Dororo (2007)
Strange movie to an average viewer
I really did enjoy this movie, but i got bored at many parts and the subtitles were difficult to read. I understand there are a lot of themes following Japanese culture but it all went over my head as an average American viewer. I really enjoyed the fight scenes but i feel there should have been more. He's supposed to fight 48 demons but we see under 10. The movie seems to awkwardly transition what its primarily following a lot. I felt that the first and second half of the film were two different movies. For how long this title was there should have been many more fight scenes and less dialogue. Lastly, i hate CGI but the way this film used it was pretty good, there were some scenes in which it was downright pathetic, like the red and blue dog. But some scenes it was magnificent, the flower monster was crazy. I liked how crazy and over-the-top the movie was, i really enjoyed most of the fights. But i hated the drawn out scenes and lack of battles. It was just okay to me.
Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
Surprisingly Good!
My expectations for this movie were not very high, i expected it to be even worse than the incredibly disappointing third movie in the series. However it decided to go back to the original three killers from the first movie and they did a great job in my opinion! Although the makeup and prosthetics weren't AS good as the first movie the three brothers looked great. The kills were brutal and the effects of them were done well. The acting is pretty atrocious, but that adds to the appeal, it's bad in a way that it's funny so you're not bored when it's just the characters and no action. When the characters die it's sad at some points but relieving at others. Some of the female characters are absolutely awful, while the males are likable for the most part. The movie made some awesome innovations with what they did for their kill scenes and explaining the origins of the three brothers. The lesbian sex scenes are done one time too many and get a bit annoying, it feels like the makers were relying on these scenes to make the film appealing. All in all, i thought this movie was immensely entertaining and as a fan of the movies it redeems the series from the third installment and just rocks. I like it more than the third and just as much as the second and first. Give it a watch when you want to see an entertaining, violent, and just awesome movie.
