Logan (2017)

180 degree Horrible end to an icon

[5/10 · 25 March 2017]

What kind of movie is this? This is as if Hugh Jackman was torn inside out and replaced with a depressed, play the violin, days of our lives watching xman. What the hell!

Who came up with the script for this?

I swear this is the most depressing movie I have seen in a long time, and there's no way I expected this from a wolverine movie. I'm dying, I'm miserable, blah, blah blah. There were literally a single handful of comedic parts, the rest is so sad. There's a dystopia type vibe to the movie. The cinematic experience was okay, there were some good scenes.

This is a character driven movie, but all the characters suck, minus Hugh. Xavier, is not who you remember, there's no one else who shared the earlier films.

Where the heck is the female lead? There is no female lead! How many blockbuster movies do you know where there's no female lead? None, zip nada.

I'm sorry but this movie sucked! I had read reviews like this is great, but I beg to differ. This is a typical Hollywood cash grab. Throwing stupid Hollywood tactics down your throat! Horrible. This is rated R? There are so many little children in this movie! Are they the ones who shall be caring the xmen torch? Is this a glimpse to what the future wolverine movies will become?

I'm only rating it a 5 because Hugh Jackman is awesome, and he deserves a better rating from me, but this sucked! You're the man with the claws but you should be remembered for your previous instalments not this one!

Assassin's Creed (2016)

Something that lurks in the shadows and minds of the dark, blending free-will with fantasy and reality.

This is an absolutely fantastic movie!

Forget the bad reviews, see this movie. This is very original, unlike most movies these days! I've never played the game, so this is fresh for me. Cudos to the creators of the game and the film. How do you even come up with ideas like this? Awesome.

Okay, this probably wont appeal to every demographic, but under 40 you will enjoy this.

The story is great from 20 minutes in, right to the end. I thought the first few scenes could of used some polishing, but gees, I was extremely satisfied when the credits rolled.

This movie and story needs to be studied. Showcasing something that isn't seen everyday. Something that lurks in the shadows and minds of the dark, blending free-will with fantasy and reality. Liberating.

Serioulsy; great acting, great characters, fantastic story, very original. Recommended

Doctor Strange (2016)

Bland backstory

[6/10 · 20 February 2017]

Not sure how this is well reviewed. Sure, it's well made movie, high production value but come on, this is weak for a marvel movie.

As of right now, Dr Strange, better develop into something stronger... He could of had a small role in an avenger movie. Being a monk is not enough for me, sorry.

Acting, I didn't think Benedick did a great job for this role, be-it the script or just him. Wasn't blown away.

I was definitely entertained, and felt I got my moneys worth. I support marvel and their universe, but this was lacking.

All in my opinion!

Come and Find Me (2016)

Decent movie...

[6/10 · 14 February 2017]

Not a bad movie at all! Much better then half the crap Hollywood puts out! Goes to show you that something so simple can be as effective as a huge budget blockbuster movie.

I'll start out that the first half of the movie had me very intrigued. The second half however changed. I thought the latter threw a 180 and went in the direction of action. I feel that if they would have toned it done some, or kept the plot linear to the first have the film would of turned out much better!

I thought the acting was well done from the two leads. Aaron Paul, I thought did a wonderful job! The female lead wad beautiful to look at, and needs more rolls. She is gorgeous! I Can't say much for her acting because her dialogue is mediocre.

I thought the musical score was great. The pacing worked okay for me. Well done to the director of this; good job.

All in all, very enjoyable movie for the first viewing. I would like to see more like this.

6.5 from me.

Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)

Meh movie. The saga continues.....

[4/10 · 9 February 2017]

Pretty boring movie I must say. Now that I'm done watching it, I can barely remember what happened! Lol.

What was the plot of the movie again?

I am a fan of the underworld movies, I like Salem; her character, but it seems this series has gotten worse as it goes on. At least this and the one before.

This series needs some new life!

The scenes are stylish and eye appealing. Few nice CGI scenes.

All in all very unmemorable movie in my opinion.

But if you've watched the previous instalments before, you're probably going to watch this, so be prepared for a let down.
