Oppenheimer (2023)
Thank you Nolan
This is one of those long movies that don't feel long because of how good it is. I don't know much about the Manhattan project and Robert Oppenheimer, but I felt like the movie gave me a bit more understanding of the implications that the atomic bomb had on Oppenheimer and the world. The plot was intriguing for the majority of the duration, however I did feel less intrigued during parts of the last 40 or so minutes of the movie. I thought the acting was amazing and felt no one did a bad job portraying their characters. I'm glad I was given an insight of the type of person Oppenheimer was and how he conducted himself during and after the project; may he rest in peace.
Airplane! (1980)
Not a fan of that type of humour
I kind of regret watching this movie even though it was quite a short movie because I didn't it enjoy it much. Five minutes in I knew it wasn't my type of movie because I found most of the humour too cheesy and cringe for my liking. There were certain parts of the movie which I liked and thought was funny like the scenes involving the black guys speaking 'jive' which felt relatable even today because black people have mannerisms which most white people might not understand. I feel like if this type of movie was made today it wouldn't be well received and not make much money as it did back then which shows that times have changed.
3 Men and a Baby (1987)
Not realistic, but it was fun at times
It's definitely a unique and interesting concept about three guys who live together that have to look after a baby without any idea of what to do. The first ten or so minutes of the movie were a bit boring, but it got more interesting when the baby shows up on the doorstep. One thing which annoyed me was that the guys didn't get absolutely livid with Sylvia about her leaving the baby alone in a public place where anyone could've taken her. What also annoyed me was that they trusted her to take back the baby considering the fact that she dumped the baby like it was a package. Overall it was a fun movie for the most part, but the unrealism made me like it less.
Batman (1989)
Outdated
There's something about these older superhero movies that I don't find intriguing for some reason; I feel like the plots are just basic and there's not enough character development. I felt the plot was rushed and there was no context at times, for example when Bruce and Vicki go on a date after just having a brief incounter with each other the previous day where there was no tension between them. I couldn't tell if the movie was trying to be dark or not because although I did like the portrayal of the joker, I felt it was a bit extravagant for a dark movie. I also felt I wanted to see more from Bruce Wayne as I felt he didn't have any memorable moments and have a real impact in the movie.
Der Untergang (2004)
Decent
It was my first time watching a foreign language movie and I had seen clips from this movie before including the memes, so I decided to watch the full movie and it did not disappoint. I have read and seen documentaries about the last days of world war 2, but it was good to see it in movie form especially seeing what it was like in the bunker with Hitler and everyone else who lived there. There's not much action in the movie as it primarily focuses on what's happening inside the bunker, but it was still thrilling and intriguing to watch. One downside is that it was probably a bit longer than I would've liked, but other than that it's a decent movie.
Joy Ride (2023)
They over did it with the explicit stuff
The movie started off okay and I was intrigued with the story about an Asian American going back to China to find her birth mom, but as it went on it started to get less and less interesting. I know it's a comedy movie, but I felt the jokes were overused and not funny enough where I actually laughed out loud. A few sexual jokes here and there would've been okay, but there was too many of them which made the characters look like they were trying too hard to be funny. I felt the movie became too ridiculous towards the end with all the k-pop stuff which I found cringey and unnecessary. Also wasn't a fan of the 4 main characters who I thought were too weird.
No Hard Feelings (2023)
It had potential to be better
I have mixed feelings towards the plot of the movie because I found it a bit weird and unrealistic for parents to pay a girl to take their sons virginity, but I did like them together and was rooting for them to do the deed. I'd say the around the first 50 minutes of the movie was intriguing and pretty decent, but after that I felt parts of the story was not as interesting as it could've been and it could've been more well written. Although the conclusion wasn't predictable, I felt like the movie ended on an unsatisfying note and in the end I didn't care for the 2 main characters anymore which is a shame.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Not terrible, but it became less interesting as it went on
The movie was a bit better than I expected because it did start off well with Indiana once again up against the Germans in the third reich time period, but for me that was where the movie peaked as the story became less interesting as it went on. The movie did become a bit more intriguing when they time travelled back to the Roman empire time period which was kind of cool to see, but the damage was already done as most of the movie was just generic. I also wasn't a fan of the character Helena who I felt was unreliable and unlikeable. I even didn't like Teddy as I felt he wasn't charismatic enough and felt like he wasn't needed in the story. On the plus side at least it was better than the Crystal Skull.
