Brave 2012



I'm going to talk about the build up I had with this movie, because I think it affects the way I saw it and therefore what I thought about it. So before I say what I think I'm gonna talk about it from the beginning.

I hadn't heard about this movie until I saw a trailer for it on Youtube. Then I saw that it was a Disney movie and I've had my history with Disney. I grew up with it and most of what I say, what I've learned comes from those movies, my humor comes from Disney, Disney is my whole childhood...... So, lately I've had my share of disappointments with Disney. I've noticed more and more that they're just doing a movie for the money, not to have a lesson learned or... yeah, a good moral to teach your children. Lately they haven't succeeded my expectations and they've just disappointed me al together so for a while I stopped watching Disney because I was tired of being disappointed of a company that practically raised me...

Then this movie popped up on my radar and I watched the trailer, american version.... I thought they were going to do another movie where they concentrate too much on the comedy and screw the story, like they did with Pirates of the Caribbean 2. But then I watched the japanese trailer and DAMN! That trailer made me shiver. I was intrigued to see the movie thanks to that trailer! That trailer was awsome! After that I was stuck on the movie, I listened to the music, I watched clips from it.... I was hooked and I just wanted to know more on how the story would be and what they were doing with it!

.... I must stop watching the new Disney movies... Another disappointment... I'm getting so tired of this! What's happening to you Disney?

Ok, so what's the story? .. Freaky Friday. Yeah! It's Freaky Friday! From the trailer and the beginning the narrator talks about fate and how she wants to change it and the movie is called BRAVE and... You're doing a Freaky Friday story..... *dies of disappointment* ......... OK, I'm back!
So it begins with our main character, the princess, is getting married. But she doesn't want to get married. She wants to be free and have an adventure, to go out and do whatever she wants! So she goes to a witch in the forest and asks for a spell that would change her fate. "Change my mum! That would change my fate right?" ... What?! You could've..... You could've gone SO far with this! Another fate! Another world! Start off with the cliché and then go for another thing in the end, something compeletly different! Do something with this!! No... We get Freaky Friday ><!!! So yeah, after this..... Her mother change into a bear. ... what..? And after that they're just learning from each other and of course they learn something about the world around them as well... It's Freaky Friday meets Brother Bear ><! Haven't you gone further from that?! ... Apparently not.

The things that are good, because I actually liked a lot before the story ruined everything! The animation is great of course! At least there they are improving. So it was really nice to look at... But really.. I just rather watch How to train your Dragon because it's the same animation and a better story.
The music is FANTASTIC! Check out the Soundtrack because it's really beautiful!

The witch I liked! I thought they were gonna go for a really comedian witch and screw the character. But no! They went for a really beliveable side to her and she was really funny to watch!
So was the princesses father! He was hillarious! And I really loved him! They didn't went too far with this character like they could have. I was so satisfied with that character! And it made sense that the princess would want to be a free spirit because her father was a free spirit and she looked up to him.
Her brothers were really enjoyable too. Once again, I thought they were going to go too far with these character too, but... At one point they do, but they're not in the movie for that long so that's fine. Most of the characters were really funny to watch......... They're just in the beginning and the ending... The rest of the movie focuses on the princess and the mother.

The mother is terrible! I'm sorry, I did not like her! She was just stereotypic! They wanted a mother that didn't listen and were just demanding and..... Yeah, that's it! She doesn't listen and she's demanding but the WORST part is... In the end SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!! she doesn't learn anything! It's just the princess that learns a lesson and not the mother! So in the end she's still probably demanding and doesn't listen because she doesn't learn anything! I HATE THAT!!

I'm gonne be quick here because I have a time limit so I'm just gonna talk about another thing that bothered me... The pacing of this movie was HORRIBLE! It went through too fast, and there was just two scenes in the whole movie that took it's time and it was in the beginning before the princess meets the witch and at the ending when you have the little cry scene. And it was really annoying! It went really fast so you werent really allowed to take in the beautiful sets or to glance over the character when they interacted with each other! It just passed through really fast, if you blinked you probably would've missed it.

