Alright, quick reviews of several movies I've been to in a while!
1) Fantastic 4
0/5 stars.
This movie was a waste of money for me. Thank god I only paid student price for it. If I could rename this movie, I'd call it a Fantastic Flop.
2) Magic Mike XXL
3/5 stars.
If you like dancing, hot guys and sexy moves, this is a movie for you. Also good for whiling your hours away.
3) Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
4/5 stars.
Action made me feel a bit nauseous, but everything else was so good. Tom Cruise did his own stunts, which makes the movie realistic and genuine. Also, the car chase where Tom Cruise was driving - also not a stunt. Loved the movie.
4) The Man from U.N.C.L.E
4.5/5 stars.
Wow, such a hassle to write that title. Anyways the director is Guy Ritchie, Madonna's ex-husband. The movie was really good, I like watching things related to the Cold War, and this movie had enough historical references in it to keep me happy, while putting the action in as well. Good humour at parts of the movie when it was possibly getting a little boring. Plot twists and time-restricted scenes will have you on the edge of your seats. Just not happy they didn't get to kiss.
5) The Transporter Refueled
4/5 stars.
Plot twists galore. Running gag of son and father. A lot of unexpected things too, though it touches on prostitution and such. Thank god it was a NC16 movie. I liked this movie, looked like an Audi advertisement though.
6) Inside Out
5/5 stars.
Another classic Disney movie, set to sway the hearts of adults to their films and yet be able to entertain children. This movie made me cry like nobody's business, so please bring your tissue boxes. Warning: Also contains some life-changing realizations.
7) The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials
4/5 stars.
Absolutely stunning cast. Who doesn't love a movie with good looking men and great action, right? Not to mention this was something out of a L4D2 game, with no safe houses. The movie was changed from the book (thank fucking God, the book dragged on for like, ever), but retained enough to keep it true to the storyline. Plot twist made me so angry.
8) Hitman: Agent 47
3/5 stars.
Some things were quite hazy (no pun intended) in this movie and didn't provide clarity till the end? Weird shit going on with the agents (why do they look the same?) and also Singapore backdrop just made everything look super fucking hilarious to me. (They REALLY filmed it here in the CBD.) It was hard to take the movie seriously when half the scenes were shot where I've been to before.
9) Pixels
4/5 stars.
I do love a comedy. Also, Peter Dinklage and Adam Sandler are in the movie. Cool stuff for gamers who can relate - games aren't just games, they're something more than just that. Cheesy, come-to-life gimmick at the end to satisfy people like me... I do love a happy ending. Here's my fav quote from the movie.
"Have you been playing Space Invaders lately?"
"Yeah, I have. How did you know?"
"'Cause you're invading my space, now move."
Alright, I'll be back soon with more reviews of different things! Cheers.
