OK, so, I know there are reviews for movies all over for these, but I am going to rate me favorite films coming out this summer:
let the countdown begin:
10. Indiana Jones and the crystal skull
to understand this, you have to understand my philosophy.
Philosophy time! A movie has either a "closed", "open", or "new" plot line. closed means it is closed, no more can be done or said about it. The best example of this was Shrek. I liked the first movie, the second was fine, but the third made me puke! It should have ended at the first, but the movie makers decided to open the door again and slip out two more films, which was a bad move. unfortunately, the movie goers didn't think so. "open" means there's more to be done with it. The best way to achieve this is base your movie on a series (spider man, Chronicles of Narnia, so on) , where the movie goers EXPECT more, because they know what happens next. Finally, the "new". This means that they've totally created a new thing. Star wars is a great example, containing new ideas, characters, and new universes. All movies start this way, except for sequels, and develop into either closed or open plots.
now, onto indy. Indiana Jones, like a lot of George Lucas things, is a "closed plot." It ended at the lost arch. There is nothing new, and even the plot is to predictable!
9. The hulk
This is another go since 2001's Hulk. Thew whole idea, I think, is bad. I wouldn't call hulk a hero, because really he is neutral. If anything gets him angry, good or evil, he will try ad destroy it! and that what this movie is!
8. Hancock
This movie will be good in my opinion, but not the best. The whole idea sounds cool, but A. Will Smith?! Come on! he has a filmography as thick as the bible! and B. Hancock is a new hero. He dosen't have comic books written about him, and he will have a lot to live up to. But I will be excited if it does score big.
7. WALLE
Disney. that is the only word I can say. IT is Pixar, one of the only partners that make classic Disney films. But I can only say, Disney!
6. Love guru
This film will be amazingly funny, but slapstick all the same. The plot I could care less for, but I must say that critics will hate it. They have never appreciated slapstic humor, and they won't start!
5. Don't mess with the Zohan
YES! Tis will be an awsome film! inapropriate, but Very funny!
4. batman begins
This film, I don't agree with some of it, but it will be entertaining as a whole. I say I I don't agree with it because Joker is not a balding, homicide clown! His story is he was known as the "Red mask" till he fell into a vat of chemicals and became the Joker!
3. Speed Racer
I call this movie "matrix on wheels." It combines the amazing CGI of the Matrix with the classic speed racer, making a very entertaining show.
2. Prince Caspian
This is going to be one of the best films. A little dark, it will not capture the full heart and sole of CS Lewis, but It still looks awesome!
1. IRON MAN |P
In one of the most explosive, exciting, and amazing adaptation ever, the filmmakers and Robert Downey JR captured the full spectrum of Iron man's origin! and with a record of topping the chart two weekends in a row, it will be crowned king of 2008 summer movies!
there they are, the shiny stars of today.
live long and prosper,
me
