Dear White People (2014)
One of the Worst Movies Ever
I didn't even finish the movie.
I thought I would give it a chance. I wish I never watched 1 hour of this movie.
First off, it is not funny whatsoever. The dialogue is horrendous, it's really just reference after reference - Exposition after Exposition. The characters are flat. The plot is silly.
The main character is just straight up confusing and unlikeable.
Also, this movie is very racist...against Black people. If a White person would've made this movie, it would have been up there with Birth of a Nation.
Who hyped this movie and thought it was good? It's bad. Very bad. Nothing about this movie is smart, nothing about this movie is funny, nothing about this movie is political and nothing about this movie is Black besides the person who made it and the characters in it.
Boyhood (2014)
A movie with no story, drama with no drama.
Potential spoilers This movie is not worth watching. The method of this making this movie seems avant-garde and above it all, but when you, the viewer, actually watch the movie you will barely care this movie was shot over 12 years and want to get down to the story and characters.
This movie has no story and the characters comes out of a Lifetime movie or a teen novel.
Boy grows up in a single mother home with an annoying sister and a mother that takes abuse. His father is the cool dad. He goes through a string of abusive step-dads. The boy becomes socially awkward and brooding.
You will never know why the boy's mom and dad broke up. You will be introduced to a string of characters that will only last for 10 minutes but are supposed to have a major impact. You never know any of the motivations for any character besides the mother and son. Even then, you'll probably won't care.
People will like this movie for the novelty of it and the nostalgia. There are a lot of period signifiers in the movie. Like songs, devices, elections. It will take you back if you are between the ages of 18 to 24.
But when it comes to things that makes a movie...which is story and characters, it falls short.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Horrible Movie
This movie is horrible. If anybody likes this movie, they are just movie fans and not Batman fans. There's no way in hell Batman leaves Gotham for 8 years and walks around with a limp so bad that some cat burglar kicks his cane and he crumples to the floor.
Batman does not get played by some cat burglar. He doesn't get played period. You can't tell me, that Batman falls for Selina Kyle when he first sees her and then allows himself to lose all his money because of her, his company is taken from him because of her, he get his back broken because of her, she attempts to steal his mother's necklace... and he comes back after all that, asks for her help, then to runaway with her?
Never would've happened in a Batman story.
The audio sucked as usual with Nolan's Batman movies.
The characters was ass. Selina Kyle doesn't have a back-story, she reminds me of some stupid hipster college chick who thinks the world is so shitty that she can do what she wants and justify it as "justice" because she is broke . And Anne Hathaway sounded cliché and cheesy like most female action movie dialog.
Bruce likes that about her and becomes fascinated with her enough that he can forgive her for destroying his company and getting his back broken and tossed into a Middle Eastern prison...okay Nolan...
Talia Al Ghul wants to drop a nuke on Gotham...because Batman killed her father and this is her father's work...to blow up a city....James Bond much anyone.
Talia Al Ghul was Bruce's lover in the comics.
Also Ras Al Ghul never gets killed by Batman but okay.
Bane was better than the Batman and Robin one but seriously...they made him a grunt again. Bane isn't a grunt, he is a cold calculating criminal mastermind who beat Batman. That was Bane's entire objective, to beat Batman and take over the underworld. Not be some lackey for Talia Al Ghul
Oh and that "Robin" who finds out Bruce is Batman...how does he do that? Are you kidding me? " You seem so similar to me, you must be Batman."
Oh and lets talk about the "time". I get this is a movie and it's already 3 hours long because Nolan likes to just drag things out.
But come on man. Bruce is stuck in a Middle Eastern prison with a broken back. A Bomb is supposed to go off in 23 days. He has Bruce get his back healed by using some rope, he does some push ups and sit ups and he gets out the Cave on his 3rd attempt.
By then, The bomb supposed to go off in a day. So he shows up out of nowhere.
So nobody knows how long Gotham has been under Bane's rule or anything, it's just typical Hollywood "It happened this way" movie magic.
This possibly was the worst Batman story ever.
Batman is the CIA FBI NSA of Gotham, he's not just some crybaby - woe is me - character portrayed in Nolan's movies. He isn't some rich guy that just decided to become a superhero. He is a sociopath, depraved, demented guy dealing out Old Testament justice. He's not in it to become some symbol for the Everyman...that's Superman's lane. Batman doesn't deal with nukes. He deals with other psychopaths who commit crimes. Not terrorist plots because he killed someone on accident.
Batman doesn't go away for 8 years. He may not patrol but he would still be in the game. He would be watching and lurking from the shadows. He wouldn't just let his body be crippled, he wouldn't let his company die, he would've known if some terrorists were running underneath Gotham. All of this over a woman is freaking hilarious. Batman isn't a depressed character, he is a consumed demented character who wants to deal out justice, not sit in his room and cry for 8 years.
This movie was horrible. Nolan's Batman/Bruce Wayne is some poor rich bastard with vengeance complex but half the brain. Batman being fooled and played by Catwoman...some young 20 something that steals for a living is laughable. The whole nuke on Gotham was laughable. The dialog was horrible as usual.
The second movie was good because of Heath Ledger's Joker. I actually was rooting for the Joker because Batman was again... horrible character without a personality.
Now this movie was just full of lazy, ill conceived characters in ridiculous costumes with a 1970s James Bond plot.
