Movie Critic

So I've watched quite a few movies recently, so I'll rate them and tell you why they were kinda good or if they sucked.

Fantastic 4: I heard many bad things about this movie, but in the end, I thought it was actually quite good. I'm seeing myself develop as a bigger and bigger fan of super hero movies that have been adapted from comic book series recently... or maybe I'm just a fan of Stan Lee mostly? Anyways, the movie was really good in the plot, action was great and pletiful with very good special effects, and the humor was pretty good. The negatives that I to comment about mostly has to do with the length (or lack thereof) regarding the main Dr. Doom vs. F4... and by that I mean there wasn't too much of a struggle between the 2 sides (good vs. evil) until about the last 1/6 of the movie. If they could've doubled the length that they were the good guys fighting the bad guy and made it more dramatic with a higher plateau of an ending, it would've been great. I could've done without the last bit of Invisible Girl marrying Mr. Fantastic... should've left us hanging like Spiderman did in the first movie - the bad guy is defeated, but the good guys didn't have a 100% happy ending, which shows that there are more to come. Final rating: 8/10


Into the Blue: I had no idea what the premise of this movie was going to be... maybe a modernized version of Jaws or something, but ended up being pretty dumb. There was more Paul Walker than Jessica Alba, and the co-star couple were butt ugly to look at. The story itself was cheesy, with the action portion of it being moderate at best. Treasure hunters they were... believe me, this movie was NOT a buried treasure at the video store. The story basically described a struggling wanna be treasure hunter with a hot girlfriend, and a friend shows up with a dumb bitch, accidentally discovers a crashed crack filled plane, and the friend digs bigger and bigger holes for Paul Walker to get himself and his g/f out of in an attempt to simultaneously rescue a REAL treasure. Story sucked, not enough of Jessica. Final rating: 4/10

Wedding Crashers: Definetly not something you want to see with you mom, because low and behold, there are boobies! Titties at 2 parts of the movie and a bunch of references to sexual anneuendos. Storyline got too cheesy, espcially at the end, but the premise itself of a legacy of wedding crashing is very tantilizing and interesting in itself with all of the rules (I read them all in the bonus of the DVD). Great jokes here and there, and makes you wonder if you can pull something like that off yourself (crashing weddings), but the guy-chasing-already-taken-girl simply lasted for way too much of the movie and should have focused more on crashing more weddings that they shortened at the beginning. Would serve to be a great "date" movie though I think. Final rating: 7/10

War of the Worlds: Well, we always expect Stephen Spilberg to give us great visual effects and he didn't disappoint, as everything (but the aliens) look very real in the explosion of the cities and such. Now that I think back on it, when I was watching the movie I was really pissed at Tom Cruise's son because of the way he was acting immature and how retarded teenagers can be. But that basically means that the dialogue/script and the acting was very good in making me feel those emotions due to the true representation of those types of characteristics of teenagers in real life! The story itself can be critiqued in one word: shit. We see some parts of Tom Cruise dealing with his sanity as the world comes crashing down around him and his own emotions clashing with his responsibility as a father. Emotions in the movie I would say were pretty good and acting was not bad. However, the story itself as I've said: shit. Aliens taking over, we gotta find a way to kill them before they obliterate everything. Okay, I will throw a granade into the alien vagina looking thing right before it sucks me up to kill me, it blows up and dies. Big whoop, we killed 1 out of the hundreds that are going around the globe killing people. Then, out of no where, birds are flying around one of the main alien battleships, and it starts to die?!?! What did Tom Cruise say? The birds have no metal? WTF? Now lets sit back as the army blasts it with rocket launchers, it crashes down and ONE freaking alien pops out and dies. They god home, end of movie. WHAT THE HELL?? No conclusion of what happened to the world, no CLEAR explanation of how they killed the big robot, and no idea how (if at all) they spread the word to the rest of the world as to how to go about killing the extermination robots. NO conclusions, no explanations, no academy award for anyone that helped produce this movie. Final Ratings: 4/10
