Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Most Anticipated Movie Of 2016
I watched the new BVS movie in theaters and here is my opinion on the movie. Lets start off with the positives
1. Great performances and acting that makes you believe the characters are angry!
2. Creative and unique ways to show how each Hero was born.
3. Intense action and extreme peril to keep audience entertained.
4. Great special effects and amazing photography.
5. Awesome music and great sound for an action movie.
6. Takes to classic ideas and puts them together.
7. Excellent idea for a successful movie.
Now, time for the bad stuff.
1. You don't actually see the characters fight very often, they actually only fought for about 15 minutes of the 3 hour film.
2. Too long, some scenes could have been cut out to make the film shorter, and most of the scenes weren't that good either.
3. Why does Lex Luther look like a teen that just finished Special Needs school?
4. Batman and Superman just don't have their "hero" feelings in this movie.
5. Bad ending.
Overall I was pretty disappointed but it was still a good movie.
Home (2015)
Forgettable But Entertaining Family Flict
Story: After a hive-minded alien race called the Boov conquer the Earth, they relocate the planet's human population -- all except for a little girl named Tip (Rihanna), who's managed to hide from the aliens. When Tip meets a fugitive Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons), there's mutual distrust. However, Oh is not like his comrades; he craves friendship and fun. As their distrust fades, the pair set out together to find Tip's mother, but, unbeknown to them, the Gorg -- enemies of the Boov - - are en route.
My Opinion: 6/10 (Okay)
Critics: Colorful, silly, and utterly benign, Home is a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives.
I thought the film was okay, but there are far better family films.
9 (2009)
9 (Dollars of my Money Wasted)
Nine was just awful, critics thought it was OKAT, I thought it was probably one of the worst movies of all time, and it doesn't seem to catch my attention.
The biggest problem is something a rookie director would make, and I don't mind the outstanding visuals.
The huge problem is it is Horribly fast paced. At the beginning, you are shown a clip of 9 being created, and then it shows the creator dying. After that, he goes out in the streets and already meets a new member, and only 5 minutes in, there is an action scene when the monster comes and takes the other guy he met, and then he leaves. That's just 5 minutes, now, the movie shows a telescope of 9 walking forward and then he falls, he wakes up in a room and he is being stitched together by a new friend. (and only 10 minutes in) He meets number 8 and number 1. Also, there is poor character development, you only see that he is a total wiener. And quite old. Then you meet what I believe is 6, and he's really addicted to the source. Now what about 7? 7 was believed to be dead and they meet 7 while they looked for the guy the monster took, and 7 appears while they're being attacked, how could you meet a friend after 10,000 years after they were believed to be dead? Wow, how stupid.
But, the movie is so bad, and so poorly crafted, it has that so-bad-its-good kind of feeling that makes you want to keeping on watching the awfulness. One final note: Voice acting was cancer, and so was the dialog.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Full of Cons and Full Of Pros
I looked at the trailer, the reviews, and the critics and I had to watch it, and I'm sure glad I did. So basically I really couldn't keep track because so much was going on, but basically I think the story was on a trip to Jupiter, a good, helpful robot turns evil after a rude compliment. He then kills one member of the ship, and then proceeds to refuse to let David enter the ship. David makes a dumb decision to leave his helmet in the ship and here is the memorable scene when he jumps out and risked his life to enter the ship and then shuts HAL down. After that a series of creepy noises and rainbows fly all over the place after David saw on the news that life was found on Jupiter. Then, he is shown dying extremely fast. The scene was pretty enjoyable, and then he turns into a CGI baby floating in the sky, with the memorable (Bum, bum, buuuuuum!) So I enjoyed the movie, I didn't understand the whole monolith thing, and I really want to watch this movie again so I can focus on that part, but still I enjoyed it. Some things were wrong with the movie, (I still give it a 10/10 because I'm generous) It was very confusing. I still am confused. And it's really not like any other movie we have today, Kubrick really went for something different here, and it was a bit interesting. I won an Oscar, and of course nothing but the outstanding effects, how did they have those visuals?? I really believe Stanely time traveled, it's literally 99% impossible to get clear and perfect images of planets like that in 1965, those pictures are good enough to put onto someone's home screen cell phone. (If you're wondering why I said 1965, that's because 1965 - 1966 was the filming dates for this movie, which makes it even more impressive). Just amazing visuals, this looks BETTER than Transformers. Now, another reason why I believe he time traveled (exaggeration) is because he predicted SO much, I mean, he predicted Skype, moon landing, and he even predicted daily news. And things like Siri. How did he do it? This movie looks like a 2001 movie. (See what I did there?) Why do people seem you hate this movie? You ask, well, I think people hate this movie because they're too impatient, and yes, the beginning scenes were quiet boring. But it got so interesting when HAL killed the guy, then you start you ask for the next scene! The dialog was pretty realistic, and so was the acting. Overall, I loved this movie and recommend for families who love Sci-Fi. One Final Note: I liked it, but it should have been called "3001: A Space Odyssey"
Hercules (2014)
An instant classic
Very good movie, I liked the movie a lot.
