A sequel to Death Race, which was a remake of the classic Death Race 2000.
This movie is poor at best. You could watch a worse movie, but why bother when you can close your eyes and pick any movie at random that would likely be better than this.
4/10
The storey of the tyranny of King John after his signing of the Magna Carta.
It’s a very good medieval tale. Rather gory at times. And you get a bit of a history leason while you watch. Assuming of course they did their homework before making the movie. Personally I don’t know the actual history of this particular situation, so I’ll assume they told it reasonably accurately, and if so, it was well done.
7/10
To sum it up, it’s the storey about how heaven controls the timeline of human society.
It has the taste of a spy movie to it. Where the spy is running from the man. Basically the exact same plot as most films Matt Damon makes. Be a rebel, get in trouble, run for your life, yadda, yadda. When did he last star in a movie where this wasn’t his character?
It’s completely forgettable. An okay watch, fairly pridictable. Watch, don’t watch it, it will kill some time if you’re bored.
6/10
What do you get when you take a grey alien and give him a human personality and voice? Paul.
It starts off slow and you wonder what you are going to end up sitting through. But before long you can’t look away. It’s a lot of fun, and far funnier and entertaining than you would have expected. If you are a sci-fi fan and like comedy, you will love this movie.
9/10
Apparently based on the true storey of lost honour in the Roman army. Our hero (played by the hot Channing Tatum) spends his life striving to recover his family’s honour.
It’s a good storey, told fairly well, with reasonable acting I suppose, but far from great acting from any single character. The whole movie is lacking something and plods along. I think Channing Tatum carries the movie, not based on his great acting skills, simply by presence, as well does your interest in the storey itself.
7/10
A nice variation on the travel back in time plot. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect after seeing the trailers. There are a few surprises along the way, that we can’t discuss without spoiling it for you. It’s not just a simple action movie, there is an emotional ride as well. It’s worth seeing, and holds value for a wider range of audiences than your average time travel movie.
8.5/10
Another variation on the old vampire storey. This one takes place in the futures after vampire apocalypse, and a twisted version of the Roman Catholic church runs society, not unlike medieval times.
Actually nothing that memorable to share about this one, other than it’s okay as vampire flicks go, but the ending really sucks. You think you’re watching just a random action/fight scene that turns out to be the climax. But you don’t realize it till it’s done, and then suddenly the movie is over, done deal. And you’re left sitting there thinking, “Huh, I guess that’s it.” If it wasn’t for the crappy ending, it would be a better show.
6/10
This is a fun teenager style movie with an 80’s theme. Well done and light hearted.
It has the typical teenager party movie plot; lead teenage boy is kinda geeky, can;t get a girl, lead teenage girl is very hot, can have anyone she wants, geek chases girl, can’t get girl, then get’s girl after making complete ass of himself. Everyone leaves happy, end of story.
100% traditional Hollywood theme for this type of movie, but it works. Good mindless entertainment.
8/10
I enjoyed this remake more than I expected. It was entertaining, the CGI effects of making Chris Evans a skinny short little guy were excellent and totally believable, and it has Chris Evans – who is simply hot!
The only thing I didn’t really care for was that it’s in 3D. For me the 3D fad is over. All it does it make motion blurry at this point. The 3D novelty is long over for me, and I’d enjoy an action movie more if I could actually see the action, instead of the 3 dimensional stuttering blur effect.
As far as putting Chris Evans face on the skinny short 99 pound body, this effect was amazing. Unlike the attempt at this sort of effect that was made in Tron2, where making Jeff Bridges a young man again did not work well, it constantly looked wrong and fake. Not so in Captain America, these guys did it right.
