Summer movie challenge day 18

Day 18

Careful for spoilers

Name the most hated movie by nerds. Its not john carter. Its not daredevil(I like it) but in fact it is green lanturn.

Full disclosure I own this movie cuz I didnt hate it. I also didnt love it. But I accepted it for what it was and could be for the time.

Why was it hated so much? Well first they picked the wrong green lanturn. The right one is john stewert. No not the funny man. But the black army dude green lanturn. That would have been the mocie people want to see. But itlnstead they casted a wisecracker Ryan Reynolds as hal jordan and expected it to be good. Come on guys ryan reynolds is deadpool and nothing else. But alas it is what it is.

Ohhhh that animation. Like they wanted ut to look fake. In the next year we had the avengers which is basically all CGI and green screens (yes, there is a slight differnce). For a movie that is all about the outter rim of the universe they didnt want to use excellent costumes and make up. Which btw gaurdians of the galaxy did in 2014 and job well done.

Maybe its just DC. They cant make a good movie. They are currently taking the marvel model of making alot of single hero movies and adding them into one justice legaue event. It will likely crash and burn. They are banking it on the man of steel superman. Which yeah he is okay but ehhh. Different review. Batman v superman might be good but regaurdless not as good as it could be. Lucky us a new green lanturn will be in those movies. Hopefully jon stewert.

Plot: Well there is not much of a plot. I hal jordan becomes the green lanturn. He goes through basic training. They make rhe villain really unlikely and pointless and unmeromable. Seriously I juat watched it and idk his name. Was it paralaxative? Or something. What every he wins who cares.

The great thing about this movie was the trailer. It really made you want to watch it.

Also the other good thing was blake lively omg so hot! They get married after thjs movie I think. So you know one good thing came from it.

Last good thing and this make you pumped. The oath "in brightest day, in darkest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evils might, beware my power....green lanturns LIGHT!

Final verdict: I recognize its a bad movie so 4.5/10 but its watchable to me so I give it a 5.5/10. I dont recommend you buy it but at least watch a highlight reel on youtube or the trailer. Itbhas a good trailer.

Random recommendations: superman 1 and 2. Superman returns. Man of steel. Batman and robin. Batman.

Summer movie challenge day 17

Day 17

Careful for spoilers

You know a handful of these reviews are well known movies. I know what you want  you want an unknown movie that you want ro try out. Well luckly disney is running their original movies so I am going to review hatching pete.

Have you ever been that kid who was an unknown? I know I am. And so was pete.(jason doley) he has real athletic ability but he didnt ever go out there.

The premise is that as a favor to get hjs best friends sister to gonout with him, pete will becoming the "chicken" mascot to a terrible basketball team. This was perfect for pete becuz he could be popular without being known. Or laughed at. Of coarse being a disney movie it is good for one person and bad for another. Pete makes his friend popular cuz everyone thinks he is in the suit. But of coarse pete want that glory. Luckly he gains enough confidence to make himslef known without the suit.

Final verdict 6/10 its pretty good but it is a common story so I wouldnt recommend it. However I do recommend these:

The luck of the irish, up up and away, the thirteenth year, the other me, and smart house

Day 16 ish

So.I was sick so I didnt do a review.

Day 16

(Careful for spoilers)

Ok here is your hint. Its not how to train your dog. Its not kung fu dragon. And its not ice age. What is it? How to train your dragon.

So how do you train your dragon? I dont know. I do know that dragons hate eels, love belly rubs and some have six shots. Those arent important details.

In this story we follow the tail( ha pun ull gey it) of hiccup the only child of stoick the village leader. Now stoick is a great dragon slayer and hiccup is wel not. He is a small boy but a genius. One day to prove to his father he could slay a dragon he launchs a device to capture dragons and he successed. He his a nightfury out of the sky into the woods. While trying to slay the nightfury he sees that he was hurt and his tail was broken. Since the nightfurt couldnt fly he was no harm to hiccup. Hiccup comes back the next day with a prosthetic to assist him with flight. It works! But it needs a pilot. So the dragon doesnt get very far. While assisting the dragon hiccup learns that he is a kind creature lpoking out for its needs. When interacting with him hiccup learns "how to train his dragon ;)" by know these tricks he was able to fool the village into thinking he was a dragon master.

