Just Before I Go (2014)
Absolutely Brilliant
Being a Sean William Scott fan I thought I'd watch this movie and boy am I glad I did. I was dubious at first as Courtney Cox was directing it but I gotta admit - she nailed it. This movie hits on many layers in life, some things you'll relate to, others you won't but you'll understand where it's coming from. It's a dark comedy drama with some smutty but funny humour that will either have you laughing out loud or looking on in shock. This movie is not only great acting, writing and directing but it has many hidden messages in it which makes you think about your own life, family amongst other things. Acting wise this is Sean William Scott's best movie. I cannot recommend this enough and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves. You rarely wake up the following day thinking what a great movie you watched last night - well, this is one of them.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Well worth a trip to the cinema
I saw the movie today and was blown away! Having really enjoyed the first movie I was sceptical that a sequel would be as good or better (as we well know, sequels are rarely better than the original) however, this sequel is marginally better in my opinion. The opening scene sets the tone and it doesn't slow down from there. This movie has had great writing, a brilliant cast - superb almost flawless CGI which will leave you speechless and the storyline is excellent, but you will need to concentrate as it gets alittle complicated at times (as expected). We get to see a more human side of the characters in this movie and there is a very funny cameo from the legend Stan Lee. We also get to see plenty of Hulk scenes which were fantastic. By the time this movie finished it left me wanting more! oh, and whatever you do - do not walk out of the cinema until you've seen the twist at the end - it kicks in about 3-4 minutes after the credits start up. It's well worth the short wait.
The Sweeney (2012)
Don't Bother
I have no idea why they called this film The Sweeney?! Apart from using the same character names it was far from the original. I've always been a Ray Winston fan but this was not a good film for him. As for Ben Drew.......well, that's not much to say expect, WHO THE HELL MADE THE DECISION TO HIRE HIM? Awful actor just awful !!!!!! Had this movie been called something else I may have given it a 4 but as they tried to ride off the back of the famous name The Sweeney then I think a 3 is very generous! The storyline was average, the acting was OK. This film was watchable 'just' but also very forgettable and not a movie you'd ever watch again......... Also, the American police have internal affairs, British police have professional standards department. I understand that movies need swearing to make scenes work etc but this film was non stop f*#k and c*#t which I didn't think was necessary.
Man of Steel (2013)
What were they thinking?!
Man of Steel
A sci-if disaster movie whereby Aliens cause disasters and want to take over the world.........oh ye, with superman in it. A terrible reboot which you will forget about in 4 days after watching.
This movie has zero humour, no Clark Kent (Reporter) and no Jimmy Olson. Amy Adams as Louis Lane was a terrible choice. This movie was a huge disappointment. Henry Cavill as Superman didn't work for me. He comes across like he belongs in a Broadway show and not on the big screen. I really hope they don't make Man of Steel 2. What I'd like to see is a sequel to Superman Returns brining Brandon Routh back as he was a far superior Clark Kent/Superman.
Superman does not kill - EVER
Since when is Jonathan Kent telling Clark to let kids die.
Lois Lane was not the same funny bubbly character we all love. Amy Adams sucked.
Henry Cavill as Superman? Who the hell made that decision in WB? What an idiot !! Cavill looks the least like Superman out of all the others.
The storyline to Man of Steel was atrocious. A wishy washy back and forth story between present and past with vast action scenes and a storyline that probably took half a day to cook up.
Jonathan Kent dies in a hurricane whilst Clark stands by and watches - that's new! They obviously didn't wanna give him the traditional heart attack then.
Since when does Superman have a beard and since when does he become a drifter travelling the country going from job to job.
Clark locates a spaceship and flys it where he then meets Jor-El who then gives him his Superman suit to which he then has a quick shave, gets into the suits and learns how to fly in 97 seconds.
Jor-El gets stabbed by Zod whilst Lara dies alone when Krypton blows up.
Superman DOES NOT KILL. I've mentioned that already right!
Clark lives on earth for 33 years and takes that long to learn his powers. Zod comes along and does it in 1 day.
I laughed like hell when Lois turned up at the train station just before Superman killed Zod. Has she got super powers too? She seemed to know every location he was going to land/crash and meet him there? Maybe he was texting her?!
Superman had the choice of throwing Zod or flying up with him in order to prevent death to that family but NO - Superman decides to break Zods neck - and I'm supposed to let my kid see this movie?
This movie should have been shot in sequence. The back and forth flashbacks got boring after the 84th one.
All the buildings get demolished but yet Clark starts for work at the very untouched Daily Planet soon after he destroyed Metropolis.
God knows how many people Superman killed when he flew Zod through all those buildings killing half the city.
The first half of this movie tries to set the tone whilst the second half is just CGI. The movie has no real storyline.
Snyder wanted to make a masterpiece and in my opinion failed in a big way. His ego was clearly writing cheques his body couldn't cash. I'm convinced that he was smoking weed whilst directing the majority of this pile of sh*t movie. Richard Donner & Bryan Singer done a MUCH better job.
How does Clark end up meeting Lois Lane, reviling his identity and later getting a job at the Daily Planet? Where can they go with the separate romance between Superman and Lois whilst Clark remains a third character.
What more can I say? Shite acting, depressing soundtrack, zero humour, most of the movie shot in CGI, terrible storyline, no character, no heart, etc etc etc etc etc...........This movie was made to make $$$$$ because it certainly wasn't made for true Superman fans.
This movie was awful and that's not an opinion! I could watch all the other Superman movies again. Will I ever watch Man of Steel again? LOL !! Enough said !!!
I give this film 1/10 only because I'm a generous kind fella. All I really want is my money back and to erase my memory of this diabolical disappointment.
