Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Description:

The Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.
                                               
Much worse than the previous movie. Absolutely no real explanations for most things that happen (at least the first movie had some explanations and back story, while this one lacked greatly). The movie, the way they did it, essentially only took 10 minutes tops, with relationship issues...when you really really get down to it. Susan just wants to have a normal family with Reed, but that's never going to happen (they are basically radioactive superheros, yeah that sounds like a normal family right there). The Silver Surfer comes to doom Earth, the craters he crates are never explained as to why or how they fix them, how he is chosen to save his planet, how he gets the board, or why he didn't fight Galactus before, since he somehow can do it. Okay back to Susan, since she aggravates me; they constantly try to get married and each time it gets interrupted (they are the only superheros on the planet, somehow, so no wonder they have so many issues to take care of), they could simply have a drive-thru wedding or not even have a wedding and just sign the paper work, but I'm sure Susan is the reason that they don't, since she wants a happy wedding like everyone else (so she wants to be an average girl without a care in the world, while I would love to be a superhero, if the whole gamma rays didn't turn them into superheros she would have gotten stuck with Victor). Why must she make everything complicated: she has superpowers, found the right guy, famous, smart, rich and looks good, and she wants a normal wedding...-.- please I would be joyous and not complain for just a fraction of all of that. The Thing doesn't get much screen time, the first movie focus around everyone, while this one mainly focused on Reed and Susan with a little Johnny and less Silver Surfer.

The Lone Ranger

Description:
Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.
                                                     
No idea what the original TV series was like, but I liked the movie. The movie is surprisingly bloody, I had to cover Princess's eyes...which normally means the movie is not PG-13. I found that Captain Fuller reminded me of an actual Captain in the military, I don't remember his name right now, but he was one of the main people involved in de-nativizing the Native American. I think this movie tops all the random out-there non-Disney messages, in all of the Disney movies (prostitutes, sex, death, and cannibalism); I mean the "Pirates of the Carribean"franchise has done all three, but the cannibalism never happened and was not as bloody and disgusting (even though it is off screen, since you still hear the process and see the end result).

The Amazing Spider-Man

Description:
Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.
                                                                    
Watched a trailer to see if we actually wanted to watch it, Princess and I were thinking that Peter was mental and was going to die for that, so we decided to watch to find out why he went all y.o.l.o...The time flow is very odd, but I liked it movie as a whole. Kept wondering where Mary Jane went, and it seems that he lets people know is identity too easily. And turns out that Crazy watched without us...and didn't tell us.

Speed Racer

Description:
A young driver, Speed Racer, aspires to be champion of the racing world with the help of his family and his high-tech Mach 5 automobile.
                                                            
Through out most of the movie I thought I was on an LSD trip, due to all the crazy colors and switching conversation/time area. Okay movie...still very confused on the whole story line, guess I should watch the show eventually.

The Dark Knight Rises

Description:
Eight years on, a new evil rises from where the Batman and Commissioner Gordon tried to bury it, causing the Batman to resurface and fight to protect Gotham City... the very city which brands him an enemy.
                                                           
I find it very odd how people find out that Bruce Wayne is Batman throughout the trilogy. I thought the Legion of Shadows thing was taken care of in the first movie, and that Fox had quit after the last movie. How does nobody draw the connection of Batman and Bruce Wayne; both go "missing"for eight years, Bruce can magically walk when Batman returns, both start becoming active at the same time, and both are assumed to die at the same time...And Scarecrow is still making appearances. Honestly the whole Bane idea is confusing, also
since I kept thinking about Bane from 'Batman and Robin'.

The Dark Knight

Description:
When Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent launch an assault on the mob, they let the clown out of the box, the Joker, bent on turning Gotham on itself and bringing any heroes down to his level.
                                                       
Took two days to watch this, since we had to get off the computer and go to bed (didn't even make it half-way). Most of the time I was thinking of the CollegeHumor version of Batman (interrogating the Joker and at the end with Two-face), which made watching it all the more enjoyable. They changed the actress that played Rachel, at first I was thinking she aged much faster than the other actors...and then it hit me, it's a different, more depressed looking actress. Joker can't get his story straight about his scars. I like the unscripted scenes a lot...I don't think any actor anytime soon will be able to top what Heath Ledger did as the Joker.

