Aaron's space

it's sad when a movie has so much potential then doesnt use it. babylon a.d., supposedly started as a high quality sci-fi film basically is a flop. vin diesels acting was NOT good in this movie whatsoever, which was quite sad, it had a lot of potential.

 

the effects were good and everything, but it's sad when a movie struggles to get its ideas across correctly and it ends up just making you think to much, none of the bits of this movie make sense, and none of it can be explain by "it's future technology" because it doesnt describe how any of this future technology works. this entire movie is built around ideas that make absolutely no sense, it's sad

 

however, i found the first 30 minutes the best part of the movie. it really did make you think about what the future may held

 

still, no ideas came across correctly, in the end, i know this is a short review, but i have to give this movie a 2 out of 10 stars.

It's been a LONG time since i've seen a movie i absolutely hated. i can honestly say, i absolutely hate the house bunny.

 

acting, it's all so over the top it's almost like a joke, the main character is a slut and nothing more, a completely stero typical slut, i give her props for playing a stupid character. but those props arent big because playing a stupid character is quite easy. there is absolutely no acting in the movie that stands out at all, the best actor probably in that whole thing was hugh hefner sadly.

 

the story line, predictable is all i can say. it has no variety and it's pretty obvious where it's going.

 

this movie is after all a comedy. it doenst do this well either though. this is one of those movies that if you see it with 5 friends and you are all either hyper or high, it won't be funny. it has some funny moments, and i chuckled a few times, and a few decently big laughs, but overall it's a medeocre comedy.

 

i misspelled mediocre.

 

anyway, i'm going to give this 3 out of 10 stars. best to not see it and see if you can find it in a garage sale 20 years from now

 

 

comic book movies either do two things. they fail, or they live up to the hype. here comes the dark knight, and this movie created a third dimension to this. it surpassed everything that has ever held a super hero movie back, it has not just lived up to the hype, it has surpassed it in full, this is, without a doubt, the best super hero movie ever created. period. it brought the characters to a whole different level. the best batman movie, best super hero movie, best comic book movie, and best movie of this year so far.

 

The Dark Knight is a dark masterpiece!

 

i have no complaints about this movie. every camera shot is handled with care, and the action is filmed perfectly.

 

speaking of action, lets talk about it. the effects and action in this movie is very realistic, so it is somewhat restricted. but it also has some sequences where it will make the fan boys of batman go crazy, and one part of the movie in particular will do what it did to everyone in the theater. when this particular thing happened, everybody in the theater said one word. "woah". it really is incredible.

 

the story line of this movie is to hard to explain within this blog. heck, it's to much to explain in 10 pages. here's the main dealio.

you have the dark knight himself, batman, who wants to be a symbol to everyone in gotham, he tries to be a symbol that can go beyond the law and do things the police can't do. he's trying to be the hero in the shadows.

then you have harvey dent, who is trying to uphold all the laws and still be a symbol himself, trying to make a perfect democracy, yet at the same time, his way of thinking is it's ok to have a batman as long as he is on the right side of the law.

then you have the joker...and he is trying to tear apart anything that will keep things held together. he is trying to rip economy to shreds using what batman uses against criminals. fear, and wits, along with a little catch. the catch for batman, a dark figure that watches you in the night. the catch for the joker, a man who is insane, but has the wit that can be compared to the most incredible minds in the world. you will see what i'm talking about when you see it.

 

and the acting for the joker is really the only acting anyone cares about in this movie, and it is done perfectly. the joker will scare you, the joker will make you laugh. the joker will make you sweat, and the joker will make sense to you. just as much as he will confuse you. he is played perfectly.

 

don't read this anymore. it's pointless, because bottom line, one of the best movies i have ever seen.

 

The Dark Knight gets a perfect 10 out of 10. you owe it to yourself, go see this movie.

oh.......my.......gah......this movie was soooooo good, i really don't know how i'm going to give this movie a score though. for those of you that don't know, wanted is based off of a comic book series. i'm going to give you the story line for the comic books, then the one for the movies. see how they compare.

 

comic book:

a man is pulled aside by a girl one day, he is told he is the last remaining link of a colony of super villains and he is to help the reminaing super villains hunt down the remaining super hero's and wipe them out. (no, i'm not kidding)

 

movie:

think the same, except now there assassins and they don't have super powers except for added amounts of adrenaline in there system, which allow them to slow down time. they put there trust in "weapons of fate"

 

now, i'll be honest, this is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. it's at the same level as speed racer for me, which i thought was incredible. heres the thing. the acting in wanted is superb, the characters are played great, and surprisingly, angelina jolie plays her part well (not a big fan of her work, but she proved that she could act with this movie) and altogether, the acting is pulled together perfectly, it feels like all the characters were born to play there part. my personal favorite was morgan freeman, he played his part perfectly.

 

lets move onto one of he biggest parts of movies these days, the action...this movie does not dissapoint. movies now have to come out with stuff that nobody has ever seen before so that people will want to see the movie. believe me, you have not seen any of this before. throughout the movie, i never found myself once getting even remotely close to bored. and when you see one of the action scenes near the end of the movie, it's a run and gun scene, you will be in awe, it is incredible to watch. all the action is very far-fetched, but that doesnt make it any less incredible or entertaining. heres what i think of action in movies. as long as the physics are realistic and the crazyness makes sense, i'm cool. like, if a car gets shot once and all of a sudden it flys 50000 feet in the air, that ain't gonna cut it. if it gets hit in a gas tank and flys into some other cars, that makes slightly more sense. this movie's action was on point, it mixed perfect physics with the idea that things such as bullets can be curved and such. it really makes you think, if bullets could curve in real life and assassins were this deadly and good at what they do, this could all indeed happen. and the effects look absolutely incredible, from the detailed shots of a guy getting shot through the head with a bullet to a girl snapping her stapler (you'll get what i'm talking about when you see it) it really is phenominal.

 

the plot is creative and gives you just enough space to have to think things through without over doing it, it's seamless and perfect.

 

only one thing i don't like about the movie, it didnt stick to it's comic book roots. it sucks, because as much as i loved this movie, if it doesnt follow it's original source, at least to a certain point, i can't let it off as a perfect interpretation of the comic book. if this movie was made without being based on the comic book, it would get a perfect 10.

 

however, due to the fact that it's a incredible movie, but it doesnt fully follow the storyline provided for it, i will give it a 9.5 out of 10!

i think one of the worst things you can see is a classic tv show be resurrected into a movie, then watch the movie fall just beneath the bar that's been set. and it happened with get smart. the show was HILARIOUS. the movie, just decent.

 

it's supposed to be a comedy, and this movie does have some very funny moments. it's just the humor is more along the lines of subtle humor. it's not what's said, it's HOW it's said. it's still funny, but it still lacks.

 

this is going to be my shortest review yet, because really everything else about this movie is great. great story, great stunts, great acting, however, it's a COMEDY, meaning we should be laughing more than the occasional chuckle.

 

still good, but it missed it by that much.

 

7 out of 10 stars
