Movie Reviews

So it's officially summer movie time. I usually don't have much of a chance to watch movies in the beginning of summer season, but try to catch more movies once we get to June. Here is edition 1 of a multi-part series on Summer movies.


Wolverine
I liked it. It had cool action scenes, a believable storyline, and it ended in a way that X-Men 1 makes sense. Some people complained that it had nothing to do with the comic books. Truth be told, I don't care. I can't read, so I don't care what the comic books have to add to this story line. They introduce some cool characters with some cool tricks. They also have Gambit, which is one of my favoirte X-Men characters. I still don't understand how Wolverine and Sabretooth were brothers and mortal enemies in this movie and then in X-Men 1 Sabretooth never talks and Wolverine and him don't even know each other. Maybe an Origins movie that explains that Sabretooth also loses his memory. I would like a Professor X origins that show him starting X-men, that could be cool. A Magneto origins would be cool as well.

Star Trek:
Loved it. Best "fun movie" since Batman. It did a great job of introducing people to Star Trek who know nothing about it. Had cool action, a cool story, and some very funny parts. It was cool to see how all these classic characters came to exist on the Enterprise. I also like how they didn't dumb down the story line. They just told a cool story. Yes there is time travel and multiple planets and storylines, but if you can't keep up, you're an idiot. I think this might be the best movie this summer.

Previews I have seen:

With Michael Bat making these Transformers movies, I am always a little nervous. At any point he could make these into horrible movies. With that being said, the first one was awesome and this one looks cool. Hopefully there is more Megan Fox and robots fighting and less of that dorky kid trying to figure out that puzzle and get into the feelings and emotions of the robots.



This looks horrible. First it has Dennis Quaid, enough said It looks nothing like GI Joe cartoons or action figures. Its almost like they wrote an action movie and added GI Joe character names into it. Fail.


This looks like the hipster's new Citizen Kane. Enough said.


I hope this movie is funny. Michael Cera is hilarious. I fear that Jack Black will be the annoying Jack Black instead of the funny Jack Black.


This appears to have potential. I like Adam Sandler when he is funny and serious in the same movie (Spanglish or Punch Drunk Love). Hopefully this is good.

Lastly, I hear Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards is bad, but we'll see.
