- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayEight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane.This year's most anticipated film of the summer is finally here and Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion known as 'The Dark Knight Rises' ends with a masterpiece trilogy! I could have not said it better but I am grateful to appreciate a work of art like this and I'm proud to say this deserves #1 spot! The plot, the action, premise, performances, sound effects, camera angles, music, and depth really shows comic book films how it should be like! Lord of the Rings couldn't be champion forever so I guess it's fair to say that this trilogy is the new champion! I would also like to say that it's very sad and tragic to hear what happened to the Aurora shootings or "Batman Massacre"...My only gripe against this film is that at the end of the film, It leaves a lot of questions! But you should see it at least three times! 9.9/10
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsJared GilmanKara HaywardBruce WillisTwo 12-year-olds, who live on an island, fall in love with each other and elope into the wilderness. While people set out on a search mission, a violent storm approaching them catches their attention.I am not a Wes Anderson fan... but damn this film is great!
9.5/10 - DirectorMarc WebbStarsAndrew GarfieldEmma StoneRhys IfansAfter Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, he gains newfound, spider-like powers and ventures out to save the city from the machinations of a mysterious reptilian foe.Marc Webb's new film called 'The Amazing Spiderman' is a reboot for the Spiderman franchise... Does it exceed? YES! Critics have been calling this "disappointing and unethical" or maybe just upset because we have see this origin story before (Spiderman 2002) Well I say BULL!!! This film has what the Raimi trilogy didn't... Chemistry. The romance and development for the characters is so touching but the only thing that pisses me off is the whole "untold story" We never find out the untold story or find *SPOILER YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED* Uncle Ben's killer! So I recommend this film in 2D because it isn't a difference if you wanna pay a couple more bucks. Excellent film
8.5/10 - DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansScarlett JohanssonEarth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.This film is okay coming from a reliable critic. The 3D is visually stunning and I enjoyed it, The characters have a lot of development and I am sure so many fans will love this film. I somehow will get some hate for this but it isn't that amazing, Fanboys will disagree and call it a masterpiece but in reality... It's just another Marvel film that succeeds in the box office. The ending was very generic and felt like it was Transformers. This isn't the holy grail of films but we have been waiting for a film that unites the superheroes together and it's fine with me. 8.5/10
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsNoomi RapaceLogan Marshall-GreenMichael FassbenderFollowing clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone.This is the best space sci-fi action film since "Pandorum" I know it's not saying alot but I really liked Pandorum and adored Prometheus. People should not go into this film with high expectations, Turn your brain off for 2 hours and enjoy the *beep* Turn your brain on after this film and do not think about "Alien" or "Aliens". This film may piss off religious people but it does really send a message! Some parts were a bit cliche and really dumb and when it builds up to the suspense, it automatically kills it off! This film isn't a spin-off or a prequel... It's a prequel to a prequel that will answer your question. Can't wait for the sequel!! 8/10
- DirectorDrew GoddardStarsKristen ConnollyChris HemsworthAnna HutchisonFive college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don't go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.Do not.. I repeat, Do not think this is a typical horror slasher movie where teenagers get killed and has no plot. Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard brought us something fresh since "Scream"... I am stunned on how this movie is... Best ending I have ever seen since Inception! The film is truly a great horror flick. 7.8/10
- DirectorPhil LordChristopher MillerStarsJonah HillChanning TatumIce CubeA pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring.a very dramatic mysterious comedy featuring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill and I am impressed with Jonah's weight! He is really pulling it off! As for Channing Tatum, they both have a long career ahead of them! This film is spectacularly funny and the emotion these guys have is very awesome! Fun popcorn flick to share with the family (Only if you're family is comfortable with dick jokes). 7.7/10
- DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsChanning TatumAlex PettyferOlivia MunnA male stripper teaches a younger performer how to party, pick up women, and make easy money.Man I cannot tell how many women watched this film and I am proud and confident to say that I went into this film with low expectations and came out a new man! This was the biggest shock of 2012 so far and man who knew that a stripper film could be so..... great? 7.5/10
- DirectorRalph FiennesStarsRalph FiennesGerard ButlerBrian CoxA banished hero of Rome allies with a sworn enemy to take his revenge on the city.Surprisingly... I didn't know that Ralph Fiennes directed this film and he did! It was incredible!! a bit slow at points but amusing and it grabs your attention. 7.5/10
- DirectorAndrey ZvyagintsevStarsNadezhda MarkinaAndrey SmirnovAleksey RozinWhen a sudden illness and an unexpected reunion threaten dutiful housewife Elena's potential inheritance, she must hatch a desperate plan ...Just plain good. 7.3/10
- DirectorBarry SonnenfeldStarsWill SmithTommy Lee JonesJosh BrolinAgent J travels in time to M.I.B.'s early days in 1969 to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.Men in Black III is surprisingly fun but really forgettable! The first two were pretty memorable even though the 2nd one wasn't that successful! It still worked but this one lacked humor and originality! The ending really leaves you happy but it wasn't anything on the "wow factor" 7.2/10
- DirectorDaniel EspinosaStarsDenzel WashingtonRyan ReynoldsRobert PatrickA young CIA agent is tasked with looking after a fugitive in a safe house. But when the safe house is attacked, he finds himself on the run with his charge.This film was not how I expected it to be, The movie is a great popcorn movie if you're into action and Denzel Washington... He killed it in this movie. 7/10
