“This Is 40” Review: Judd Apatow’s Latest Is Honest & Hilarious, But Can’t Quite Connect December 20, 2012December 20, 2012The real world may be a scary place, but Judd Apatow tries to make it more or less scary by writing and directing comedies with relatale stories. This is 40 is Apatow’s latest directorial effort and sort of sequel to his previous hit Knocked Up. While Apatow’s sense of humor… Read More
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Review February 18, 2012February 18, 2012The first Ghost Rider movie may have sucked, but the character made it worth watching. Ghost Rider is just the definition of badassery when it comes to Marvel’s antiheroes, and at least that was established in the first movie. He holds his popularity solely on his looks and style. This… Read More
Movie Review: “Young Adult” December 9, 2011December 9, 2011Generally movie audiences are cheering for the hero to save the day, the good guy to get the girl, the down on his luck athlete to make the winning jumper (had to use a basketball reference since the NBA is back), but none of that matters when you can make… 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).
