The Jungle Book (2016)
Jon Favreau is only getting better
The jungle book is directed by Jon Favreau and stars Neel Sethi, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Luptia Nyong'o, and Christopher Walken. First off, I was pretty excited for this movie Because so far Disney has been doing a great job with these live action films and also i love Jon Favreau as a director. Walking out of this movie, I Loved it!! Everyone a part of this movie did an excellent job from acting,Cgi, directing, everything. The blend of real and cgi was done so well, all thanks to the fantastic director Jon Favreau. Every film he does, it gets better and better. This is his best film yet. Now Neel Sethi, this was his first ever movie and for that I thought he did a great job. There were scenes I didn't he would be able to do but I was totally wrong. Everyone did great, especially Idris Elba as the villain. Bill Murray is fantastic as always. Personally the person who blew me away was Christopher Walken. He was just amazing. Overall The jungle book is another fantastic movie by Disney and Jon Favreau is only getting better as a director. Definitely needs to be seen in a theater and I do recommend seeing it in 3D. Kids and adults will have lots of fun.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
The big fight is here or maybe not
Batman v Superman is directed by Zach Snyder and stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, and Gal Gadot. First off I'll say that I'm a huge fan of man of steel and going into the movie I was super exited( even with the bad reviews) to see how they would set up this universe. I came out of this movie loving a lot of stuff but at the same time I had lots of problems with it too. I will start off with the things I loved about it. Ben Affleck as batman as was just fantastic. I believed him as Bruce Wayne and as batman. Definitely one the best on screen batman's yet. Wonder Woman was amazing. She wasn't in the movie a lot or speak a lot but when they showed her, her character was very interesting. Her theme music was also one of the best parts of this movie. Henry Cavill was good, he's a good superman. He didn't very bring anything special but still good. Now Jesse Eisenberg, I thought he was actually a good Lex Luthor at times. At time he would go crazy for no reason which just made his performance awkward. Now the problems I had with the movie, it mostly wasn't the performances but more the story and how it was told. Zach Snyder is great director for action scenes which were amazing. Every action scene just blew me away but he doesn't know how to drive a story. The movie seemed to change pace to much and near the end the editing was very strange doesn't make it confusing but more of the question why did that? I just hope that they change the director for justice league because I don't think he's right for it anymore. One little thing is that is called dawn of justice and all that stuff went a little to fast. Overall Batman v Superman was a good action movie with every action scene blowing you away, a fantastic batman and Wonder Woman, but the movie lacks story and moves too fast. It cared more about setting up other movies than telling the one it's in. If your a fan of DC comics like me you'll enjoy the movie but will be a little disappointed in the way there going. Still check this movie in theaters, it's a great theater experience.
Zootopia (2016)
One of Disney's best movies yet
Zootopia is directed by Byron Howard, Rich Moore, and Jared Bush. It's stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba and much more great actors and actresses. First off, going into this movie I thought it was going to be a good Disney, not excepting anything special but I was completely wrong. Zootopia is one of Disney best movies yet, it has lots of depth, didn't rely on poop jokes it had a story and it focused on the story. The animation was beautiful to look at. The voice acting was fantastic by everyone. Jason Bateman was fantastic for the role perfect. The thing that I was most surprised by in this movie is the depth. There are a lot of hidden messages about our world today, what's going on and that's what makes this movie a great movie for both kids and parents. Overall zootopia was a great surprise by Disney, one of their best movies yet. Had great jokes,heart and a good story. Definitely go and check this movie in theaters.
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
The secret movie
10 cloverfield Lane is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, and John Gallagher Jr. First off, we all know that this movie came out of nowhere and they didn't very give us much about the plot. I loved going into this movie knowing nothing. I will say that I enjoyed this movie a lot but it did have small/minor problems. The acting, directing was fantastic by everyone. It was such a small cast but the tension between everyone was done great. John Goodman plays this creepy dude so great. Lots of great scenes with him but who steals the movie is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She was amazing. She has proved she can carry a whole movie and I hope she gets more roles after this. Now Dan Trachtenberg. This is was his first big time movie and he also knocked it out of the park. Also excited to see what he does next. Now the minor problems I've had with it. The first one is at times the movie slows down, only like once or twice and the other part where I think people will be split is the ending. It ends in an odd way, which some people will like and some won't. For me I was in the middle, it was an okay ending. Overall 10 Cloverfield Lane was a great thriller/mystery with fantastic performances by everyone. Every scene was shot great thanks to Trachtenberg. Only true negative would be the ending, which will leave people split. You should go see it in theaters.
