Plays great tribute to the silent era of films (1 more)

Great stop motion Cthulhu

It is made too imitate a classic silent movie which means it's going to be primitive in its production values and effects this movie is not going to be for everybody (0 more)

The Rock is great, as always. Except maybe that tooth fairy thing. (1 more)

Great special effects!

This review is going to be very simple. Because this is a simple movie.

Sometimes, you just want to see a "I don't have to think about anything, and I can still be entertained" movie. This is one of them. I mean, it's based on a video game with the same idea. Just smash! Three giant monsters, smashing a city. Some silly T.M.N.T. backstory about a mutagen changing an albino gorilla to a white King Kong. And then "Let them fight!" That's it! It's held together by Dwayne Johnson & the others in the film. To be honest, I don't even remember who's in the movie with him. But it doesn't matter. The film is fun. Maybe a little intense for little kids. But some days, you just want to sit back & watch some great special effects & big things crushing little things. When that happens, here's a film for you.

Marvels Magnum Opus

Contains spoilers, click to show

This is absolutely Marvels masterpiece, brilliantly writen,brilliantly acted all around a great finisher to what has been an epic journey.
From the start when they come up with the plan to reverse the effects of the snap.
To the middle where the execution comes in.
To the end with the epic and I mean epic battle.
We see a new side to a few characters,
Tony Stark is the most human he has ever been.
Captain America commits his first ever selfish act but we can forgive that as everything he's given up in the pursuit of justice, it seems fair recompense.
The way Black Widow sacrifices her life for Hawkeye is so absolutely selfless.
And of course Fat Thor is hilarious.
This will always be in my top ten films of all time and is absolutely the best finisher I have ever seen to a saga.
Marvel wins the world in films.

Classic 80s

Hellraiser terrified me as a youngster, and even now it stills scares me yet not quite in the same way it used to. It is your typical 80s horror film - questionable acting, typical fashions, a rather overbearing score and some pretty impressive (for the time) physical effects. The story is an interesting one and actually quite good, it’s just a shame it’s very over the top 80s. The physical effects are very good but again watching it back now, they’re rather dated and it’s surprising that Pinhead and his friends get such a small amount of runtime despite them being the most memorable things about this film. It’s definitely a horror classic and I’m fairly surprised this is one that hasn’t been rebooted for the modern generation. I’d love to see a version of this that was a scarier and a little less 80s. Still this original is the stuff nightmares are made of!
