The Ring Two (2005)
They tried to hard
Let me start by saying I was a huge fan of the first movie my sister and I went to see it in theaters twice and it was so big at our high school that people were screaming and crying when a girl dressed like Samara on Halloween. Naturally when I saw they were making The Ring 2 I was excited but at the same time worried because while the original Japanese director returned he was NOT the one that wrote this script meaning it was all americanized (crap). My sister saw it first and she gave the great advice to wait till it came on tape so when my husband bought it I wasn't expecting much but let me tell you I was wrong it was worse than I expected!!! Another thing I want to say is that I am from Oregon and I have been to Astoria many many many times and in all the times I have been their I have never seen such odd looking deer. My husband thought the deer were elk because they were all freaking huge...Deer are not that fat male or not. Lets just forget the fact that at the time of year the movie is supposed to take place you will not see many deer especially big groups of males and lets notice that these cgi deer look retarded the entire scene ruined the movie for me.
The make up they used on Samara was way overdone and took away from the creepiness of her and made her look like just another little dead girl not a cute but creepy little girl. I felt like they tried to hard to make her scary by not showing her face and when they did show her face it was only ONE eye. They also tried way to hard to make her voice sound all ghosty and scary it just came off as cheap.
You didn't have to figure anything out in this movie it was a no brainer and everything was explained right away so unlike the first movie you didn't have to think.
I could say so much more about this totally unbelievable completely American and obviously overdone movie but I wont....just rent it or wait for it to come out on video.
The Cheetah Girls 2 (2005)
This movie was never meant for girls over twelve
I want to start out by saying THIS MOVIE WAS NEVER MEANT FOR GIRLS OVER TWELVE. Its a tween movie just because the girls in the movie are older does not mean its meant for girls the same age. Yes this movies storyline was a lot like the first movie but consider the fact that it has been quite awhile since the first movie, not to mention the first movie was fun and straying to far from the storyline is risky. I didn't like what they did with aquas character only because they made her sound immature and even a bit stupid sometimes, the girls acting was good it was just the writing that was less than lovable. The costumes at the end of the movie were soooo ugly especially gallerias it was disgusting it made her look ten times bigger than she is. I liked that the girls were all normal in the body size area they actually looked like normal teenage girls. I know that a lot of the old cheetah fans are beyond the age range for this movie now but its a Disney movie they cater to Families and Children not teenage girls so give them a break. This will go on my list of good movies when I have children.
Step Up (2006)
Unrealistic Unoriginal and good for people that like teen flicks
I really don't even know where to start with this piece of artwork, should I bring up all the movies it rips off or the bad acting oh or the fact that its a completely unrealistic movie?
I don't know I understand a decent amount of people liked this movie not enough to give it a decent rating or make the actors worth the tabloids time, the only excuse I can give for this is that its a good movie for teenagers and maybe some people in their early twenties.
Thanks to a very brave person on youtube I had the chance to watch this movie without paying for it (thank you Jesus) not that I would have paid for it. I didn't have a very high opinion of the movie before I watched it so I didn't think that I could be disappointed but once again I was wrong!!! There's a scene in a dance club where all of a sudden everyone is doing the same choreography.....apparently EVERYONE is raised knowing the same ten minute routine. This movie stereotypes everyone I mean of course all poor black men are gangsters and all ballet dancers are rich....yeah.
Don't waste your money on this movie if you really want to watch it go to youtube and watch it their.
