The Don't Watchmen

Honestly.. I feel like I just wasted 3 hours of my life and I can't get it back! I guess there was some story to the movie, but you know what? I didn't want to know. I followed the stories, but the whole movie was way too slow. I can't say I really enjoyed any part of it. Maybe the heroic scenes. Maybe it's the fact that I know nothing about these Watchmen but I just didn't get this movie. To me it is a movie I was better off not watching. There were some good effects tho.. Thats about the only good thing this movie had going for it.
+FX
-Didn't care about the story
-3 hours long
-Didn't care about the characters

Final Grade: D and that's being nice.. i'm not watching a superhero movie again that involves someone or some group of people i dont know or care about. end of story

"They say you're judged by the strength of your enemies. "


Well lets see.. Sure I'm going to be a little shaky with this here. I just finished Quantum of Solace. I have to say. yet another Daniel Craig Bond that makes me happy. The action in this movie was pretty awesome. The chase scenes and fighting are always very well done. I was very pleased with that aspect. Now maybe because I was watching it and doing other things a tad made me not follow the story to tell if its really that great of a movie, it just didn't seem like it was a big deal. I know Bond was out for Vespa's killer and such from Casino Royale, but i just didn't get it. Seemed to me he was just out to kill anyone and anything, which yes revenge will do that to a person. All in all I still think this is a movie worth seeing, as all the Bond movies I have seen thus far are.

+Action
+Explosions
+Daniel Craig as Bond
+Fighting Scenes
+More Action (get down again)
-Didn't care about the story or Vespa being dead

Final Grade B+

I may have to purchase this one anyway and rewatch it and focus.. but I definitely love the Bond movies. I would give an A overall just because its Bond, but in the end.. The story matters just enough to decrease it to B+ status.

Movie Review - Star Wars : The Clone Wars


To start off, I am a huge Star Wars fan. I love every.....well okay, I love love the orignal trilogy and some stuff of the prequels. I remember being in the theatre watching Episode 3 thinking, well this is it, the last Star Wars movie ever. I was wrong.
What we got a few years later is an all cgi (if you know Lucas you saw the cgi thing coming) movie that takes place during Episode 2. This movie was aimed a tad towards kids and is kind of a long pilot for the tv series of the same name.
First off you notice that the beginning titles are different and dont use the Star Wars theme or scrolling text that you are used to seeing. Then it launches right into a story where a narrator tells you whats going on and then its right into it. I did not like this and unless you really know Star Wars then you are going to be a bit lost and confused.
The story is about Jabba the Hutt's baby being kidnapped. The Jedi go to save the baby so that they can reach a bargain with Jabba to open up a trade route for the Senate to use. During this time, Anakin is assigned a padawan named Ahsoka. She acts just like he did when he was younger or at least should be acting like if we are going by Episode 2 logic. Its a bit annoying at times.
The story is easy to guess what happens next and you dont really care about anyone or anything that happens. It doesn't seem like a full story is used, more like a portion of something decent someone thought of.
The animation is good but the style they chose to go with looks almost as if these are carved figures that are being moved. The orignal voices aren't used either with the exception of Sam Jackson as Mace Windu and Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. Although the guy doing the voice of Obi-Wan does an amazing job at doing a Ewan McGregger.
I was not entertained by this movie but liked watching it because it was Star Wars. Its nothing amazing but at least worth a watch to see where Star Wars is going these days.
B-
Pros:
-Good animation and cgi
-More Star Wars
Cons:
-Too kid friendly and jokey
-Lackluster story
-Quick, out of nowhere ending thats handled poorly
-More of a cartoon pilot

What shall Mario wear today?