Ill leave that there. Watch the movie!

This movie has a really good soundtrack some of the songs keep you calm and other get you excited to fly! Oh and the animation! Wow sometimes you forget you are watching a cartoon.

Final verdicit: I really liked this movie. Dream wroks keeps knocking them out. And they are awesome! I give this a 9/10. I recommend watch and buying this and its sequal. And watch put a third one is on the way ;)

Random recommendations: how to train your dragon 2, kung fu panda, shrek, frozen(nah) wreck it ralph, monsters inc

Summer movie challenge bonus

(This is jurassic world) dont read if you dont want to be spoiled

Suprsingly jurassuc world was an actually sequel. I thought its goal was to revive the jurassuc park fanchise through redoing the original. While some of those points are true. It is a stand alone story that countines the story from where jurassic park 3 left off. But not crappy.

Owen (chris pratt) is are start. He trains the main villians of the series (the raptors) and shows the humans and dinos can live together. If there is respect.

Also side note there are alot of ridiculous ads in the movie and one scene where someone runs alot.....in heels so you know ignore that.

once again... alas! something goes wrong!

But ill get to thay later.

So to start off the movie. Jurassic park has been rebuilt but this time better. There is a zone for dinos and a zone for named dinos. Cool. But guess what? Dinos are not enough. They have to make it more entertaining. So they create a new dino called the indominus rex. Which btw looks pretty cool.

This monster has been created with so many animals its basically a Frankensteins monster. It can camouflage, change body temp, and rapidly grow from brith.

So not knowing the components of the monster the trainers thing it escaped and when they learn it didnt, it did. The park staff wasnt prepared for an escape of this creature so it was impossible to stop.
Im done there. No need to spoil more.

Final verdict: my initial reaction is that its a 8/10 but idk if it will remain that high. It had excellent effects but once agajn the story was simple and explained in the trailer. So I say go see it. Its is the second best of the franchise.

Summer movie challenge day 15

Day 15

Careful for spoilers

We all love owen wilson but did you know he has a brother? He does! And he made one funny movie with kill of the hills mike judge

Its idiocracy a story about how the dumbest of us all (like me) will live to ruin the world. As it is shown in the opening. The more intelligent you are, the less likely you are to reproduce. Becuz of this the idiots out number the intellectual types. Even though this is a comedy it speaks a true messege.

The story follows joe the mpst average man on the planet in 2005. He gets volunteered to be apart of a solider preservation program. Along side a prostitute they are frozen but due to unfortunate events they get frozen for 500 years.

Joe awakes to find that the world is far more stupider than he left it. He sets out to have a mission to travel back in time to correct these wrongs. However idiots will be idiots and create set backs along the way.

Once again this is a comedy so there is not alot of sub plots. To ruin the ending.... he saves the worlds crop problem with basic agricultural knowlegde.

Rating: 7.5/10 its a good movie with alot of Rewatchablity. However I douvt you want to own it unless you pair it wuth another movie called lets go to prison that movie gives the same feel as this one but has more of a plot.

Random recommendations:

Office space, my cousin vinny, lets go to prison, and employee of the month.

Summer movie challenge day 14

Day 14

Careful for spoilers

The pursuit of happy happiness

Wow. Just wow. This wpuld be my favorite movie if not for the sadness. Will smiths performance makes you want to go into the screem and hug him.

That man did so much for his child all to pursue a dream. A dream which was nearly impossible. After watching this movie this man should have been afforded a lot more. Luckly it works out for him.

If any other person was in this situation, living pay check to pay check, ride to ride, day to day, they would have never endured. But chris, will smiths character, had a great mind and a strong will. And it is all thanks to a rubix cube.

Ohhh the tear jerkers! When he is fighting for a spot.at the shelter. When he cries in the bathroom. When he gets the job. Wow. No matter who you are, you love this guy.

Final verdict : this movie gets a 8.5 /10 I highly recommend watching it on a date. Youll enhoy it and they will want to become him with you.

Summer movie challenge day 13

Day 13

(Careful for spoilers)

We are gonna get a good movie today! Im am going to review patch adams.