Insomnia (2002)
Pretty decent
I thought I had seen all of Christopher Nolan's best rated movies, but I came across this which I hadn't seen before and decided to watch it. I felt the beginning of the movie wasn't really intriguing and I was getting worried that it wasn't going to be a movie that I was going to like, but thankfully it got better as it went on. I liked the story of a perpetrator trying to team up with a detective after he has something on him which I felt was portrayed well by Nolan. The acting by two main characters Al Pacino and Robin Williams was really good as I thought they portrayed their characters very well.
The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)
What a weird little man Martin is
First of all there's a lot of questionable things about the movie such as how man like him is able to get a gun in the UK because you have to be a serious person to get one which Martin definitely isn't. Also it was hard to believe that a weak and badly out of shape person like him was even able to move bodies into his van. It's also funny how there were no witnesses and authorities present in the movie which allowed no chance for Maritin to be caught. The movie was definitely more gruesome than the previous movie, but that was only after around 55 minutes into the movie. I felt like the black and white made the movie seem less gruesome and made the victims not seem real for me because it definitely would've been a bit harder to watch those scenes in colour.
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)
I felt the plot became less interesting after halfway in the movie
I've known about this movie, but never thought of watching it until today and honestly it was not quite as disturbing as I expected. The plot was intriguing from the beginning, but I felt like after maybe 50 or so minutes into the movie it got less interesting for me probably because I had already seen the disturbing stuff in the movie which I got used to and I felt it wasn't going to get even more disturbing which I was right about. The gruesome stuff didn't freak me out, but it did made me kind of not want to think about what those 3 poor characters were going to through. Even though I didn't like the movie that much, I still want to watch the sequel only because I read on Wikipedia it is more gruesome; I feel like I'm going to regret watching it.
Hereditary (2018)
Regret watching this
I only watched this movie because it was in an article about the best horror movies of all time, but it wasn't even good or scary. The whole movie was weird to me, but it was especially weird in the beginning where the story is portrayed in such a slow and depressing way which didn't intrigue me and made me not want to carry on watching the movie. The middle part of the movie was a little bit better, but still not great. The last 20 or so minutes of the movie was just ridiculous and it cemented the ridiculousness of the whole movie. I regret reading that article because it also reccomended the previous horror movie I watched which I also didn't like.
Mother! (2017)
What the heck did I just watch?
This movie was so frustrating to watch and it made me really angry because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I watched this movie because it was in an article about the top scariest movies of all time, but it wasn't even scary. I was so angry with the husband because I felt like he was such a pushover and a weirdo for letting all these people he doesn't even know into his home and those people are acting like total idiots in the house like it's their own. The writer of this movie is a weirdo who shouldn't have been allowed to make the movie; he was trying to be clever making such an obscure movie that will end up being popular, but I'm glad it flopped at the box office. I wish I didn't read that article because I could've went my whole life without watching this dirty excuse for a movie.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
The plot was not as intriguing as I wanted it to be
I thought the plot was very basic and there wasn't enough character development; like I didn't even know Sally and Franklin were siblings until I read about it on Wikipedia after watching the movie. I also felt the story was slow paced especially during the first half of the movie which at that point I realised the movie isn't going to be great. I didn't find the movie scary, however I did flinch when Leatherface came out of nowhere in the dark. I'm guessing this was a good movie for it's time and probably unique from other horror movies of that era, but these types of movies won't work today as you can see by the numerous sequels and remakes from this franchise.
Fast X (2023)
It was okay, but the franchise has been milked too much
To be honest I've been sick of the franchise after Fast 8, but for some reason I feel like I have to watch because I feel like I'll be missing out. I thought the story was intriguing and probably better than Fast 9, but it's nothing unique from the other movies. The open ending was kind of interesting as I don't think it's been done in the franchise before, however it means that there is going to be another movie which is just annoying because this should've been the last movie in the franchise. The action scenes were good as always, but some of them defy logic which was not surprising because there's certain scenes like that in previous movies as well.
The Exorcist (1973)
It was okay, but why was the story so slow paced?
I don't know if that's how storytelling was in movies from that era, but I felt like it was very slow paced and some of the scenes didn't make much sense or weren't needed like the Iraq scene which caught of guard as I didn't expect the muslim call to prayer to be the first thing to hear from the movie. The movie got more intriguing in the second half when the priests start to get involved and the possession gets worse. I didn't find the possession scary, but I still found it interesting seeing the different types of weird stuff that was happening. It's a shame that the story wasn't as intriguing as I wanted it to be because every other aspect of the movie was pretty spot on.
Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
Could've been better, but it's a fourth movie of a franchise what do you expect?
