Supergirl: Pilot (2015)
Better than what the haters really say
Unlike @Laura Hall-Schordje most other reviewers here are children who cries and whines whenever a TV series doesn't go as they expected. People need to loosen up and learn to enjoy a TV series. It's not supposed to be a 2hr blockbuster where you directly go into the juicy parts... TV series take time to introduce and build up the characters and along with that the storyline. At first, I actually thought that this was for girls only too but after watching it and seeing it's potential, I got into it...and as a pilot episode there's no lack of action in this one either. True it may be a bit corny at times but I think it's just part of supergirl's naive persona at this point in her life. All-in-all I think this is another great piece of the DC universe being crafted in TV series form as the others.
After Earth (2013)
Do Not!!! I repeat, do not believe the Critics! 6.5 stars
People who criticized this movie almost to the point of saying that it is unwatchable are Stupid, Self-Righteous, Pretentious Pigs!!!
Go watch this movie and decide for yourself. I'd give this movie a 6.5 because it is far from perfect but it sure does entertain and if you can put yourself in the situation that the two survivors are in and watch the movie from their perspective then I promise you, you'd say the same thing about the "CRITICS"!
This is an honest review from a regular person who watches and loves good movies, not from a critic who always thinks they can do better and over analyzes things.
Happy Feet Two (2011)
It's only for 5 yrs and below
The first thing that got my attention was why mumble was somehow un- aged. At the end of happy feet his fluff had gone up to his neck cause you could see the yellow on his chest a bit and now his fluff is back down to his waist!!! surely his fluff would've all been gone by now!! I get that mumble was a little bit slower than everybody else, It was what helped ostracize him aside from his lack of vocal ability and preference for dance, but that doesn't mean that he was a complete abnormality. It also seemed creepy that mumble had a son looking the way he was in the movie. It's like having your older brother as your own father when he eff'ed your mom before he hit puberty. It's very disturbing!
Another thing is that the story wasn't really that interesting and feels unconnected. There were funny and slightly interesting bits here and there but they were really not enough to save this one. I actually fell asleep for at least 5 mins in the middle of this movie.
We already know that this is a story about singing and dancing penguins but unlike the first one, here they just find every excuse to break into song. It's like every time the writers' would run out of things to write they decide to put in a song or two just to make the movie longer. We also get that Mumble's son would have struggled with his talents just like his father but seriously, OPERA??? OMG!!! When his son started singing, the creepiness level went through the roof for me. I covered my ears as tight as I can and "mumbled" till he finished singing.
I could go all day long about how bad this film is but I think I've said enough.
So, unless you have to take your 5 yr old kid to see this movie... DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME... I PROMISE YOU YOU'LL REGRET IT!
The Tourist (2010)
Simply Entertaining
OK. Before watching this you have to throw out all preconceptions you might have about this movie out the door. Seriously!
I have to agree it is not the best out there but i was not bored at all... I'd probably hate to admit it here seeing as to all the negative reviews i've seen here but DAMN! was i entertained. Depp and Jolie's characters although a bit dull, was portrayed as they should be. The two had quite a unique chemistry. Apart they're somewhat mysteriously dull but together they are quite entertaining.
I just feel sorry for those who were really looking forward to some big explosions and lots of gun fights... but if you read the storyline ahead here on IMDb and as i've said thrown your preconceptions out before watching, i'm sure you wouldn't have been disappointed as much.
At the early stages of the movie you'd have a pretty good idea of the characters' traits and background... and if you'd just pay attention you'd soon see why these characters had such commitment to the things they did.
SPOILER ALERT!!! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "The ending would take you back to the beginning and that's where you realize the genius...if you know how to put two and two together and think if it were you, what would you have done?" = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I'm sure this movie is not for everyone, but it is at least for everyone that gets it...after all it would not have been nominated for 3 Golden Globes.
Oh and if you're planning to, please watch it again and put those brain cells to work before you write your review.
Overall, this movie is surely above average and i'd recommend it to anyone who'd like to relax and be entertained after a hard day's work.