So to sum up... The things that was really bad about this movie were just three things. The story, the mother and the pacing. That's it! And apperantly that's all you need to destroy a movie! You have to think about the story first! And role with it! Think about what you've done before, how you can improve something you've already done and if you can bring something new in a well way... If you can't? It's just a waste of time, energy and money! THINK PEOPLE, THINK!

So that's my disappointment of Brave! .... I'm never gonna trust a commersial from Japan again... They make it too great -.-

The three Musketeers



... I didn't like it.

I've seen many The three Musketeers even the Barbie one and it's embarrassing to confess that The Three Musketeers was WORSE than the Barbie one!

I'm talking about the one with the Orlando Bloom in it and I happen to like Orlando Bloom so that's not why I didn't like it! So let's move on!

There's really no reason to explain the story because you all know it. Some person working closely to the king wants more power so he's scheming to achive that goal and so on and so on... I have no idea how his plan to achive power works so don't ask me! I wasn't really paying attention to it because to me, it didn't really matter. So the movie is much about the three musketeers have broken down and trying to find their way back to the justice and everything.... Well... As much justice as the musketeers could give being so impatient and rebellious. Oh well! Little story, many flaws so let's move on!

I'm gonna start with the things I did like. The acting was pretty good. And the casting was good too. I liked seeing the people interact with each other... OK, I didn't like the King... But still, the actor who played him did well. I saw what they were going for and they successed with the very scene he was in because they had cast that person perfectly. So yeah, the acting was good and the casting.

The other thing I did like was the music. When the movie opened I thought I was going to have another experience like I had with TRON Legacy. But no, the music wasn't THAT awsome but never the less.. It was still pretty good and suited well with the theme.

Ok, now move on to the things I didn't like... Which one do you want to hear first? The biggest one? Ok!

It's actually two big things and both of them have to do with the style. I don't like that this movie has been told A MILLION times.. When this came out I was really sceptic to another Three Musketeers movie because... How can they do another version of this? Everybody has done it allready so stop it! Yet, I think it came at the same time as the Sherlock Holmes movie and that movie I liked. So I wanted to see this to see if they could do something diffirent like that movie did.... No. They don't. The style, characters, story, EVERYTHING has already been done in a MILLION movies involving the Three Musketeers. Why was this movie made, lots of money put into a story we've already heard SO many times -.-? Seems like a waste of time and money.... Oh well!

The other big thing was the humor... Damn this humor -.-! It feels like the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie where they were taking too much concentration to the humor and forgot everything else! They should be writing a adventure but the comedy came in the way... So the comedy was EVERYWHERE and it was childish and... It just made me sigh and not laugh and I was quickly bored by the movie just because of all the laughter they were trying to pull out of me.

So there's the two big things I didn't like... It pretty much sums up why I don't like it. It's done and tries too much.
Now I'm going to talk about the ending so... SPOILERS!

SPOILERS!!
The ending is... I have no idea... It just shows that this movie was unenesessary... To my part! Nothing really changes from the beginning of the movie.. The evil man isn't brought to justice, the king is still a brat and the people haven't been freed from an unjustice world. Nothing was accomplished! The only thing that were was the four people coming together and fight for another day. Nothing else changes. And it's pretty frustrating! Isn't the meaning of showing a piece of someones life that the person accomplished SOMETHING in that time period? Isn't that the meaning of showing it, or telling it? Have I missed something o.O?

I don't recomend this movie. I recomend the Barbie version instead of this! o.o ... That's bad. But the movie is good, so you shuold look into it. For a Barbie movie.. It's more than I expected. So.. yeah... I'm out...

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - On stranger Tides




I can't really talk about this movie unless I mention what I thought of the other movies.. But I'm gonna keep it short.

