Rush Hour 2
Video Clip Your Review I think that this movie may actually be a little better than the original. I don't really like to compare these movies to Lethal Weapon but this is the modern day version of Lethal Weapon. I think that the best thing in this movie is the realistic action and Chris Tucker's comedy. I think that the downer in this movie is Jackie Chan's comedy. Besides that I think that the lack of blood and the good plot is what makes this an instant action classic.
American Outlaws
Video Clip Your Review I thought that this movie was pretty good even though it seems pretty simple. I thought that it stayed within itself very well. It could have got out of hand with some crazy gun scenes that are really rediculous, but it didn't. I am glad that the girl did not get too involved because that could have really ruined the movie. I thought that Colin Farrell was excellent and this was a good role for him. A little death but not too much.
Bad Company
Video Clip Your Review
I thought that this movie was a little more action and a little less comedy than I thought that it would be. I thought that the action was realistic and Rock does a good job of playing a couple of different roles. The only real problem with this movie is its lack of originality. After movies such as Rush Hour and 48 Hours this movie seems to lack a little spunk. The good thing about this movie is that it is a little more suspenseful and complicated than some of the other movies like this one.
Star Wars: Episode II
Your Review
I thought that this movie was a good throwback to the original three Star Wars movies. I think that Part One was a little too far back to have to much of a tie in between the older movies and the newer ones. The love story in this movie is not very good and it is not very believable. I thought that you see hints of the darkside from Anaken, but you also see many good sides of him. I believe that it will be the need for power or Anakens uncontrollable anger that leads him to turn to the darkside. This movie has good action and a good balanced amount of plots intertwining. George Lucas is back on the right track.
Men in Black
Video Clip Your Review I saw this movie in the movie theater three times and I don't know why. It is one of those movie that you can watch over and over but it is not very good. It is a little funny, not really scary, not really dramatic but entertaining. Will Smith plays a very good role and his partner Tommy Lee Jones contrasts him well. Some of the aliens are funny and unique but the overall story is not a very detailed story. Overall Rating: 7.2
Back to the Future III
Video Clip Your Review
I thought this was definitely the worst of the three back to the future movies. Something about going back in time was just not that cool. Especially because it was too far back to even worry about relatives. I think they went a little too far with this one. They should have stopped at two. I thought the movie was too simple and showed a time machine in a time where there could never have been something like that. Not like in 1955 when the creator of the time machine was already working on the components of it. Overall Rating: 6.7
Gladiator
Your Review This was a masterpiece of Roman times. Everything looked so real and the story was strong and bold. I thought that Russell Crowe was the perfect man to play this role. His voice fit the role and mood perfectly. This movie lets you root for the underdog and does not completely have the perfect happy ending. The only thing wrong with this movie is that it is long and a little bit slow at times. There are some classic lines and scenes and the langueage is beautiful even though it is English. Overall Rating: 9.4
Charlie's Angels
Your Review
I thought that this movie was pretty bad. I thought that the girls that they got were not very athletic and in this movie most of the girls were not very sexy. I thought that the plot of the movie was almost a joke and even though they tried to throw in a couple of twists the movie just ends and you are sort of wondering why this mission was important at all. It is sort of like watching someone steal a shoe and making a movie about it. I thought the casting with this movie was just as bad as the movie. Overall Rating: 3.9
Demolition Man
Video Clip Your Review The thing about having an actor who usually plays a good guy play a bad guy is usually a pretty good idea. This keeps the person watching and almost rooting for the bad guy as much as they root for the good guy. In this case Wesley Snipes is the bad guy and he is the perfect bad guy for you to root for. The movie is okay but with a lot of good action scenes and even though it takes place in the future the action stays pretty modern day. Overall Rating: 6.3
