Scorpion (2014)
Like every other movie that handles computer science this one is also terrible
So I gave this title a shot. I knew it would be false hope to assume the best, but I gave it a shot any ways the benefit of doubt that MAYBE it's good.
Unfortunately it isn't.
The programmer in me cried out at every turn these guys took. The "human calculator"'s role is rather pointless for example when he calculates how much it takes to shut down the door? And the girl then proceed to cut the power to everything and throw a switch. Why the calculation then?
And the HDD they pulled out which gets wiped by the speaker in the car??
The plot doesn't make any sense either. It's a situation which could NEVER happen. Backups aren't overwritten they are segmented and version-ed. And the software is from a company which went out of date but still puts out updates?
And the plain which is flying low and drops out an Ethernet cable?? By Odin's beard. It hurt so much.
So to all the "geniuses" out there who were looking for a good flick to watch, this is not one of them. Stay away!!! Ya be warned.
Faster (2010)
Simply put, awesome
I'm not gonna write to much, since this piece doesn't require explanation.
I thought that Dwayne wont put a good movie to the screen anymore. After Walking Tall i didn't saw to much from him.
But this film lives up to The Rocks looks. It is really a good action movie. And it has a rather simple but really good plot! Nothing fancy, nothing to extraordinary but that is why it is so good.
Dwayne is a really good actor but many rolls aren't fit form him. For example smiling. He did it in Witch mountain. He shouldn't have. It was more creepy then anything else in that movie.
But this? THIS is his territory. Angry. Strong. Bad ass. Awesome.
It is straight forward, action packed and to the point. Dwayne doesn't hesitate as a half witted killer would. And that's is why he is great.
So go watch it. You will have a great time!
Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)
Decent, disappointing, don't know what the hell happened
Hi Guys.
So i saw this movie just today. I really started to watch it without any prethoughts at all. I tried to ignore the comments on it, as i was curious why it is so bad.
First of all. I don't agree with others about acting. I do think that it was pretty decent. I like Hayden, he was great in Jumper ( no words about the movie it self ) and he was pretty decent in this one too.
As for the other characters, i liked Thandie Newton, but i really hated that kid.
And that brings me to the worst part. Spoiler:
The kid lives. Because he runs into the Church after several times being told that: "kid.. your mom is dead." Okey. Let's pretend that things like that happen. He loosed his mind. But. Hayden going after him? Just leave him! Get yourself to safety ffs. You know you don't supposed to run into an abandoned easily lit Church after a kid. Come on. You are supposed to just ran away.
So let's talk about the screen play. It would have been fine, would have there been an explanation for all what happened. And the Croatoa sign at the end, wasn't a good one. Why were those two left alive? The kid didn't had a solar flash light. And why did the sun come up? Didn't Hayden say there hasn't been any sun for days?
This film lacks a lot of things. A reason to watch it is amongst them.
The Dark Knight (2008)
The best Batman so far
I will give it a 10/10 because in a long time this is the first movie that really deserves it.
I feel that i have to express my gratitude to the creators of this masterpiece by commenting although i know that there are dozens of comments more.
First i was caught in the hype of the new dark knight too. I will be honest, i don't like when movies are to hyped up because then you expect the movie to be the greatest hit ever and then you get something like transformers. But... this movie has reached and went over it's created hype.
All the characters in the film were absolutely great. Batman, Gordon, Joker, Harvey, Rachel, Alfred and Fox. Every each one of them were simply amazing. Bale was the best batman so far. Caine fits Alfred perfectly. Aaron was a great Harvey, i believe in him. Heath... no words necessary. I could not imagine someone other then Maggie for Rachel.
All in all the actors were perfect but we cannot forget the genies who wrote the script for them. Recreating the Joker, and Harvey i met first with a surprise. I though of the old movies which already pictured Joker and killed him. But then i realized ( what i already knew ) that does films were nothing. They were child stories... I mean come on, batman and robin? never mind... I am REALLY great full for Christopher Nolan recreating it and clearing Batman's name from the shame that the other movies brought upon it once and for all. I really hope that i will see a next episode soon which will be as gloomy and dark as this one. To be honest, this was the first batman that gave back the Comic to be in it's full capacity. Thank you for a great time watching this!
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
Again a movie that lives of fantasy genre
As a good commenter before me begin his comment i can only copy it:
This movie is bad. I swear it's BAD! I'm serious... The acting was good enough and i like Jason but... The rest of them? I mean the magician is really bad the scenery is really bad, the "monsters" which are the only ones in the whole movie, are really REALLY bad and they have only a frigging custom on and that's all.. If the magician was so powerful how come he ain't done nothing? ahhh...
Please for God's sake DON'T watch this movie.. EVER!!! I did and i regret it... There is really nothing more to say about it. I don't want to give away the plot for does of you who dare anyways... Good look for you, and at least do it with some friends so you can laugh more..
Species: The Awakening (2007)
Again a movie hype
This movie su**ed. I did wanted to see it because i saw the other tow, but sadly i should have known that it will not be better then the second part. The plot was terrible and the happenings were so flat that i almost felt asleep. It was like they wanted to put something together but they only had $100. The acting wasn't that good and i was the one how felt ashamed of how terrible the events were. The first two parts had more too say. The first part was really the one which had it in it and think they though that people will see this one because of it. I really really hope that it will not be so. If you value your life, please don't waste it on this one. I truly have nothing else to say about it. It was just awful.
Whisper (2007)
Change
This film was something else for a change. I must agree with the previous commentator that this film contained no bad or good characters. The play was very intense and was refreshingly something new. I could not tell every moment what would happen and to be honest this film lied very near to a book i just read called the Inner phantom. With in every an each person there is something bad, or something that he or she hides. Every and each person has a dark side she or he fears. He has it in him, and sometimes it can get out. And by others it is stronger they kill. Others it sleeps and sometimes it awakes and they cheat on her / his boy / girlfriend or lie.. This film is very near this conception and i must say i was thrilled to the last moment. Watch this film if you want to see something good and else for a change...
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
So let's try this... again...
So i decided to watch this movie because i saw the second part a month ago. I must tell this movie is at best a 5... And i would give it a five for the action and the blood and the zombies of course. The screen play was middle the script was lame. The story was so predictable that it almost amazed me how good i could tell who dies and why. I mean L.J. getting bit and then not telling? Come on... And then of course after he turns he bites the main character.. Who else? They are supposed to be pro-s at killing these things. Well they were less then amateurs. They did not even had Molotov's or at least a few grenades. But of course you could always say the ran out of it... I think this movie lives from the hype.. But i can give it at most a 5... The ending was funny thou.. :)