The first movie.. LOVED IT! It was SO good and I remember that it brought back the pirates and EVERYBODY was talking about this movie and the characters and everything in it! It was SO good! I've lost count on how many times I've seen it and heard about it.

The second movie... Damn! They really lost it here. I don't remember much of it because I've only seen it once and that was enough! The comedy took over and it was nothing but jokes through the whole movie and that was really painful to watch because it's not a comedy! It's an adventure movie! So knock it off!

The third movie... I remember everyone said in the papers that this was going to be the next "Lord of the Rigs" .. So of course they were going to do a third movie... Of course they brought up a fellowship then! After I saw this I could point out SO many things that were in the Lord of the Rings that they had stolen! .. or borrowed! .. Either way I didn't like it. This movie only left me with ONE good scene that was enough that I watched it twice. And it had some good jokes here and there and the CGI looked nice at times.

Now we got the fourth movie.......

Can I please erase this movie from my memory? Please dear God, let me forget this movie ever exist?
... Yeah, this is going to be a negative review and if you REALLY love this movie and can't handle another persons oppinion... Go away! For the rest of you... I'm gonna try to be fair to the movie, but it's probably going to be really hard since I'm very disgusted by this movie. With that said, let's summorize the story.

The plot in short is that Jack wants to find the Fontain of Youth so he comes across Blackbeard and his daughter. He has to cooperate with them to find the Fontain of Youth and they have to cooperate with him... for the exact same reason. Yeah, these movies don't really explain how they come to certain solutions. At least not what I've noticed. But as what I can coprihate is that Jack knows the way to the Fontain of Youth and that's why Blackbeard cooperates with him and Jack needs a ship and that's why he cooperates with Blackbeard. Something like that. So on their way they come across the England crew and the Spanish crew that are also in it for the Fontain of youth.... So there is three crews that are looking for this one thing.... This is going to be needlessly complicated. Oh! And there's a romance in there... Ok, two, one with Jack and one with a guy that they met on Blackbeards ship... And that romance is only revealed in the mittle of the movie. And that's pretty much the story. Three crews are looking for the Fontain of youth and we follow their path to equir it. ... That's it! Next step!

So what did I think what was good with this movie... Actually I found two things I liked. I liked the lighting. It was REALLY nice and it helped feel the mood in every scene. Also the colors really poped with this lightning and it was SO good so thank you guy who did the lighting! If I ever make a movie, I will call you!

The other thing was the mermaids. I know people really like these mermaids but... Yeah! They're really good! The design of them is... OK. I'm going to be fair, they were a little stupid, but yeah, I kind of liked them anyway. The lightning really helped and the fact that they looked wet all the time! I've seen some mermaids that are dry the minute they're out in clean air. So I really liked that they were wet all the time. Second, I loved how innocent they looked before they became these evil, hungry monsters and they were really beautiful actually... At least I thought so! The song the first mermaid sings stuck with me very long and that scene was FABULUS! The mood was set SO well and it looked great and I was really hooked by it! So yeah, that scene was great! What I didn't like about them was when they turned into the hungry monsters.... Hear me out on this. The design was silly because I thought about this: They were mermaids who got bitten by a spider and a vampire.... Doesn't that sound silly? How I got to this conclusion: They had teeth like vampires (If you're going to make a monster mermaid, why not look at predator fishes? Like sharks or piranha?) and they could shoot seaweed out of their arms! .... That's silly. But other than that it was great!