Room (2015)
A mother and her child
Room is directed by Lenny Abrahamsom and stars Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. I will not describe the plot because if you no nothing going into this movie, I feel like it makes so much special. What makes this movie so special and worthy of being nominated at the Oscars is the performances by Larson and Tremblay. I've never seen such great acting by a nine year old year kid before. Brie Larson also did a fantastic job, an amazing performance that in my opinion she will win the best actress. This movie is also directed beautifully which is all thanks to Lenny Abrahamson. The only negative that wasn't very a negative for me but might be for some people is that it is a very slow and heavy movie but the great storytelling just makes you want to see what happens next. Overall Room is a fantastic story of a mother and her child in a bad situation. The performances were amazing by everyone. Definitely deserves to be in the Oscars race.
Deadpool (2016)
The wait is over
Deadpool is directed by Tim Miller and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, and Ed Skrein. First off, when they finally say their doing this movie. I was so excited for it but I was also worried how will they handle this amazing and funny character. I was 100% wrong. They made Deadpool fantastic, better than fantastic. Everything thing was done so well, the acting, action, comedy, storytelling, everything. Ryan Reynolds is truly this whole movie. He did an amazing job, born to play this role. T.J. Miller was great too, I feel like they could of used him more but he was still funny. The villain was good, nothing special just a good villain. The action scenes were fantastic, fast and surprising very funny too. The only negative I had with the movie was the plot, it's be done before and everything like that but it didn't very hurt the overall experience of this amazing move. Also some of humor didn't hit as much they probably wanted too but there's not much of that. Overall Deadpool was the movie that fans wanted for so long, had everything they promised and more. Great action and even better comedy. Even if your not a fan of Deadpool go and watch it, you will not be disappointed
Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)
Was it worth the wait?
Kung Fu Panda 3 is directed by Alesandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh. The movie stars Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, J.K. Simmons, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and many more great actors and actresses. First off, when I heard the were actually doing a third one, I was a little worried because it's been so long since the second one. In the end my worries were completely wrong and Kung Fu Panda 3 was great. The animation, acting, soundtrack was amazing and it felt great to be back in this world. Jack Black as Po is always great but this movie had a great villain also. Having J.K. Simmons as the villain was just fantastic. The theme for the villain was just as great as he was. The animation was Fantastic, best animation in the series yet. The only problems I had with the movie was that once the movie started, you know where it's going and how's it going to end but you can still have fun with the movie. Overall Kung Fu Panda 3 was another movie in this series. The animation, actions, and everything was great as before. It didn't bring anything new to the table but you can still have a lot of fun with it.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
One of Michael Bay's best movies yet
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is directed by Michael Bay and stars John Krasinski, Pablo Schreiber, James Badge Dale, and much more talented actors and actresses. First off, this is a true story and I didn't know much about this event. Now going into this movie my only concern was the director, Michael Bay. But I have say Michael Bay made a great movie with characters who have depth and action scenes that are shot well. Yes it has a few Michael Bay things like slow-mo, big explosions but he did a good job of not over using them, only using when needed. The acting was fantastic by everyone. There was not one bad person. Some characters had comedy parts and at times it worked while other times it didn't. The only major problems I had with the movie was the runtime, it felt a little too long and this was some gore in the movie that wasn't needed at. Overall 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi was a great movie with a great action and good story telling. One of Michael Bay's best movies yet.
