Taken 3 (2014)

This is not Taken 3, this is Parkinson 3!!!

[4/10 · 9 January 2015]

Whoever edited and filmed this, should visit a doctor ASAP.

The editing is atrocious, you can't see anything during the action scenes. Moves and hits are usually lost and you can't see who is hitting who, where, how. If you think Taken 2 was bad, this movie takes the spot at clearly trying to do the worst to suck badly.

The movie is also slow and it's less focused on action, if compared to the previous ones.

By the way, if nobody is taken, then why is it called Taken? Is it because my money was TAKEN by a crappy movie?

Bad guys appear in the first 5 minutes and then come back only after the 1 hour mark. That means we got almost 1 hour of pure nonsense.

Our hero destroys at least 20 cars, obviously killing innocent people. Nothing happens to him, he's called a hero, he is free to walk away, Such cool guy that Brian Mills!!!

This movie is a turd and you should avoid. Ah, it doesn't even have a real conclusion. If Taken 4 gets made ( you know it'll get made ), we know his grandchild is gonna be Taken. I'm serious, he now has a freaking grandchild to take care.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

Don't pay to watch this movie. Wait for the Extended edition!!

[5/10 · 15 December 2014]

This movie is a mess from beginning to the end.

The first 15 minutes should belong to Desolation of Smaug, given the fact he gets killed and that's it.

The movie is entirely rushed without giving closure for most of the characters. Editing was atrocious and there was no link between scenes. Beorn had 15 secs of screen time and then he just disappeared.

The final battle was a joke. Most of the scene was focused on duels featuring Thorin vs Azog and Legolas vs Bolg, with some orcs being killed in the process.

Trolls were retarded, by killing themselves, when they were hitting walls. Gandalf does nothing in the whole movie.

The plot holes were here and much worse this time. Yes, the eagles are back! Guess what? They save the day yet again! That's funny, because they were nowhere to be seen in Desolation of Smaug. So, are you telling me that the eagles couldn't take the characters to the mountain, after saving them in the first Hobbit? That's some BS right there.

The orcs now have worms. So, what happened to the worms? Why didn't they appear in Lord of The Rings? Yeah, no explanation.

The movie also tries to focus on a character that nobody likes. Guess what, he steals money and he freaking survives in that flick.

Don't give money to them! This movie is insanely flawed and clearly cut. The carriage scene from the trailer is NOT in the movie. You're paying to watch something incomplete. As flawed as the previous movies were, at least they worked as standalone movies. This one doesn't work.

You were warned.

The Equalizer (2014)

Finally a serious, violent and dark movie! Thanks, Denzel!!!

[9/10 · 25 September 2014]

Don't listen to people saying the movie is slow. Trust me, the movie is everything except slow.

It wasn't action heavy, but it had some good characters, good action and amazing performances.

The best parts were the moments where Robert and Teddy were face to face. I would like to see more of these scenes.

The best part was the final action bit, where our hero uses everything he can, to kill the bad Russian guys. From spears to barbed wire to drills. Did I forget to mention glass and nail guns?

The ending sets up a sequel, so be sure Robert ( Denzel ) will be back for more. He IS The Equalizer.

The flaws are the main villains deaths, which were weak. I also missed scenes during daylight.

Falcon Rising (2014)

Dumb fun, though not quite heavy on action like you may believe

[8/10 · 7 September 2014]

Falcon Rising is the kind of movie that is easy to sell with an action packed trailer.

However, it has less action then what you may believe there is. That's not to say it's not an action movie, but the action scenes are quite few and far between.

The movie starts with our hero drinking and playing Russian roulette. If he really wants to kill himself, he should have loaded his gun with all the bullets, but that's besides the point.

The point is that he has a sister who cares about him. After a talking scene at the restaurant, they part ways.

Suddenly, the movie is set up in Brazil-Rio de Janeiro, where most of the plot happens. His sister is a cop and she gets brutally attacked. Our hero discovers it and he goes to Brazil to investigate.

During the first half of the movie, there were only 2 fight scenes ( one in the first five minutes and the other about halfway ). The second half gets better and it focus more on the action, which is what we came to see.

When the action happens, it's cool. No cuts, no shaking cam, no implied deaths. It's everything clear and well filmed.

The last fight is a little different because it's our hero against 3 guys at the same time.

It sets up a sequel, if they want to make one. The action scenes and Michael Jay White are a must see.

Mercenaries (2014)

Mediocre and cheesy, but somehow enjoyable and dumb fun

[5/10 · 9 August 2014]

Mercenaries (2014) is the kind of movie that is quite honest with people who watch it. It doesn't pretend to be more than what should be.

The plot is paper thin. Very basic, probably made by monkeys.

Character A gets kidnapped by bad guys. Character B recruits some criminals by offering them redemption. The girls go to war and there will be death and destruction.

Blood squibs, horrible CGI, laughable acting, Vivica Fox is fatty, Brigitte Nielsen is over the top, handguns have 50 bullets without even reloading, bad guys are retarded and dumb by missing shots when their enemies are only 3 feet away from them.

The last fight was so cheesy and probably it was meant to be that way. Fortunately, it's short ( 84 minutes ) and it's OK to watch if you have nothing better to do.
