Cerebral and Stupid
|
|
Lucy is probably not the movie audiences were expecting to see when they went to the theater this weekend (The movies going to finish the weekend with an estimated 44 million.) It’s weird, stylish, dark and thoughtful. But unfortunately it’s also really stupid.
I’m no scientist, but the leaps in logic here are distracting and unnecessary. This is strictly science fantasy, and the movie’s unfortunate decision to display the (flawed) logic behind the movies terrible hypothesis make this inc... |

Hercules Flexes More Than Muscles
|
|
After hearing just how much Dwayne Johnson went though to portray the half-god/half-mortal Hercules, I was interested to see if the results would be as impressive as the regimen. I was expecting a bunch of mindless action, some decent special effects and not much else. But, somewhere along the way, Brett Ratner (mostly known for ruining X-Men and the Rush Hour films) managed to give us a compelling story and even drawing up some deeper characters than I was expecting. All in all - for what I wa... |

awkward scenes and annoying
|
|
A woman crashed her car into a deer. loses her job then finds out her husband is cheating with the neighbour so she leaves on the open road with her wild grandmother. where a few little thinsg happen along the way.
The main problem with this comedy is the character is very annoying. it tries to be funny but only comes of really awkward and annoying.
There's really not much to this film the characters come across as very dim witted and awkward. like much of the scenes int he movie. at least ... |

A squeal that doesn't even try. Remember last year with the first Purge movie and I really didn't like it, but this movie is nothing different. This movie is still filled with stupid characters that make stupid choices throw out the film. They is this one scene in this movie where these homeless people are hiding underground trying to get away from this horrible event and they are hiding in complete darkness and nobody can't see them. but these people with flamethrowers come underground chasing... |

| Dawn of the Planet of the Apes |
Rating of: 4/4

Not only the best "Planet Of The Apes" movie ever made, but also the best movie of the year so far. What a terrific surprise. Andy Serkis deserves to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar- he is that good in this movie. The movie has a great story, emotional punch, tremendous action sequences and is visually stunning. What else can you want from a summer blockbuster? |

Totally Serviceable
|
|
Hercules is an arguably fatally flawed movie, but doesn’t really play like one. The closest recent release that I can compare it to is Transformers 4, but unlike that movie Hercules is able to mostly transcend its flaws and entertain its audience.
This flicks screenplay has some serious plotting problems. There are lots of elements to this story that don’t really have anything to do with the plot, or that seem important, but upon closer inspection are revealed to be not but filler. This m... |

Better then the first movie.
|
|
A squeal that nobody wanted, so why did make this movie, I bet Disney thought the first movie was so good that the people riot on the street wanting a squeal. Famous racer Dusty Crophopper gets a wake-up call when he is told his engine trouble means his racing days are over. He finds himself going from the racing circuit to aerial firefighting, as he is taken under the wing of veteran Blade Ranger and his team of Smokejumpers. When a massive wildfire hits, Dusty will get his chance to shine and... |

One Trick Pony
|
|
The Purge: Anarchy is a one trick pony that uses the same trick as a bunch of other one trick ponies. This sequel takes the premise of last years hit (which was really just a jumping off place for a run-of-the-mill home invasion thriller,) and makes it a whole lot dumber and a lot less thrilling.
Its Message is basically Elysium (I know I’ve said that a hundred times before, but it’s true,) but instead of simply refusing to give the poor healthcare, in The Purge: Anarchy they literally ki... |

Great Vibrations!
|

'Begin Again' has a premise that could've easily turned into a fluffy predictable story. Thankfully, the outcome is the opposite. Many scenes bypass instances for usual cliches. There is much more emotional involvement with the characters, most of which comes out in the music. The movie captures the essence of songwriting. The situations that inspire the songs within the film come from an honest place. Those songs also happen to be terrific! The two main characters (played by Ruffalo and... |
