Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
HEEEEEECCCCCKKKKKKKK YYYYEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!
This movie is awesome! I happen to be a Godzilla fan. So I'm not coming into this not knowing anything. I really loved this movie. My family and I were all excited for the last year and then the first trailer hit. My wife, myself, and my kids were so pumped. The CGI is amazing. Yes sometimes the sizes can sometimes change but they talked about this in Kong Vs Godzilla. They made choices so it fit better with the movie. Which is so fine. I am not about to judge it for that.
Anywhoooooo. The movie is so fun. It could be really bad but with the CGI and the story it keeps you watching. We all had so much fun. I love how Godzilla turns pink and just the fights. They knew what we wanted and gave us what we wanted as fans! And it loooks frrriiiiigin amazing!! I love this movie exceeded gross expectations.
This movie is so fun. Yes it's no Oscar movie but hell yeah it's a popcorn movie. My kids and I were yelling kick his....butt lol. It was great.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2024)
Wow..people are insane over this game. I really like it actually
Look.... Stop reading all this nonsense they disrespected Kevin Conroy. He knew what he was doing when he did it. Yes..he is my Batman too. I grew up with the Animated series and anything I could ever see with him as the voice I did. I love the Arkham games as well. Kevin knew these people and had worked for them. He wouldn't just let them crap on his name. Look it up! What the Rocksteady people say about it. Don't just judge because you wanted an Arkham game and it's not.
It is supposed to be different. While a part of we wants to play a Batman game now I still am having fun grinding away in this game.
Honestly I would give it an 8 now but I know down the line it's going to be better. Yes yes they disrespect the justice league. That's part of it. They are criminals! They have spent their whole criminal life trying to outdo them and now they are evil. They are evil!! Plus if you finish the story to which is good. (For now and later will be Squad). You will notice clearly something is up. We have a whole story to finish that will come later. Rocksteady knows what they are doing. As we get closer to all dlc and expansions released you will see. There is a long drawn out more complex story we are gonna get. So give it time.
Please stop with Kevin Conroy crap though. He was very pick and choosy about what he did. He wouldn't do it if it was not to the Batman he loved. Rocksteady wouldn't do that either. Plus look up online now..there are Easter eggs which says he will return. It's a game and that's the story for now. And we are only get a portion of it right now.
For those who want an Arkham game. Go play those. This is set in the same universe but it's a different game. If you want a game similar go play spider-man 2. This is a looter shooter.
I do think those who play this game in a year or two will probably have less hate as it will jump straight to what's next story wise but those who have it now have to wait.
Stop hating and wait. Wait for the full story to play out. Rocksteady would never spit on Batman like that. Neither would Kevin Conroy. There is more so give it time.
Gameplay is fun but it's different so be ready for that. I personally like it but I am excited for more to come out.
Thank you guys have a good one. Do some research before you just hate things. Plus use common sense and pay attention to the cut scenes. There is a much bigger picture. We just have to wait for it to play out.
Infinite (2021)
Laughable...which is the only reason I give this 2 stars
Wow...I watched this before and actually turned it off. It was soooo bad to the point I was yelling at my tv "WHAT". I watched this for Jason Mantzoukas as I listen to podcasts he is on and for the fact that even he talks about how bad it is. I gave it another shot one night and lol....man this movie sucks lol. The cuts make this movie make no sense. It is just bad it barley makes any sense and it's Marky Marky who I'm sorry just sucks. How old is he like 50. Oh cool let's. Make this middle-aged man. All sudden have this cool reality lol. The movie is just awful but it could've been may be a little better with a much younger actor, discovering all of us. Not saying that Mark Wahlberg is the worst actor ever but he's not great especially for this role. This needs to be some young actor who is maybe up-and-coming or who's may be kind of popular who is looking to be in action movies or even just somebody who's not 50 years old This movie should be for somebody who's somewhere between their 20s or 30s and not an actor that's playing somebody in their 30s an actual person who is that age. I don't turn off movies very often but I realize why I did it the first time this movie is bad. There is just a lot of the time you don't know what's going on they don't explain things fully and like I said, I was yelling at the TV going come on. Then just the whole thing they want to like make this a franchise so they give you all these cool little ending bits etc. I've seen better climaxes in a porno. If you just wanna be mad at a movie and laugh because it's that bad, this is kind of it. The only person that kind of gives you the ridiculousness of the movie that has is Jason. But when he even says the movie is crazy, that is saying something.
