Visually stunning with wooden action
27 September 2015 | by priestessamie (Australia)
I actually quite like this movie. I like the premise. I like the CGI which there is a tremendous amount of. I like the music. I like the scenery and costumes which are predominantly steampunk. I like the orphan boys and the other extras who are very interesting and full of character. Peter is very likable (though it would be nice if he could choose an East or West London accent and stick with it), Smee and Blackbeard are likable... But.. Tiger Lily's expressionless face and wooden acting, and Hook's unnecessarily loud, booming voice succeed in detracting attention away from everything else that was good about this movie. The brutal fighting action with no blood was confusing, and although a lot of the content was noticeably unrealistic you need to bear in mind that Neverland is a children's fantasy so of course it is not going to be true to life. So overall I like it, except for those two characters who, I am sorry to say, completely ruined it for everyone else. Your are left with the impression that the casting director for the extras did a much better job than the casting director for the main characters. For example - Tigerlily who I doubt could look less like an Indian than anyone you could ever imagine and who displays no fighting skills, agility, footwork, facial expressions, emotions, intent, strength or flexibility whatsoever, yet still somehow manages to slay pirates left right and centre throughout the film - mainly, it seems, because the pirates wait on the spot for her to chuck a tomahawk their way or slash them with a knife without ever making a move or reacting defence of their own lives as you might otherwise expect them to. If you can overlook the bad acting of those two (which unfortunately you can't because oddly enough they seem to get more screen time than anyone else) you may well think it is a terrific film. Which is why I give it six stars out of ten. eTaaps Directory

I can't believe the bad reviews. I also can't believe that nobody understood what they accomplished with this film. It's Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged! They managed to take that book and bring it up to date while making it accessible to all ages. That is a fantastic feat in and of itself. To also make it really entertaining is extraordinary. Cerebral and action packed, it holds the attention of the young right to the end. And the end? The film was the pin that showed the audience what could be if only we don't give up and just make things better. Atlas Shrugged and then asked for help. Everybody should see this film. Now. Oh, ignore the comments about continuity. Does it really matter? Artistic licence anyone? Right my review is over but I have to keep writing because it won't post unless I fill the minimum line count.

Great non-stop action
13 May 2015 | by Leo Foster (United States)
Great film, so fast-paced it makes every other film out there look slow and old-fashioned. Wonderful to see George Miller back on the Australian road, where he belongs. Charlize Theron is great, Tom Hardy is not bad, but the stunts are really where the film shines. It's hard to think of a better action road movie. It has all the intensity and perversity of the MAD MAX and THE ROAD WARRIOR, but amped up to new heights of craziness. Miller is the real star of the film -- in some ways technology seems to have finally caught up with his early hyperactive camera style, and he takes full advantage of the ability to move wherever he wants, however he wants.

Terribly Disappointing
19 May 2015 | by Michael Fishel (United States)
Loved the first Divergent movie. Then read all the books and thought Neil Burger did a great job turning the first book into an accurate and entertaining film. I was so sad to know he was not directing Insurgent. And after seeing Insurgent, that sadness was justified. Robert Schawkle or whatever his name is did an awful job making the 2nd book into a movie. The 2nd book was lamer than the first, but it had a much easier plot to deal with. This movie straye They even had a bigger budget for this film, yet made it shorter in length, cramming scenes in with minimal creativity and almost zero character development. Almost everything that occurs is not true to the narrative in the book. Johanna appears to have no scars on her face and she's fat, wtf. The entire villain of Jeanine is tarnished by a completely different take on her motives. Book readers of this story should not watch the film nor appreciate its utter suckiness. Did the director even glance at the book? Did Veronica Roth really approve this movie? I am appalled?
d so far from the story in the book, title should be Insurgent Undone.

