The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Failing in more ways than one...
This movie is painful to watch.
The special effects are decent, but everything else is an absolute mess. The first half of the movie is a series of cringeworthy jokes and atrocious dialog. Once the action picks up, it doesn't get much better because of how campy and cheesy the action really is.
There is a big final battle at the end, but even that's pretty disappointing.
At one point, a Yeti throws a dude through another Yeti's arms, simulating a goal.
This movie is bad... Really bad.
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
An all-star cast wasted on a mediocre script
Considering the amazing amount of talented actors involved in this movie I expected a lot more than what this film provided.
There were comedic moments but not many laugh out loud ones. The 5 great warriors were very poorly utilized and not given nearly enough screen time, It was pretty lame that they hired great voice talent and followed up by giving them all only a couple of lines.
There were 3 great actions scenes but the ending was so anti-climactic that none of them really saved the worth of the movie. The main villain Tai Lung and the story that surrounded him was interesting but once again poorly utilized, especially since the final fight of the movie was completely worthless.
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Character Driven Comedy
This Movie had absolutely no plot, it didn't seem to be going anywhere but I didn't mind that very much as I was entertained for most of the movie by the quirky characters who provided enough funny moments to keep me from losing interest. This Movie did feel a little bit like 3 random episodes from a teen drama/comedy slapped together to make a movie but it was very well done and the actors did an amazing job of portraying their Characters.
A warning though, this movie is not for everyone and some people may hate it completely and not find any of the jokes funny, others may love it and hold it as one of their Favorites. I stand somewhere in between, I liked this movie to some Extent but I don't think that it can be watched more than once.