A underated movie. Robin williams plays a suicidal man named. Patch. The start of the movie is patch in a mental hospital (self admitted) and he obverses how the doctors treat their patients. Not well. So he thinks to himself "what can I do ?" So he enrolls in med school

While in med school he make the typical side kick friend. And with any friend comes an enemy. This enemy is none other than Phillp Seymore Hoffman. Hoffman plays your know it all student who stresses over everything. Of coarse a slacker like patch is his enemy. In addition to friends/enemies, there is a love interest who for the life of me everytime looks like julia roberts.

While in med school patch breaks all the tradtions and rules.

Why? Cuz F the medical Police thats why.

So patch jumps a few steps and interacts with patients which is a 3rd year students level.

Important side note. This is a real life story and the scene when patch cuts off a rubber ball and puts it on his nose became a campaign. Or Red Nose Day. It is a message patch believed in. Making people laugh is more important than fixing a patient.

You gotta trust me on this one the rest of the story is good. But if I talk about it it ruins the suprise so ill say their is a trial, a hospital and death.

Final verdict:

9/10 a reall good movie. I watch it almost every year. Youll laugh. Youll cry and even be suprised! Since it is so underrated its always cheap to buy which I recommend you do. One of williams best roles.

Unfortunately this movie had to great actors commit suicide in their life. Hoffman, williams, this movie has an important message about life. Please listen to it. Even when things get rough suicide is not the answer.

Random recommendations:

Day 12

(Careful for spoilers)

Today we review the judge

Wow this movie takes all the cliches of lawyers and lawyer movies and just shoves it into one film. While with movie was not bad, there wasn't a hook.  Robert downy Jr. was once again great, but he was himself. I dont know after a few movies with the stuck up know it all, you cant say great acting. 

But i cant deny that his performance still moved me. opposite robert duvall these two were clearly grumpy old men,..

There is the classic " stuck in my home town" scenes, lost loves, grumpy dad, to many cliches to count. I did like seeing dax shepard in the film, but he was a bumbling idiot. 

I guess you want a quick summary:

hot shot lawyer comes back to town to bury his mother he loves, however the father he hate is making life hell. Unfortunately the father "commits" a hit and run and is sent to trial. He is in a small town so if he did it, he is doomed, if he didnt, then he is still doomed but only his reputation.

Hm. idk what to say, it wasnt good but wasnt bad, I think im going to cut this one short because of my mixed feelings, I may come back to this one some day but for now...

Final verdict: 5*/10 subject to change.

Summer movie challenge day 11

Day 11

(Careful for spoilers)

Lets do another classic. Im thinking the greatest fighter ever. (Well non-cartoon). He took down a russian gaint. He has an iconic theme song. He lives in Philadelphia. Im talkin about Rocky.

I should just review the first movie but that movie is just the start of a saga. What im going to do is guve snippets of each movie and tell you which movies to watch and which to skip.

Lets start at number 5. Or Rocky V. Why start there? Cuz it crap. Garbage. A waste of your time. The only good part is it countines the night of rocky IV. After that. Shut off the movie. Why was it so bad? Well the creater slyvestor stallone even said that it was made just so he could make it. He hated the film and hated how he had rocky as a loser at the end of the film. But wuth the failure of rocky 5 the studio didnt want to give him a redemption film.

Now lets go to rocky 6 or rocky balloba. This film came about almost 2 decades after rocky 5 and u can tell. Slys not lookin to good. But uk im still scared of him. The 70 year old man....

In this film it has been decade sense rocky returned to philly and things are going pretty good, not great. His wife has died from cancer, he lives alone with his dog, and his son is some hotshot. But he has his own restaurant, he is a town hero, and can be friends with just about anyone.

I guess there was this popular thing on espn where they would pin modern day fighters to living/nonliving legends (in their prime) of the sport to see who would win? Well they pin rocky to an modern undefeated fighter (who has never fought anyone)( similar to flyod Mayweather) and claims rocky wins. This got alot of attention becuz the fighter said no, I can win. And rocky is still alive, so rocky got alot of attention as well. Remember how rocky only has a few things in his life? Well fighting was one thing he could get back that he lost.

(Side note) there is a very powerful speech in the fighting commitee scene and thats a message we should all believe in. " it not about how hard u can hit, its about how hard u can get hit and keep fighting back!"

This is the only movie with two endings. One where he loses and one where he wins. Im not going to say which they used but both are satisfing.