The Big Short (2015)
Fun to watch,thanks to Adam McKay
The Big Short is directed by Adam McKay and stars Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt. First off, for a movie about banking, it would to be boring but it's the exact opposite of that. It was funny at times, they explained the big words of banking in a great way that I won't spoil and when it needed to be serious, it was serious. This was credited to the director Adam McKay. Adam McKay directed this movie is such a different and fun way, which made this movie fun to watch. He past movies were all comedies but he directed this drama great. Worthy of a nomination at the Oscars. All the acting was amazing by everyone. The two stand outs were Steve Carell who can do drama great and Christian Bale who is just always great. Overall The Big Short was a fun movie to watch thanks to the acting and Adam McKay who directed it amazing. Definitely check it out in theaters.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Star Wars is back
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is directed by J.J. Abrams and stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, and Domhnall Gleeson. First off, I won't say much about the plot because in the marketing you don't know much about, all for the good reason. It's mostly about Rey( Daisy Ridley) who's a scavenger meets up with a renegade stromtrooper( John Boyega) and from there, it's an adventure. Now the acting was a little worried because Daisy Ridley and John Boyega haven't done any big movies but I have to say they were both fantastic. John Boyage was great but Daisy Ridley stole the whole movie. Harrison Ford was amazing. He wasn't just doing the movie, he was Han Solo. Adam Driver played Kylo Ren amazing, one of the best villains in Star Wars universe yet. The action scenes were great too. The lightsaber fights seemed real and it emotion to them. Now some negatives that people might have with The Force Awakens is that it repeats a lot that happened in the first Star Wars( A new hope) but to me it didn't bother me, sometimes it stands out but I didn't care, everything was amazing it truly felt like a Star Wars movie. Overall Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a fantastic movie, had that emotion like the original Trilogy had and brought new things into. The acting, action, visuals, everything was done so well. Great job J.J. Abrams
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Quentin Taratino has done it again
The Hateful Eight is directed by Quentin Tarantino and stars Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Channing Tatum. First off, if I needed to describe this movie in one word it would be Beautiful. By that I mean the scope of this film is just breathtaking. Every wide shot is amazing to look at.Tarantino has surely made something special with this one. From the way it looks to the performances by everyone. Of course the two who stand out are Samuel L. Jackson who never disappoints in a Tarantino film and Kurt Russell who also did an amazing job. Channing Tatum did a great job too but I won't go into him because his character is a mystery. Overall The Hateful Eight is another amazing film by Tarantino with great acting and amazing cinematography. If your a fan of Tarantino, don't miss this one. The one somewhat negative not for me but for some people will the run time. It has a run time of almost three hours long.(8.1)
Creed (2015)
For the new generation
Creed is directed by Ryan Coogler and stars Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, and Tessa Thompson. First off when I first heard they were going to do a spin off of the Rocky series, I wasn't excited and I thought it was going to be horrible. I was completely wrong. Creed is up there with the first Rocky. Creed has fantastic acting, the boxing scenes were incredible. Just an amazing around. The acting was great. Michael B. Jordan played apollo creed's son so great, you believed he was his actually son. Now Sylvester Stallone. I thought they were going to show too much of him or he just wasn't going to try. I was wrong again, he was fantastic and they used him just enough, enough that you still know it's Adonis story. The boxing scenes were another amazing part of this movie. Every boxing scene was shot so well and so believable. Overall Creed was an amazing movie if your a fan of Rocky or just trying a see a great movie. A must see in the theaters.
Steve Jobs (2015)
Oscars!!
Steve jobs is directed by Danny Boyle, written by Aaron Sorkin and stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, and Seth Rogen. First off, if you don't like movies where they only talk for 2 hours, is movie isn't for you. Back to the movie, Steve Jobs was fantastic. Everything done perfect. The directing, acting, dialogue, cinematography. The dialogue was the most Impressive part of the whole movie. Every time Steve talked it was just so wow. Fassbender did an amazing job, Worthy of an Oscar nomination. Jeff Daniels too. Overall Steve Jobs was a fantastic movie, well made and Oscar worthy. See it if your a fan of Fassbender, Danny Boyle, Aaron Sorkin, or just trying to see great movie in the theaters.
Spectre (2015)
Had lot of potential
Spectre is directed by Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Crag, Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Ralph Finnes, and Dave Bautista. First off, Spectre is no where near as good as skyfall and it might actually be one Daniel Crag worst one's, it has nothing to do with him but has to do with the script. The story is all over the place and it just doesn't feel right. And with an actor like Christoph Waltz you would expect for him to be a great Bond villain but he's in the movie for like 10 minutes. He was great when he was in it .The acting was great by everyone, it's always great to see Craig as James Bond. Léa Seydoux plays the Bond girl of this movie and she's great. Now the action was fantastic, every action scene, I wish I was watching it in IMAX. All the action was clear and no bad camera work. For example the opening scene might just be the best opening to a film not just a James Bond movie. Overall Spectre was good bond film with great acting and better action but lacks story and depth like the other bond movies. Definitely see it the theater.(7.7/10)
The Martian (2015)
A comeback for Ridley Scott
The Martian was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Matt Damon,Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels,Kate Mara. First off, I've readied the book before seeing the movie so I had high hopes going into it and I have to say I was not disappointed. The Martian wasn't only a great movie but a great come back from Ridley Scott. He did a fantastic job and handled the big cast great. His last few movie had a big cast too and those movie turned out pretty bad. This wasn't the case, the acting, cinematography, everything was great. You would think a man by himself on a planet would get boring but it didn't at all. Matt Damon played the role of Mark Watney fantastic. Seeing this person surviving was so interesting and at times very funny. Just like the book there's lot humor and it works well. Jeff Daniels did a great job also, he's be doing a lot of movies this year that might get him best supporting actor. Overall was a great movie and a great comeback for amazing director Ridley Scott. Every thing was done right. If your a fan of the book or just trying to see a great book see the Martian in theaters.
