Contains spoilers, click to show
I like the ward, dont get me wrong but its a good movie. It mess with you mind with twist and turns thought the movie. John carpenter comes back into the directors chair after almost 9 years gone after the failure of ghost of mars. John carpenter comes back into the pschological theme. This movie could of been more. Their are good parts in it, good jump scaries and amber heard was good. Other than that it was bad. Like i said it could of been more.
Horror fans should watch it, because in my mind it is a underrated horror film. Directed by a horror icon.

Writing is especially good
Acting
The Story itself (1 more)
Lots of holes in plot and moments that don't make sense...
Craftsmanship is excellent, the story is bad.... writing is good, to many holes in plot
I didn't even know what this was about when I saw it, and I knew there was hype, but not why.... I don't get why people like this movie so much. it's creepy and unsettling most of the time... yes there are tense moments, but I didn't care about any of the characters..... I just didn't want to see what would happen next.... for me that's not good. This movie is a shade below qualifying as horror.

You still can't even come close to the original Jumanji movie, but as a sequel to the modern version, it wasn't as bad as some people claimed it was. It's silly and cheesy, but the characters were in a video game. I thought they did alright for a second round of this movie. Lots of jokes about being old and not really understanding the game situation that they were in, but the jokes made sense for the characters. A lot of the same types of peril situations, but it was the same game that they went back into. Overall, it was still a fun movie to watch, if you enjoyed the first, or the premise of the story.

Interactive movie.
I've only played this game through once and I was rather satisfied with my ending but I was also rather disappointed.
We don't get all the answers to many of the questions the game puts to mind. It just sort of.. ends, without explaining further and I absolutely hated that about the game.
All in all the story was interesting but rather confusing. For an interactive movie it was okay but if I was rating it as a movie alone I'd have given it a much lower rating.
I also dislike how fast the options disappear from the screen. My eyesight is bad and it was difficult to read all the options before they disappeared.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Most Dangerous Game (1932) in Movies
Mar 25, 2020
(Can't see that movie about people being hunted for entertainment as all the cinemas are shut, so went for this instead (the daddy of the genre).) Much mimicked pulp adventure movie. Big-game hunter survives a shipwreck but pitches up on the private island of an insane Russian aristo who hunts people for sport.
Slots very nicely into the development of early-30s genre cinema - the premise vaguely recalls Dracula, while many of the key personnel would go on to make King Kong the following year. Still stands up well as an adventure movie in many ways; above average script, some rousing set pieces, and an enjoyably extravagant performance from Leslie Banks as the bad guy. The short running time does count against it though (the hunt only gets underway in the final third of the movie). One of the progenitors of the modern action blockbuster, and a fine movie in its own right.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Jason X (2001) in Movies

Deep Space Jason
So the reason why this film excist is because new line was just waiting for Freddy vs. Jason to happen. So while thier were waiting, their put out this. And ohh boy it was bad. So bad its good, yes its one of those movies. With already Hellraiser and the Leprechaun had movies in space, so the next villian to be up in space was no question Jason. Also this movie toke place in the future, oh my. So whats the plot then....
The year is 2455. The Place is Old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the most recent landing party of intrepid young explorers realize the fate that awaits them.
Their are intresting kills in this movie, also Uber-Jason that is a plus in my book.
The charcters are not intresting, dont even bother with them, expect for Jason. Jason is the only one that you should care about.
Would i reccordmend this movie, yes i would, even though its a dumb movie and that makes no sense. Its still a fun movie to watch.

Welcome 2 Jumanji
I’ll keep this short. Jumanji 2 wasn’t needed. It was enjoyable, but not necessary. It had its moments, after they got into the game, and it was surprisingly funny, but it still wasn’t needed.
Look out for the Robin Williams tribute, it’s a blink and you’ll miss kinda thing. Just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is, which is more of a Nickelodeon movie than a Jumanji movie. Basically, it’s what I expected “Legends of The Hidden Temple” to be like.
All of that being said, I did enjoy it, so I’m rating it rather high. If you loved the old Jumanji, there’s enough nostalgia that you’ll love this one, but not so much that it shoves it down your throat either.

I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it in theaters when it first came out and enjoyed it then and I've found myself watching it every once in a while just to revisit it. I really love the cast, I love the plot, I love the lightheartedness of it all. I don't think it's such a bad thing that it's not a movie that particularly pushes your brain to think too much. I like that it's a comedy and even more that they read Fifty Shades of Grey. I think the jokes are 10 times funnier if you've read those books because they make so much more sense.
It's a fun, lighthearted film that I'm sure will make you laugh - either because you think it's funny or because you think it's bad. Either way, a laugh is a laugh, right?

Pretty good
Another movie about people with special abilities- but not superheroes. A slightly more realistic take on how society might handle people like this. Not as flashy as most, but with decent effects and cinematography. At it's surface it tells a story about a young man trying to save his ailing mother. Something that leads him down a bad road. The acting in this movie was decent with some familiar faces. This movie has heart, life lessons learned through trials of trust and personal choices. In the end I think the story was a little more tragic than I expected of it. Nothing too flashy or gruesome, so it can be watched with the whole family(although the younger viewers may not understand all of it). Overall, this one is worth a watch on movie night!