It was very entertaining, I mean, who gives a s@&! about acting and directing? All that matters is if it's fun and entertaining, stop it you dumb movie critics! This was a masterpiece!!
Recommended for teens, and adults alike! The movie is bloody and very funny at some moments!
Very intense and fun!!!!

Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe (2015)
Bad short film, but some thrillers
I was disappointed. This short came on before The Peanuts Movie, which was disappointing as well. This was a very intense short film with nothing that looks like it had any effort. Just explosions and Solar System disasters and nothing creative. The movie is bad. It's not entertaining (which is how I judge some movies).
I rate this movie 6/10. Do better next time punk! I hate when movies do this.
The guy is looking for his acorn and then he is moving around. He then falls in a hole and then goes in a space ship he secretly finds. He goes to space and knocks and destroys the solar system.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Yet Another Ridiculous Movie That Was Successful, enough already!
This is the worst in the series, I actually liked the first two, then the Dark of The Moon and Age of Awfulness were bad!
To be honest, none of them were that good. Transformers nominated three Oscars, Revenge of The Fallen nominated one Oscar. Dark of The Moon (which I thought was bad) nominated three Oscars. This one, where are they? Oh yeah, NO Oscars! This has to be the worst in the series.
Don't waste your money on this trash. The only reason I'm not giving it 1/10 is because it-it.... really I just did because it's not that bad. But still awful.
Go watch something else. And here is a link to a part of the movie, this is how bad the dialog is. And the stupid directing.

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
Extremely scary and disturbing, best for older teens
This is very scary, it has big jump scares that pop up when you least expect them, daring you to keep on watching it. It has a great ending but very scary towards the last seconds with the red and black demon.
The movie turned out better than I thought. I would give it 9 or 8 out of 10 if it weren't for how it was done.
The movie had scene after scene with no atmosphere to get your heart running. Just jump scares. Your heart doesn't beat like other moves but it's scary because the jump scares get you every time. Not a really good movie but I recommend it if you're wanting to see a movie on a late night to be scared with a friend!
6/10 Okay movie.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
There is no movie like this one.
This horror classic, or just a masterpiece itself, is the reason chainsaws have the reputation they have today. Even though in the movie only one person is actually killed with a chainsaw. The unrelenting horror of the movie makes it seem like the chainsaw is the main part. Even if this movie was called, "The Texas Spoon Massacre" and involved a spoon. It will still be a masterpiece. It was scary in nineteen seventy four. And some scenes from the movie are still disturbing today.
Who cares about the rewards this movie got? One win and one nomination? Critics reward to Tobe Hooper and in 2014 it won best selling DVD. It's two small rewards but this movie doesn't need rewards to be good. If you're in for a good slasher film. Have fun with this one!
San Andreas (2015)
Very bad.
This is one of the worst movies of 2015. It's a dumb disaster movie. If you are in for a movie that depends only on special effects, it's this one.
One of Alfred Hitchcocks sayings, "If the sound cuts out while people are watching a movie, they should still have a perfect idea of what is going on." This movie broke that rule.
If this movie had bad effects, it would look terrible. It's the effects that made some people give it a positive review. It's a bad movie, lets all be honest. It's effects are the only reason it has 6.2/10.
Other movies like Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (2011) are better because they have better plots. This is just garbage.
Now you see the real reason I don't like this movie is because it depended too much on special effects.
Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015)
Wait, what? Way better than I thought!
This movie is going to win an Oscar or nominate one. Because that was a good movie! The animation was good too!
This is probably one of the best movies of 2015. More people need to see it. It's probably the name that made people refuse this glorious masterpiece. It was better than the last Wallace and Grommit movie. This movie is just fantastic. How could this movie have only 7.4 rating? How? It should be 8-10 because that was good!
