What happened?
I understand that these are 'basically' reboots of the first films, so in the first movie I really enjoyed the little homages to the original Jurassic Park. But this one felt like nothing but sad grabs at past glory.

I mean, there's only so many times a dinosaur can roar against a dramatic background before you start yawning, you know?

And as for the acting - Chris Pratt, as usual, was good. But the rest? Meh. No one stood out.

Even my mom, who is a diehard Jurassic Park fan, commented that she had no desire to see the third movie at all.

"Being John Malkovich mashes different genres and spins everything on its head. Spike Jonze tends to do that — he’s got his own unique take on the world and I love it. He’s probably the number one director that I would love to work with. Charlie Kaufman is one of my favorite writers too. John Cusack is so good in that movie — just so sad but yet so funny — and Cameron Diaz killed it in that role too. That’s my favorite of hers. The fact that Malkovich even agreed to do the movie is such a fun element within itself. It works on many levels."

Movie Favorite

"Well recently I watched Grand Illusion, which I haven’t seen in several years — no, I’ll say another one instead: There’s one called Toni, that’s Jean Renoir before Grand Illusion, before Rules of the Game, and it’s set in the south of France and they’re Italian immigrants who’re working, who’re laborers working in the South of France. It’s very beautiful, kind of lyrical and very sad; a great Renoir movie. I don’t know if it’s seen that much anymore. It’s great."

After watching the first Deadpool and laughing harder than I had in a long time at the movies, I couldn't think of any way that they could improve on the anti-hero's story with a sequel. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and new characters that were introduced along with the reappearance of beloved old faces. Deadpool's growth in this movie, while hilarious, was refreshing to see despite the sad undercutting of a death early on. Many times during the movie they introduce topics and people that at first has you confused and thinking that it was probably a terrible decision, quickly leads to you loving every second. Although I never thought that I would say it before watching this movie, in my opinion, this is one case where the sequel might be better than the original.

What Lies Within Inside
How come no one is talking about this, how come no one has seen this movie. People should know about this movie and see it, cause it is powerful, epic, sicken, disturbing, and over a phenomenal movie with a message.

The Plot: A tenacious attorney uncovers a dark secret that connects a growing number of unexplained deaths to one of the world's largest corporations. While trying to expose the truth, he soon finds himself risking his future, his family and his own life.

It is based on the 2016 article "The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare" by Nathaniel Rich, published in The New York Times Magazine.

Parts of the story were also reported by Mariah Blake, whose 2015 article, "Welcome to Beautiful Parkersburg, West Virginia" was a National Magazine Award finalist, and Sharon Lerner, whose series "Bad Chemistry" ran in The Intercept. Robert Bilott, the principal character in the film, also wrote a memoir, Exposure, detailing his 20-year legal battle against DuPon.

Mark Rufflo does a fantastic job in this film and so does Anne Hathaway and Tom Robbins.

Its really sad that not aot of people know about this story, its also sad that no alot people seen this movie, that no one is talking about, cause like I sais before it is disturbing and sicken. Makes you think what else are companies and coperorations are hidden for us.

This movie is my 3rd favorite film that i have seen this year, right behind Endgame and Joker. A must see if you havent seen it or know about it.

I was hesitant going into the theater for this one. I read a few reviews before I went... Which was dumb. I loved this movie. Matthew Vaughn directs very beautiful violent scenes. I also loved Eggsy. I was a little sad that Merlin was killed off. Also, going into it, I wasn't sure that bringing back Harry or, Galahad Sr, was a good idea. But, the way he was worked back into the story, I was alright with it. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it again.

Captain America: The First Avenger where I was finally sold on the concept of the Avengers in the MCU (I am not a RDJ/Tony fan). I love period films, so I was all for it. The characterization of Steve Rogers was spot on. Hugo Weaving was good as Red Skull, and I'm sad that the character won't be brought back ever. Hayley Atwell as Peggy is one of my favorite characters out of the whole MCU, and her intro in this movie was great.

Great way to approach different emotions (1 more)
Upbeat while dealing with sensitive matter
Love love love love love it
Absolutely adore this movie.
It is a great way of explaining different emotions & how sometimes we can be happy one moment then sad the next to both younger children & people that may have issues regarding emotions.


It addresses some sensitive issues while still managing not to become too depressing.

It's not just because I love all things Disney that I love this movie. The music score is perfect for what is happening. It addresses something that we all experience at one point or more in our lives, and helps normalise the feelings we may have during the change.

Can't wait until my son (1 year old) is able to sit through a full movie as this is one of the many disney movies I plan on getting him to watch.

Really wanted to love this
Ok, so this is not a bad review, it's a sad review. I was looking forward to this new installment ever since the first trailer. The cast was intriguing. Anything with Sterling in it is gonna grab my interest. However, I tried watching this movie on five different occasions and just couldn't be dragged into it fully. I finally forced myself to sit down and watch it in its entirety and its nothing to do with the cast they're fine it's just really not that interesting of a story. I can't pinpoint exactly what I think is wrong with it and maybe that's the problem. Maybe this story just doesn't serve a purpose and that's the sour taste it left in me.

Stories that are just marketing ploys never do well and I think this movie is a testament to that fact. This movie has the feeling it was only made so there could be another Predator movie not because it was a story that needed to be told and I'm utterly disappointed that that was the outcome.
