Kevin Wilson (179 KP) rated Cool as Ice (1991) in Movies
Jul 16, 2018
Horrible acting (3 more)
Characters are not likeable
Lack of plot
Rap music
Errr what was it about again?
I found this to be a horrible movie and so boring. I went into it hoping it was going to be so bad it's good but it wasn't.
Firstmost I hate rap music so this was not for me. The dancing was fun but that's all there was.
I could not explain the plot to you, I didn't get it. Vanilla Ice's character was not likeable 1 bit and the other characters felt as bad. I don't even remember any of the characters names. However I do feel the female lead did the best with what she was given. The writing was pretty horrible.
Completely forgettable, wouldn't watch again. If your going to watch it for a laugh, have a few drinks with some friends.

Very funny (2 more)
Terry crews!!!! and other funny cast
Fun idea
Bad ending (1 more)
Some people may find it too stupid and ridiculous
A lot of fun, dont take it seriously
I had a lot of fun with this movie. The idea was certainly funny and interesting. What the world would be like if only dumb people survived. Opens the movie up to some funny scenarios and jokes.
Plus...Terry Crews, what's not to love. I loved the cast in general. All brought something to the movie and was all great.
Very funny and definitely some laugh out loud moments. Not the greatest movie and it's not meant to be. And definitely don't take this seriously. Go into this expecting stupid fun and you will enjoy it.
I did think it was a bad ending but wasn't sure how else they could have ended it to be fair.

You know what, re-reading this with 8year old was eye opening, she was so excited and loved every second and her figuring out what was going on was just a joy to experience, we've now started book 2 together - but upped my rating to 4 instead of 3 because ... experiencing it into someone elses eyes was great
Whooops I forgot to update I read this - it was alright - I had seen the movie though and think that influenced me a bit.. wish I had read the book first - I think the next books will be better - only watched movie #2 once a long while ago and then I don't think I continued with them. It wasn't bad though and daughter now asked to listen to them since I have it on audible that's what we do during supper time - perhaps that's a bad habit - ah well..............

Excellent fight choreography (1 more)
Good casting choices
Terrible plotline (1 more)
Bad scriptwriting
Pretty Decent Adaptation
The best element of the Assassin's Creed film adaptation has to be the fight choreography. It was so skilfully done to the best of the choreographers', stunt doubles', and actors' abilities, and it paid off. The casting choices were also commendable as Michael Fassbender was the perfect choice for the leading role of Cal and I am unable to picture anyone else playing that role. But I have to admit, the plotline and the writing weren't up to modern film standards; meaning they completely fell through. I love this film, but if it was written better with a much better plotline, it would not go into the 'bad film adaptation' pile. Overall, I wouldn't call this an award-winning film, but it is very entertaining to watch and the fight scenes are incredible.

Guts Over Fear
The Equalizer- i love this movie. I remember when i saw this back in 2014 and i loved it. The acting, the drama, the suspense, the violence and Denzel. A good guy gone rogue. A good guy gone bad. Who knows his skills and will use his skills to the test to kill bad guys.
The plot: Robert McCall (Denzel Washington), a man of mysterious origin who believes he has put the past behind him, dedicates himself to creating a quiet new life. However, when he meets Teri (Chloƫ Grace Moretz), a teenager who has been manhandled by violent Russian mobsters, he simply cannot walk away. With his set of formidable skills, McCall comes out of self-imposed retirement and emerges as an avenging angel, ready to take down anyone who brutalizes the helpless.
Its a excellent movie and a must watch film.

I was really liking this--it would have got 5 stars!--if not for the whole progression of the relationships with the guys. That sounds like I think it was a bad thing but it seemed rather unfair in my opinion that she didn't sleep with them all. But then that sounds bad to me, too.
It's a little complicated and maybe I'm biased because yeah, five hot guys, but only two have had the right connection/shown enough guilt over what they've done previously for me to want Marnye to get with them and that's the two Z's; Zach and Zayd.
I have no idea how she's going to pick which of these guys she wants. Tristan, I think, is still interested in Lizzie. Creed is trying his hardest to be worthy. Windsor (love the take on the name) is a hard one to figure out.

Not The Bad
This Remake/Reboot of Planet of the Apes isnt that bad. The action is good, the acting is good, the sci-fi is good. Its that ending that made no sense. Im not sure why people didnt like this film, that its one of the worst remake's/reboots of all time. Its not their are others remakes/reboots that are worst than this.
The plot: Astronaut Leo Davidson whips through space and time to a world where apes and gorillas rule the humans. Captured, he is nurtured by Ari and hunted by General Thade as he leads a rebel group of humans and chimpanzees in search of his downed craft. This is his only hope of escape and, ironically, the planet's only hope of shaking off the tyranny of the gorillas, allowing peaceful humans and chimpanzees to co-exist.
I think its a good film.

Anethor movie based off of a board game
Contains spoilers, click to show
So im not sure why this movie happened, but it happened. This movies prequel is better than this. Thats how bad this movie is.
DescriptionFollowing the sudden death of her best friend, Debbie, Laine finds an antique Ouija board in Debbie's room and tries to use it to say goodbye. Instead, she makes contact with a spirit that calls itself DZ. As strange events begin to occur, Laine enlists others to help her determine DZ's identity and what it wants. As the friends delve deeper, they find that Debbie's mysterious death was not unique, and that they will suffer the same fate unless they learn how to close the portal they've opened.
So this movie makes no sense at all. Also micheal bay produced this movie so thats why its bad.
Dont bother watching this film, i would reccomend the prequel.
