My 2012 Movie Review

INTENSE EPIC 2012

Yesterday my buddy and I decided to go and see 2012 in the cinema and I gotta let you know that it was one helluva ride. It was like riding a roller coaster without the roller coaster! In a word 2012 was Intense.

The start of the movie was a little slow but that's probably because I just wanted to see all of the destruction straight away. It was nicely setup giving the viewing audience an insight to the main and supported characters.

A lot of well known actors were in this feature film some of which you may not know the names of. Such actors that were apart of this epic movie are John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, George Segal and John Billingsley.

2012 is a movie about the end of days, Armageddon if you will. The Mayan calender ends and The Planet Earth as we know it becomes unstable.

I give the movie 2012 a 10 out of 10 for being so Awesome!

My G.I Joe Movie Review

Last night I went to see 'G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra' in the cinema after my friend would not stop talking about how much he wanted to watch this movie.

After ordering popcorn and a soda we found a place in the theater and sat down expecting to see an action packed movie...and it was. If you are looking for an action movie then this is for you! There's so much action in this movie that there is action within action!

The story line was pretty good, though I did not know what was happening in the beginning of the movie - There was just too many character's been introduced too fast with their story amidst the action.

The ideas were far fetched and at times it felt like I was watching some sort of parity of Star Wars especially during the battle under the ice.

All in all 'G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra' was an entertaining movie filled with action sequences, computer graphics, and Love Interests. I would only recommend this if you are an action freak.

I give this G.I Joe movie a 6 out of 10.

'Funny People' not so funny

Over the weekend an idea was suggested to go to the theater to watch the movie Funny People starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. We expected that the movie would be funny because of the starring roles and because the title of the movie "Funny People" suggests this. However this was not the case.

Funny People was the most depressing movie I've watched in years! Who thinks of this stuff?! Was it a trick to lure us into the movie theater with the hopes of a nice funny movie to relax to just so you can grab our heart, squeeze and twist it with emotions of empathy and sympathy?

I was, we all were mislead about this movie. The previews and the title speak This is a Funny comedy, but it never came close to that! Funny People is not a comedy. It is a drama with funny parts. Nothing more, nothing less.

Who should watch this? If you would like to watch a depressing movie, then this is for you. If you want to see a man get ill and hate the world, watch this movie. If you want to ponder endlessly about your own life and the shit that has happened to you, then this movie is perfect!

Otherwise, don't bother to watching Funny People. You're not missing anything, and if you did manage to watch it you'll have to quickly forget about it or you'll be lost in a dark dark room filled with your sins and the demons of a thousand torchered souls.

Take my advise, look over this one.

I give Funny People a 4 out of 10.

X-MEN Origins Wolverine a Smash!

I was fortunate enough last night to go to a viewing for the upcoming X-Men Origins Wolverine movie which is to be released in cinemas 1st May 2009. Well it was not a viewing like you may be thinking with movie stars and the red carpet, it was really like watching the pre-release director's version amongst friends. And I gotta say, "It rocked!"

Since I was a little boy Wolverine has been my favourite X-Men character. He was the one I would pretend I was. He was the one I felt more alike. He was the one I looked up to in awe and he was the one who is shrouded in mystery... at least he was...

I am an avid fan of The X-Men especially Wolverine, and because of that I am able to say that this movie delivered the punch Stan Lee and MARVEL intended providing the answers to many questions the majority of the world's population had.

X-Men Origins Wolverine movie is set in the past before there were any X-Men. The movie starts when Login (Wolverine) was just a little boy and continues through his life giving the background story to his character.

When the end of the movie came I was unprepared. I did not expect the movie to end when it did. I thought that there was more to tell, and there is, it's just not in this particular movie. Perhaps there is to be an X-Men Origins: Wolverine II in the future, because as I said, the story continues on.

Apparently the next scheduled release in the X-Men Origins series is to be on Magneto.

I give X-MEN Origins: Wolverine a 8 out of 10.