Ballerina (2023)
Great Movie
Nothing crazy. Just a solid film. Good action when needed and great story for what it is. I was on her side the whole time and felt it.
It says I need to put more in this review but above is all I have. That is not because I don't know have more to say. I don't think there needs to be more said. I really like this movie and the pace is good and I love that the our main character doesn't mess around. She is believable as who is she is and the acting is great for not a whole ton of lines.
Great revenge movie and filmed very well with excellent cinematography.
Simply put is a solid movie and you should watch it.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Mission Accomplished!
Great movie! It was amazing and there are some odd things but it makes it great but in talking with my person I realized it was odd.
Parts like the car with too much power are great and are funny. However, as I laughed my person leaned over and said isn't he like an expert with this type of stuff. Which thinking about it I was like... yeah you are right. Every single one of these movies Ethan know what to do and how the tech works. Now it may not always work correctly but he understands how to use it. So it was a bit odd to see him Turing in the window wipers and not knowing how to use the car etc. But also I get what they were doing as he had never got in that car before.
However I enjoyed it sooo much. Give it a watch and decide for yourself.
I still think a certain death in the movie was kinda lame to happen. I also am not really sure if it will stick. This movie gave me vibes of the first. Where there is going to be a lot more twist and turns in this next one that will do flashbacks to this one! With how this movie is using a lot of stuff from the original I think the next will continue that. Whether that will bring anyone back from the dead we will see but I bet there is a lot of back and forth because they need to trick the entity so they need to pretend to play a part etc.
Anyway. It's so good and I'm excited for the next one.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Not Better then the Anime But they did pretty good.
It felt very close to the OG anime. Yes there are changes so if you are looking for an exact mirror copy of the anime you prob won't be happy. I actually kinda liked they changed it a bit. As a huge fan of the anime it was nice to see a bit of change so I don't see every thing coming. It's similar enough that you know what's going on but just different enough people I notice. I love the music as it stick to the anime!! The intro!! So good!!! Classic!
If you are watching this and never the anime
Just know it's based on an anime and they tried to keep a lot of the fun things like the music etc. The only reason I give it an 8 is at point I thought the fighting felt to rehearsed it looks like dancing. That is just sometimes. Mainly the first fight scene. Also the CG can be a bit questionable but it's good and I still Enjoyed it.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Not as bad as they all say
Okay....yes it's not very good but it's not trash like everyone says here. I do think the majority of the hate comes from them making a second one with Lebron though. People love Jordan and want to compare it like he is trying to out do it etc. It's called a new legacy because Jordan is to old now etc so you need the new most famous and most would call the best player of current times. They even reference MJ and they clearly remember him etc. It's not like they are taking that away they are just going with a new player. Again, I think most of the below 4 star reviews have something to do with their love for the first, they hate Lebron, or they think MJ is the best and want to do the comparison thing to Lebron. The movie is not great. This movie was doomed to be hated when it was green lit. Yes I do think they could have gone with a different plot and it would have helped the movie a ton. Lebron could also be a better actor lol. Cause oooof. I watched it to just see and it's not that great but it's a movie you can turn on and watch and I'm sure kids will like it. It's a fun movie that could have been better but I don't think it deserves the hate it's getting. Again read most of the reviews most of the hate is from the reasons I said above. Just watch it as it's own movie where Lebron plays B Ball with looney tunes. They gave love to the first and had a few funny jokes about it etc. It's not great but it's what it is.
