Lots of fun!
I was a fan of the first Transformers movie, but they got a little too over the top after a while. This one brought the fun back. Interesting characters, cool effects and a decent storyline. I didn't even mind John Cena in this one(not a big fan). Everything played out well and I really enjoyed it being set in the 80s. The action was intense and not overdone like some of the other transformers movies. I highly recommend this one for the whole family. Worth a watch!

Ok
This movie had plenty of potential. But I think it did what so many movies do and didn't give it an actual ending. The acting was decent. The effects and action aren't too bad, either. The story was ok but had a lot of predictable parts and not much in the way of surprise twists. It tried but they didn't come of well. Over all this was not a terrible 'alien invasion' movie. But could've been much better. All in all it's worth a watch if you're bored.

Not bad
So I've seen all the other movies from The Conjuring series so I had to see this one. It turned out pretty good. The acting was as good as the others and the cinematography/effects were really good. The story started ot a little slow but once things started happening they kept on going. A little predictable but still got me with a couple jump scares. The creepy factor is definitely there too. All in all if you liked the others you'll like this one too. Worth a watch!

Well done
Took me a while to decide to watch this movie because I love the original and am not a fan of remakes. That being said, this one was very well done! The story had a little more to it than the original but it made it more interesting. Things seemed to happen faster in this one, as well. The cinematography and effects were terrifically done and kept the intensity flowing well. Even if you've seen the first one and kinda know the plot story, this one will still entertain. DEFINITELY worth a watch!

Great dialog with awesome quotable lines (4 more)
Just a good time in the theater
special effects at the time
A quintessential 80's flick.
Remember if someone asks you if you are a god you always answer yes....
This was groundbreaking stuff at the time, and is still a lot of fun today!
This movie has inspired so much in the cinematic universe, and was just a really fun time in the theaters. plus here are some really great alternate movie posters. Enjoy, and if you haven't seen it... get to it....

An alright fantasy film with a serious message.
A lovingly told story with that theme that seems to run through most stories - Good vs. Evil. It's not really an anti- meat eater film but more focusses on how consumerism has made the breeding of animals money orientated. Greed then subverts compassion. Great stints put in by Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhall and Paul Dano.

LOVE THIS FILM!!!
I can watch this film every day for a week and still love it as much on the Sunday as I did on the Monday!
Robin Williams yet again MAKES this film! His battle with Captain Hook, and learning about his past...
It is funny, light hearted and a perfect film to watch with the family.
Also considering the time it was made, aside from the croc, the effects in this are really good! But I think that the croc looks fake on purpose... or is that just me?

Psychic+ghosts
I saw this one on Amazon. It was pretty creepy once it got past the slow start. The storyline itself was pretty interesting. It was ultimately about secret governmental testing on people in the past. The characters were ok. Not a lot of depth to them but the acting is mediocre. The effects and camera tricks could've been a little better but they conveyed everything well enough. Overall I'd recommend it if you're into creepy ghost stories. Worth a watch.

Find this one in Amazon. It's in German with English subtitles but was a pretty interesting sci-fi thriller. The acting was decent enough and the effects weren't too bad. The story unfolds a bit slow but it's interesting enough if you pay attention. It's definitely an interesting idea. Involves the concept of space travel to other passengers because of what we have done to earth and he technology is used by the "government" to fool us into believing there's a utopia like planet that we've habitated. Worth a watch if you're bored.