I think for this movie to have been a success it had to be different from the previous 3 movies in terms of the story and the scares, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I thought the plot was decent and it felt intriguing mostly thanks to Kathryn Newton who I thought portrayed her character very well, but I felt the ending was anticlimactic because it felt rushed and kind of similar to the previous movies. Although I did find most of the plot intriguing, I felt like it could have been better written as it didn't feel linked to the previous movies for the most part and I would've liked Katie to have had a bigger role in the movie or more insight of what happened to her after the events of the first movie.
Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
Better than the second movie thankfully
I was expecting this movie to be better than the second movie considering it has better reviews and it was. Before watching the movie I wasn't sure if I was going to like the story or find it interesting considering it is set 18 years before the events of the first 2 movies which I was skeptical about. The movie was similar to the first movie as in it had likable characters and their story was really interesting. I thought the paranormal activities were good and did make be flinch a bit just like in the first movie. I also thought it was a good concept of having the 2 children experience most of the paranormal activities.
Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
Not as good as the first movie
I thought the movie was mediocre because I felt like the story was not that intriguing. What I liked about the first movie is that even in the scenes which didn't include any paranormal activities, I was still intrigued because I felt the story was keeping me interested. That wasn't really the case for this movie because I felt like certain parts of the story were uninteresting and felt forced. Also I felt like Kristi was not portrayed well because I felt she should've had more of a bigger role in the movie and she wasn't likeable. Overall I felt the story was not as good as it could've been and the paranormal activities were not as good as in the first movie.
Paranormal Activity (2007)
Didn't expect this movie to have mixed reviews
I've known about this movie, but avoided watching it because I thought it would cause me to not sleep properly considering the way it was filmed. It's a very simply made low budget movie which manages to be really intriguing just by the anticipation of what paranormal activities are going to take place. I thought the couple were likable and felt they portrayed their characters well considering they don't have much acting experience. I didn't find the movie scary, but I did flinch a couple of times towards the end. I'm surprised the movie has got mixed reviews considering how big of a franchise it ended up creating and I feel like most of the negative reviews are a bit harsh.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
It's not up there with the best animated movies, but it's decent
I don't think I would've watched this if it hadn't have grossed over 1 billion which I still don't know why or how it did. So the plot is pretty straightforward and easy to follow which should be expected because it is a kid's movie after all. What I liked about the plot was the Princess had a powerful role in the movie rather than a vulnerable one like in the video games. What I also liked about the plot is that it stayed true to the video games whether that's from the action scenes or to the music. I've given the movie a 7 which I've rated as a kid's movie; if this movie was made to be targeted to adults then it probably be a 6 or maybe even a 5.
The World's End (2013)
It was decent for the most part, but became less interesting towards the end
I was intrigued right from the beginning when you are introduced to Simon Pegg's character who seems to not have grown up and is trying to reunite with his old friends to go on a pub crawl. The movie takes a turn when they realise most of the people in their old Town have been turned into robots who are trying to force them to be just like them. I was interested in the story, but as it went on I felt less interested because it was not as thrilling as I wanted it to be and I felt the writers didn't know how to end the movie as it felt anti-climactic. On a positive note I thought the action scenes were ridiculous, but in a good way.
X-Men (2000)
Became unsatisfying towards the end
It was disappointing that I didn't like the movie in the end because I thought the plot was decent up until around the 1 hour mark, but the last 30 or so minutes of the movie were not as thrilling as I expected. I felt like the members of the x-men should've had a bigger role in the movie as they barely spoke, especially Halle Berry's character. This made me not really like the x-men and I wasn't really rooting for them as I felt I had no real connection with them. On a positive note I thought the action scenes were decent for their time and I thought Hugh Jackman portrayed his character well.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
It was longer than it needed to be, but it was still decent
The movie starts off where it left off in the previous movie which I didn't remember because I had only seen it once which was nearly 4 years ago. The story focuses on the manhunt for John Wick who is trying to survive the massive onslaught of people trying to kill him. The story was pretty intriguing throughout, however I felt like parts of the movie were longer than they needed to be like the fight scene in Japan which became less thrilling as it kept going. The action scenes were good, but just like in other John Wick movies I find them a bit ridiculous how 1 man is somehow managing to kill hundreds of people.
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Crazy plot
The movie started not how I expected with Tom Cruise playing as Austin Powers in a fictional movie based on him which I think would've been better than the actual movie. As you would expect from Austin Powers movies the plot is crazy, but the plot was so much crazier that it didn't really matter if you followed it or not. Whether you like this movie or not is based on how many jokes there are and how funny the movie is and although there were a few funny moments, it was not as funny as the first movie. Can someone explain why Beyonce was in the movie because I felt like her role felt pointless and she didn't portray her character as well as Austin's love interests in the previous 2 movies.