IMDb on the Scene - Interviews: Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
ALL THE REVIEWS ARE MOSTLY HATE FOR LBJ
Okay while I'll say it's not the greatest movie ever.. its also not as bad as people say. My biggest deal is the majority of the hate is comparing it to the last one. Or just Even the Lebron.vs Michael thing is annoying. I will agree acting not to great and the movie is silly plot but the CGI is pretty good and it's fun. But again I'm ranking it a 7 because it's okay. I liked it for the shoes to see the lebron 19 in action haha. Like I said though don't expect anything great and if you just hate lebron then avoid it and stop comparing. No one is trying to outdo it's just another one as people have wanted another for years. Yes it's not great but it can be fun if you stop the comparing of two players that will never play against each other.
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE!!!!!!
I love the first movie! This one they just give you more of "the wife" lol. Just like the first movie it is not supposed to be a serious move. The movie is a buddy action movie. It's funny and it never takes itself to seriously and that is what I love about both of the movies. The plots are wacky and crazy but it goes with the characters. Don't come into thing going I wanted serious or don't like how much they swear or banter etc. Look at the actors and realize it's gonna be exactly what it is! It's super fun and I laughed the whole time!!! Go in for one of those good old popcorn movies and you will have a great time!!
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
Simple amazing.
This show is amazing. It makes you feel happy and warm on the inside. I don't really know what else to say it is beautiful. Such a well written show. From laughs to the sad parts. All are great And the show makes you feel good and HAPPY. Just watch the show if you wanna be happy. So great and amazing.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Okay....walked out kind of unsure what I thought..however I liked it!
Okay...well...I had to change my review from what is below. I watched it a 2nd time and you know I think I'm just such a die hard fan I hated they changed some of the lore. However I get it they need to make it so anyone can go see it. Watching it again I actually found myself enjoying it. It's fun and the gore and all that is more of what I wanted. For a fan and just watching I do like it after seeing it again. I for sure will watch again.
Well this movie is not afraid to show what it is. The movie is soooo campy. Some of of the campy stuff is clever and fun and some of it had me shaking my head laughing. The action and special effects in the movie are great. I will say I like the story in the first movie better as they kept more to the characters not having these logo super powers.
I have played the games from MK1 to MK11 which I still play. So I know the story and how they can change but the thing they don't do is give people super powers that don't have them Sonya just wears wrist guards that allow her to shoot stuff. Jax doesn't grow his arms they are made. Also Kano he has a cybernetic eye. He doesn't have a power to shoot stuff out of his eye. Then like most of the other reviews having a new character "Cole" was not my favorite idea. I get the idea of we grow with him but you could have done that with Johnny Cage just like the Scorpions Revenge movie. The first part of the movie is dope!! It then starts to get campy. This is all fine I just am not a fan of the changes with the logo stuff and then the last epic fight get interrupted by Cole. All of us mortal kombat fans just wanted a Scorpion, Sub-Zero fight to the death. I do think they could have been more serious like the first part of the movie is but I see the direction they went but having no tournament was a bit wack to me. That is the whole point. Minus all the changes and add ins the movie is fun. I will say don't go in expecting a great movie. I am putting at a 9 because I love mortal kombat and I'm giving them credit as they knew it was campy and stuck to their guns. I do think there is more potential fo future movies if we can get any as I think you really could basically do the scorpions revenge movie but live action. Sure you keep the super powers as you already established that. I think a good idea is to make the next moves main person Johnny Cage. Sure keep Cole but please just use him as a secondary. You wanted to be campy but the same time add a new character as it would be better for story lol. So personally I think later installments if it gets any can be improved based on the feedback.
If you want a good laugh and some good action and entertainment this is is a fun movie. Just go in to have a silly fun time and not see a Oscar movie.
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
LOL!!!!!! Funny!!!!
This movie is funny! Totally just makes fun of the old west! My dad is the guy who has always wanted to be a cowboy as cowboy movies are awesome etc. Well this movie tells the truth about the frontier. It really was not that great and this shows that. This movie just makes me laugh through the whole thing. Plus it is not one of those movies where you need to think hard. You just laugh and have a good time! It is what it is stop expecting more then a silly comedy.
