Movie Review: The World's End

To end the Cornetto trilogy we need to end with a BAM.
The Worlds End was a BAM.
But is wasn't necessarily that great of a BAM.
I'm so disappointed...

Rating: R
Time: 109 min
Director: Edgar Wright
Stars: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

To get straight to the point, I love the Cornetto trilogy.
I have loved every single one of them.
So when hearing that this movie was going to come out I knew I needed this movie.
This was probably the movie I wanted to see most the whole entire year.
A little crazy right?
Well anyways I don't have much more to say here so I'll get straight to the review.
So the plot in the movie is that Simon Pegg gathers his friends from high school and they all go back to their hometown to conquer the golden mile that they could never complete years back.
But in the mix of it, the town seems different and basically there's robots and they have complete the golden mile without dying and stuff like that. 
So what was good in the movie?
First of all as I said before, I love this trilogy and I have loved every movie of theirs so this won't be any different.
Well getting back to the normal one of the things I liked was that the movie was highly entertaining.
The whole way through I was sucked in and I never got bored.
It's also really funny.
Well, only if you like that British type of humor.
And fortunately I do.
I thought that the jokes were unique and very new after seeing all those American comedies like We're the Millers and This is the End and also the other movies I rented on DVD that were in theaters years ago.
I thought that the characters were each very unique and special in their own way.
I thought they each played a different but grand role in the movie.
Also the acting was good.
It wasn't no Heath Ledger Joker but it was good for a movie that's obviously not trying to win any Oscar.
I thought that the plot was also very cool.
I like the idea of having these different pubs you need to go to as the main motivation for the characters and than all of this stuff happening in between.
And same with this movie that I liked with all movies are the shots that the movie takes.
The sound effects to those shots and the way it made me tingle in my seat was awesome.
They've done those shots in all of the three movies and I love them all.
Also at the end of the movie Simon Pegg has a very awesome monologue.
It was pretty much awesome.
So what wasn't so awesome though?
Well first of all I thought the ending of the movie was terrible.
Pretty much everything that happens after Simon Pegg's monologue was just terrible!
It's like they ran out of ideas and went with an ending that leaves a lot hanging and is just so STUPID!
I hated the ending with passion.
I also thought that this movie was nothing special.
I thought that it was going to have an awesome twist ending that relates to the other movies.
SPOILER ALERT!
It doesn't.
END.
I mean if I had just skip the movie entirely I wouldn't be missing out on much.
So to sum all of this up, the movie was a terrible ending to the Cornetto trilogy but a good movie in general.
And here is my order from worst to best of the Cornetto trilogy movies.
3. The World's End
2. Shaun of the Dead
1. Hot Fuzz
Not really a shocker right?
Score=6.5

Movie Review: Planes

FROM THE WORLD OF CARS COMES... PLANES!!!!!
Next thing you know a movie will come out that's called BOATS!
And than maybe after that, possibly another movie called TRAINS!
And all from the world of CARS!!

Rating: PG
Time: 91 min
Stars: Dane Cook, Stacy Keach
Director: Klay Hall

So when Cars came out I was much much younger.
Of course I went to see it and of course I loved it.
Than years later the sequel came out.
It was... TERRIBLE!
Yeah so when this movie came out I was not sure if it was worth my time.
But then I decided from the trailer that they were trying to go back to the original Cars type of movie so yeah, I was now really excited.
Unfortunately right when I got back the movie had just left the closest theater to my house.
I thought it was kind of a drag to go to a movie theater that was farther away and more expensive but eventually it happened.
But I will say I never planned it.
I asked my brother if he wanted to go to the movie theater to see a movie and it just happened that he wanted to see that one.
So it all worked out and we watched happily ever after.
So the plot in the movie is that planes have a race all around the world.
The main character is racing in it and it just happens that he's afraid of heights.
WOOP DI DOO!
And now we have our movie!
So what was good in this movie?
First of all the movie was really colorful.
All the colors were really powerful towards the screen.
Also the colors sucked me into the movie a little more.
And as I mentioned before the movie plot is that the planes have to race all around the world.
So the culture is also very cool.
I liked visiting all these places and paying attention to them.
All the cultures were different and it made the movie that much better.
The characters were also all very unique.
All of them had their own touch and style.
And even better they were all from different countries.
They all added to the movie a little more.
Even if they only had couple of lines.
All of these contributed to the movie being good but the thing that made this movie good was that it just made me feel good.
I don't think I have seen a movie that has truly made me feel good in a long time.
And this one did.
I went with my brother to see this movie and even though I'm having some problems with going back to school and that, this movie let me relax and just enjoy.
So what wasn't so great in this kids film.
First of all, the movie super predictable.
You know everything that's going to happen and you're always right!
It is also very cliche and maybe even cheesy.
The ending is one of those endings that happens in almost every children movie.
That's pretty much it but both of those things are pretty big factors of a movie.
So all in all, the movie is nothing new or special and I only recommend it to people if you are a kid or if you have a kid who really wants to see it.
Other than that, what's the point?
Score=6.5