The things I didn't like? ... Everything else? Ok, to be short I'm gonna say that the things I didn't like was how much they did the first movie again, or destroyed it like HELL! So now I'm probably gonna do some spoilers so... Be careful because they're coming now! Ok! So you can really play the first movie bit by bit except for a few things that was even worsely(is that even a word?) done here than in the first movie! First of, the reveal of Jack Sparrow isn't anything groundbreaking! It's like: Yeah! You know what he looks like by now so we're not going to bother with a big reveal! We give him a giant wig and some white beard and disguise him as a judge and you'll still be able to spot him by the way we are shooting! Isn't that fun? ....... Is the pirate who tricked Will Turner into coming with him to capture the Black Pearl without ANY disguise what so ever, disguising himself as a judge to free another man from hanging? ... Is the same man who dodge a hanging  himself without any disguise really disguising himself as a judge?! ... You've really lost it on who Jack Sparrow was in the first movie right? Oh, well... They at least try to connect him with the first movie since they have him REPEAT the lines from the first movie!! I'm not even kidding! The first half is pretty much made up by the first script! He says SO many lines that he said in the first movie but they did not connect as well as they did then! Here they really sound out on what lines they have stolen as to say: Do you remember this line from the first movie? ... YES! I do! So can you please leave them to that movie so that I can't quote them to THIS movie! .. Does that make sense? No? Good! Then you have some sense!

SPOILERS
And also... Why is Jack blond in the first half of the movie? .. Does he have time to dye his hair? Does he really have the money to dye his hair? Could you really dye your hair in that time period?! Oh well! So yeah, Jack is a repeatment of the first movie, do you want to talk about someone who's not? .. Are you sure you're ready for that? Really? This hurt me.. Real bad. Everytime this person cam to the screen I cried because it was so bad! ... Barbossa. They killed him. They brought him back to life so they could slaughter his whole existant in a slow and painful death and we had to watch them do it! .. I can NOT watch the first movie and have some dignity for Barbossa while the memory of this movie is still in my brain! They killed him for me! ... MAJOR SPOILERS now... Barbossa have joined in to the English crew and are now working for the King and are the leader for the crew and he is leading them to the Fontain of the Youth. .... Can you believe that? The captain that was so scary in the first movie, the man who really was a pirate and stole jeweles from pretty ladies and went all out of his way to have the biggest treasure in the world not caring of the course it brought with it! This man who lured so many, killed his own crew to proove a point... This same man... is working for the King, in an honest way. Not killing or stealing anyone/anything. ... They destroyed him. ... Please God, let me forget this horrible crime of making Barbossa into an honest man? Yeah, he's really doing this undercover to take Blackbeard but.. He didn't need to. He didn't need to... *cries*

SPOILERS
Oh! And while we're on the subject of destroying the dignity of something.. Let's disguss the Black Pearl.... Damn what a horrible fate she suffered. The fearsome ship that had black sails and a crew black as night that didn't leave any survivors and were like a ghostship that swooped in, took what she needed and vanished into the fog... She sank! End of story!

And to you who thought this was only going to be a Jack Sparrow story? HAH! Jokes on you! Since Orlando and Kieara said since the second movie that they didn't want to do any more Pirates of the Caribbean they had to work in another love story! It's between the guy who is very religous (they don't make him as annoying as they could have so that's great!) and one of the mermaids! And really.. I had no problem with this. It was a story that I had heard before, but it was such a long time ago that I wouldn't mind see it again with this modern technology. The mermaids was the only thing I liked so to see this story again with those kinds of mermaids and that lightning and those colors... Damn I would be so satisfied... But no, we get a fourth movie with the title Pirates of the Caribbean because the fans really wanted to see more Jack Sparrow... Go see the first movie again then o.o He is still there if you see it again, I promise! So can you please leave the movie makers alone so they can devote their energy into making a piece of art instead of just a "request for the fans" because it doesn't turn out well then ><!

So yeah... I really didn't like this movie. It hurt me. Physically and psycological! I don't want to remember I saw it! It was THAT bad! So now I'm gonna devote my time to get it out of me!
Have a good day! Bye!

Inu x Boku SS


Here's another anime.... Bear with it!
It's twelve episodes so if you're interested.

