Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
Rise of my new favorite movie
I loved the movie. The character development whats so insanely good!!! The CGI was magnificent and the apes were so beautifully captured and realistic. There were such powerful scenes and I loved how the apes formed a clan. Like an army they were so like one. You can see how fast a group dynamic can change. I watched the most recent one (Kingdom of the Plant of the Apes) and loved it. I didn't expect to love the first film. I am definitely going to watch the second and the third one. It's also very interesting how they made the movie. What an amazing actors! Just amazing. Definitely recommend!
The Proposal (2009)
Fine romantic comedy
I normally don't like romantic comedies. Most of the time it think they are boring and bad, but this one surprised me. I didn't expect it but I am happy about it. The film has a nice and cozy atmosphere. The ending is very beautiful and also a bit sad. The casting is perfect! I've never seen son's story before and I really like it! For 2009 it is a very rich picture. It's not my favorite movie I've ever seen, but it's fun. In general it is recommended. The plot twist is very predictive. But you always have this with these types of films. This movie is going in my nice film list. I give it a good 7.
Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Fantastic
This story is really fantastic. It is super unique and takes you along well. This is the best plot twist I have ever seen. He is so unexpected and it will blow your mind away. All the legends are in this movie! George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon. The cast is fantastic and they really did a great job in this film. The characters are so much fun. I personally think the twins are the funniest. I laughed so hard during this movie! The film is very beautifully shot. This film was released in 2001, so it doesn't have the sharpest image, but it is still very good for that time. This is a fantastic movie. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. When people ask me "Hey do you know a good movie?" Then I say Ocean's Eleven.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Unique and beautiful
I found the story very unique and interesting. I've never seen that movie before, I think it's fantastic. The monkeys were so extremely realistic and in so much detail. It was a long film, but you were completely absorbed in the story, which made the time fly by. I watched this movie because Wes Ball directed this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a fantastic movie. I really liked the characters. Raka really has a place in my heart. But I don't think he got the scenes I think he deserved more than that. Also likes that there where different kind of species in the movie. It's a good movie.
The Last of Us (2023)
Amazing!
The story is really fantastic. The Last Of us is a game (I played it myself) and they did so much the same. The plot twist is very good. There are several and they are all good! The cast is really perfect. Pedro and Bella have so much fun together and that is reflected in the series! I also really liked that the people who played Ellie and Joël in the game also had a role in the series! The characters are so much fun. Joel is a guy who is quite cold but who really warms up to Ellie. Ellie is a really cool chick! The series is really fantastically made. Very little was made without the computer, but what was made with the computer was done fantastically!
The Conjuring (2013)
Very good horror movie
The Conjuring is a true story and that makes it even more interesting. I think it is a very interesting story and I think they have told the story fantastically. The plot twist was very good! Unexpected and scary. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have a great chemistry and you can really see that in the film! You really notice that they really enjoy working together. I also think your kids did a fantastic job. They were so young there but already acting so well! Wow! That characters are very nice and interesting! I think the film is extremely well made. The sets are beautiful and the image quality is good. I expected it to be a much higher budget, because I thought the sets were so cool. The ending was very beautiful. It's nice that they were able to help the whole family! And luckily everything turned out fine in the movie and in the real story too!
The First Omen (2024)
Unique story
I just got back from The First Omen. But I did found the story the story very interesting. I think it's a bit like Midsummer in terms of shock factor. I didn't found it that scary it's more shock factor than scary. Some scenes were very impressive and a bit unsettling. Unfortunately found the story a bit confusing. If I were to see this film again for the first time, I would first look up some information so that I understand it from the beginning. I also recommend that people do this unless you absolutely don't want any spoilers. It was certainly a unique story. Not your typical supernatural horror films. If you are tired of the typical horror films, this is a good one to watch!
Love and Monsters (2020)
Very fun to watch
The story is unique and fun! There is tension in it, but it is also so light-hearted. I love it! The plot twist is very fun and interesting. The characters are fantastic. Really fantastic how they did that with the dog. So much thought has gone into it and you can see it. The film is beautifully made. Not a scary movie, monsters are made in a fun way but still realistic. The ending is very nice. There is also a good plot twist. It's also really nice that the characters grow closer together. The cast is beautiful for this film. Minnow is still so little but does it so good! Amazing acting. Very fun film for a family night .
Haunted Mansion (2023)
Not my thing
I didn't really like the story. It was all extremely predictable and not unique at all. There was some comedy in it and I really enjoyed that. That "saved" the film in my opinion. The acting was truly Disney style. I personally thought it was a lot over acting which made the story even less enjoyable. I know how good actors can act and it's a shame they didn't show that in this film. The characters were a lot of fun. You quickly liked them and also made funny jokes. My personal favorites were Bruce Davis and Father Kent. You could see that this film had a large budget (150 million to be precise). The sets were very beautiful and colorful. But the ghosts where very unrealistic. I personally think that if you make something realistic it doesn't have to be scary. You noticed that they didn't want to scare people with this film, but why make the ghosts so bad? It looks like only 20 euros was put into the ghosts. I understand that they wanted to show a difference between ghosts and people, but I really don't think they succeeded here. One of the biggest reasons I think this movie is so bad is because of the ghosts (and the story.) I didn't think it was a good movie. If you have a child who still finds films a bit scary, but would like to see something with ghosts, this is a good film. Just not my movie unfortunately.
