Jurassic World (2015)
Jurassic World review (spoilers)
Being a huge fan of Jurassic Park and the novels, I was excited and had high hopes for this movie. Did it exceed my expectations? Yes, it did. Jurassic World is probably the better, if not best sequel to Jurassic Park than The Lost World or Jurassic Park 3 is. Picking up 22 years after the first film, Jurassic World brings John Hammond's dream to life with a fully functioning dinosaur theme park open to the public since 2005. The plot of the film is that a hybrid dinosaur called Indominous Rex is created in order to bring the park ratings back up. The I-rex gets loose and starts killing everything for sport. It is basically the same plot as the first film, but with a new story and characters. I liked that, I liked how original and faithful they stayed to the first film. Yes, there are references to the first film. There is a scene where these two kids end up in the old visitors center from the first movie. And yes, the original T-rex is back. The raptors are back also, but not as an enemy this time. Anyone who hasn't seen this should go see it. Don't go into it thinking that it's going to be better than the first, because it's not. Nothing will top the first movie, but this is an excellent sequel and a great time.
Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
a good, fun movie for the average comic lover
I have read the comics and have the first Kick-Ass, so I knew what to expect going into this film. I knew it wasn't going to be word for word close to the comics, neither was the first one. There is some stuff in the comics that wouldn't have worked for the film, so I understand why certain changers were made. Jim Carrey's performance as Colonel Stars and Stripes was literally spot on to his comic counterpart. Chloe Grace Moretz was great as Hit Girl, although the van chase sequence was a little cheesy. I was disappointed that Evan Peters did not return in this one. However, the action was good, the character dialogue and chemistry worked surprisingly well. I do recommend this movie to anyone who is a comic book lover or anyone who just wants to see a fun movie.
Iron Man Three (2013)
didn't live up to it's potential
I remember seeing the first trailer to this movie, and it looked like it was going to be darker and grittier than the first two films. It almost looked as if Christopher Nolan was making this movie. I was excited about how intense and dangerous the Mandarin looked, then I saw the movie. What a total joke. First of all, there's no way Happy would've survived that explosion, and why did the so called "Mandarin" have to be an actor pretending to be a villain? That was really dumb. I don't blame the actors for this movie being bad, I blame the writers for this one. Way to let us down Marvel. It's as if Marvel Studios got together, sat down and said, "Okay we made all this money from The Avengers, everyone loves Robert Downey Jr. Let's take all the horrible ideas we've had for previous Ironman films and throw it altogether into one huge suck-fest!" I understand that they wanted to show Tony Stark suffering from PTSD after the New York attack, but the other stuff wasn't needed. Also, I really was hoping for Pepper to die in this movie. Is that mean? I really don't think a stand alone Ironman movie can work anymore.
Bart Got a Room (2008)
A good, fun comedy for teens and young adults
I remember seeing a preview for this movie on The Movie Channel, I think that was the channel. Then about 2 days later I saw the movie for sale at Wal-mart. That night I actually watched it. I thought it was hilarious in so many ways. Yeah, some of the humor is kind of ridiculous but it's directed towards teens and young adults. In so many ways I can relate to this movie and so can other people i'm sure. I was very pleased with William H. Macy's performance. I also liked it because it had both actors we already know, and some that we have never seen before, or at least I haven't. All in all I think this film was very good and I hope that everyone gets a chance to see it.
