Movie Review: The Hobbit

Before I saw the movie I had no idea what the Hobbit was even going to be about.
I thought that it would be this hobbit who goes on an adventure.
But there's a whole lot more.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 169 min
Stars: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen

This movie was filmed in 48fps, that's really awesome and I wanted to see the movie like that.
But my theater only had the normal 24fps so I guess I'll have to wait for another movie to see it like that.
Anyways I never read any of the Lord of the Rings books and I haven't read the Hobbit.
Even though I've seen all the movies.
And the Lord of the Rings movies I was a fan of!
And even though people are saying that this movie has it's flaws so they give it a lower grade, I really liked this movie.
I mean it was just so enjoyable!
But before we get into that, the plot.
The plot in this movie is that a long time ago this dragon took over the Dwarves town or village or something.
And so they have all their gold in there and they want it back so a group of Dwarves, Gandalf (a wizard) and Bilbo (a hobbit) go and try to get it back.
So let's start off with the good things about this movie.
As I said before this movie is really enjoyable.
The whole way through the movie I was really enjoying it and having a good time.
This movie is long, and you don't want to be stuck in a theater with a really long boring movie on.
Fortunately I wasn't.
I was into it the whole time and I never drowsed off like in other movies. (Lincoln)
Another great thing about this movie were the characters.
All the characters in this movie were really unique and really fun to watch in their own way.
Some were goofy, some were serious, some were wise and some were just clueless at moments.
All I know is that they were all funny.
And the action in this movie was awesome!!!
The little dwarves were stabbing people with their swords and it was so fun to watch!
And the humor in this movie was great.
It wasn't laugh out loud humor, it was mostly chuckle humor but it always made the movie a little more fun and bright.
And even though in the beginning of this movie nothing really that exciting is happening.
I liked the beginning because it really introduced the movie and it got me all happy for the rest of it.
Anyways now I've got to talk about the bad stuff.
In the movie there were a lot of characters.
And it seemed like all the characters had their one little part in the movie but it didn't seem like it was enough.
I felt like I wasn't that interacted with the characters in the movie.
I thought I would get 1 minute of them talking and then never hear them again for the rest of the movie.
And also in the movie it seemed like the story line would go off balance places.
It seemed like people were getting into fights and other things for no reason.
They probably mentioned it once in the movie why this thing that is happening is happening and then when the time comes when it's important you're totally clueless.
And there was one character in this movie that really disappointed me.
And it's name is Gollum.
In the past 3 movies I loved Gollum.
He was nice but evil at the same time and I really liked that.
But in this movie it seems like he's just evil and crazy.
If there's no back and forth between his bad side and his good side there's not really any thing special about him to me.
He just seemed like the mad annoying creature on screen.
I kind of wanted to move on whenever I saw him on screen.
Anyways in all i would recommend this movie to anyone who has read the books by J. R. R. Tolkien and anyone who loves fantasy.
Score=8.0

Movie Review: Lincoln

I heard that every adult in the world absolutely loved this  movie.
I tried to act like them, think like them, but I can't!!
This movie was so boring!

Rating: PG-13
Time: 150 min
Stars: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field

This movie was really long.
And it wasn't an action or a comedy, it was a drama.
And also it was based on a true historical moment so you already knew everything that was going to happen!
Sure there were some funny moments but most of it was long and boring to me.
I didn't know what Abe Lincoln was like before this movie.
Then I heard that Daniel Day-Lewis studied everything about Abe Lincoln and WOW!!
I did not imagine him like that.
Anyways the plot in this movie is that slavery's still legal and it's the end of the Civil War and Abe Lincoln wants to get rid of slavery and so many people disagree.
Anyways let's start off with what I did like about the movie.
The acting in this movie was amazing!!!
 Everyone was giving it all on the field.
I heard from everyone else that Daniel Day-Lewis did an amazing job as Lincoln and he did.
He will definitely be nominated for an Oscar for his performace.
And Sally Field also did an amazing job.
She made the movie seem a little more realistic and she will also be nominated for an Oscar as well.
But Tommy Lee Jones in this movie was great to me!!
He was the character that funny and smart at the same time, and when you're watching a movie like this you need someone like that to cheer it up.
Tommy Lee Jones was very funny in this movie no matter how scary his face looked!!
Another thing I liked was when in the times of the movie when it wasn't boring it was very interesting!
I was really into it and it sometimes felt like I was really there experiencing the moment in real life.
And in the scene where they're voting for the law even though I knew what was going to happen I was still biting my nails.
And for the people who like politics you'll be very interacted with the movie the whole time.
Either you'll be nodding your head or quietly clapping your hands.
And now the bad things.
As I said before this movie was SO BORING!!!
They had scenes where two men were talking quietly and calmly and then it was supposed to be important!
If you want to make something seem important don't act like two normal people talking to each other.
Sometimes I zoned out and just started thinking about other things and I was more interested.
And also as I said before this movie was long!!
I was wondering how much was longer 30 minutes into the movie.
And the movie was based on a historical event that probably everyone knows.
And even though I got to admit they did a pretty good film to everyone else about something that already happened, it just made me more bored.
The whole movie I was waiting for the part SPOILER ALERT (I GUESS?) when Lincoln gets shot in the head.
All that happens is that a man runs up on stage in a totally different theater and says, "The president's been shot!"
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes politics. (NOT KIDS!)
Score=6.0

Movie Review: Life of Pi

Instead of falling in love with the tiger, I would've just killed it when I had the chance.
More food for me.