***In the Italian version of Batman, Jack Nicholson's voice was dubbed by actor Giancarlo Giannini. In this movie, Heath Ledger was voiced by Giannini's son Adriano Giannini, with the result that Italian audience felt a connection between the two Jokers since the voices are very similar. ***

Batman Begins

Description:
After training with his mentor, Batman begins his war on crime to free the crime-ridden Gotham City from corruption that the Scarecrow and the League of Shadows have cast upon it.
                                                       
Finally getting around to watching the trilogy. I thought that the whole bats traumatizing Bruce happened after the death of his parents, yet makes more sense later on in the movie on why they decided to put it before. I liked how it actually went into the training he went through, and how he got everything started. Nice set up for the next movie...Most of the time I was thinking of the CollegeHumor version of Batman (when Batman pulls the one "officer" up, Scarecrow, and when Rachel finds out about his identity ), which made watching it all the more enjoyable.

***My favorite parts were: when Alfred complains about Bruce not being able to push the "log" off of himself after doing so many push-ups everyday...Mr.Fox burns Earle, with the same burn as before...***

Iron Man 3

Description:
When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.
                                                      
Awesome movie, classic narcissistic Tony Stark. Guessing that Colonel Rhodes never returned the suit in the last movie. I feel like I will be missing the little reactor in his chest, I personally thought it was awesome; but Crazy brought up the point that now it is no longer a weak point that people can use, then I brought up the scene in Avengers where Loki tries to control him and can't due to the "weakness"...but I guess that constantly doing the whole chest prosthesis could be expensive, and that they would want to cut some expenses. Not sure how it will all progress now with Pepper's powers, and that it sort of left on the note that the power is unstable with no permanent fix as of then.

Iron Man 2

Description:
Tony Stark has declared himself Iron Man and installed world peace... or so he thinks. He soon realizes that not only is there a mad man out to kill him with his own technology, but there's something more: he is dying.
                                                            
Watched part of it on the D.C. trip, started in the middle and roommates were loud so couldn't even finish watching it. Now watching it entirely, it makes so much more flippy sense. Interesting idea that he has for Y.O.L.O...and honestly what kind of expo lasts an entire year?!?!?! I really started to feel like this is the Clamp universe, due to everyone making random appearances throughout the recent Marvel movies.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Description:
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.
                                                        
Sure it was a good movie, in terms plot and all, but I felt that the movie was for the most part dull. I mean Princess and I decided to stop and bake cookies...that was how bored we were -.-. I feel like the portrayal was so-so. Also that the names could have been changed, since the portrayal of those two in terms of personality (historically speaking) was way off at times, which confused use at times going "Why would/should he care/listen?"...Wow, Henry seems to have a knack for finding homicidal, drunk males. I couldn't read the book, since it was too dull; which turns me away from some "awesome" books.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Description:
A look at Wolverine's early life, in particular his time with the government squad Weapon and the impact it will have on his later years.
                                                              
During the commercials at the beginning I realized that I have yet to watch 'X-Men 3: The Last Stand', oh well next movie to hunt down. It was funny I almost forgot we had this movie, since it was still put away (yes...still)...along with other movies. I wonder if they plan on making other origin stories...I had forgotten a lot from the first time I watched it, that or I was not paying much attention the first time. Sadly, the movie still leaves some questions unanswered, then again I guess that is one way to try and get people to read the comics...something that I have given up on with popular characters, since there are too many different versions *cough cough* Batman. Just one small question...how is he (for a lack of a better word) "immortal"?