The Walk (2015)
This movie needs to be seen in 3D
The walk is directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon, Ben Kingsley. First off if your afraid of heights, this movie isn't for you. Back to the movie. The Walk was amazing not just Visuals but also the acting was great by everyone. Joseph Gordon-Levit Was fantastic but it focused on him for almost the entire movie so Ben Kingsley didn't get a lot of screen time but when he did he was great. The point of seeing this movie in 3D is for the actual walk and when it came to that, it delivered. Not being afraid of heights, when that scene happened I felt it, I felt like I was all the way up there. Robert Zemeckis did that scene fantastic. He should be nominated for an Oscar. Overall The Walk was a fantastic movie with a good and great acting. Defiantly needs to be seen in 3D.
Sicario (2015)
It has "Oscars " written all over it.
Sicario is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and Jon Bernthal. First off, I will say this movie is not for everyone. The subject of the story is very dark and there's lots and lots of violent. If you can handle that,Sicario is an amazing movie. The acting was great by everyone. Josh Brolin was great, Emily Blunt was amazing as always but the person who stole the whole movie was Benicio Del Toro. It was his movie. His performance definitely needs to be nominated for an Oscar. Denis Villeneuve also should be nominated, the movie is very well directed and looks beautiful. The action scenes were incredible and very intense. Overall Sicario is an amazing drama with great acting and action. Defiantly see it if your a fan of Emily blunt or Benicio Del Toro or just trying to see a great movie
Everest (2015)
Surviving Everest
Everest is directed by Baltasar Kormákur and stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Robin Wright. First off, I saw this movie in IMAX 3D and I definitely recommend seeing it in IMAX also. Now back to movie I will start with the acting. The acting was fantastic by everyone, Josh Brolin was great as always but one person who stood out was Sam Worthington. He didn't have a big role but when he was one the screen he did great. There wasn't a lot of action but it was more intense thought out the whole movie seeing these people survive Everest. Overall Everest was great movie with fantastic acting and intensely that will keep you wondering what will happen next. See it in IMAX if you can.
Straight Outta Compton (2015)
Easily one of best movies of 2015 so far
Straight Outta Compton is directed by F. Gary Gray and stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube), Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E), and Paul Giamatti. First off,before seeing this movie I knew very little about N.W.A and their story and I have only listened to some of their songs and I have to say I loved this movie. Everything was just so great from the casting to the story telling. The acting was fantastic by everyone. The two people who stood out was O'Shea Jackson Jr. Who played Ice Cube and Jason Mitchell who played Eazy-E, both performances were amazing. Now this movie had lots of funny moments but it also had lots of serious moments. They weren't afraid to cover some of the more serious topics, like what was going on during this time. F. Gary Gray handled those moments very well. F. Gary Gray did an amazing job with this movie. The only negative thing I had was that at some parts, some scenes dragged too long and you feel the runtime (2 hours and 27 minutes) but besides that I loved it. Overall Straight Outta Compton was an amazing movie about these Artists and what they wanted to do, how they changed music forever. If your a fan of N.W.A or just want to watch a great movie, definitely check this out.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
a great blend of comedy and action
The man from U.N.C.L.E. Is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, and Alicia Vikander. The plot is About a CIA agent and a KGB operative team up together to stop a organization building nuclear weapons. First off this movie is a fun spy action movie. The acting, the dialogue, the action, the comedy, everything in this movie I enjoyed a lot. The acting was great by the whole cast but the one person who stood out was Alicia Vikander, she was great and funny when needed to be. Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer also did a great job. The action was very good and there was a lot of action but the one thing I found great throughout the whole movie was the comedy . There were lots of funny moments but once in a while there was a joke that just didn't work but overall it was very funny. Overall The man from U.N.C.L.E is a fun spy movie with great action and very funny.