Rating: PG
Time: 127 min
Stars: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan

When the tigers not looking I would just stab him or something.
I wouldn't do it if I weren't stranded on a boat of course.
But if I was, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
There's actually a scene in this movie where the tiger can't get on the boat.
How the heck could someone mess that up unless they wanted to?
By the way, the tigers name is Richard Parker!
That is such an awesome name for a man slaughtering tiger!
Oh yeah, NOT.
But it does make the movie a whole lot more fun whenever the tigers name is called.
Anyways this is a movie review so let's get on to the movie.
So the plot in this movie is that a boy is stuck on a life boat with a tiger.
And so you know, he kind of wants to survive.
So let's start off with what went well in this movie.
First off the tiger's name is Richard Parker!
That is such a fun name for a tiger!
Even though it might be a little dull for a real life human.
No offense if you're name is Richard Parker.
And the 3D in this movie is great.
Usually I hate 3D but in this movie they do it so well!!
If you see this movie, see it in 3D, it makes it a whole lot better!
Now let's actually get off in to the movie.
When Pi finally gets set off into the water in the life boat the movie starts blooming.
The fun starts coming out and you're just enjoying it so much.
This movie has such an amazing unique plot that only a genius would make up.
But the plot could go either way.
It could be really boring story or a really entertaining fun one.
The book was obviously the entertaining one but the movie seemed like it would be kind of a bore.
Well I was wrong.
Very wrong.
Anyways another thing that was really well done in this movie was the cinematography.
It was so beautiful and shot so well that it made the movie brighter and even better.
The movie was beautiful.
And now the bad things about the movie.
The beginning part of the movie to me was a bore.
It seemed like the whole time you were impatient and you just wanted to get to the boat part in the trailer.
And in the beginning of the movie it keeps on  switching from Pi as young but then to Pi old telling the story to another person.
It was kind of annoying to me.
Fortunately it ended soon enough.
And the end of this movie I thought wasn't done well.
I thought they could've made the it more lively.
But it seemed like it was just plop, credits.
In both young Pi version and old Pi version.
And some of this movie seemed unrealistic to me.
It didn't seem like it was possible which makes me wonder if this was realistic fiction or just fiction.
Anyways I would recommend this movie everyone besides children 8 and under.
They say everything's good and the things they usually say are bad are actually amazing.
Score=7.5

Movie Review: Rise of the Guardians

Hold on a second, Santa Clause is Russian?

Rating: PG
Time: 97 min
Stars: Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman

I can imagine the Easter Bunny with an Australian accent, but who other then real Russians thinks that Santa Clause is Russian?
I just saw Life of Pi before I could get to this review so I'm not really into what I'm writing.
Anyways I'm going on a trip so the next movie will be Life of Pi but it will be a little delayed.
Anyways I'm reviewing this movie now so no more commotion and let's get right to it.
The plot in this movie is that there are these guardians who protect kids from bad things.
Anyways the Boogyman appears and he's like super powerful.
So the guardians have to stop him.
And now we got Rise of the Guardians.
Let's start off with the things that did work.
This movie is like the only movie coming out this Winter that's actually about Christmas.
Even though we got movies that are based in the Christmas season.
I would only call this a Christmas movie.
And I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
It's my favorite time of the year and my favorite holiday based movie genre.
So I came into this movie with a smile on my face.
The characters in this movie are all very funny and unique.
Santa Clause is this big dude who's very powerful but kind of clueless.
And he's also Russian which was fun to watch.
And the Easter Bunny was also very fun to watch.
He was very bossy and he thinks he's better then everyone.
And he has an Australian accent which is a giant bonus.
The Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost, The Sandman, The Boogyman and the other minor characters were also very fun and unique also.
Anyways another thing I liked about this movie was that each of these characters have like a tiny planet just for them and their holiday.
Santa Clause of course has the North Pole, but I mean like the Easter Bunny!
The Easter Bunny has the most awesome place ever!!
He has like these flowers that spit paint so that the eggs get colored.
AWESOME.
And the Tooth Fairy has her planet and of course the Boogyman had to have one.
Another thing I like about this movie was the scenery, you can't really find the scenes that they have in this movie in like any other movie.
The colors and the places that these things are is just amazing.
The fight scenes were good in this movie, they were cool, big and possibly I would even say epic.
And the humor in this movie was also good in a way.
It usually wasn't that funny to make a laugh but it made some chuckles.
And usually I wouldn't mention that in this movie but what was great about the humor was that it made you feel good.
Anyways what I didn't like about it.
Somewhere in the middle of the film the movie goes somewhere that I was surprised at and that I thought the movie wasn't and couldn't really go to.
Unfortunately I was right.
In the end of the movie that twist got ruined and thrown in the trash.
Another thing that I didn't like was how the kids reacted in this movie.
I thought that all the kids in the universe in this movie seemed a little how would you put it, impatient.
Of course they had to stop believing if the night you're tooth came out and you didn't get some prize.
The Tooth Fairy's right, she's superior to Santa because he delivers gifts to every kid one night per year, she does it everyday.
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves Christmas.
Score= 8.0