The story is... Interesting. It satters around a bunch of magical creatures and in their fun way they tell us about these creatures that we come across. However when I'm watching something for the first time I don't really read these long texts and stuff so I have no clue about these creatures but that didn't suck me out of the story. It's mostly the typical thing where a girl that wants to be alone and grow up on her own find that people around her is much more fun to be with than just being on your own. We spend the first ten episodes learning about those characters. Nothing more than just character studying... Sounds boring? It isn't! These characters were really funny and they worked off each other very well and I personally wanted to see more of those characters just having fun. It felt like when you're with your wierd friends and you're just sitting around saying nothing, but enjoying every moment because their actions were so much fun. That's what it was in the first ten episodes. I won't spoil the last episodes for those of you who haven't seen this yet but I can at least say this: At first I thought I was going to be disappointed with the ending. I was really sceptical and thought this was going to be one of those animes that tries to have a story in the beginning but then, we were just having so much fun so the story doesn't matter anymore! But no! They really tie everything together and I was pleased with every single thing this anime gave me. It didn't disappoint me one bit. This also gives you a hint of balance since the main character and the love interest help each other to get stronger and together they can grow into strong people. That is so awsome to come from an anime like this!

I guess I should talk about the things I disliked about this but... So far I can't come up with anything! It probably have some problems but I'm just so damn in love with this anime right now that I can't see it's flaws so... Congratulations anime! You really succeeded! *claps hands*

So the good stuff... I will be really quick, I won't mention everything. But yeah, the characters were great! Event though you didn't get a backstory of everybody it really fits. The're are sidecharacters and not everybody is a main character that I've seen in some other animes that looks like this. The focus is still the main character and the love interest. But you still want to enjoy everyother character that this anime present....... Well, most of them. It's probably just my persobal oppinion but one of the characters was just... He irritated the shit out of me! Luckily he just shows up in like three episodes and he's not very long in them so... Lucky me! This anime is listening to me!

The music... I can't really remember the music so it musn't have been too horrible but nothing spectacular. So it doesn't stand out too much and it definitly doesn't drag you out of the moment so it's good enough.

The animation... Damn this animation. It was SO beautiful! The colors and the design of the characters and the whole animation... It was really well done and I'm picky with my animes must be well drawn or otherwise I can't concentrate on the story. This animation really fitted with the story and the type it was going for, in my oppinion so eberything really worked!


Now I'm gonna talk about the ending so... Yeah! Lots of love for this anime and I think you should definitly go see it and get your own oppinion about it!
The last three episodes we take a deeper look into the main character and her "bodyguard" (who are suppose to build up a romance between each other) and see their bakstory and much more on how they came to know each other and.. It's really well done and it's so interesting that you feel really emotional between these two. I haven't heard this veration of this story before, I've heard parts of it, but never a whole story that was like this... Or if I have I don't remember it.

And... I don't think I want to talk about that more. I don't want to spoil to much for you because it was a really nice surprize that this was in there. But it's so good that it deserved a mention of it. I haven't read the manga on this but with me loving this anime so much I don't think I want to. It feels like it would spoil the anime for me if I realize how much of it actually was changed around and stuff. But anyway! I think I've talked about how much this was great long enough so.... Yeah, go see it! ... Not in english dub though... I'm sorry but the english dub on the japanese movies are horrible. See it with english subtitle and you'll get everything much better. Also the voices mach their characters very well in the japanese version. Enjoy!

One Day




Ok, I've watched three movies in three days now and I'm starting to get frustrated because I didn't like any of them! Althuogh this is the only one I could properly talk about so... Here it is!

I was searching for new movies to watch and came across a movie that was called One Day. I saw that Anne Hathaway was going to be in it so I got hyped. So I read a little on what it was about got about... "Two people met at 15th July 1988 and decided to go on a date but stayed friends..." after that I stopped reading and watched it instead.... I wish I had read further because I have no idea what this movie was about.

I can't even summon the movie since I don't quite understand it. At first I thought it was going to be: we follow their development through every year on the same day... Well, yeah, just not every year.... OK, so the movie want to show how much everything changes in a couple of years? ... Well, sort of, it's more the cultural that changes than the people. Do we at least get development in their relationship? ... Well, no not at all.
So I'm really confused on what this movie wanted to do with this story. If you want a better summary on the story you can search more on google. I'm confused and I'm gonna tell you why.

