Skyline Review: Are Special Effects Enough To Make A Movie? November 13, 2010The alien invasion thriller Skyline opened up this weekend, and the question on everyone’s mind was if special effects can replace big names, set pieces, and budget to make a convincing sci-fi film. Skyline definitely answers the question, though you may be surprised by the answer. Get the full review… Read More
I thought the movie was as great as the first one overall. There were some parts which I thought probably could have been left out or generally changed. For instance, when Agent Romanov is fighting her way through Hammer Industries, she keeps awkwardly posing in front of the camera like she is desperate to convince you that she is good looking. That whole fight scene was really forced and made for a rude interruption for an otherwise fantastic movie. The action was there an even more heavy than in the first one, which I liked. I’ve heard (here) that the final fight scene had too much going on to recognize the different characters, but I didn’t have that problem at all. I think if there was anything wrong with that scene it was a little bit too short and seemed to cut itself off. But the laser addition to Iron Man’s suit was absolutely satisfying. Overall, the writing sometimes faltered with the more minor characters, but not enough to distract from the overall quality of the movie. It’s a Sherlock Holmes movie and I’m pretty much a sucker for those (which is why you’ll find me watching House every Monday). I was amazed with the movie and plan to see it many more times.
I’ve also seen it once so far, but that’s gonna change soon. For the most part, I agree with every thing that Jeremy said. While the action in IM2 is better, (the F-22 fight scene from the first movie withstanding),this one still does not have enough fight scenes, and the final battle was Awesome, but as many would agree, way to short. The much over-rated Scarlett Johanssen, had a dead,stuck-on-stupid, look on her face. Not only during her fight scene, ( which was “good” by the way ),but throughout all of her scenes. The reason she didn’t speak with a Russian accent, like she should have. Is probable because she doesn’t have the talent, like Rourke or RDJ. Overall I found the negative reviews to be down right misleading. My rating score? (9/10) (A) or (4 out of 5 stars). Take your pick, you can’t lose. KVS -(student film-maker).