Okay how about rocky 3? In rocky 3 he is the champ. Livung large and in charge. He does this to the point he doesnt know what a real fight is anymore. He has lost his roots. First he fights MR. T and loses. Then he wait wait did I just say mr. T? First he fights a wrestler named hulk hogan and shows that he is a monster! It took rocky, the crew, and some security , to take this guy down. Theeeen he lost to mr.t after the loss he teams up with good old apollo creed to show that he can get back to the way he was. There is some monatages and eye of the tiger then he fights again in the rematch of the century....like theu dont say that all the time. Rocky wins and Ig learns nothing??? Eh idk not the best one.

Now to the best one!
Rocky IV!  Oh man I cant even o  this film. It should have just stopped here. Wow. So this was released In the 1980s at the height of the U.S.S.R and U.S.A tensions and they pin americas golden boy up with a russian monster.

To start off the russian came to the U.S.A for a exhibition match against then retired apollo creed. But he had a famous I think 2000psi punch. Which for those of u who arent nerds its basically death. Oh btw apollo dies! He taunted the russian to the point that he didnt  care anymore so he killed him. Of coarse rocky wasnt going to take this so he wanted his match, but he had to do it in russia.

So uk rocky gets alot of songs in this one. Passionate driving. Training. The whole nine yards. But understand in the 80s it wasnt corny it was B.A. and he was fighting for america so buzz off! So they get to the fight and rock is ready thw russia gets a few punches in but then sees that rocky is made of iron he is mot going down! They go almost all round rock and ivan drago (the russian) are almost dead. They start and rocky take down the russian no ifs ands or but rocky is the champ. Im not giving it justice becuz of how short it is. The shortest of all.

Lastly rocky and rocky II these go back to back. We are introduced to rocky an average joe fighter. But he has a heart. The actual events that lead to the fight are better seen than descibed. But he does his famous training and gets to the fight. The fight is close the whole time. They go all rounds and unfortunately the Italian stallion lost. But income rocky 2. He is famous! And his whole life is changed. Becuz of how the fight appeared the medua made it look like it was staged so they wanted a rematch. They are set for a rematch and rocky is better than ever. But apollo is slacking a bit. They fight and rocky does the Impossible K.O.s apollo creed!

Now that I got 6! Movie out of the way lets jump to recommendations and stuff.

In order best to worst :

Rocky 4
Rocky 1/2
Rocky balloba
Rocky 3
Rocky 5

Now there is 7th coming out but its not all rocky. Just the characters.
Im waiting for a preview but it looks promising. Its about apollo  creeds grandson becoming a fighter.

Final verdict: as a whole its a 9/10 individually its all over the place. Im not one for sports movies but this one is great. It gets you psyched and has a great sound track for running. I suggest you buy all but rocky 5.

Random recommendations:
Grudge match, remember the titans, we are marshal, rookie of the year, grid iron gang.

Summer movie challenge day 10

Day 10

(Major careful for spoilers! jump to the end!)

My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. When I was a child I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me. And one day, I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am the flash!

Wow. Powerful.

So lets get this out of the way. We will not recognize the 1990s version as existing. The 2014 version is eons better! Newbie actor grant guston plays the most famous flash barry allen. And to be honest I love his portrayal. He is the right combo skinny, tall, and quick witted.

Supporting cast: So this is subject to change as it is a TV show, but most notable is Disney's danielle panibaker and tom cavanah. As harrison wells and catliyn snow, respectively. Then a bunch of other no name who play cisco remoan, iris west, eddie thone, and joe west.

What I like about this show is how it took B list talent/newbies and made a successful show right along side arrow and proceeding smallville. Will this show last? I hope so. #6seasonsandamovie

Super spoilers!!!!!!! Skip to bottom!!!!

I like this flash becuz it involves one of the best villians, the reverse flash, and time travel. Also did I mention that opening? Just awesome! Another cool thing is the animation. On a low season 1 budget theh were able to make low quality CGI of super speed with lightning and make it look amazing! You feel like the flash while watching! And some times your run Into a wall thinking you can phase through it. (Not saying I did that ;) )

Also do we understand how broke this version of the flash is? He has rapid healing, superspeed, time travel, cyclone creation, and many others. Also lets note how interesting it is that all of his powers we learned by the flashs main villian, but that guys a paradox anyways. Id like to finish this last note of spoilers with this...

