12 Years a Slave Review

So taking a American history class teacher offers extra credit if go see it at the foreign film thing. So here we are; though the weird thing is the class is American history after 1865 slavery was before 1865 so bit odd but hey never say no to extra credit am i right.

12 years a slave is a awesome movie. 12 Years a slave takes place in 1840 something to 1850 something but its about the main guy who the only things i have seen him in was 2012 and Serenity. So on that level he is about average but let me tell you he was awesome in this movie. He’s a violin star he goes to places and plays his violin for people to do the waltz well he gets betrayed and sold into slavery and we have our movie.

This movie is a hard watch for anybody. But really a hard watch for any American or anybody. When watch movie you go somewhere else in time or another world but here this is world that actually existed. Defiantly a dark time in our history.

The cast was awesome. The slave girl don’t know her name but she did a awesome job. But really i think the best one was Michael Fassbender he was so good in this movie. When a villain can make me hate you during the movie then he did a great job. Similar to the guy who plays Joffrey they play characters who are nothing like themselves and just nail their role. Also Benedict Cumberbatch was in movie. One thing made me mad was not about the movie but before you had person for black history month she said Cumberbatch’s name wrong i was like NO don’t you dare mis say his name. But he nailed a southern accent which i found very interesting. Cause you all seen Sherlock or even his latest movies of the hobbit and star trek he has that British accents just shows me the range he has of a actor. Also Brad Pitt was in movie and he did good as well.

In end 12 Years a slave was a awesome movie. Had great cast, really cast is what made the movie, also how powerfully emotional this movie can make you feel that a world like this actually existed. And 12 years a Slave is Legendary.

The Wolf of Wall Street Review

The movie finally decided to come to my local theater. I was going to see the lone survivor but saw this was going be on so won’t being seeing lone survivor but heres my review of the wolf of wall street.

The wolf of wall street is about guy name Jordan working in wall street trying to find that American dream. He gets fired works for small time stock brokers where he gets 50% of the profits. And that’s the movie. One of things i like he does he starts by getting people who could sale anything. For instance a recruitment thing from the beginning was sell me this pen. Really he is a great salesman. Really if im comparing him to is Walter White from Breaking Bad. The guy starts out this ok guy from good family eventually turning to dark person. Leonardo i believe this is best acting i have seen in movie. I used not be a big fan of him but ever since inception i like what he has done. Also you have Jonnah Hill. Jonah hill reminds me of his role in moneyball being the right hand man of brad Pitt this time Leo. Also there is a lot of nudity in movie if your not a fan of nudity in a movie this is probably not the movie for you. But lucky for me Game of Thrones has trained me to watch and not care about it. Also its a 3 hour movie long but still awesome.

But really there’s bunch of good cameo actors. Like you have Shane from the walking dead, the mother from how i met your mother, and also have iron mans body guard. Also we have Matthew McConaughey in movie. Hes in it but really hes only in the movie for 10 minutes. But he was awesome in the movie as well.

In end this was a great movie, had great comedy, great comedy, just awesome characters. And the Wolf on Wall Street is Legendary.

The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug Review

Merry late Christmas. I actually saw this movie twice once in 3d and once standard so here is my review of the hobbit the desolation of smaug.

This movie was awesome. First playing off of the last movie of the trilogy them trying to get  to the lonely mountain. Well nothing really goes right for the company. They lose their wizard for he’s off trying to save the world, they get captured by elves, and they wake up a dragon just a bad day. Movie started out with non stop action in it. First they were running through woods then they were fighting spiders. Talk about the spiders this is where Bilbo was awesome at. Course he has a invisibility cheat code and took down the spiders. There was moment where a spider almost put the ring on and he murder the crap out of it saying mine. The addiction has begun. But what this movie really highlighted at was that everybody has their ring in their life’s. For thorian it was the Arkan Stone the thing with can become the king of the dwarfs. You really felt a Aaragon syndrome which Thorin must become the king we need. Also we get the elves in Mirkiwood. These Elf’s are not like the High Elves in Rivendell. These are the greedy elves who don’t care anything about the world except 2. Legolas the introduction of Legolas since hes a elf he can make a appearance in the Hobbit. But turns out hes a prince that’s cool but really he will always be a prince since his father will never die. But i could defiantly tell a difference between the LOTR Legolas and the Hobbit one. In Hobbit one he is a lot more like his father cold about the world not caring just caring about his people. But Lilly or whatever her character name was saying are we not part of this world when did we allow evil to become more powerful than us. I’m expecting a ending to her character next movie to make a big dramatic change for his transition into the LOTR. Also we had Gandalf off seeing what the Necromancer is up to. But turns out he is none other than Sauron. Which looks like the army of orcs are marching toward the lonely mountain.

Some things i didn’t like in the movie. The 2nd time i saw the Hobbit i watched it in 3d i didn’t like the way it looked. It felt more like real life which was cool but when i watch a movie with elf’s, dwarfs, and dragons I’m not expecting it to be real. Also the 3d i don’t like 3d not a fan. Usually over priced that doesn’t have much 3d. I felt it could of been improved if Smaug had flown out of the screen or shot fire at the audience. How do you have a dragon in a movie and not do either of those things. Also this is just me complaining but i wish Gandalf was in the movie more. He goes off somewhere at the beginning of the movie and you saw him maybe 4 more times. So hated that.