The edeting in this movie helped with that confusion. In the beginning it felt like they didn't really cared on what was going on a year after they showed us a clip of their life. So we were given one clip and then when it's not really ended they cut to another year.... It was just one scene that wasn't even finished! But hey, that's not important! It's just filler because we need to get it into a 2 hour long movie! ... There was even a scene in like 5 seconds that represented one year and you only saw Anne Hathaway swimming.... "This has been another: pointless moment." So yeah, the editing was really distracting.

I said that the character didn't develope either. That's because they don't really have a personality. They have actions, but they lack motivation for their actions, or emotions all together. They show anger and sadness but when the movie tries to show when a character is in love.... They smile right? They kiss each other? Yeah! There's nothing more than that! They smile so smile a lot and act in love! ... Yeah... continue to think that and you'll be spinning on a pink cloud round and round in a circle too.

So the things I didn't like was the story, the characters and the editing... Is there something I liked? No! I couldn't even appritiate the acting because the characters weren't given any personalities! It was just what the movie wanted them to act and followed that... Motivation? Know what that is? You don't need to spell it right just understanding the word is enough. I got so bored with this movie that in the last hour I checked how much time it was left every ten minute! It was really boring and it felt like the movie was done two hours ago! So it felt really long, it was boring and I don't understand it. I don't know if it was written as a book before the movie but as a movie... It doesn't work.

So I don't recomend this movie... It wants to show something but it doesn't work at all. Hope the fourth movie I see I'll like.

TRON Legacy



I'm guessing this is a continueing story of the movie TRON but I'm not really sure. I haven't seen the first movie so I can't really talk about that. What I can talk about is the movie I actually saw and that was TRON Legacy!

I heard that this movie was supposed to be bad and... I think I can understand why people think that but honestly, I liked it. It isn't an awsome movie that gave me shivers like other movies and I saw some flawes in it, but.. Even so, I think I'm gonna see it again! Why? .... I don't know but continue to read if you want to know. Although there is where I have my spoilers so read my summary of the story first and see if you'll like it or not and then you can decide if you want to watch it or not. Ok! So let's begin!

Here comes the summary of the story:
The story is REALLY simple. Find the lost dad and when you've find him, try to get home. It's nothing really complicated in the story, the only complicated thing is the world this movie have created. I kind of see something like I, Robot in this, although that movie was much better. So here I'm gonna explain from the beginning. It starts of with a father telling a story for his son, and the way I figure it's the plot of the first TRON movie. And that's pretty clever to do it like that. I who haven't seen that movie followed the story pretty well thanks to that... I think.. If you want to know that story, read the summary of Disney's TRON on IMDb. So soon after telling that story the father disappears, no one knows where he is, for 20 years! So the son has grown up to a punk, rebellious kid.... He's 27 but is still called a kid.... OK. But then he gets a message to come down to his fathers office and what does he find there? An old computer that takes him to the digital world his father spoke of in his story. And here's when the movie really lights up! .. Litteraly! It's neon lights EVERYWHERE! The kid, named Sam, goes through a survival test and sort of... Loses. But since he is a user, not a program, he gets special treatment and is presented to his father.... 's clone! In the previous movie his father created a clone to help him and a program named Tron to help the world. The clone is named Clue and he's still trying to go for the reason he was created. To create the perfect world. Although, for that to happen he has to take away the program's free will get rid of the users who opose him and... yeah, you can imagine where I get the I, Robot from. So Sam finally finds his dad and he have to convince his father to come home with him. You see... There is another complication. Since the father is the creater of the world his disk (there are special disks that records every movement and thoughts of what you do in this world.. If I understood that correctly) Anyway! His disk is the key to the portal that can transport Clue to the real world! That's why the father don't want to go with Sam because that would mean that Clue would have a better chance on getting that disc and take control over the real world. Ans that's pretty much all you need to know. The storyline is simple, but the world they created is not so that's a good balance to it. I think I understood it... most of it. But this is my interpretation.