You have to watch the arrow some times to get whats going on. While not necessary, it helps understand the relationship between barry and oliver as well as future characters like the atom. My personal opinion is oliver hate barry but he may hate him like a little brother. Hate out of love.

Im really excited for season 2. We can confirm many things, which if ud liked spoiled just ask. (Cough) time travel/multiverse.

No more spoilers!!!!!

What id like to see more of is the smart alec flash. Like from the cartoons. That flash is funny this one is more moody, which is understandable for a season one. I also would like to see multiple suits. Even superman got a new suit on smallville (yeah yeah clark kent).

Final verdict

9.5/10 this was a poor review of the flash but trust me its a good show. Idk if it will hit netflix soon but I do know some epsiodes are on hulu and CW is showing all the episodes over the summer, they are currently on epsiode 3.

So when season 1 releases I will be buying the flash and adding it to my collection (unless its 30$)

Random recommendation:

Smallville, Arrow, batman animated series, young justice, agents of shield, Agent Carter, and (high hopes!) Supergirl (2015)

Summer movie challenge day 9

Day 9

(Careful for spoilers)

It has accord to me that these have been the most family friendly reviews. Aside from maybe back to the future or jurassic park. So today we will venture down to kiddyville and review kung fu panda.

For starters kung fu panda was taking a big risk. As well all know (cough) expendables. Having to mantly stars in one films is just asking for problems. This movie has a good mix of B-list and A-list all who have done none to some voice acting. We have Jack Black (previous voices shark tale), Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogan (previous B.o.B monsters vs. Aliens), lucy lu, ( previous futurama), Davis Cross, and of coarse Jackie Chan.

I think this fault didnt apply becuz they are voicing roles this time.

What it did well:

ANIMATION! Wow! For a 2008 movie it has alot of attention to detail. You can actually see the fur on Po. Not to mention the noodles. Like idc about noodles but they dont look like ramen. They look like legit udon noodles. (I know its china :p).

Story telling: Now he is a a little story all about how Po's life got flipped turned upside down. (I should stop...copyrights and such) but ya Po, a adopted child to a goose? Duck? Idk. Who owns a noodle shop. This guys life was all about dem noodles. But it wasnt for Po, he loved the furious five to the point he had their actoon figures. Well do to a turn a events he becomes the "dragon warrior" who would stop a great evil. So far the story isnt all that unqiue. But this is where it gets good! So you know how Po is a panda? Well being a panda he cant be easier hurt by punches so his ulimate weapon was HIM. That doesnt seem all that speical but this is  kids movie and thats a good message to send them.

Lastly it had a great line. Scadushe? I cant spell it. But you know! You heard it all of 2009, right? Come on dont lie.

Where it failed:

So remember earlier when I said it wasnt an orignal story well from this reviewers mind thats a negative, but its a kids movie so ill let that go....this time.

Montages. Who doesnt love a good montage. Well I do, but for thisovie I feel like they could have done a karate kid where he has 3 unique tasks which help him fight and we see them fully. But whatever.

Lastly if I am being nit picky it failed to make a good tv show. Does that even count!? Yes. Yes it does. Dreamworks has done thks a couple times and they never work out. Honestly! Leave them movies  more !

FINAL VERDICT!

For the first kung fu panda I give it an 8.5/10. It is a cute, funny kids movie, which even adults can enjoy. I personally own both 1 and 2 and I suggest you do the same. They are good movies and rumor has it that there is third on the way.

Must on movie 10$ per movie max.

Random recommendations:

Kung fu panda 2, Monsters vs. Aliens, horton hears a who, cloudy with a chance meatballs, shrek, ice age, and toy story.

Summer movie challenge day 8

Day 8

(No careful for spoilers)

Its jurassic park. Im noy gonna be cute with this one.

I do not care for  these films. In 1993 I  guarantee people crapped their pants seeing those dinosaurs. But me in 2015, I couldnt careless.

Sure I enjoyed the jeff goldbulm chaos theory and wayne knight being a 90s fat guy but honestly I dont think these films transend generations.

It is a movie for its time.

Now you ask " are you gonna see jurassic world?!" Answer yes. This films are all about the CGI which looks great in a theater, not my 50 inch tv.

