Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
I am shocked
A little over a year ago me and my friend sat down to watch the classic horror film Saw. I liked it a lot and he enjoyed it as well so we decided we had to watch all of them. Come less then a year later we had watched Saw 1-4 and Spiral was announced. We continued to finished all the movies (which felt like a saw trap of its own) and went to see this movie expecting it to be the same poorly plotted, poorly paced excuse of a story to torture as many people as possible. We came out of the theater shocked. This is the best written movie of all 9. The story begins with an inciting incident immediately setting off the plot and the tension and excitement continues to raise constantly through this fun filled 90 minute ride. The film slaps you in the face because its the first Saw movie that doesn't just kill strangers, it develops each character just enough that you really feel each and every kill. You feel like you are the main character and everyone around you is getting murdered and you are failing to stop it from happening. The pacing of this movie is so perfect, especially for a saw movie. The plot just keeps thickening and thickening. I wish I could rate it higher but the ending was confusing and rushed. I still don't fully understand and will probably go see the movie again to figure it out but as of right now this is undoubtedly the best Saw movie since #1. I really hope they keep this up.
Hunters (2020)
Just don't info dump
This show depends so heavily on the characters and how much you care about them. If your going to have any type of fiction were this is important YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE EACH CHARACTER! Instead they have a 10 min scene resembling the one in suicide squad and tell you everything about each character. It makes the characters boring and doesn't allow us to connect with them as we learn more. It seems it could be really good but is written poorly and bad a lot of corny elements.
Quarantine (2008)
Under rated
The reason a lot of people don't like this just doesn't make sense. Many people complain about the main actresses performance but I thought she did amazing. Many other people complain that its to slow because nothing happens in the beginning, hate to break it to you but thats called developing the characters, something that a lot of horror movies lack. This movie is really good, really scary, and one of the few horror movies that is actually re-watchable. Its such a crime that this has only a 5.9.
Halloween (2018)
Kind of creepy but boring
This movie was pretty disappointing. 100% of the characters were dull or really dumb. Michael Myers is probably the most boring antagonist of ll time considering he doesn't speak and has no personality. Overall it was really boring and would have a much lower score if not for the decent occasional scares.
Tonari no Totoro (1988)
Poor Story Telling
Like most of the studio ghibli movies, the story telling in this train wreck is awful. In almost every one of these movies I have seen the writers forgot to introduce a plot. There are random short lasting conflicts throughout that do not even connect at the end. If you watch 30 minutes into this movie and I asked you "what is this movie about?" You would not be able to answer. There is a lot of story and absolutely no plot making for a long and boring disaster. I do not recommend this movie unless your the type of person who can enjoy a movie just because their are cute things in it. If you are that type of person, first of all good for you. Secondly you will love this movie.
Rush Hour (1998)
One of the best
The awesome relationship between Carter and Lee makes this movie one of my favorites. The plot is really good to but if this movie didn't have such great interactions and performances it would be boring. Chan and Tucker make this movie a movie that you could watch over and over and never get bored.
Daredevil (2015)
A masterpiece
I have only finished season one but each and every episode was a masterpiece. So many brilliant wrighting decisions were made to produce this wonderful heart breaking thriller. The only thing I thought was going to be an issue was resolved by the writers in the second to last episode making the show even more perdect. Such a masterpiece.
Taken (2008)
Fantastic!!
Liam Neeson could take a bite out of my jugular vein and the dying words escaping from my lips would be "thank you ".
Honest Thief (2020)
Slow but pretty good
As always Liam Neeson does amazing. All the performances, characters, and character interactions are fantastic. The problem with the movie lies in the plot. We don't get a "consistent" plot until about half way through the movie. Once this plot is introduced it is not developed at all. It is a very weak and boring plot that does not have an opportunity to thicken which is very important, giving this movie a 6 as opposed to a 7 or 8.