I want a sequel, like, as soon as possible. That movie was awesome! If you are in for a big adventure, a nice, simple movie. You need to see this masterpiece. It is a really good movie.
Madagascar (2005)
A Classic, underrated.
This movie is underrated.
The movie should not be underrated, 6.9/10 is still an okay and good rating.
This movie needs to have better ratings. I want to vote for it. I usually find all Pixar movies with high ratings but this is unacceptable.
It is a classic and funny. It does have a few weird scenes but it is a memorable movie.

If you want to direct a good movie, this is a good example to look at. Now let me repeat myself.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Tobe Hooper didn't direct this movie like he did to the original
This movie isn't TERRIBLE. I gave it a 3 out of 10 because it is just disappointing the the original, in the original they let a girl get away and shouldn't that girl have told the police about the murderers? The thing should have been all over. If this was a sequel it should have been about the beginning of it all. Not into the future. The movie just made no sense. If you get the time right, Leatherface was 34 in the first movie, if this movie takes place 13 years later. He should be 47. So they been at for 17 years? How did they go from a house to an abandon circus. Did they move? So did they just leave all the other dead body parts in the other house and drive in their truck? They snuck in the circus and moved there? How did they get their victims? More people wanted to sneak in or did Leatherface come out of the circus and look for victims. In some scenes in "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2" you can see Leatherface comes into houses and cars to kill his victims, then he brings their bodies. Then he butchers them at the circus. So it's a bit stupid. In the original people would go INTO the house and die. In this movie people would be kidnapped.
Overall the movie sucked.
Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)
Well Done, John Luessenhop
This movie was not super good or super bad. It wasn't extremely scary, it was a little scary though. It wasn't super intense. It was just well done. It was okay, it was alright, it was not as good as the original.
The first section of the film of good. Introduction to characters, jobs, what was happening, and I loved it. The second part was good. They drived, and like in the original they picked up a hitchhiker. He wasn't insane, but he was a thief. He stole things from the house they went to, it was a mansion so it was a jack pot for him. He finds stairs and decides to go down and see the things he can steal. He finds a metal door. Remember the metal door from the original? We all know the horrors that await behind the metal door. He looks at something else and then he got hammered from BEHIND and it was Leatherface. Leatherface hammered him in the head 20 times. The look of Leatherface was a bit, old. He looked old. The person who played Leatherface was 47 years old at the time. He might have had a hard time with those chase scenes!
The worst part of the movie was its "prequelity". I know, that's not a word. But you know what I mean right? It is a bit of a sequel and a prequel. The beginning it takes place RIGHT after, like literally seconds after the girl escaped in the truck, Leatherface swinging his chainsaw like a retard. The police arrive and there is literally 10 people in the house that are all part of the family! Where did they come from? In the original they weren't there. So that part sucked. The rest was okay. The scariest part of the movie was when Leatherface was first starting to kill. Like the part when the girl was in the grave. Leatherface heard her crying a little, he then chainsaws the grave and she is screaming, saved by her friends when they came and said, "Hey! Who are you? What are you doing?" He looked behind and ran towards them. That was pretty damn good. That part was scary, and clever. Then he just chased them, then he "got shot" with the shotgun. Looks like it was false. They got in the car and drove away. They tried to bust through the gate and failed, the car seemed to have broke. They tried to fix it. Leatherface was on his way, he got closer. They tried to go but couldn't. The gate opened. Leatherface chainsawed the back off the car but then they took off. He threw his chainsaw on the ground with anger. Then he sees the tier broken, they crashed. Leatherface picks up his chainsaw and walks to the area.
The girls wake up, they look behind them and see Ryan got his head cut off by the car window. Ouch! She screams. The two girls are alive and one cries and complains and then the girl says, "Sh, shh..." Then BAM! Leatherface's chainsaw busted through the window, one girl escapes and Leatherface is stuck with the other one, the girl that escapes says, "Hey! Over here, yeah, you country f*ck!" It angers Leatherface and he comes over and chases her, she finds fence, she climbs over the fence, it leads to a fair! She climbs it and goes in the crowd, Leatherface chainsaws the fence down, he looks for the girl in the crowd and everybody is screaming and running. She goes on the fair wheel, Leatherface sees her and goes below her and raises his chainsaw up into the air, she screams as the ride goes down. Then before Leatherface can inject his chainsaw into her anus, a cop comes out of nowhere and says to Leatherface, "Drop the weapon, ..... Now!" He throws the chainsaw to the cop but he ducks. He then retreats. The girl is saved and the cop is fine.
