LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Species III (2004) in Movies
Oct 25, 2020
Some dude - "We need to just take a quick blood test from you"
Alien lady - *immediately removes all clothes so this can happen*
This sums up Species III - It's taken what little formula there was from the first two, and just added more boobs, and still, and this is important, it's quite possibly the most boring film I've ever watched.
Dull characters, dull gore, dull editing, dull script.
Also, the aliens look way worse than in Species II, and I just generally hated this film.
Unfortunately, the completionist in me is compelled to watch Species IV. Yay?

Good Cast..Stupid Movie
What the hell did i just watch!!.A bizarre and ridiculous movie that made no sense and moved at the equivalent snails pace as the zombies in the film itself.
No laughs,the underlying message of how we have an addiction to material things and a waste of some great actors are the main things you take away from watching this film.Oh and as for the ridiculous conversation between Murrays and Drivers characters at the end when they start discussing the script for the film is just silly beyond words.

David McK (3576 KP) rated Rush Hour 2 (2001) in Movies
Jan 15, 2021 (Updated Aug 3, 2025)
2001 sequel to the 1998 original, picking up with Carter and Lee in Hong Kong (see the end of 'Rush Hour'), effectively flipping the script from the first film on its head - now it's Carter who is the fish out of water.
However, when the American embassy is bombed and the trail leads to the triad its not long before they are both back on the job, ending up (in this case) in Las Vegas and a link to Chief Inspector Lee's past.
Not as funny as the first film, with Tucker seeming to dial the 'annoyingness' up to 11!

Clunky Script
A Good Lead Casting is Far Far Away
Its not The Last Jedi bad, but it nowhere close to being The Force Awakens good. Its main problem being that its leading actors struggle to bring a shred of charisma to the screen. Luckily the supporting cast did their job brilliantly and its the support that the film so desperately needed. Much like Rouge One did, Solo director Ron Howard delivers a very different looking Star Wars story and that is made very clear from the first shot. Visually, Solo invokes it inner Ridley Scott, and uses a very mixed bag in the use of it colour and lighting palettes that in any other movie might feel as if its been jigsawed together by three different directors. Somehow Solo has made this work to its advantage and by offering us answers to the key questions we might have about Hans Solo past “How did he meet Chewy?” and “How did he get the Millennium Falcon?” we can get through a very clunky and disjointed script with the end result being something watchable – just.
I cant shake the fact that i thought Alden Ehrenreich, facially, looks alot more like a young Jack Back than Harrison Ford. In fairness every now and again Alden captures a small something that made Star Wars fans fall in love with Hans Solo in the first place, but he mainly offers an uneven performance that made me forget that i was supposed to be watching a younger version of the charming rouge. Emilia Clarkes portrayal as the love interest, was as emotional barren as the plot offered through out the entire first act of the film, and combined, almost destroys the audiences ability to invest in the rest of the film at all.
However, the second act brings the arrival of Donald Glover pretty much nailing his role as a younger Lando Carlrissian, unfortunately the script makes this Lando feel like a bit of a character of obligation as oppose to a character of substance and necessity. The action scenes pick up, the usual special effects and musical score make things a little more “Star Wars-y” and the film becomes way more enjoyable. Knowing that these are its strengths, the film over indulges in them way to much, leading to lengthy action scenes over staying their welcome and forgetting to develop the subplots.
After an action heavy middle, the script tries do too much in the final act to reclaim its grasp on a story leading to a very laborious and tedious climax.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Gamera: Revenge of Iris (1999) in Movies
Mar 15, 2019 (Updated Mar 15, 2019)
Apocalyptic final instalment in Kaneko's trilogy takes the Japanese monster movie to places it has never been before or since. Amid signs of the man-eating Gyaos creatures reappearing in vast numbers, an embittered girl bonds with the life-draining Iris creature to seek revenge on Gamera after her parents were killed in his battle with the first Gyaos some years earlier.
Incomplete Struggle (a much better title to my mind) is much more of a fantasy film than the previous chapter in the story, once again playing cleverly with various tropes of Japanese monster stories. The script takes the trouble to include characters from both previous films (it is clearly intended as a grand conclusion to the story) and also explores notions of pre-millennial angst. Once again, the monster battles are superbly staged, but the big ideas explored by the film are also fascinating, even if some elements of the story are left a bit vague. What one person sees as vaulting imagination and ambition, another may see as the script getting a bit out of control; some may also have an issue with the deliberate lack of closure at the very end of the film. Nevertheless, this movie manages to give the Japanese kaiju genre a sense of majesty and gravitas it has seldom achieved anywhere else.

Ridiculous in the best way
This show is perfect for binge watching, the episodes are short and funny. The repetition of the plot both adds to the humor, and makes it a perfect show to watch while working on something else. Ted Danson and Kristen Bell play off one another extremely well, and the other supporting cast members fall into the world with a perfection I haven't witnessed since the Big Bang Theory. The jokes are basic and well placed resulting in a great experience all around.

An action flick with a brain
Affleck shines here, portraying an autistic badass respectfully and there definitely is an appropriate sense of dread present throughout the runtime of the movie. The supporting cast is also fantastic, Jon Lithgow and JK Simmons are as brilliant as you have come to expect them to be, but it is actually Jon Bernthal that steals every scene he is in. As expected Anna Kendrick adds a level of comic relief to the movie and she works well in contrast to Affleck’s more serious role. The writing and direction are solid and the score adds a lot to the film too.