Tomb Raider (2018)
Clearly people don't do research. This movie is great!!
Okay...first off I want to say this is a movie that is based off the new series of games. Not the old ones I'm talking the game that came out in 2013 and since then 2 more have come out. While the old games are still cannon these are origins for her. This is where this movie comes to play telling you how she gets turns into who you know. Plus she is more modernized and made to not look so fake or the overly busty style. The old games are great but these new ones are so much better and that's what this movie try's to copy. It does change a few things up but it's a good movie and just google Tomb Raider and you will see where they are pulling this from.
Godzilla (2014)
Like the idea and the movie is entertaining
The movie is good but not great. I think this one is a victim of one of those films where the second one is better then the first. I say that because king of the monsters is much better. This movie is cool for the idea that we are gonna film the movie from the people point of view rather then a monster fight movie. This more reminds me of a disaster movie like a clover field etc. I like the idea but I think they miss the Mark with that's not what Godzilla is. I still like the movie for what it is but but I give it an 8 because it misses the Mark of not having Godzilla in it a ton and there are not really fight scenes that you can see clearly because they are always showing it from the POV of a person or helicopter with the exception of a few shots. But 90% is from human POV. It still is good though and a different take. If I'm being honest see this movie so you can then watch king of the monsters and king skull island. Then of course King Kong vs Godzilla. You get much more of the classic fight scenes like you want from monsters in those and even though the one is not out yet you will get fight scenes. As far as this movie this is for sure a rent compared to the next one that was a buy for me. It is still good though and like the idea but ultimately this is a movie that is solid but but not a knock out of the park or a Godzilla fan. It's more of a drama where they try to make people to involved. Of course they make stupid decisions and don't listen to the people who clearly know what they are talking about etc. You will like it though!!
Kong: Skull Island (2017)
I don't get the issues people have with this movie!
So after reading some reviews I just had to comment as I think people should see this movie. This is not the classic King Kong Movie people think of. If you want more of that then watch the classic movie or the one with Adrian Brody. This movie is great and delivers exactly what it is. It is part of the monster universe which is where Godzilla comes from. At this time you will see that Kong vs Godzilla is coming out so that will obvious now. I have heard that Samuel L Jackson is not the greatest but I disagree. He did a great job and the movie does a great job making you think one thing about him and then boom you think another thing. This is because he does a good job. You like him and how much he likes his men and cares for them at first but then once Kong takes a few of them out that love for his men becomes the thing you hate. You have to see how he feels to a point. He loves his men and just got done with a war where he lost a bunch of men for nothing as we pulled out of Vietnam. So basically he is frustrated that he lost men for nothing and he then takes that out on Kong. It's such a great turn of how you feel for the character. Sure some of the others don't have quite the arc but also you are going to see a kong movie you want action and this movie delivers. Dont expect something it is not. It is an action movie and a monster island. That is exactly what you get. Think about it that way and you will enjoy the movie a lot more! Oh also watch the the Godzilla movies if you have not! Then go see the new one for some nice action!
Monster Hunter (2020)
Way better then I thought it was going to be!
Okay...yes it's not an Oscar winner lol. I am a fan of the game and have played them all. This movie is fun and that's what it needs to be. The game you hunt monsters and I'll Be honest the story for the games Is ehhh. This movie gives you more of a survival feeling and I love that part! I also love how brutal it is. I think it could be cooler if it was rated R so that some of the deaths were more gruesome but it still does a good job and had me saying "oh wow that was brutal". Go in looking for a movie that is action from beginning to end and you will like it. I see a lot of people saying the cutting is everywhere. Personally I didn't see that. Also with my review I saw it with my wife and her friend who both came out of the theater saying they really liked it and started asking me questions about the game. Don't over think the movie. This movie is better then the last few resident evil movies but is the same type of deal. Go in because you wanna see some action and be entertained!