Fantastic Four (2015)
huge disappointment
Fantastic four is directed by Josh Trank and stars Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell. First off there's no other way to describe this movie, this movie is horrible. The story,the pacing, the action,the writing, just everything about this movie was bad. Even the CGI at times was very awful. Now I will say that at certain times, it was very interesting but those certain scenes only lasted a few moments. The acting also was good by everyone but you can see that they were doing the best they could do in a bad movie. It wasn't there fault. Now the action... Well there's sort of no action. The trailer shows that there will be a lot of action, but the scenes in the trailer are not even in the movie. There are maybe 1 or 2 action scene in the whole movie and they don't even last that long. The biggest problem I had with the movie was the pacing. The pacing was very odd and it jumped forward in time too many times. The final battle also didn't feel right, it felt rushed like they didn't know how to finish the movie. Overall Fantastic four was a huge disappointment. It had no fun, took its self way to serious. I Definitely don't recommend seeing it in theaters.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
Best MI yet.
Mission impossible Rouge Nation is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and stars Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg. Most of the time when a series gets to its fifth movie, they ether have to reboot it some way or its just very bad but the mission impossible is not doing that, it is improving and getting better and better. Rouge nation might be the best MI movie yet, what makes it so great is that it takes parts of the other movies and puts them together. Rouge Nation adds more humor, more gadgets, more suspense, more everything. The acting was fantastic by everyone. Tom Cruise was amazing and the fact that he does all his stunts, just makes him one of the best action stars today. Simon Pegg stands out a lot in this one, they gave him more screen time, which is great because the chemistry between Cruise and Pegg is also great. The action was incredible and you could tell the actors were very doing it. Overall Rouge Nation was amazing and improved in everything. The action and acting was fantastic. Definitely needs to be seen in IMAX.
Ant-Man (2015)
Is it too late to change the name?
Ant-man is directed by Peyton Reed and stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, and Evangeline Lilly. It's about Scott Lang,(Paul Rudd)a skilled burglar who's given a second chance by Hank Pym(Michael Douglas)to get his life back together and be with his daughter. First off,Ant-man was originally supposed to be directed by Edgar Wright for a long time and than he's wasn't directing it. At that point the movie seemed to go downhill but than Peyton Reed got it and I'm glad to say the final product was amazing. The acting is fantastic by everyone. Paul Rudd played his role great, Michael Douglas was also great as always, and Michael Peña was very funny. It was great they didn't over use him. What made Ant-man amazing was the camera work when Ant-man shrieked down. Peyton Reed did an amazing job of showing how big everything is when your that small. The action was also fantastic, every action scene was shot so perfectly. There was surprising a lot humor and it worked great. Overall Ant-man was a fun superhero action movie with lots of humor, and it fits in with all the other marvel movies. Definitely worth checking out.
7 Days in Hell (2015)
A long Saturday night live sketch
7 days in hell is a fictional documentary about the longest tennis match in history. It is directed by Jake Szymanski and stars Kit Harington and Andy Samberg. First off, seeing the trailer I could this could be very funny or just very stupid. I'm glad to said that it turned out to be very funny. The acting is great, Kit Harington who is on Game Of Thrones, I didn't know if he could be funny and he played his part perfect. Andy Samberg was also great. He always plays a funny part and he's does a great job most of the time. Overall 7 days in hell was a funny fake documentary about tennis with great acting and has lots of great cameos. Defiantly worth checking out.
Terminator Genisys (2015)
an enjoyable action movie, go in with an open mind
Terminator Genisys is directed by Alan Taylor and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, and Jai Courtney. When the first trailer came out I was thinking it could be an okay movie, the more trailers were coming out, the more the movie seem to be bad. But after seeing it, I was surprised that I enjoyed the movie a lot. While the movie has lots of problems with the time line and acting, it is still a fun movie to watch. First the acting, it's okay. Arnold Schwarzenegger back as the T-800 is amazing, Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor was very good. People said she was a miscast but I didn't see that at all. Now the person who was miscast was Jai Courtney, it wasn't that he was bad but he wasn't great either. You could see some one else playing the role of Kyle Reese a lot better. Jason Clarke Also played a good John Connor. The action was over the top but still enjoyable. The biggest problem with Terminator Genisys was the time line. They try to fill in things,try to change other things, add new things but the result was very confusing. Overall Terminator Genisys was a very enjoyable action movie but it does change and add new things to the terminator series.
