I have been terrified of tornadoes my entire life, one of my biggest fears. Because of that, this film was utterly terrifying to me. I watched the new Purge recently, which I don’t think I posted a review for for some reason, and this movie was way, way more terrifying. Getting past the fact that I am now watching the skies constantly, it was pretty good. I like the way it was done, mostly through the cameras the characters were using. It definitely made it feel real. The story felt real as well, as did the characters and, as far as I know, so did the storm. The effects made it very much real looking, which only made it that much worse.

So basically, if you find tornadoes and storms interesting, feel free to watch it; if you find them terrifying, watch it if you like scary movies.

Pretty good. I loved the last one and was very excited for this. I can’t comment based on the original movies as I have only seen the first one and that was a few years ago. So not knowing much about those, I can say this film was good on its own. The special effects were amazing, the apes seemed very real. Not only did they look real, but they felt like their personalities and mannerisms were real and almost human, as was the intention. You felt as attached to the ape characters as you did to the human characters. They did a very good job with this which I can’t imagine was easy. The story was good as well, you felt invested in it and wanted the right things to happen. A lot of it was predictable, but there were one or two surprises. All around I enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.

Yep, I enjoyed this one quite a lot. It was definitely Michael Bay, so if you go expecting explosions and awesome action sequences, you will not be disappointed. I think that this was one of the best, if not the best, movie in the series thus far, unusual for a very long series like this. The new cast was a good change I think, I like the characters better than the previous ones for the most part. The storyline was actually pretty good, better than I expected. The acting was also actually pretty good, I especially like Stanley Tucci’s acting, I really felt like his character was real. There were one or two times when I was a little bit confused as to what was going on or who some people were, but I always managed to figure it out pretty quickly, so I don’t count that against the film too harshly.
Overall I enjoyed it. I didn’t expect it to be that wonderful, but rather suspected that it was simply there to pull some more cash out of the pockets of fans of the previous films, but I was proved wrong. I am definitely waiting for the next one, which was not something I said after the last two. If you are looking for action and awesome special effects you will be happy with this film, but even if you want a good story and characters, you will enjoy it. I must say though, I think the writers are tapped into my brain, a lot of the new tech that was in the film is very similar to what I have come up with over the last ten years. But I won’t hold that against them. And for the record, these films are the only experience I have with Transformers.

Been a while since I’ve written a review, but I decided this one was worth breaking silence for. Loved it. Very much. Fun, cute, funny, sweet dragons, decent story and sweet dragons. I love dragons almost as much as I love awesome technology, which, surprisingly, this film had some of as well. Dragons and tech aside, it was better than I expected. Animated film sequels often are too obviously not planned and there simply to milk money out of fans of the first one, so I wasn’t expecting this one to be great. I was wrong. Full of serious moments and laughs that flowed perfectly and never felt out-of-place.

So yeah, basically it was a great movie for all audiences. One tip while watching it, take it or leave it: Keep your eye on Toothless the entire time. Whether you take my hint or not, it is an awesome movie and everyone should watch it, especially if you have seen the first one.

Not the greatest movie in the world, but pretty good. It was a little bit slow at times and surprisingly low on real action in my opinion. There was also a surprising lack of Godzilla. The story was not focused around the beast, as the name suggests. While that was a bit of a shock, I don’t think it took away from the film. The story was pretty good, and had more depth than an all-out destruction film like I was expecting. Having never seen a Godzilla movie before (yes, I am ashamed) I can’t compare this new one to its predecessors. Not really much else to say, the acting and filmography were exceptionally bad nor good, though the special effects for Godzilla and friends was pretty good, as was expected. While it wasn’t top of my list, it was definitely worth the trip.

This film was enjoyable, and a step up from the first. It is definitely better than any of the older films, but not quite to Avengers status. It is a good film, but not the best Marvel Studios can give us. Now that I’ve said that a couple of times I can give a bit more detail. Like all Marvel films there was humor and there was drama. I can definitely say there is some slight emotional whiplash attached to this one. That is a pro, not a con. The feel of the movie was pretty good as well, I have little to say negatively about the acting or shots. There were times when it didn’t feel quite real however, aside from the whole ‘superhero’ thing obviously. A couple of places some comments and humor seemed completely out of place and the characters felt fake once or twice. But that was only a couple of times, the rest of the movie was amazing.
In a number: 8/10
In a sentence: Recommend it to superhero fans and movie-goers alike.
So yeah, go watch it, but don’t expect Avengers.

Just like all the other Marvel movies, I loved this one. Had humor, action and a good storyline, though the humor may have been somewhat lower in this film than the others. All around the movie was good. The acting was pretty good, the action scenes were awesome, the storyline and characters were great and the special effects were amazing. In short, if you like superhero films and liked the other Avenger ones, then you will enjoy this one. Sorry for the short review, I hope you get the idea.

First let’s look at it outside of the book. It is a good film with cool visuals, good acting and a good story. It isn’t necessarily my favorite movie, but I still recommend it. Not sure what else to say on it as a movie alone.
Looking at it with the book I have more to say. For once I think I can say that I actually liked the movie a little bit more than the book. I felt that the book was a little rushed in places and didn’t go into enough detail about a lot that happened. The movie showed it a lot better. There were also a couple of things that weren’t explained great in the book that the writers of the screenplay really helped our understanding of. There were a few things I didn’t like about it however. They changed a few things, most were just minor changes that made it better for a film adaption, but a couple bugged me. I won’t spoil it for you, you will just have to figure them out yourselves. One thing that really was a disadvantage for the movie was the fact that you can’t see into the characters’ brains. Since the book is first person, and a book in general, you can really see what a person is thinking and what motivates them. There wasn’t that bonus in the movie and they didn’t excel at showing it. Really, I recommend everybody read the book and watch the movie. For the most part, one is strong where the other is weak, so the two together are great.

Maybe not the best film ever to be created, but I really enjoyed it. I have played the NFS video games for quite a few years now and really enjoy them, so I was excited when I first saw the trailer for this movie. I was not disappointed. It lived up to its source material (the games) but managed to become a good and well-rounded film. It had a good story with characters that are likable and believable.

As a car lover, I had a love-hate relationship with this movie. Based on the subject you know there are going to be nice cars and that damage will come to them. Both of these is true. I loved seeing the fancy sports cars, and I cringed every time anything happened to them. I’d say that my enjoyment at seeing them outranked the pain when they were damaged though, so I’d recommend it to other people who like cars.

There were a couple of things that didn’t quite add up or weren’t explained. To avoid spoilers I’m not going to say much, but I think a couple of things could have been slightly changed or better explained. This doesn’t really take away from the film, however. I just like to think everything through and if everything doesn’t match up or isn’t explained thoroughly I get irritated. Don’t let this turn you away though.

I definitely recommend this film, especially to players of the games and car lovers, but to everyone else as well.

Completely lives up to its name. Don’t drink anything before hand, there is not any time to leave. The movie never stops, every moment is full of suspense. The characters were believable and intriguing. The way it is filmed really adds to the feel of the story and the effects are most impressive. I greatly admire the writer of this film, the idea and execution are genius. A movie on plane hijacking is not new, but the way this one pulls it off and the way the characters think is unique and very impressive. As always, Liam Neeson did an incredible job portraying a complex character. I did not expect what happened or who the terrorist was (no hints). Really I have nothing negative to say on this one and highly recommend everybody watch it.