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
I am giving it a 10 for nostalgia sake right now
Okay....
Look I loved this movie as a kid. As in I use to watch it all the time. I gave it a rewatch today and I'm sorry but I still love it! Yes I will agree the others like ghost protocol and fallout are better. After this one they tend to get a little more serious. You got to know going in that you are watching a John Woo movie. I love his other films as they are classic action movies. That is what this is. If you come in looking for a good 90's style action movie then you are in for a treat. For sure this movie has flaws (like things like the tires on the motorcycles that change from street to dirt tires in different shots). Again...It's a John Woo movie and it does exactly that. Over the top etc. personally I like it better then 1. Yes it is classic but the first one to me is more cheesy and in my rewatch before this one it's dated. The 1st and 2nd one are almost different worlds as at 3 they go in direction where they are now.
Anyway...it's easy to watch and a good action movie and still one of my fav mission impossible movies. It's not as complex as the others but it's good ol' action.
Suicide Squad (2016)
REALLY FANTASTIC!!
This movie is great! Yes there are parts you may questions such as enchantress. She is the villain and there are some goofy things but honestly it's part of the character as well. If you watch this movie as a DC fan sure you can pick things you don't like..such as..I think killer croc should be more like he is in the animated series. You have Harley and Deadshot who kill it. Yes the actors are a big part of it but watch it for entertainment and you will be fine! Stop over analyzing and enjoy.
Harley Quinn (2019)
AWESOME SHOW!!!
This is a great show!!!!
Just amazing! It's very for adults as it is violent and very vulgar. Which = super fantastic! I love they can go so many directions with the DC universe! It awesome! Also the voice acting is on point!!
Just watch!
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (2020)
Bloody Fantastic!!!! This Movie is Siiiiiiick!!!!!!
I am an MK fan and have been playing the games from...well...that long.... it does give NetherRealm a chance to have their poster child (Scorpion) be in the like light and make him a good guy. They have been steering this way the last few games within the story but this movie makes it so by revamping the whole original cannon but I love that just made this new story! Oh did I mention the gore!! PERFECT! Mortal Kombat is about violence and this is what we needed! Over the top gore! I understand it may make it so kids can't watch but if they are not playing the game they should not be watching this movie anyway.
If you are an MK fan give it a shot you will like it! If you just interested..well.. just know it is very violent and if you are okay with it then you are fine it reinvents the story so no previous knowledge is needed!
Give it a shot it is Bloody Fantastic!
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Stop basing it off reviews and go see it
I see the reviews and some of what is said here is crazy. Bathe antagonist is Black Mask. I get they don't build it up as much but they don't need to it's Black Mask. They give you enough to know he is a crazy evil guy. Also the movie is wacky just like you want from a movie starring Harley Quinn. The Suicide Squad Movies she is one of the many here she is the main character so it's going to be crazier and wacky. Go in just looking for a good and fun movie and jus the entertained. Yes it is vulgar and violent and well that's what makes it that much crazier and wacky. Just go see it for yourself and don't expect suicide squad where there is more on the line expect a Harley Quinn movie
The Witcher (2019)
Great show!!
Just watch it and you will love it! I truly mean this. No mater If you read the book, played the games, or didn't. The show is great.
Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Dope!!!!!
Love the other two!! This one just is icing on top of the cake! So great as I always say no matter the reviews give it a chance for yourself. Keep an open mind and if you like the others you will like this one. Will and Martin killing it!
Sirius the Jaeger (2018)
AWESOME!!
This might not be as good as other vampire Anime like Castlevania. However I review based on enjoyment. The show is very good and has some of the more bad a$$ fights and kills I've seen. If you like an action, blood and vampires. Check this show out. I give it ten as this is my perfect anime. Also go watch Castvania.
Venom (2018)
Venom! VENOM!! VeNoM!!!
All I can say is just go see it!! Form
Your own opinion!!!! I personally liked it a lot! I wish it was R but at least we got a movie with a great actor right?
I loved it!!!!
