Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
This is Star Wars?!
Zero continuity...Zero
So much to complain about and the main points I don't want to spoil this review. Why would anyone watch a movie when the villain has already been defeated by the amateur untrained hero? are they trying to reverse montage and have us hope the villain gets stronger and train harder so he can compete with the hero? Luke is not Luke in this movie, he is completely out of character from Episode 4-6. The new villains are so weak and the new hero's are so powerful it makes watching it any further seem like a waste of time. Such a travesty, how was this made?
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
A New Hope Copy That Got Stuck In The Copier
This movie was a total build up from the start and it just did not delivery anything. I can only compare this movie to the feeling of purchasing something you can barely wait for on amazon and once the package arrives its an empty box. I'll give the good first. A lot of pew pew blaster action, good space dog fights, acting was very good (espically the villain Kylo Ren), graphics were great and the scenes did a decent job of making it feel star wars like. Now a few bad, horrible plot (bad story to the 10th power!), TONS of questions and no answers, very few light saber fights, and lightsaber fights were bad, slow action clearly showing the actors amateur skills handling a melee weapon. Okay minor plot spoilers coming up but nothing drastic since you find this out in classic opening crawl text. "The First Order" is an offspring of the Sith and is the new power, rebels are resisting The First Order lead by Leia, and Luke is nowhere to be found. Really Luke Skywalker the Jedi Master cannot be found? The explanation they give in the movie is total crap. This movie is set 30 years after Return Of The Jedi and after defeating the Empire in that movie the resistance have made no progress in restoring any type of order in the galaxy because The First Order is clearly in power. The movie starts off nearly identical to episode 4 A New Hope and seemed to xerox copy a few big plots from that movie and try to do it better (which they fail). Movie is a "C" however if you are looking for some blaster fights and space combat with no real star wars connection you might enjoy it however! Star Wars fans will be supremely disappointed!
Dracula Untold (2014)
Everyone will enjoy this flick except history buffs
If your looking for a good action flick with a decent plot this is the movie for you. With a 90min runtime I was expecting this movie to feel "rushed", it felt far from that. The action was great, it did not disappoint with all the cool vampire abilities you see in the trailer, especially transforming into a group of bats. Being a Dracula movie there are things you have to expect, yes he receives his power by drinking blood, having all the vulnerabilities as every vampire (which they do very good in this movie) but the way this movie makes you root for Vlad(Dracula) you actually find yourself engulfed in the movie wanting him to overcome the darkness and win. However if you are a history buff and it irks you when movies take real life people and change their history for a movie, you will not enjoy this because it is loosely based off Vlad the Impaler. My Review 8/10 Excellent