I'm gonna start with saying what I think was bad in this movie and I think I'm starting with the short one. The title... I won't pick on the first movie since I haven't seen it! But... Why is it called "TRON"? He is mentioned like... Two times in the movie and that's in the last 30 minutes! And this movie is 2 hours long! It probably is a sequal... Or a remake... Or something! But that movie was made in 1982! This movie came out 2010! You are allowed to changed the title efter so much time. Especially since the carachter the title stands for... Isn't really in there! I think the title would be more like "The Grid", that's the name of the digital world. And you can continue that title! "The Grid - The legacy of TRON" or something like that! But yeah, it's a smaller thing that isn't THAT much of a bother. So let's move on!

The other thing that bugged me was the acting in this movie... Everyone seemed very stiff. No one talked naturally. It seemed like everyone was just reading a manuscript instead of having an actual conversation. I can understand the father for being stiff since his life really is upside down and nothing is like it was for him, but for Sam and Clue to be stiff? Come on! These are the characters that are supposed to have life! Sam is a rebellious kid who is 27 years old and is pretty smart! He shouldn't be stiff when he comes to another world! It was OK in the beginningbecause I'm guessing he was kind of shocked for showing up in a glowing city with glowing people who talked like robots! But... He was pretty stiff through the whole movie... And the actor who played Clue... It felt like he was holding back SO MUCH! I have no idea why... It felt like he had so much energy but was nervoud and couldn't really let go? I don't know... So.. The acting.. I wasn't a fan of it, sorry.

Now I'm gonna talk about the good stuff and saving the best for last. So what I'm beginning with is that this movie didn't seem rushed! It started out REALLY slow and I had a hard time to get into it, but in the middle I was really hooked up and I didn't want anything to disturb me! So yeah, slow in the beginning but kept my interest. And because it was such a simple storyline the movie could take it's time to explain everything that was going on. So yeah, that was really good! No rush! Great!

The other good thing was the colors... I REALLY liked these colors! For the "heroes" and neutral programers they kept them in a light blue/white neon light and for the "bad guys" they had a orange/red neon light. I really liked that! And that was the color of most parts of the movie. Mixed with black! And it looked great! For Clue however they gave him a yellow neon light and the first outfit he appears with... I WANT THAT! Oh well! So that was really nice to see! The colors where thing that attracted me to the movie and... Yeah! I really liked them! I was not disappointed with the colors!

I'm going to talk about the thing that was most awsome in this movie and then I'm talking about the ending for last! Is that Ok? ... Hope you didn't disagree with me there because that's what I'm doing.
In some point I shouted this to the TV screen: "Music, can you stop being so awsome?! I'm trying to concentrate on the story!" The music was so great that I ended up only listening to the music instead of the dialogue! ... Not good. But the music was really great! I think it belonged in this movie, the music didn't seemed forced in and it felt like... The composer was doing what he liked but also did it to a movie where it belonged! So that was really great! At some point I whished this movie could be a silent film because I really liked the music and the visual but not the dialogue. But I probably wouldn't get much of the story if they did that.

