I) "Hancock"
1) PROS:
A) This had typical Will Smith humor (sadly, that didnt take it far).
B) The bank scene (his 1st scene as an actual hero) was pretty cool.
C) ... ... ...
2) CONS:
This movie started out good.. slow.. but good.
The 1st half was pretty cool & different..
& the 2nd half even started out being impressive (the bank scene).
But, w/ about 30 min. to go.. it started going down-hill...
Barely anything made sense, & it seemed like they started to make up stuff as
they went along (the writers)... NOTHING was hardly explained..
Now, you may ask: "whats there to explain? He Starts-out as a superhero..."
Well, the story waits till the last 25 min. to give you peices & bits of
their attempt of a half-@$$ed, mysterious origin.. but Theron only gives words such as: "we" , "they" , "where".. & thats about it.. out of 100%.. they have you 9% of any facts or clues. Plain-&-Simple: this movie f***ed-up.
OVER-ALL: (**) (thumbs down)
II) Hellboy II The Golden Army
1) PRO:
Well, this was a tricky movie for me (before I saw it)...
Like I said in the July-Previews, I'm not much of a Hellboy fan...
The 1st installment, was alright.. not really a movie of mine.
But my 1 friend, does like Hellboy alot, so, of course I would see it..
but, lets just say, I wasnt 100% looking forward to it..
So, I walk in, sit down, & think to myself: "Wow, I'll be lucky if I make it through this & get outta here"... BUT, I really liked it. It was WAY better than I thought it would be, pretty good. One of the biggest pleasant & unexpected surprises of 2008 blockbusters.
OVER-ALL: (***) (Thumbs Up)(See It)
III) Step Brothers
1) PROS:
Will Ferrel & John C. Riley are a great comedy team, & its good that we get 1 movie from them almost every year; but they really should make a little more.
2) CON:
Its a shame it was rated "R", cause there was ALOT of stuff in this movie that 13-15 year olds would've loved.
OVER-ALL: (**) (Thumbs Up) (See It)
*I Reviewed "The Dark Knight" In The Very Post Right Before This*
