THE WOLVERINE REVIEW

Thrill level ####
Family Friendly ###
Acting ####
Story Line #####
CGI ###



What i liked

I really enjoyed this movie mostly because of the story line and how it fills in a lot of blanks with logan . Hugh Jackman has always done well with the character and I don't ever see anyone else replacing him . the supporting characters though small they are were surprisingly  good as well . And you have to stay past the end credits if your any kind of a fan of Xmen .


What i didn't like

The villains were slightly week I would say that they weren't really the mane struggle in the movie. it was more of an internal struggle with logan to move on and become better . But they could have had that and a better villian .

PACIFIC RIM REVIEW

Watched Pacific Rim over the weekend.

Special Effects ####
Story Line ##
Predictability ##
Family Friendly ###
Casting ##
Acting ###



What I liked about it.

The movie did well at visually stimulating you eyes and had a well thought out plot. The move moved on well and got to the point quick(wasn't too long). i really like some of the comedy it had and Charlie Day did a good job playing the crazy science geek.

What i didn't like about it.

I think that the plot was good and fresh But I think that the movie overall could have used some bigger names and faces (actors) . And much better acting. It was also kinda predictable . Don't get me wrong sometimes a new face is refreshing but when you add a new face you need to have a killer supporting cast and this movie had only one actor worth mentioning (idris elba) and he isnt the biggest actor you could have pick for a supporting cast. Especially with the budget the movie was given .

The Lone Ranger Review

The Lone Ranger Review

Filming ###
Acting ##
Story Line ###
Graphics ###
Family Friendly ##


What I Liked

The movie moved on at a steady pace well enough to keep the average movie goer happy and entertained . Surprisingly Jonny Depp was a very good fit for tonto . He really and always has portrayed  that kind of role very well. The sound tracked was also well done to keep it true to the story and keep you emotionally enveloped.


What I Didn't like

The movie jumped around quite a bit from horror ,to comedy ,to western, kind needed a better base. The female supporting role was weak as well . and for a disney it really wouldn't be what i would call a family film , too gory .

The Man Of Steel review

Saw Man Of Steel this weekend at the midnight showing.

Filming #####
Acting ####
Story line #####
Graphics ####
Character choice ####


What i liked

I really liked this movie prob one of my favorite movies ever. The story line was the bomb from beginning to end i was engaged and intrigued. You could see the perfect amount  of both Christopher nolan and Zach snider. Henry Cavill is the best superman since Christopher Reeves hands down a strong performance from him has guaranteed him a big future with DC and Superman. I loved how Zach took you on a more inside look of Krypton and showed you who Lara and Jor El really were. Krypton alone was amazing and kinda had a mystical feel which i loved. The filming of this movie puts it well in line to match with The Dark Knight and a Justice League movie.

What i didn't like

Nothing lol
The only thing i can think of is Zods acting was not as good as the other actors in the movie.


overall i would give it a strong

##### pound its

So i think this movie is well on it way to a big weekend gross of at least 125 mil and the start of a great series to give Avengers a run for its money.

Fast & Furious 6 Review

Watch Fast & Furious 6 last weekend
Thrill Factor #####
Acting ###
Story line ####
Family Friendly ##



What I liked 

What i really like about these movies especially this one is the since of fun that the actors portray. I feel that they really have fun at it. I also like the characters and how they get along, I think that the casting for the movie was great and am glad to see all the old faces. From the begging to end you are entertained enough to really like the movies and want to know what will happen to the characters next. I also like that you can go into them thinking you know what going to happen but it can be totally different.


What I didn't like 

The movie more than usual was kind way out there if you know what i mean. my wife and i left saying (most of that was impossible). I think if they made the movies a little more realistic than they cold catch a better audience. Also the whole booty dance thing was a bit over the top and unnecessary.

Review of Safe Haven

Just saw Safe Haven Yeah I know kinda late but I figure may as well tell ya what I thought.

Story Line #####
Plot Development #####
Suspense ####
Acting ####
Family Friendly ##


What I liked

All and all I love this movie, the story was engaging from beginning to end. The acting was superb, especially by the supporting cast( David Lyons & Mimi Kirtland). In alot of ways you could almost see David as a drunk psycho, He made me believe it anyways. Mimi was the cutest and you fall in love with her from the very beginning. There is a twist or two in the end that left me and my wife floored and saying that was not predictable at all. Josh Duhamel pulls off a single dad like a pro and leaves you feeling sad for his loss but delighted with what he has found.  We will defiantly be adding this movie to our collection, praise for Safe Haven

What I didn't like

Well there really isn't much the only thing I can think of is for a family this would not be my pick only because of the almost 2 minute sex scene. But other than that a great movie

Dark Skies review

Pounds 1 to 5 five being best 

Scare factor ###
Family friendly #
Story line ##
Visual effects ##


What I liked 
The movie progressed pretty well for a horror/syfy. Jessie character did a good job at being a 12 yr old in that situation. 

What I didn't like 
The graphics seemed a little low budget for how well they did with insidious. Ended on a cliff hanger, don't get me wrong I actually like sequels but as a general rule for me horror/syfy movies have to blow my mind for me to say yes to a sequel. 

Summary 
The movie was not a bad horror/syfy but I would have never paid cinema prices to see this flick 

So I will give it a solid ## pounds 

Watching Dark Skies

Watching Dark Skies will let ya know what I think. It is made by the same people who did insidious so my hopes are high !!  
Watch a new movie yesterday
called After Earth : overall
Thrill level : ####
Story line : ###
Effects: ###
Family friendly: ###


What i liked :
After Earth had a very good message about fear and our power to defeat fear. I also think that Jaden Smith had a great opportunity to show us what he is truly made of.  M. night shyamalan capture the essence of an earth gone wild very well.

What i didn't:
I love will smith and its sad to say but i think it was one of his lower performances(not enough screen time). also the beginning crash was disappointing it seem like it wasn't thought out well.
