Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Best one yet.
Considering the Michael Bay movies were awful, this movie was actually very enjoyable. No big actors there just for a paycheck, and to put their name on the poster. Just a likeable cast, great action, and '90s references.
Anyone who grew up in the '90s will (or should) enjoy a lot of the references, from the music, to three bumblebee quotes. Tons of action, and any downtime often contained some surprisingly decent comedy.
Character growth is small, but meaningful, and enough story to make the action make sense.
I see a lot of negative reviews for this, and I don't get it. Maybe people just want famous names and mediocre acting, but I want likeable characters, and rad references.
The Lighthouse (2019)
Fantastically Strange nod to older films.
Everything from the aircraft ratio, to lighting, to dialogue is a great nod to older movies from the 30s.
I see a lot of confused people rating this. It's based on a true story with a lot of lore behind it. It's *supposed* too leave you wondering what exactly happened.
It's beautifully filmed, well acted/written, and the score is incredible. One of my favourite movies.
Warcraft (2016)
Awesome movie!
This movie doesn't get mentioned enough. The effects are great, Orcs and other creatures look awesome, acting is good, and overall it's a very entertaining movie.
October Faction (2020)
Different from the comics, but still good
While it definitely doesn't follow the comic series exactly, it's still quite enjoyable, and the casting for the dad is perfect.
I don't know if people are oblivious to the background the comics provide, or just like to complain, but it's not nearly as bad as most reviews say.
The Upside (2017)
Great movie, weird camera work
This movie is great. Way more uplifting than u expected.
I've watched it twice, and the camera work is distracting. It feels like someone said "it's good to move the camera a bit", and they decided 90% of the shots need to have the camera panning from people's feet, or just moving around. It's too the point where it takes away from the movie, which is unfortunate.
Cherokee Creek (2018)
Meh
Honestly, when they advertised this on social media as an "80s style horror comedy, about a bachelor party in the woods, that gets crashed by Bigfoot" I was pumped.
I watched it, and...it's not that great. There's nothing 80s about it, it's full of stale cliches, and it's just over an hour before Bigfoot starts making his very brief appearances to kill people. (Not including the "throw away" characters who were painfully obvious)
It's less horror, and more "Broken Lizard". It tries so hard to be raunchy, that it loses the "raunchy" effect, and gets old, fast.
If you want a low budget amateur comedy, that goes out of its way to add nudity, then go for it. If you want a sweet bigfoot movie, maybe pass. It kind of sucks at that.
Most of the good reviews here sound suspiciously like it was written by someone who made this movie, and one literally admits to giving it a 10 just to "make up for the bad reviews". My review has been dropped from a 3, to a 1 to counter that. lol