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Description:
Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.
                                                                        
I was starting to think that I would be consistently annoyed with Elizabeth in every flippy 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, and that I was missing the basic element that seems to haunt everything that I like...killing off a character that was just introduced. Barbossa confused me greatly, I felt betrayed at first, and at the end I felt that all was right once more with the world. Jack's hair was different and I have yet to figure out why it was different for this movie. The mermaids have completely destroyed my  happy image of mermaids and Disney. I felt like the movie was so-so; it was good yet not that good...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Description:
Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
                                                                 
As the movies go on I find myself disliking Elizabeth Swann more and more...Why? That is quite simple, she doesn't seem to have to much going on upstairs, and seems to gain things through family, misunderstandings, and shear luck (in that order basically too). The movie was awesome and action packed...then again it's from Disney and about pirates. I realized, whilst watching this one, that even though it's from Disney...the movie has many dying and hidden intentions.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Description:
Jack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well.
                                                                     
I really begin to question if Elizabeth really does think past what gets her what she wants fastest...and another character to add to my despised character list (and no I don't even tempt to rank them). Lots of action again, if not more than the first movie.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Summary:
Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.
                                                    
Entertaining to watch. Both Will and Elizabeth seem to rush into things without fully thinking everything through. I liked the monkey a lot, it was amusing to find out the monkey's name, especially in that manner.

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear

Description:
Unexpectedly hired by a mysterious library, and a magical artifact is lifted from the library, a meek librarian sets out to ensure its safe return. To do so, however, he enlists the service of a woman with exceptional martial arts skills, and travel to far off lands.
                                                                                                                                                             
I was half-asleep watching the movie, but I barely slept the previous days. Sadly I can honestly say that I liked the bad female in the movie more. It was interesting that this movie actually tried to portray the ages better, middle-aged and not built. Shockingly not as information filled as I would have liked, and lots of sexual references for a PG-13.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Description:
An ex-mercenary is forced out of isolation when three mysterious men kidnap and brainwash the city's children afflicted with the Geostigma disease.
                                                         
I was very lost due not playing the video games or watching the other movies. Lovely graphics, and plot if I knew the plot...hopefully. It kind of made me want to get off my lazy butt, buy the game, and look for the other movie/animes.....but laziness won. I doubt the movie/animes will help a lot though, because there are not a total of seven movie/animes....oh well. Cloud's bike breaks many laws of physics, but so does many things about the movie....video games...

I would love to learn more about it, is I guess what it boils down to

The Legend of Zorro

Description:
Despite trying to keep his swashbuckling to a minimum, a threat to California's pending statehood causes the adventure-loving Alejandro de la Vega -- and his wife, Elena -- to take action.
                                                       
The sequel to "The Mask of Zorro".  Another great movie, I need to find another way to rate movie....like a fixed thing... Anyhow tried to figure out the age that "Zorro" was in the first movie: he was bigger than his 10 year old kid, making him older than 10...so he is at least 10 years older than "Elèna"....yet she seems more mature, and they seem the age-ish give or take a few years. And was the kid in freakin' training to be the next "Zorro", since he had a lot of good moves. Liked the ending it was funny. Also, what is up with the people that love her, they are all crazy in someway.

The Mask of Zorro

Description:
A young thief, seeking revenge over the death of his brother, is trained by the once great, but aged Zorro, who is also seeking a vengeance of his own.
                                                                 
I like the movie a lot. At points in the movie I felt that Zorro was a Hispanic-ninja, because it was sneaky and somewhat calculated, when I say ninja I am not referring to the "Naruto" type of ninja. At other times it was an epic fail on him trying to be awesome, which brought the comedy to another wise action packed sad movie. Confused on what their ages are supposed to be, since before the twenty years she is an infant and he a young kid, yet after it seems like they are supposed to be the same age. I wonder: if Zorro is a Hispanic ninja, what do you call a group of Hispanic ninjas, since there is only one Zorro... I think the beginning and the ending are way too similar and that he is somehow actually related the the original.

The Fantastic 4

Description:
A group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.
                                                            
Remembered it differently, but I have bad memory so… good movie, ends with possibilities of a sequel. It has some interesting questions, does that mean you can shave rubber since he didn't cut himself… and things of that nature. I kind of feel like reading the comics to learn the back story...but then again there are a lot to read, especially since the movie gave it more hype. My favorite personality was Johnny, since he was the comedy, helped progress the plot by making Ben hate it more, and by being the person to bring everyone outside.