Now tell you what i loved about the movie. Just to be clear i had complaints about the movie but that was more about the 3d of the movie, and the camera work nothing actually wrong with the movie. Now one of the best parts of the movie was the Barrow scene. All dwarfs escape the orcs by hiding in barrows and floating down river while trying to get away from orcs and elves. Hilarious, had Legolas being a boss. But also had Smaug the dragon. Who is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch which is awesome who just frankly has a sexy voice. He kills it as Smaug. I was laughing cause its first time since the series 2 finale of Sherlock that they have been together both Sherlock and Watson. But smaug was cool. Course 1 thing i don’t understand is why dragons covet gold or sleep in gold. Dragons are suppose to be these intelligent creatures. But they go after Gold because its shiny just shows they have the attention span of a 6 year old.

In end Hobbit 2 was awesome. Had a great cast, good sequel to last year movie. And something been looking forward to saying since i reviewed Man of Steel of a movie this year. The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug is Legendary.

Didn’t think we get another one this year for 2013 movies. Looking forward to the third hobbit. Looking to see how they set it up to the fellowship of the ring. You can call the desolation of smaug the empire strikes back of LOTR movies.

The Man Of Steel Review

Superman Returns no not that garbage a new superman; and im here to review it lets go.

What an awesome movie this was. This movie did so many things right which made me pumped for a Justice League Movie. First cool part was them being on Krypton and all the Kryptonians dealing with their world getting ready to blow up. Whats going on at Krypton last maybe 20 minutes but loved every moment of it. Russel Crow made an awesome Jor El thought he did the role really well. Now im not a huge Superman fan so don’t know all logistics of the superman history but krypton getting ready to blow up for abusing their world the way they did. So Jor El sends his son Kal El to Earth to try and advice the earthlings teaching them their mistakes so they don’t repeat them and end up like Krypton. So cool seeing all things at Krypton. I’ll talk little more when i get to Zod.

Also i liked they didn’t do what they did for Krypton for Kal El or Clarks backstory. I’ve always said that using Flashbacks is easy way to tell a characters background. Just like Lost you learn the characters motivation. The one thing i did not like was how Johnathan Kent died. I like it where he dies from a heart attack showing that not even Superman can save everyone. But interesting how Clark learns he’s an alien and must find his path. Getting jobs on Deadliest Catch and Ice bergs to find the ship his dad sent him. Also we meet Lois Lane played by Amy Adams. I like Amy Adams though does not say true to comic books. One thing you have to get when its been touched by Christopher Nolan is that you throw the comic book at the wall because it is not relevant anymore it is its own story now. Only thing i did not like was Lois Lane knowing who Superman is. Also i have say Henry Cavil played an awesome Superman. Thats a hard role to play course said same thing about Chris Evans as Captain America. Their golden boys and hard to their characters justice Cavil nailed the role down. Cool seeing when Superman first flys and see joy on his face just awesome.

Now lets get to the antagonist General Zod. Now can i say Michael Shannon did good job yes. But do i think if you found another actor to play him it would of been just as good absolutely. But cool seeing General Zod cause i had no idea who he was really. When heard he was the villain i looked him up and learned. I felt it was the right call can’t start out with Lex Luther even though they had that funny cameo of lex corp and Wayne enterprise satellite. But good villain in the movie.

My only gripe about the movie was the fight scene’s dragged out a little much. But it wasn’t too bad.

Now im going about the end fight SPOILERS IF YOU DON’T WANT BE SPOILED CLICK AWAY YOU BEEN WARNED.

I liked it when Superman killed Zod. I mean if he didn’t kill him just shows that superman has no resolve and won’t do anything that corrupts him he does what was necessary. People probably didn’t like that but hey Batman killed Harvey Dent in Dark Knight. Yeah someone say actually he just pushed him. Yeah off a building not like you push someone off building expecting them not to die. So cool.

In end great movie, great story, action cool little over the top sometimes but still enjoyable great cast. In the end this movie is Legend wait for it…. DARY LEGENDARY

Star Trek Into Darkness Review

The Crew is back for another epic tale of the star ship enterprise and her crew. Lets do this.

Let me state this at the beginning im not a treky, i favor Star Wars way more but I love the modern day Star Trek films. Now lets get into the thick of it. Happening not that long after the end of the first movie the enterprise crew is exploring worlds until Kirk breaks the rules and loses his command. Then we meet our villain Khan. To have a awesome movie you have to have a great villain. Dark Knight has Joker, Star Wars has Darth Vader, Harry Potter has Lord Voldemort. That what was lacking in the first star trek movie. In first one it’s more about how Kirk gets the ship and getting to know the crew of the enterprise that’s the only thing wrong with the movie. Now we meet Khan now i have never seen the Star Trek 2 wrath of khan movie but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Khan is Star Trek villain no one is better than him. Give your hands to Benedict Cumberbatch. Whats cool about this movie is thanks to events of the last Star Trek movie not only has the timeline change but also reasoning for characters wanting to do something. The whole time when kirk and khan had to team up even though they didn’t trust Khan. Then we also have the meeting with future Spock. Movie has great cast, great story. A lot of traditional Star Trek fans didn’t like the idea of star trek turning into action movie. But its got Old trek fans excited and new fans like myself excited about it.

One thing spoilers if you haven’t seen it. I like the fact that kirk and Spock had switch places in their fates in the end. Though felt kind of cheep bringing him back but oh well not like i didn’t see it coming. When you see Spock yelling KHHANNN your like its go time for Mr. Spock.

In the end it was great movie, with a great cast, great action, and awesome villain. And Star Trek is Legend wait for it DARY. LEGENDARY.

Unfortunately i think this will the last good star trek movie since J.J Abrams is moving on to Star Wars i don’t see him doing about Star Trek and Star Wars i think be awesome if he did but just don’t see it happen.
