I am rewatching all of these movies in preparation for the new one coming out. I have to say, this movie looked a lot better when I was 7 or 8 and this is what all movies looked like. Don't get me wrong this was a great movie and looked great for how difficult it would be to make the movie, but wow I used to think this movie looked great and now it just looks average. Really goes to show how far technology has come. The story line is pretty good, it is something that could totally happen, man failing on an experiment and it turning out horribly wrong. Or the way I looked at it, amazing because now you can talk with Apes. I see the humans point of view, being afraid of the Apes but also I see that the Apes just want to live in solitude away from Humans. The science and beginning part of the movie is pretty accurate I think. The way in which caesar is raised is pretty similar to an actually chimpanzee which was raise to learn sign language and is intellectually more advanced than most chimpanzees. They definitely did their research on the topic and played it out relatively well. They had nothing to base the rest of the movie on, and I think they did a really good job. My next 2 blogs will likely be about the other two movie as well. Good movie, you should watching it because I know the new one will be really good. It is a little pushy on the humanity is bad and they are fighting instead of trying to be friends but like it's a good movie.

My 10 year old cousins were over at our house all weekend so we decided to watch a Disney movie. Tangled is what got chosen and it is a great movie. The music is my favorite part and really makes the movie for me. Also the subtle humor is great. They make little jokes here and there and their interactions with different animals is also just funny. The ending isn't the best but how they get to the ending is great. There are obviously a lot of things that happen and only happen for the plot and would never happen in real life but honestly that is half of the fun of Disney movie. Somethings happening just for it to happen even when it is illogical for it to happen. Obviously like other Disney movies, there is also an age gap between Rapunzel and Flynn but honestly it wouldn't be that bad in the long run. They are only 8 years apart and technically Rapunzel is an adult by the end of the movie so it's not too weird. This movie is a great movie to watch as a kid and is equally good as an adult/older individual. The crude and monstrous looking men in the tavern are my favorite and I am so happy they help Rapunzel and Flynn at the end of the movie. They are fun and funny and just lovable characters even if they look terrifying. This is also part of the realson I love Tangled, rapunzel is so innocent that she takes everyone to be the best person they could have been. She takes them for the contents of their heart not what they look like. Let's start by saying that I missed the first 20 minutes of this movie and that may have made me like the movie more. Also we watched it in the massive IMAX theater at Newport and it was sick. This next paragraph will try and not spoil anything. You are basically thrown into the movie, or at least I was, but this works well for this movie. This is a movie where you don't really need any background as long as you know basic geography and general knowledge of the US. This movie also took an interesting spin on the Civil War, I figured it would be about a big battle between a separating US. I was not disappointed however to figure out that it was a story about journalists and them trying to capture the war. The cinematography was amazing and the message behind the story was amazing. The movie felt more like they came u with the message they wanted to show and then built a story that would show it rather than having a general idea about the story and pairing it with a message. Now for some spoilers I didn't see the first 20 minutes and this arguably made it better for me. I have been told that they basically just show you a civil war happening and then don't really give you any reason as to why it's happening and which side you should support. This probably would have bugged me, except I was thrown into the movie completely and I basically just made up the bit I missed in my head. This movie was shot beautifully and it had a great sound track. It spared no gore and really showed the horrors that some people will do when they feel scared and do not know who to trust or back. The battles seemed pretty reasonable and nothing too outlandish happened so it didn't feel unreal. The only part that felt unrealistic is how easily the Western Forces seemed to win against the trained military. I know they have the technology and the training that the military had so it's not too unreasonable but I feel like the military that was backing the president would have been stronger. Also the president would not be held up in the White House if this was all actually happening, the president would be in some safe house somewhere. I am now done with spoilers I could probably talk about this movie for like another three paragraphs without even needing to think about what Im writing but I will stop here. I think this movie was great, the cinematography and storytelling was what made it so good but honestly the whole movie was also just great. I think after having a day to digest the movie, it is even better than when I first stepped out of the theater. I would recommend anyone who does not have a weak stomach to gore to watch it and would currently give it a solid 8.5/10 maybe even 9/10. This movie was pretty good. I noticed that they switched up the structure again from the more recent Ghostbuster movies. It more mimics the first one than any of the others. You get the first 75% of the movie being investigation into something and then the last 25% was them solving the issues. This movie was interesting, and it brought the childish and slapstick sort of comedy from the first Ghostbuster and revamped it into a new story with new characters. I also like how they tied in the ghost from the library, as well as the green booger ghost. The tie backs made it feel like the first movie again and it was great. They brought back the old cast and kept them basically how they were in personality, this made the movie so much more entertaining especially since I was able to pick up on them and recall things I had forgotten from the first movie. The Ending was about as satisfying as the first ending, in that it all happened really fast and there was little to no struggle and overcoming that struggle. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing because it I a movie for a younger audience, or the audience that was around for the first movie. Overall if you really want to live the first movie again, then you should totally watch it and enjoy it. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone so you should watch it. I would give it a 8/10, it is so high because I loved the callbacks to the first movie. |
