped everything up perfectly.

So all in all an amazing comedy that will be hard to beat as far as comedies go as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 8/10!

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!!

The Amazing Spider-Man


The Amazing Spider-Man



So The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot in 2012 for Spider-Man, and I have to say it was alright. Now I have already but up a review for the second in this rebooted series so has promised here is the first for this series. So I have to start with something that I forgot to add with the last review but it works with this movie as well and its the marketing for these movies. The trailers make it seem like the movie is going one way and then actually goes another way which just drives me nuts. Also for the new one the trailer and the rest of the marketing just give the movie away, there's just to much in there that I feel like I've already watched the movie before I actually have seen it. Another thing I have to say that is negative about the movie is the fact that its boring and in a couple of ways. First of all the origin story is the same as the last Spider-Man that we saw in the Rami Spider-Mans and it wasn't all that different so it did kind of get boring. If you don't know the origin story then you might it enjoy it more. Also another thing that makes it boring is just the fact that the movie takes forever to get to the good stuff like origin stories do I guess but it was kind of boring at times. Another negative to this movie is the fact that Peter gives his identity away to way to many people. He doesn't exactly do this on purpose but he just does give it away a lot! I also have a couple of things that just bother me about this Spider-Man. This Spider-Man first of all is super cocky and he is just TOO cocky, yes I want him to be cocky but not that cocky. Another thing that bothered me about this Spider-Man is the fact his suit is just weird, it like sparkles and I didn't like it. Dr. Connors in this movie doesn't have enough time in this movie either, they didn't use him as a villain or as lizard. This problem was also in the second movie as well. Another thing that the two movies share in common is the fact that the movies feel so choppy like they wanted to do all these things and then they tried to put it all in and then it just got so choppy.

Now to the positives, I like Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man he is just a great Spider-Man, he does a good job and I like his performance. I also love Emma Stone in this film she does great as Gwen. I also love the chemistry between all the actors is great. Now I also have to say I loved the relationship of this movie with Gwen and Peter unlike the second movie they give just the right amount of time to the relationship and I loved every second of it. Speaking of Gwen I loved how they decided to keep this movie closer to the comics, they have Gwen in there who was actually interested in Peter first. Also something I liked is that his webs are what he makes his webslingers which I do like and it is like in the comics. I also love that he looks like a high schooler where Toby just looked to old to be playing the age that he was playing. Now the action and the special effects are amazing in this movie for the most part they are done well.

So my final thoughts are that I thought this movie was going to suck but in the end, it was a decent movie and a good time, so as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 6/10.

So thanks for reading and don't forget to tell me what you thought of this movie.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 Review


The Amazing Spider-Man 2


Well welcome back everybody today I review The Amazing Spider Man 2! So I realized that I haven't reviewed the first Amazing Spider-Man but I promise a review is on the way. So the first Amazing Spider-Man was a decent reboot, I didn't think it was as good as the MSpider-Man trilogy but a decent reboot. So this time around Peter is dealing with lots of villains including The Rhino, Electro, and The Goblin. Peter also struggles with his non Spider-Man life, finding out about his parents, Aunt May, and his on and off relationship with Gwen.


Ok so lets start with the positives in this movie. First of all the chemistry between the actors is just AMAZING. Peter and Gwen just are perfect and their chemistry is amazing! I think that is due in part to the fact that Garfield and Stone are dating in real life but its still shows well on the screen. Also the chemistry between Henry and Peter is also good, that is the little that we see of it. All the actors just did a phenomenal job in this movie, just perfect. I really think that Garfield owns the Spider-Man role and does just a great job with that. The effects in this movie are just OUTSTANDING! You see electro and you can like see through him and its just awesome! The  action and the effects were better than the first and it just really shows.

So now we get to the negatives and prepare there are a lot. Now lets start with the villains. I will admit I was worried about all these villains and I thought it would follow the path of Spider Man 3 and guess what it kind of did. All the actors did great in their roles well except for The Rhino who had this horrible Russian accent that I just could not understand! Rhino was also in the movie for maybe about 5 minutes and it was just a set up for The Sinister Six! So this character was just unneeded and annoying. We also have goblin and again a great actor and a great performance but from the time he put on the suit to the time that the big battle happened between him and Spider-Man it was like ten minutes that you see the goblin! It just all felt like a set up for The Sinister Six! Electro was the main villain and again he wasn't used much he's in two major fight scenes, one that was great in Times Square and the other that wasn't so great that lasted like 5 minutes before he was just taken out just like that. Also Electros character before he's Electro is just annoying and cheesy and stupid. The movie is also extremely choppy! The movie just felt like a bunch of scenes thrown together and it is just hard to watch at times. The movie wanted to be so many different things and had to many story lines it wanted to play in there was the whole Gwen Peter thing, there's college struggles, there's Aunt May, there's Henry, just all to much for this movie. This movie also was supposed to be a superhero movie but I felt that they made it more into a romance! The movie is almost two and a half hours long and I felt half of it went to Peter and Gwen's on and off relationship! Now these scenes were probably the best in the movie to be honest but I want to see a superhero movie not a chick flick! Now this is something that I never talk about but I have to talk about it here... the score in the movie is just AWFUL! They put in songs that sound like a character is like talking in his head or taking out loud but they aren't its the background music and its just weird and wrong! There are parts that do it well and its sad to say that Hans Zimmer did this score!

So all in all the movie is fun but still not a great movie! As for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 5/10.

My order of favorite Spider-Man movies

1) Spider-Man 2
2) Spider-Man
