War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
GET A LIFE..
...to all those reviewers that gave this a bad review and just enjoy a movie for what it is. The acting was amazing. I could easily empathize with the apes and Woody was fantastic as always. The guy made you want to hate him so much I couldn't wait to see how this was going to end. It was somewhat anticlimactic but enjoyable all the same. The poetic justice at the end of the movie was most welcomed. My only critical comment is that I would have like to have someone survive at the end. I don't want to give away a spoiler. The CGI was excellent and the makeup on the apes was incredibly realistic. The shooting locations were also quite the spectacle. From now on I need to take all the 1's with a grain of salt.
Franklin (2024)
Snoozfest...
...definition: "an event, experience, etc. That is extremely boring." I have to apologize to those who suffered through because I only watched a little bit of the first episode before falling asleep and later could not summon up the energy to go back to it.
SPOILER ALERT: I thought the scene where all the French commoners were in the street thanking Franklin for discovering electricity was a little silly. When Franklin visited France to request their help with the war I don't believe the use of electricity was wide spread in French people's homes. It wasn't until the late 19th century until use of electricity was widespread. Not sure why everyone was cheering like they had electric appliances.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Bad time to quit drinking.
If you're a student of the metaphysical and enjoy movies that are cerebral and preach then this is the movie for you. The people that gave this a good review are probably trying to justify the time they invested and money spent going to the the theater. I did not expect this movie to be linear but there seemed to be so many different aspects that it was almost impossible to assimilate where it was heading. It's somewhat anticlimactic and takes forever to get there. There were many parts that could have been left on cutting room floor. I gave this a two because I love Michelle Yeoh (have seen all her movies) and she deserves best actress for doing an amazing job. The acting in general was good and somewhat helped to redeem watching.
