Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)
Maybe I was just in a bad mood.
Maybe I was just in a bad mood, but I didn't laugh one time during the entire movie. Other people did however, so maybe I'm just too old to know great humor.
The problem I had with the movie was its lack of development. One character was angry all the time and I never saw any explanation as to why. I didn't enjoy this person hitting others, attacking and injuring people for no reason. It's not funny. This caricature bothered me through the entire movie.
Secondly the plot really didn't make any sense. When you see it you will understand. The plot was contrived; made as a vehicle to deliver gags and jokes, only.
Thirdly, AND THIS IS SOMETHING GOOD: Near the end there is a moment, just a moment, where a kindness brings home a REALLY WARM AND FUZZY feeling. You will know the moment. For this one moment, the movie is worth the price of a ticket. I just wish they had developed the characters in such a way as to make it a cathartic moment and not just a surprise event.
Alexander (2004)
Realistic to a fault
Alexander's non-sexual love of his boyhood friend is accurate for the time and culture of the age.
The FACTS ARE:
War elephants WERE killed in battle. War is ugly IN GENERAL. Cattle are slaughtered even today and horses have been killed in almost every war ever fought.
The problem is: THIS IS A MOVIE that should have been MADE TO ENTERTAIN not to educate in a documentary style.
Judicious editing to a length of TWO HOURS would work wonders.
The best way to watch this movie: EVERY TIME you get bored, go out and get popcorn, candy, a drink, a smoke, and then come back in. Three or four trips and the movie becomes interesting. Don't worry. While you're gone nothing monumental will happen.
