Firestarter (2022)
Enjoyable twist on a classic
Unlike many leaving a review, I really enjoyed this remake. Yes, they made some changes, but I thought they made the experience all the better. The acting was good and the cast did a decent job. Zac Efron's character did. I think that a lot of people watched this film looking for any minor detail in order to hate it. When it comes to remakes, you have to expect it to be different from the original and just enjoy the movie for what it is - a remake.
In short, watch this movie with the family, but be prepared to see a remake of a classic with a twist. If you watch it without comparing it to the original too much, you will enjoy this movie.
Joker (2019)
Surprising!
I kind of wanted to go see this movie, but could have waited to watch it on DVD. My wife however, wanted to see it, so I went. I was very surprised with the movie. The acting was great and it really gave a good insight as to how the Joker came to be. In some cases it actually made you feel sorry for the Joker. I highly recommend this movie. I gave it a 9 because it is a little slow moving. I guess this makes it better to understand though and the director chose to take his time to build it up.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Very good movie
We really loved the movie. Had some complaints though. I wish Hulk would have made a "full" appearance and after so much hype, Captain Marvel did close to nothing. Other than that, we thought the move was very well made. It had enough action and details to hold us over for the approx. 3 hour duration.
Shazam! (2019)
Very good movie!
I'm not sure why people are rating this movie with anything below a 6 stars. My guess is that some people are too engrossed in whether or not the CGI was perfect or too much into details. The movie was pretty true to the comics and had a pretty good storyline and acting.I went with my kids and wife and we all enjoyed it. If you are a comic book freak that is mindful of every little detail then you will most likely find bones to pick with this movie, but if you just want to watch an enjoyable movie, then this one's for you. It's not dark like most DC movies, has action and is funny at times.
El delfín: La historia de un soñador (2009)
Worst movie i've EVER seen
My daughter wanted to see this movie when it came out, so we took her. It was God-awful. So much so that I was tempted to pinch my youngest child so she;d cry and we could leave. I have seen some bad movies, but I would rather watch them all at once instead of sitting through this movie again. The storyline is so out of line and the plot is very thin. Whatever you do, avoid this film like the plague.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
Entertaining but not much of a plot
I wanted to see this movie because the trailer seemed pretty good. I must admit I have not read the books, but I found that they blended in too many things. First of all I found zombies in the movie. I know this is due to the infection, but still. Secondly they run super fast for being zombies. They, as far as I can tell, do not tie in what the maze has to do with anything. The movie has good action scenes and thus the reason for my 5 stars. If you just want to watch and have mindless entertainment, then it's good. If you try to make sense out of it, then it's bad. I thought the acting was pretty good though. The movie has some potential it just seems they tried to add too many different things, or condense a lot of material into two hours of film.
The Smurfs (2011)
Pretty Good Movie
Come on folks this is a kids movie. Why is everyone over analyzing this? I thought it was very entertaining and fun. I do agree though that the voices could have been better though. Kids will love the movie, I know mine did. I recall many people criticizing Shrek too. If you are young at heart go see this. If you tend to nit pick movies then this movie is not for you. Gargamel did an excellent job in this movie. I really loved the actor's interpretation. I thought some of the jokes were good though some of them were a bit cheesy. Had it not been for the voices I would have given this movie a bit more. Appearing in New York seemed predictable as most movies end up or take place in New York.
Nine Dead (2009)
Excellent movie but very poor ending!!
I have given this movie 5 stars and kept the other 5 stars hidden. The movie was very well made and the acting was acceptable for a 2 Million dollar budget. I found the characters to be a bit cool what with their lives and all being on the line. The movie does remind you of Saw except that there are no insane torture machines. It is more sublime than Saw, therefore safe for younger people - not kids. I was thoroughly enjoying the movie and really liked the surprise at the end, but hated the ending. I thought that there was a mistake when it went black and I saw the credits. The movie just plain did not have an ending. As other users have mentioned, I just froze thinking something was wrong. I thought to myself this can't be the ending ... there's got to be something else! But lo and behold the movie had indeed finished (not ended) it just stopped! You are left with nothing. It just did not end. I will give this movie the other 5 stars when they decide to finally finish the movie. Too bad. It showed so much promise.
