Gladiator review
Posted : 9 years, 5 months ago on 11 June 2015 12:22 (A review of Gladiator)There are things to like about this film, but I found myself constantly checking how much longer the movie was going to run. There are some movies that are long and you don't really mind it, however this was not one of those movies. The characters are likable enough, the story is good, the acting is great, but there was just too much going on outside of the main protagonist and his story that was just kind of agonizing. The viewer is given a bloodlust, you want to see Crowe kick more butt and be awesome but the filmmakers want you to work for that, so you have to sit through some mediocre scenes. Those scenes however build up to some really exciting fight scenes. When Crowe goes into Gladiator mode IT...IS...ON!! When watching him you feel like you're right there in the arena cheering for him. The music, the cinematography, it was all well done to give the feel of the times and take you into the scene.
Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor, and he was great in his role. One thing that I'm really glad the filmmakers did was that they didn't make the character a wimp. While he was soft compared to Maximus, Phoenix's character had combat training as well. So when they go head to head, it's not just a one sided fight.
With great arena scenes, great acting from our two main stars. Gladiator was a good movie that had too much around it. I wouldn't watch the whole thing over again, however I will keep the awesome parts in my head and like I said at the start Crowe's badassness is this film's legacy.

Rio review
Posted : 9 years, 5 months ago on 11 June 2015 12:00 (A review of Rio)I've got to say that Rio's animation is on point. I cannot complain about it. It's all pretty smooth and doesn't look cheap at all. The plot of the movie overall was decent and there were enough laughs in it for me to really enjoy myself while watching it. I didn't feel bored with it.
When watching an animated movie one of the games I like to play is guess who's voices are in the movie. I was delighted to find a few actors that I actually like lending their voice to the characters. I feel like Jesse Eisenberg's voice is just kind of weird for an animated movie, it didn't really make the character anymore likable. Sure he sounded neurotic and that's what the character embodies but Eisenberg wouldn't had been my choice voice, every other voice was well done though. I was excited to hear Tracy morgan's voice in this but the amount of drool his character gave off was disgusting and distracting from anything the character did I really couldn't understand why he needed to drool so much.
While it was a pretty good movie and I did enjoy, To me the rewatch factor is pretty low. I'd watch it if it was on TV and i was really bored but i would not make the conscious decision to go and put RIO on. If you've been holding off watching it and enjoy these types of animated movies then there's no doubt you'd enjoy it. In end Rio proved it wasn't anything to rush to watch however it was pleasant to sit through and was pretty enjoyable overall.

The Phantom Menace review
Posted : 12 years, 4 months ago on 21 July 2012 06:04 (A review of The Phantom Menace)One thing that is always brought up when people complain about "The phantom menace" is Jar Jar. To me Jar Jar Binks was not the worst part of the movie. In my opinion the worst part is the acting from Anakin. He was terrible, If this was what was chosen for the movie I would really hate to see the rejects from the auditions. The kid delivers lines so carlessly, it really is like watching a grade school play whenever this kid is on screen. I would be enjoying the movie and then he speaks and totally ruins it.
The rest of the actors do a decent job. Ewan mcgregor's character is bland but he really just does the best he can with the character. Liam neeson is another one who tried to work with a character that was just meh. Decent acting props to Anakin's mother as well, she did fine. Natalie portman was another one who gets effort points because she did do a good job, but again the writing and character was the flaw.
I will mention that the visuals are really good, so that's a plus. The movie overall had some decent moments. But that's what it is, a long movie with a few decent moments. This is the second time I have watched this movie since it's release and I'm pretty sure I will end up watching it again in the future. The decent moments, visuals, and fact that it's attached to the Star Wars franchise gives it a likely rewatch factor. But those reasons does not mean it's a good movie, it's an acceptable movie for those moments when you can get yourself to say "Let me give Episode one another chance".
