Man of Steel Movie Review (2/4 Stars)

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:52:22 -0500

Superman is not Batman. In saying that I don�t mean that I think that Superman isn�t as good as Batman, but that I think Superman should not be treated the same way as Batman. I am not a huge comic book nerd, but from what I can tell Superman hasn�t changed nearly as much over the length of his existence as Batman has. Batman has become a very dark brooding character while Superman is closer t... read more

Iron Man 3 Movie Review (2.5/4 Stars)

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:19:15 -0500

In this raters opinion the real hero for the third Iron Man installment was artificial intelligence JARVIS. Evidently the cast is back coupled with some new additional artists for the antagonist. Tony Stark / Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) is not in good terms with as Virginia "Pepper" Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), CEO of Stark Industries. The creator of the Extremis virus and the founder of Advance... read more

Man of Steel Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:50:46 -0500

Man of Steel was a good quality movie. True, it was predictable. But let's face it, most superhero movies are. With a movie in a franchise as big as the Superman one, you can't win. Make it too like the comic book and people will be disappointed with the lack of variety in the movies. Vary the movie too much from the comic book and people will feel betrayed that their beloved comic book movie isn... read more

Great Gatsby, The (2013) Movie Review (1/4 Stars)

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:34:56 -0500

I find with Leo's movies that he has more misses then hits these days although he still remains in my top 5 actors of all time list...presently #3 for all those wondering... Which means if his names is in the credits of any film it usually means I will make a point of seeing it sometime. Great Gatsby happens to be one of those of his that I wasn't the least bit keen on. The cast is the only... read more

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Review (3.5/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 23:54:12 -0500

Star Trek Into Darkness : 3.5/4 This movie is fantastic. It is a good mix of emotion, visual effects, and drama. The thing about J.J Abrams is that relationships always play a big role in his films. Wether it is the rivalry in the 2009 Star Trek or the child friendship in Super 8 relationships are always a driving part of his movies. Spock and Kirk's relationship in Into Darkness is that of frie... read more

This is the End Movie Review (4/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 23:16:58 -0500

There's been almost no funny 'comedies' so far in the year of 2013. But FINALLY, we have one that soars to hilarious new heights! This film brings the laughs... continuous hard laughs. To say this movie is funny is a severe understatement. Here we have six comic stars (and others) playing fictional versions of their on-screen personas, each riffing on themselves and each other. This 'meta' a... read more

Man of Steel Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 22:48:44 -0500

'Man of Steel' is a much needed step above the disappointing 'Superman Returns'. For one thing, this re-boot is much faster paced and entertaining. Not a moment of screen time is wasted. The film swiftly covers large ground, in epic-scoped fashion. It is flashy, effects heavy and bombastic, but also thrilling and 'wow'-inducing in those aspects. There is enough spectacular action here to fil... read more

Man of Steel Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:55:14 -0500

What's with all the negativity? "Oh, Man of Steel is dark. Superman isn't supposed to be dark. He's played by a British guy. Boohoo." Man of Steel isn't a dark film - it's a realistic film. It plays as if Superman really existed in this real world, and I truly doubt people would take this guy lightly, therefore resulting in an edgier but never truly "dark" motion picture. So shush. This new Super... read more

Man of Steel Movie Review (1.5/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 05:11:06 -0500

Man of Steel is a failed attempt at a 'gritty and dark' take on the Superman story. While it will certainly satisfy anyone looking for endless, relentless, literally non-stop action. It's sad to say that all the visual effects and supposed epic action sequences are nothing but visual chaos, thus it's more headache inducing than awe inspiring. There is very little plot to speak of, as it all ... read more

This is the End Movie Review (4/4 Stars)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:02:30 -0500

This is not only the best movie i have seen so far in 2013, but it is the best by alot. This movie has many different aspects and parts to it, many more than a normal movie. It's pretty ambitious. Above all, it is funny. There is hardly a minute that goes by that the theater was not laughing, myself included. It's pretty craxy and out there but to me it all worked. And the ending, Spoiler Alert... read more