The Maze Runner (2014)
Amazing!!
The story is fantastic. It is a very unique story and you are really drawn into the story. The plot twist is really good. There are a few plot twists in the film and they are all good. I really love it!! The actors are great. They played these characters so wonderfully. The cast also gets along extremely well and that is reflected in the film. Perfect casting. The film is really beautifully made. So much love has gone into it and it really shows in the film. The CGI is absolutely fantastic! The ending is very nice and makes you want to watch the 2nd movie right away. This movie has a special place in my heart.
Triple Frontier (2019)
Fine
The story is very good. The film takes you along well and really makes you love the characters. There is a lot of action, which ensures that you are watching the TV with excitement all the time. What would be nice is that you get to know more about the side characters. There isn't really a plot twist. It is a very uplifting film. The cast performs very well in this film. There are sensitive moments and you don't notice that they are acting. You also notice that the cast is having a great time together and that is also reflected in the film itself. You could meet the characters in real life. (Want a lot of money) These characters (especially Santiago) want money so that they can live easily. The actors have clearly shown how much (especially Santiago) wants that money. The film is very beautifully made.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
So fun!
The story is very nice! I love it. The plot twist is good. It's really fun that at first you think Javi is the bad guy, but then it turns out to be his cousin. The actors are AMAZING! Pedro Pascal and Nicolas Cage were really perfect for these roles. (Especially because Nicolas Cage plays himself) Pedro is also perfectly cast as Javi. Pedro has a very soft ulcer and he brings that to the fore even more in this film. The two have a good connection and that is also reflected in the film itself. The characters are a lot of fun. Definitely Javi, you will quickly like him. Really beautiful. There aren't many big action scenes, but those that are there are well filmed and really fantastic. There is also comedy in those action scenes, which gives the intense scene more air. Normally I don't choose these types of films. Personally, I don't really like comedy, but this movie changed that. I like the movie a lot. You can watch this on the couch with your family or to cheer yourself up. Definitely recommended.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
Funny and cool
The story is very good. Unique, fast with a lot of action, but there is also comedy in it.
Truly a film that you can watch several times and still not get enough of. There is a great plot twist. One you don't see coming. The actors and actresses are really fantastic and did a great job. The characters are very unique, fun and very easy to like. These are not the "normal" characters you find in a movie. These are really very unique. The film contains many fight scenes and they are very beautifully filmed. The effects are beautiful and it really looks like they happened during filming. Very nicely filmed and good screen quality. Fantastic movie! Highly recommendedL.
Venom (2018)
Love it.
Man I just love this movie. It's so fun and very enjoyable. I watched this film about 10 times and It makes me laugh every time! The CGI is amazing and I just love how Venom and Eddie make a connection during the movie. Probably the most powerful line was "We are Venom" I loved that. I really like it how Venom was first the enemy and then he became a friend for Eddie and they started working together. I also really liked the fight scenes they were so cool. And the level of detail. I don't get why the meta score is so low. Sure you this needs to be your kind of movie but come on 36? That's just not it.
Iron Man (2008)
Good movie.
Very enjoyable movie.
I've already seen this movie twice, but I didn't quite understand it then. Now that I'm a little older and have seen the film again, I thought it was very good. The story is good. It's a long movie, but it will keep you interested. It is beautifully filmed and has some pace to it. The casting is very good. I just love marvel. I think they have such good films and for 2008 I think this is a very good film and i doesn't matter how old the film is! If it's a good film then it will be forever a good film!
So I would definitely watch this again! I give this film (Iron man) a 7.
The Beekeeper (2024)
Good movie, but has more potential.
I had just returned from the film The Beekeeper and I left the theater happy. The film was well put together and the fight scenes were very impressive. You can see that they put a lot off effort into these scenes. I think Jason Statham was the perfect choice for this exciting role. I can't imagine someone else playing this role. So good casting! The story was unique and had a lot of potential. Still, I don't think they got everything out of it. There were many nice details that you immediately notice as a film lover. I give this movie a 7.5. Good film, a lot of potential but could have been achieved more.
Mean Girls (2024)
Fine film
I went to see Mean Girls yesterday and to my surprise I thought it was a fun movie. I think the casting was done well. Reneé Rapp sang fantastic and you could hear that she did it professionally. For a feel good movie, I thought it was fine. Feel good films are no longer a genre and I would watch them anymore, but if anyone wants a feel good film of this time I would recommend this one. I do think the fist films are always the best. They did do a good remake for this time. I don't like that they put famous TikTok's in the film. That made the film look cheap. But I would give it a 6. Fun to watch but wouldn't watch it again. I am going to stick with the old one.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Bad movie
This is a movie that was only made for the money. No love put into this movie at all. Sometimes you have to stop when you finally already know it's done and it won't get any better if you keep going. This is a perfect example.
The story is very confusing and if you are 1 hour into the film it seems like they have only told 5 minutes of the story.
I also saw a lot of mistakes in the movie. This shows that the film has been made sloppy and you expect something different from a film with such a large budget. Like com on? This is probably (hopefully) the last movie. And everything shows that the man is just too old. Just cast a new one just like in james bond, because this really doesn't work.
Save yourself a trip to the cinema and stick to the old movies.
