The Color Purple (2023)
It was mid...
I'll start off by saying I love movies and I thoroughly enjoyed the original. I've also seen my fair share of musical movies and, just like the title says, this one was mid. I don't know where these other reviews are coming from but this story lacked depth and fluidity. There was no natural flow. We were pushed from one scene to the next so fast and it jumped around way too much. The songs were jarring and everything was just so clean. It really takes you out of the story. This show or movie or whatever needed to take a breath and slow down. You have to let the audience soak in a moment and really absorb it. We were never given that opportunity. This was just a rush from one song to the next. It was just meh. Give it a go but don't expect much because you're not going to get much.
Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)
Still one of my favorite films
I enjoyed this movie when it first released and I enjoy it still. Wonderful acting and the CGI still holds up. Every character has a chance to shine with none outdoing any other. The giants are awesome and gross and everything this movie needed. Loved it.
Pig (2021)
Once I settled in it was great
Unfortunately, the biggest problem this movie has is John Wick. If that didn't exist I would have loved this movie more on my initial viewing. Nick Cage is amazing and the supporting cast does their jobs excellently. The expectation was what killed it on first viewing. I expected it to go down the John Wick road but was confused as things started to unfold. It definitely got better as I settled in and understood more. All-in-all it was a pleasant experience I'd happily do again and a fantastic movie once premise is understood.
Gekijô-ban Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Ressha-hen (2020)
It's good but messy and the exposition is strong...
Let me start by saying I think the show is good albeit it's story pacing is a bit wonky at times but overall good. The movie, on the other hand, spent way too much time trying to exposit things that we haven't seen so it seemingly didn't have to spend the time showing us in the future. It was still good but it often took me out of the moment. It also really didn't move the story forward for the main characters. Watch it but don't feel bad if you come out on the other end feeling kinda meh.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
It's Star Wars...
I didn't go in expecting anything spectacular but found the movie to be pretty good. Were there issues with the plot and some useless characters and such, yes, but the same could be said about all Star Wars movies. All in all it was entertaining and Star Warsy so I can't complain all that much. Don't read too far into this flick and enjoy the ride. It's fun.
Justice League (2017)
Meh...
Ok, I made it through the whole movie. It's not all horrible but I wouldn't blame warner bro's if they skipped the sequel. The cgi is subpar in a lot of the beginning sequences and the reshoots with Superman. All in all I'd say it has some saving graces but is dull at best. The plot seemed to have failed it the most as the actors were pretty good. It just felt incomplete. All in all not awful but not great, a solid 4. User rating: meh...
Baywatch (2017)
Takes itself waaaay too serious...
It's not a horrible movie it just takes itself waaaaay too serious. They sold it like 21 Jump Street on the beach but that, it is not. it not even Bad Boys'ish. All in all though I've seen worse and I'm not far from recommending netflixing it but don't pay money for it.
Waaay... Too.... Serious....
Jamaican Mafia (2015)
just awful!
This movie was just awful and it shows in their 24hr stream only platform. Poor acting from all involved, poor scene progression and cinematography, poor script, and poor everything else. Even with limited female nudity and it is still just awful. Not even laughably bad. This movie is so truly dreadful and such a blight on the industry that to watch it should have a surgeon general's warning because I think it may cause cancer. I made an appointment with my doctor and he sent me to a specialist just to be certain that I'm OK. Give me 3rd World Cop, Dancehall Queen, Shottas, or Belly any day over this dribble.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
