Shadiac1985

I can't exactly say that I hated Deadpool, but I just can't say I liked this movie either. The thing is, it has pretty neat visuals and fighting scene effects, but at the same time the whole story is hackneyed, the way it's being told is as if the main character was 10 years old or something, and bringing up comic book humor into film was a really bad idea. Why would you CGI Deadpool's face? Wasn't him wearing a mask enough? I dunno, all of this feels too overreacted, as if the movie itself was a big fan service for some Marvel audience or something.

This movie tries real hard to come off as a decent mob flick, but almost misses its point. One major problem is casting an actor like Johnny Depp to play a mobster. Another is the blatant inaccuracy of the portrayed 1970s and 1980s Boston life. I won't debate on either because I think it's rather a case of personal appreciation, just mentioning that taken aside, these are two problems worsening the overall enjoyability of this film. What struck me completely, though, is how it takes its viewers for complete idiots. First, they're showing us a cartoon-cardboard cutout "cop" supposedly too soft on Bulger, who ends up torn apart between two worlds. The guy, however, is a total goof, as to wonder how he even managed to get that job. He has 0 way of talking to criminals, he treats Bulger like some grand persona (translating it to "family" by the numbwitted scriptwriters), then he ends up being screwed (wow, what a surprise!). Then there's that scene where Depp asks his partner how he cooked up the chicken, and even though the guy first says "it's a secret", he ends up revealing it and then Depp makes a scene. The whole thing is laughable at best. I mean, only a moron would be intimidated by words like "you just sold me your secret, so you're unreliable". LMFAO. This guy is "friends" with Depp's character, that's one thing, another is he can actually stand up for himself and call Depp a diffamator. He doesn't He just sits there with a stupid facial expression. Depp then proceeds upstairs and starts hitting on the idiot's wife for some reason, and again, she just takes it. C'mon, have you no balls? Or is Bulger supposed to be portrayed as intimidating at this point in the film? Because I didn't see him evolve like this a single bit even since his obnoxious peanuts remark. So yeah, this movie may have been an okay addition to something Godfather-like, instead, it puts too much emphasis on something that's never there, misses the point and come off **** the viewer's brain. No clue how it ever gotten such a high score...

What an awful awful Star Wars flick. In fact, it looks and feels like a remake of the first film rather than something fresh and new. We got a dude who just figured out he doesn't want to be a soldier (after years of training and practice right when his first mission - surprise! - turns out to go kill some innocent people), an Anakin/Luke girl hybrid who, instead of being discovered and raised to be strong with the Force (at least an eary green creature could've been somehow involved), just, well, figures it out eventually. And apparently she knows how to fly the Millennium Falcon even though she never left the planet she was told on to "wait" for... Luke? Okay, Han and Chewie do manage to make a spectacular entrance and to remain genuine in this film. Leia is there just because, and the droid "crew" are clearly made fun of by a single rolling ball model pretty much able to replace both of them. Some Resistance, huh? Anyway, the biggest, the ugliest and the most obnoxious problem with "The Force Awakens" is Kylo Ren. I'm not kidding! He's meant - at least the way I thought it started out - to be an intimidating yet somewhat still humane villain looking for his ways to accept the Dark Side (Anakin from Ep. III, anyone?)... except all he really does is parody Darth Vader from later movies until he removes his mask, at which point he just starts looking like Severus Snape very unsure of himself. Um... what the flying heck?! This guy can't even manage his acting in this one, how can he "be one with the Force"? In fact, what unbright leader ever thought of putting him on the job ordering the whole stormtrooper army around? Seriously, there wasn't ONE SINGLE scene I didn't find myself laughing at him without his mask on. Most ridiculous villain ever! You have to see the movie just to see Kylo say "pphhlease?" at the end. Aw god. So yeah, spoonfed cameos of old actors (in both senses), nothing explained, good visuals, musical score, lots of plotholes and sloppy acting. Oh J.J., you can blame it all on Disney. We'd forgive you.

This movie shouldn't exist. It creates a rip in the space-time continuum of filmmaking. Because of this, it cannot be rated either. There is no rating score anywhere in the world for "The Room", if someone was to actually give it a number out of ten, it would be "∞".

My problem with "Ant-Man" isn't that it's a Marvel film or that it has a teenage-acceptable rating. My major problem with this film lies in its straightforwardness. It passes on too much time explaining the basic things (like how Hank can't get along with his daughter) and too little time explaining the supernatural things (like how he can freaking communicate with ants, or how he build a shrinking suit using 1980s army gear). I mean at first it shows us some dude turning into a wad of red goo in the fraction of a second, then we're expected to laugh at main character's comebacks a la Adam Sandler, and finally there is a 10 feet train and a 5 feet ant lying around where the hero fought some idiot who has millions yet he doesn't mind doing generic villain acting in a suit that looks like Power Rangers upgrade... and in between, Scott tries to kiss the girl. Is that a family flick? Is that a superhero flick with occasional blood and gore? Is that a sitcom? Nope. Just "Ant-Man". That's what you get when you blend them in together. Though rest assured, Marvel fans - it didn't ruin the franchise.

Okay, first of all: this movie is NOT worse than the 2005 garbage. It's only a slightest better (keep reading why), but NOT worse than the utter attempt to show flash Jessica Alba's curves or Chris Evan's pectorals. This is rather your typical teenage + superpowers = outsider recipe. So they're a group of wonderkids working on some NASA project, one of them is a ****, so you know he's going to be the bad guy. At least you know where he's coming from and what interest he will have to fight the team. After some experiment goes haywire and they get their powers is a somewhat still appropriate way (at least we know why they did what they did and how each of them became what they became). Then some government routine ensues (both films compare here, pretty much), and we end up with the big fight. Notice that the way the ending is showcased, you don't get the impression that they're showing you a suave, a fashion model, a nerd and a wrestling champion getting together because shut up. Rather they're still willing to be the team they were, only their vocation now changes. So in all I'm surprised to see people say this one **** more than the one from 10 years ago. It seriously didn't. Were the 2005 garbage never produced, it would've probably ended up worse. But at least (the keyword here) they tried. At least.

What I don't get is why so many people give it a negative score only because it doesn't look or feel like the 1987 movie? So what? A reboot of the franchise is not a remake, these are two different things. When the franchise gets rebooted, it borrows an only theme but brings it into the actual setting. Watch the 1958 "The Thing" and Carpenter's movie. That's how you do a reboot. Now watch the 2011 garbage and that's how you do a bad remake. See the difference? This movie is more kid-friendly than the 1987 flick. So what? You'll get to see all the same basic plots: a good cop gets turned into a cyborg, he has his doctor assistant, a big corporate meanie, a caring co-worker, a former wife and kid... But, unlike the straight-to-the-point 1987 flick, this one also shows us how simple men are torn between following orders and being human. This movie seriously doesn't deserve such low scores, it's better that the remake of "Judge Dredd" (and I mean, really better!) plus it ends on a good note of Murphey reuniting with his family, unlike the dystopian 1987 flick where he ends up accepting he's a cyborg or something. And by the way - an outstanding performance by both Kinnaman and Keaton. Was really worth it.
