Click to viewstreet fighter: the legend of chun li -
Based on the popular video game franchise, female fighter Chun Li embarks on a quest for justice.
Do you know of those movies you ask your friend to watch on a dare because you know how bad they are..This is one of them. You have such low expectatons coming into the film that you don't think they can get any lower you are sorely mistaken; the cast is horrible at this acting thing and you feel no emotion towards the characters whatsoever. But yay for capcom deciding to add fanservice when it isn't necessary, there is virtually no plot as far as i could tell just a series of events leading to something interesting and the actress who plays chun-li is not Asian and as we all know about Chun-li she comes from China; most people will only like it because of the fight sequences thrown in..The only actor in here of any credible was Gen who magically seems to die and regenerate himself (which by the way is a cool trick) and teaches Chun-Li a special move? All in all it's a pretty predictable movie that anyone could guess the outcome to. Which is fail - 1/5
watchmen: In an alternate 1985 where former superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach into his own sprawling investigation, uncovering something that could completely change the course of history as we know it.
While the special effects and fighting were good..I felt like the movie was overhyped big time and the trailer gave you the best scenes, I felt like this movie actually missed a whole lot and here are the biggest flaws I found 1. i felt like the soul of the comic book wasn't in the movie, 2. the love triangle that drags on and on, 3. these characters don't have super powers but the movie makes it feel like they do; they're indeed human basically if you're a big fan of the graphic novel you may want to go see it but if you're not then you might not understand this what's going on - 3/5
confessions of a shopaholic: A college grad lands a job as a financial journalist in New York City to support where she nurtures her shopping addiction and falls for a wealthy entrepreneur.
Any girl can relate to the shopaholic main character, it's a pretty enjoyable film but it's also you know predictable and I feel the book was better in this case though the cast is really cute - 3/5
this is spinal tap: Spinal Tap, the world's loudest band, is chronicled by hack documentarian Marti DeBergi on what proves to be a fateful tour.
A music classic comedy i feel it's one of the better ones I've seen in a long time because the laughs keep coming def reached my expectations and more - 5/5
the day the earth stood still (original):
An alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets.
i've noticed that the remake is a more modern one; there's some slim differences from this movie and the remake; I actually like the original more than I do the remake because while the differences are slim you can still notice them. To me this is a sci-fi classic the music is much more suspenseful - 4/5
idiocracy:
Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.
I loved this movie. Honestly there were so many brilliant scenes and it could be pretty realistic. I felt Luke wilson was really funny and I wished there was a sequel of some kind. - 5/5
