Abigail (2024)
Pulse...
So... everything was good, until... round about an hour in. They spoke about a syringe... that knocked her out and Joey says "I checked her pulse and breathing was slow." AND IT WORKED.
Now, I don't know about you, but last time I checked, vampires don't have a pulse and they do not need to breathe either. Some do it out of habit. Some envy their old lives. Some even use spells. There is a certain famous lore of vampires that have a "spell" that causes them to have the "Blush of Life", but that's just a spell. Otherwise, they are UNDEAD. Now with Blade, he killed vampires with blood coagulant. And acid. And other means. But something that knocks out an UNDEAD? No. Just no.
I love all of the actors, but the writers needed to do some more fact checking about a fictional concept. Ironic. I know.
Night Teeth (2021)
This reminded me of...
This was very close to Queen of the Damned to me. I loved it! It was a fun ride and the right vampires died in this movie, just like in Queen of the Damned.
In Queen of the Damned, the ending was with someone (the protagonist) that was turned and living the life of a vampire. Same with this movie and that kind of ending is great to me!
Speed Racer (2008)
One of the most underrated cartoon adapted films of it's time!
A 6 rating? Naaaah. This should definitely be more than that. It was adapted perfectly and without many of the cartoon's flaws. The visual style and artful quality of this movie is way better than this mediocre rating.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)
What is this?
This is one of the worst origin stories of Superman ever written. The only redeeming qualities about this was Martian Manhunter and the art style.
Lobo comes in with a bounty on Superman (Flying Man/Kryptonian) and just leaves at the end? No collecting bounties? He's a terrible bounty hunter.
The Parasite is a very annoying first villain and kills a LOT of people before he is stopped.
Lex Luthor's inferior complex/xenophobia shouldn't have manifested until way later when it came to how he views aliens. Feels forced and feels like they jumped the gun there.
Batman mentions and cameos were interesting, but making him actually appear to help would have made this film quite a bit better.
All in all, this can totally be avoided.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)
Why did this get a bad rating again?
There was nothing wrong with this movie. This is how I thought the movie would go and it lived up to what I thought it would be so I don't understand people's harsh criticisms.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Historically inaccurate, but perfectly executed! WARNING! SPOILERS!
This movie was probably Tarantino's most genius work to date. As I said, this was the most historically inaccurate, but the most PERFECTLY executed COMEDY I've ever seen! Now here are the spoilers in bullet form...
-Dicaprio and Pitt's characters are completely fiction.
-Their adventures could have been easily seen as real due to how well written they were and if you don't know your history.
-Bruce Lee was BEATEN by one of these fictional characters, but it seemed as if it could have happened!
-The "Charles Manson Family" were FOILED in their insane plot to kill a certain woman (Sharon Tate) by one of these fictional characters.
I only dock a point, due to some of the unnecessary vulgarity and cussing, but that's a preference thing. To some, this added realism and would still give it a 10, which is fine. Either way, I loved this movie and more movies should be made like it!
The Meg (2018)
I don't understand the other reviews.
Here's what I don't get. Why is everyone else's reviews so negative? What did they expect from a shark movie? Superheroes? More than the needed explosions?! This movie was awesome from start to finish! It gave background, it explained how the Meg got into normal waters, the acting wasn't SUPER good, but it got the point across enough to not detract from the core movie! The physics were correct---the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the shark was various sizes throughout the movie, which was silly. All in all? If you sit down for a shark movie, this is goes above and beyond when it comes to detailing.
Uncle Drew (2018)
I loved it!
This movie was extremely fun and extremely funny. There were a few unrealistic things about it, but it was all for comedy, which was why you'd go watch this in the first place. It had good culture references in it, had an actual story to it unlike most modern movies and had a discernible plot. That's all I can ask for!
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Seriously?
I seriously didn't think that it could get any worse than Episode 7. I was completely wrong, but this in itself is a feat I didn't think possible, but Rian Johnson made it possible. How? He used Luke Skywalker to make it worse than Episode 7. Episode 8 was probably the worst Star Wars movie to date, worse than the first three episodes effortlessly.
Reason 1: Luke Skywalker would not have thrown away his father's lightsaber, the same father he made sure was cremated after he died.
Reason 2: Horrible jokes made this movie absolutely droll.
Reason 3: The Force just doesn't work that way with the whole "Luke Skywalker Useless Combat Projection" thing.
Reason 4: The Force also doesn't kill it's user when it is used. It didn't in the rest of the episodes and it shouldn't have in this one.
Reason 5: Obi-Wan Kenobi was a horrible teacher to Luke, but Luke ended up worse than him. He left Rey to deal with Kylo, killing himself needlessly, he obviously didn't train her properly in any form of Lightsaber combat (given away during the fight with Snoak's men), he was SCARED of the force and how powerful Rey could become, he didn't seem disciplined at all, like he was in episode 6. It's like Rian took Luke's character and butchered it for his own half-baked story.
All in all, the money made with this film was undeserved.
Hercules (2014)
Brett Ratner outdid himself.
I believe Brett Ratner has come a long way from when he first appeared on the director scene. This movie, in terms of it's setting, costume design, cast and accuracy (compared to other Hercules films), was spot on. Hercules had the appropriate power, Atalanta had the appropriate skill set and the witty dialog was just enjoyable.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was right about the part being made for him, because he played the part as well as possible.
How this film was executed, in terms of the clever way they made Hercules' insanity (his insanity was introduced in his real lore, so this was no spoiler, but just in case...) play a big part, was what I liked most about the film. It gave it an intelligent edge to it that made me enjoy the film that much more.