The ending, this part probably fingered millions. The thing is, Leatherface, the killer, is the girl's cousin. Leatherface was about to kill her but she cries, Leatherface touches her face a little, he feels something, they are in a factory right now. He takes the mouth strap off and she says automatically, "It's me! I'm your cousin!" He jumps back in surprise and turns his chainsaw on and cuts the rope. She is free but then 2 men come and knock Leatherface in the head and stomp on his face. They tie him up. They make up attached to a rope that leads to a painful shredder, the man says, "You're doing to die today! Looks like mother raised a bad boy! A murderer!" (something like that, I haven't seen the movie in a while). The girl (Heather) wants to go back and save her cousin, she gets a broom and drives it through one of the stomachs. She saves Leatherface and they shred him. The sheriff comes and aims a gun at his head. She says, "Don't shoot!" when another brother says, "Shoot him! Please he's about to kill me!" the sheriff doesn't shoot. He says, "Clean this sh*t up." and walks away. He let the killer free. He may have killed hundreds of people in his lifetime. But now he is free, able to live with his cousin.
So, overall the movie is cool. Check it out!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)
Not as bad as people say it is, but still bad.
This movie was, kind of okay. First of all, it was a little scary, that's why I give it 6/10. The rest was crap. First of all, it had some good cool things, kind of cool seeing the beginning. I thought the rest was a, just a scare fest. Nothing interesting, it's just gory and makes it hard for you to sleep. It was NOT as good as the other movies. The original is WAY better than this. It has no moments in the movie that make you say, "Wow! That was well done!" It is just not as creative as the other movies. I don't recommend it. If you love The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you might like it. I love The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It is not as good though. It is a poorly thought film. I want everyone here who haven't seen the original, watch the original. You'll love it, but never see this movie first. Thank you.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Not as good as the original, but still good.
This movie is good, for a remake. It had a few cool and good scary moments to the movie. Like Leatherface getting his arm chopped off. That was cool. It did have SOME stupid and bad scenes. Like Leatherface coming out of the bushes, after getting his arm cut off and chainsaws some of the car. It was alright. I didn't think that was necessary. Also the girl leaves in MUCH better condition. She is a little sweaty, but over all, she is driving a car okay. In the original she is covered in blood and screaming, injured, and crying. It makes it scarier that way. But not when the girl is fine. The movie also had AMAZING effects. Like when Andy ran and got his leg cut off. It looked really realistic. The dialog in the movie was pretty cool too. The costumes looked awesome. Overall, the movie was pretty cool. It recommend we all see it if you seen the original. I like the original better. But check this movie out!
Asshole (2009)
Humiliating!
I feel like I'm homosexual after watching this humiliating film. It was the biggest insult I've ever seen. It was humiliating! The film was a doctor who said his patient (with a problem with his asshole) said he was an asshole. Then he got really detailed on what the asshole was and said what is looks like (most people don't know what a butthole looks like) and then they went on about it. Double asshole. That's why the film is called asshole. And it is so humiliating. You might feel weird about your 3.0 noddy body if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). The film had a few humiliating moments. But it is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen to be honest.
Alien (1979)
Meets Expectations
The movie was good and met expectations. It is fantasy, meaning it has fantasy and it does have fantasy. It is a thriller, and boy did it thrill me! It meets expectations and it also, its jump scares and pop ups do promote this movie to a bit of a horror movie. The movie did make me jump from now and then. The movie also had amazing screenplay for its time. This movie was the best movie of 1979. It has inspired many other movies. It has many sequels, and although "Aliens" (Alien 2) is regarded as "better" than the original, there is NO denying that Ridley Scott's original was absolutely a good movie. The reason it doesn't get a 10/10 is because it had nothing bad, but just wasn't good enough. Overall 9/10.
The Lion King (1994)
Greatest Disney movie of all time
Wisely said one of the greatest films of all time.... this Disney classic has won many awards because it's great. It has everything to make a good film. A setting, characters, plot, and an adventure that makes it the greatest, if not, one of the greatest films of all time history. It is a film that has horror, drama, adventure, comedy, and EVERY GENRE! The horror part comes from the terrifying deaths. But this Disney classic is the greatest movie that Disney ever pulled out of their pocket. I recommend everybody sees this amazing movie. Obviously the greatest film of 1994 and even possibly the best film of the 90's. It has no reason to be skipped or given a bad rating, this movie does have many sequels but they're pretty bad, this is the one you should be focusing on.
