Summer Movies

Yoikes. It's been too long, hasn't it? <.< Well, I'm not dead. I'm here with another bloggity blog. A special bloggity blog, actually!! Today I has a triple-movie-review-featurette for you, my two or three readers!! Let's start with X-Men Origins Wolveriene:
It was okay. A little corny, but it tied everything up nicely. I liked it better then X3 (which isn't saying a lot) but it definitely wasn't as good as X1 or 2. It had a completely different feel to it. Kinda goofy but you could tell the movie was trying to take itself seriously.

I didn't like how {spoilers} his girlfriend just pretended to die and came back at the end. It just added pointless drama to the story. Why does Wolverine still hate his brother after he found out that he didn't actually kill her? Ugh.. The whole thing was completely pointless. {end spoilers} And the special effects were lacking, as well. It was fun, though. Some pretty cool action scenes.

All in all, I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

Star Trek was amazing. Had a different feel to it then the old Trek movies, but it still maintained some of the elements. There were a lot of small references to the show. It was kinda weird how {spoilers} it was set in like, an alternate reality. But it works, because now it doesn't interfere with the Original series's storyline. The hardcore trekkies are still happy. {end spoilers} Abrams really walked a fine line between tribute and complete reinvention. I applaud him for it.

All in all I'd give this movie 5 outta 5 starz.

Finally we have Terminator.

This movie was okay. Kiiiind of a disapointment. Not as good as the first or second, but I'd say it beats the third. I liked the first Terminator the best because it had a good story and it was kind of a horror. Salvation is all action. Good action, but still..

I'd give this movie a er uh.. 3 outta 5 stars. A respectable score.

Quick Lil' Rant on Blu Ray


Blu Ray:
  • It's expensive
  • It's not half as big of a jump as DVD was from VHS
  • It's on PS3. >=\
  • It's higher def. Big deal. What are we? Eye doctors?
  • It's just an excuse to resell all teh old vids again
It is a rich man's privilege and I refuse to support it!!