Now I'm gonna talk about the last thing... The ending. It felt like... Not rushed but it seemed like they forgot some things. It felt like they were saving things for a second movie. Like, in some point they say that TRON is alive but has been reprogramed into being Clue's soldier... And near the end... He becomes a good guy again... Not really sure why or how it happened but it happened! And... They leave him at the bottom of a big ocean with his neon lights just switching to blue/white. After that we see Clue interact with the father and asking if he did something wrong (it sounds better than it was because the acting here was really bad) he did what he was supposed to do, create a better world. And then we see the father sending his son back to the real world and destroying Clue and just as Sam gets back to real world the father makes all the lights from the Grid disappear... And that's it! ... Wait what? What happened with Tron? Did he die in that water? Can he swim? He's a program! I don't know. And what happened to the Grid? Did the father make it better? Did he give the free will back? Did he save the other programs from slavery? Or was the programers lost beoynd help and tried to resist? Still under Clue's grasp? I don't know! It just ends there! And it doesn't really stop, we see Sam interact with other people saying that he's more grown up and we end on him taking a ride on his bike, showing the real world to a... advanced program (I don't remember what she was but something like that). So yeah... It feels like they were saving some things for a second movie, but I don't know if that'll ever be. Well, maybe... It took 28 years to do a sequal so maybe the next sequal will come out in another 28 years? Don't know! Can't really see into the future.

But yeah, all together.. It has some good things in it and some bad things so it isn't an awsome movie and it has flawes but.. I still like it! Mostly because of the visuals and the music! Have to get the soundtrack it was that awsome! Hope you got a little help with this review and... Continue to read my stuff! Please! Bye!

The Darkest Hour



Ehum... Was this meant to be taking seriously o.O? Oh well! It feels like this movie was made because they just wanted to do cool stuff and see annoying people die.

... I didn't like it, but the effects were nice!

The story is about... I want to say a guy but the story is about nice effects so, the story STARTS with four people who meets coincidentally at a party in a foreign country and they're having a good time and they decide that they're gonna take a picture of the fun moment to their blog. 1. 2. 3. KLICK... Black out! The lightning in the whole city turns off and they think it's just a black out... Until they go outside and they see some sort of yellow Northern Lights. Then some kind of yellow electric balls that reminded me of jellyfish comes down to the ground and as soon as they touch the ground they turn invisible. A cop walkes towards the invisible jellyfish and is about to touch it with his baton when he suddenly is turned to dust! Panic! And everybody is running around afraid and you get really sucked in to the rush and I felt the panic to just get out of there.... but I wouldn't go inside a house to seek cover.... Oh well! The four people in the beginning survives the attack however together with a jerk and the rest of the movie is just see them running around and admire some good effects.

This was a Action pact Science Fiction and that says a lot. This is why I don't like action: Their characters have no personality, they're just there to help with the explosions and killing. I like movies that have their characters well developed and actually serve a more purpos than to fire guns! So that's the most reason I didn't like it. The parts where we didn't see the invisible jellyfishes were really boring and I was just waiting to see the action, counting the movie to end (and I really didn't like the ending) so that wasn't entertaining at all.

The effects however was really good and I like the idea of electrisoty hungry aliens and they were really nice done! The scenes with those were really creepy and they were really unpredictable! I had no idea what to expect from them and it was really scary.

Also they do explain, even though it was fast and you have to pay attention to it, but they explain it! .... I should tell you what they explain... Well, they explain what the creatures are and why they can't see them or if they see or hear humans and stuff like that. They go by things they know from the human world so they can't figure out where they came from or any of those things. But you get pretty much explained and I liked that.... However.. It was the guy who didn't attend to school that said all these things. It was the poor partyboy (or what ever you want to call him) who explained what they are and how they function.... Not his friend who really was smart! ... That bugged me..

About the ending.... If you haven't guessed yet.. SPOILERS!!!
I didn't like this ending because it went too fast. It felt like: "We have no idea how to make this a happy ending but... We got to have a happy ending! .. Somehow! We'll work it out!" Their sulution wasn't good at all. But that's how I feel about most action movies.. MOST OF THEM! So you can understand why since it's a movie that just concentrate on the action, if the action isn't happening... It's done! When I saw the credits I was like: "That's it? What? ... Nothing more? ... What kind of bad ending is that?!" So that wasn't pleasent either.

So the only thing that was good about this movie was the "aliens" jellyfishes and... It wasn't enough to get me to like it... I like my characters to be humans! Not screamy fire happy hamsters! But if you like that sort of thing, check it out! The effects are good so.. Watch it for that XD
Bye for now!