So I will see it but only in the theater. I feel it is the reveal of the dinosaur era. Heck! Pixar is making a dino movie. Which is cool. But these arent for me.

Final verdict: in 1993, 9.5/10 in 2015, 5.5/10 I didnt think it was all thay special. I was bored after the first encounter. And the ending seemed rushed. I recommend buying all 3 becuz its a collectors thing. As a solo movie.... just watch it if its on.

Summer movie challenge day 7

Day 7

(Careful for spoilers)

Hint: It relaunched the stars acting career. He is literally this guy in real life. He is a super hero. There are 3 movies. Have you got it yet? Okay last hint and you better get it this time! If he was in science class his name would be " Fe man."

Thats right! Im reviewing the marvel MCU's (marvel cinematic universe) one and only iron man 1,2,3.

Before we start in on the facts, lets get some opinions out of the way. While Don Cheddile did a great job as roaddy (idk home to spell it, and im not looking it up), Terrance Howard would have been more realistic to an active millitary officer. Don seemed more like a post active duty kinda guy. And he did beef up for ironman 3, it was odd looking for him.

Next opinion, um wtf on the maderian. Unless there is a bigger scheme... he was casted perfectly! So why make him " trevor, the failed actor." I understand it allowed to have guy pierces character to be the villian but I was so psyched!

Last opinion for the moment. Why no iron man 4?

To the facts: fact! This movie revived and revised the superhero genre. Granted incredible hulk and dark kinght came out at the same time, this film  first said: we can be funny yet serious. U like lets say the hulk or batman and robin who just made comic book films.

Fact! Before ironman marvel was on the verge of being disolved as a movie comapny. And now they own the summer blockbuster. With failed movies like ghost rider , punisher and daredevil, Marvel wasnt doing so well. What they needed to  was make every movie matter. Instead of stand alone films, they created a universe which allowed for the biggest superhero release The avengers.( over billion dollars!)

What it did well: Iron man 1) had great casting. Had excellent adaptations from the original comic. Great CGI. (Come on you thought that was a real suit.) Great comedy. Allowing tony to get his burger king american cheese burger! Giving us the end credit scene.

Iron man 2) once again great casting! Okay CGI. The suits seemed more animated this go around but still looked good.
Having his moblie suit.

Inventing a new element. ( im no scientists but can you create a new element?, if not, TONY STARK did it! " well im not tony stark..." (iron man 1 quote).

Sam jackson in the film. Scarlett johanson looking smoking hot and kicking butt!

The congress scene if congressional meetings were this back and forth, id subscirbe to C-span. And am I the only one who wanted to punch that senator? No well ( spoiler!!!!!!) He works for hydra.

Ironman 3) using the most iconic villian of ironman. Having gwenth paltrow (no idea how to spell things guys) in a sports bra and actually matter to the story.

Having a cameo from the first film. The 1990s! All those suits! (Bring on the house party!)

Referencing the avengers.
The dora watch.

Iron patriot. (wait thats bad, and ill say why, later).

The airplane scene was real!

This is for all movies. The ironman song (black sabbath). The ACDC songs and T-shirts. The suits. Casting RDJ! Jon faveru.

Where it failed JEFF BRIDGES. Ugh. Im sorry this is opinion but I do not care for his work, honestly this is the only thing I like him in. And I didnt know it was him till after I checked after the showing.
But that aside.... um claiming you are going to have a sequel? Guys, dont count your chickens before they hatch. Just put him in the suit now, he isnt coming back anyways.

Ironman 2, picking your villian. Not the most iconic villain. Sure the story was told well enough to make us care but honestly whiplash (micky roake) is not famous to nonfans. Which unfortunately is the moviemakers job, to appeal to a new comer.

Ironman 3. Okay another opinion. I do not care for mark 42 , im sorry but that was one ugly suit. Now I dig the automatic armor but we saw that in avengers with his classic hot rod red and gold.

The plot twist. I understand why it was done but OMG that pissed alot of people off.

Not having jon faveru (happy) as director.

Not having justin hammer return. He was super funny in ironman 2. Bring him back as a consultant of A.I.M or something.

Final verdict: for this I will review each movie then as a trilogy.

Ironman,  8.5/10  A great origin story. Brought superheros into the public eye. This is a must watch and own if you are a comic fan.

Ironman 2, 8.45/10 why so many decimals? Well here is the thing it is jist as good as ironman but its all about what your feel like that day. Ironman 1 and 2 almost equal. Two unique stories follwing one great character.

Ironman 3, 8/10 idk but this movie just wasnt as good. There were more shocl value scenes in this film then anything. But over all still great!

As a trilogy (which is tech. Not) 8.5/10 it fun for everyone, even those who dont know the character. There will be laughs, excitment, and fear all in a 6hr period of awesomeness. I recommend you but all 3 for 10$ each at the most. Oh! Throw in avengers as well cuz thats literally "ironman 2.5"

Random recommendation! Other marvel films to check out:

Captain american 2, the incredible hulk, fantastic four (2000s version) spiderman (all) amazing spiderman 1 and 2, lastly blade trilogy.

Summer movie challenge day 6

Day 6

(no careful for spoilers, its a cult classic)

Today we venture into one of the most popular movies from the director who loves the N-word and being In his own films. Its involes 2 men with a gift for Gab. What is it? Why its pulp fiction.

Lets get this out of the way. If you dont know at least one! Actor from this film, then you have never seen a movie before this. And lucky you that this is your first.
To name a few, we have sam jackson, bruce willis, john travolta, uma thurman, ving rhames, phil lamar just to name a few.

1994 was quite the year wasnt it? We had, well, ummm, not alot comes to mind... but hey we got pulp fiction so I guess we can call it a win!

Sorta summary the store of Jules and Vincent two gangstas doing the bidding of wallace. They do the job but with a minor gun fire sends them into turmoil. (Thats all I got, yoy cant summerize this)

Much like StarWars this film has been  parodied/ homaged too in multiple media, some even directed towards kids. Space jam pays homage by both playing the iconic opening title card song as well as reenacting the hitmans first kill.
A more modern parody would be community. In community abed wants to stop pretending his world is a movie but his friends endulge him by reenacting pulp fiction for him. His friends get him the fame "golden breifcase" which to his suprsie was filled with a light bulb. Kind of a kill joy. 

Oh! Now I remembered 1994 was when O.J. simpson killed that guy and his wife. Wait why bring that up? Hhmm idk fun facts.....Back to pulp fiction.

Where it successed:
"Dont let the B!Tch O.D.!" This movie is iconic becuase of its quotes and its ....odd....scenes. Take the dance scene. Iconic! But so awkward. And who can forget the opening with sam jackson and travolta riding in the car. "Do you know what they call a 1/4 pounder in france?" A royal with cheese."

THE CREEPIEST Christopher walken speech ever. Why is this good? Well are you gonna touch that watch? Ik im not! I did like how tarantino connected at least two scenes in this movie sequentially. The introduction of the gold watch and then why it may be inportant to butch(bruce's characters).

Bruce willis killing dudes, classic bruce willis right there. Ving rhames having his face hidden was giving wallace a mysterious vibe. Other then those who knew ving, it was a mystery, the man behind the band aid.

Bondage before fifty shades. This isnt a positive but its a success becuz they didnt sexualize it as a good thing or promote it. So points.

I Like the use of a katata. Tarantino loves his japanese weapons and this is before kill bill too. Maybe he was hinting at something?

Where it fails:
The jumping of time. If this were a time travel movie this wouldnt be an issue. Since its not, it just confusing intill the end. Had it not been for the awesome banter of the hitmen, the attention was lost on the audience.

Introduction of characters. The first characters introduced are acknowledged again intill practically the end of the film. Which makes their intense dialoge forgetable.

The length. Ive got an issue with anything over 2hrs unless im on the edge of my seat the whole time. Which at points this movie did!

Rape scene....

Final verdict: Its on netflix so my recommendation is to watch it before its gone. While I did not hate this movie, I wasnt attached the whole time that is why I give it a high 7.5/10. There was just to much to remember while new characters were being introduced and it lost my attention.

I also wanted more sam jackson! The back and forth Gab was pure awesomeness. The movie needed to be just those two. Heck those two just talking for an hour would have ruled. But no we dont get that movie. Honestly, I dont know who the true star was of the film, maybe no one.

Final point, once it leaves netflix I suggest you buy it for 5-10$ its not so great you should fork out 20$ but it is a must own movie in your collection.