Nostalgic? Brings back your childhood? The sequel that Jurassic Park deserves? Whose press agent is writing this?
14 June 2015 | by trailbyfire (Hawaii)
I'm a bit baffle at some of the reviews that praise this film. Yes, it's better than Jurassic Park 3 and its really dumb fun but some of the praise seem bit robotic, like they are going through talking points given by a press agent. Nostalgic? Because this movie takes place on the same island as the first Jurassic Park? Honestly, this does not look like the same island but whatever. Bring back your childhood? Was your childhood memory of Jurassic Park filled with cardboard cut outs as human characters, sexism, bad acting and an over indulgence of CGI? Seems so. The sequel that Jurassic Park deserves? From what I remember from Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park, it had smart characters dealing with a moral dilemma about messing with the natural order of things and dealing with the consequences of their actions. The only sequel in the Jurassic Park series that carried over the themes of the original Jurassic Park was Steven Spielberg's follow up, The Lost World. While The Lost World was not as good as the original Jurassic Park, it still manages to be a strong sequel that at respects and accomplishes what the original sets out to do. Jurassic World only really has dumb characters running away from a monster bend on killing everyone in a amusement park. Again, Jurassic World is for a fact a much better film than the horrendous Jurassic Park 3 but that's because it's dumb fun, not the second coming of the original Jurassic Park.
Chris Pratt is playing his usual roguish frat boy self and it does gives the movie one of it's few likable characters but he can't hold this movie by himself with with bad card board cuts outs as characters, some very bad acting and out of place sexist stereotypes of women. Not to mention a script that is pretty flimsy with pretty bad dialogue. With what was once a science fiction thriller with the first two Jurassic Park films went off the rails with Jurassic Park 3 when it became a sad family film with dinosaurs. Jurassic World tries to bring back the thrills somewhat with some dumb B movie fun with a monster on the loose film but its hurt by the hint of the bad family drama and unlikable characters of Jurassic Park 3 with two boys trying to get their aunts attention. Because of that, none of it works very well off each other and while Chris Pratt is likable hero, he's not given the tools necessary thanks to the bad script and so so directing to hold back the tidal wave of cheese that was thrown on the audience once the film was done.
So yes, it's better than Jurassic Park 3 but no,it's not nostalgic and its not the sequel that Jurassic Park deserves. If this bring you back to your childhood, you really do have issues you need to deal with. In reality, Its a semi decent B movie entry to the series that manages to entertain despite its many problems. If you go in believing the hype from talking points from publicist trying to sell this film to you as the second coming of the original Jurassic Park, you will be very disappointed. Go in with realistic expectations and you will be rewarded.

Speaking as a Terminator-fan: Excellent. At times perfect.
26 June 2015 | by Finfrosk86 (Norway) – See all my reviews
I am a huge Terminator fan. Terminator 2 is my favorite movie ever, and I find it to be the best movie ever made.
So yeah, this review is biased, but not to an extreme degree.
Terminator Genisys is an excellent movie for Terminator fans. It's for the fans. It's the Terminator sequel we deserve.
I'm one of those who liked Terminator 3, but Genisys is definitely more in tune with Camerons original two.
If you are not a fan, though. First off, why are you not a fan? Either you are too young, or you.. well, what the hell's
wrong with you!? (Kidding...A little bit) Anyway, if you are not a fan this is still an entertaining action movie. It looks
really good, the effects are pretty much top notch, the action is entertaining, the parts that are supposed to be are
exciting, the acting is mostly solid. Some reviews I've seen say it's devoid of humor, but I disagree. There are small
jokes sprinkled pretty evenly around.
But for the fans.. Oh my. This is so in tune with Camerons originals! I think the only one who could have made this any
better is Cameron himself.
Of course, it would have been a much better movie-experience if the trailers hadn't spoiled so much, but whaddayagonnado!?
When there's a trailer for a new Terminator-movie, I'm gonna see that trailer.
But even if the trailers spoiled a lot, I won't.
I will say this though. There are a lot of nods, references, and direct connections to Camerons originals here.
You will recognize plenty of stuff. Some big, some smaller. Sound effects, visual stuff, it is very true to Camerons vision.
Very nice. And the song, oh, just pierces my heart!
I am also happy to say that they have brought back some of the more emotional concepts that we loved from T2, and that was
sorely missing from T3. Not to the same extent as in T2, but still, a lot better than the two previous entries.
Funny thing is that almost none of the main actors are American, haha. Austria, Australia, England, Korea representin'!
Anyhow, the actors are all good. I'm not super loving Jay Courtney, but he did alright. Emilia, Jason, Byung-hun - all real
good. Seeing Arnold again, damn! He is just great. Just seeing his name at the beginning, I almost teared up!
The fact that it's PG13 didn't bother me much either. Yeah the blood was awesome in T2, but it's alright that we don't get
it here. As for the nudity, it wouldn't have hurt us, but hey, partial nudity is alright too. Anyway the rating doesn't take
anything away, there's still plenty of violence.
It is just fantastic to see Terminator-stuff made with 2015-technology. Those endoskeletons.. Awesome! And a certain scene
partially lifted from a certain movie, damn! So cool to see.
I haven't got much bad to say, some of the dialogue and one-liners could have been a tad better, a couple of the jokes are
a little overused, but it's mostly nitpicking I think.
Also, yes, there are plot holes, but what do you expect? The whole premise of Terminator is impossible anyway.
I can honestly say, as a life long (I saw T2 the first time when I was really little) Terminator-fan,
I enjoyed the hell out of this. Already looking forward to seeing it again. It was at times perfect. Very entertaining.
Now go see it people, so it makes good in them boxoffices. I want more of these!

Fantastic Flop
5 August 2015 | by bartonj2410 – See all my reviews
Over the last decade, we have seen a number of superhero movies get a much needed reboot.
After the atrocious Batman & Robin, Batman was brilliantly brought back to the big screen in Batman Begins.
When the Spider-Man franchise hit an embarrassing rock bottom with Spider-Man 3, it was reinvigorated with
the very likable The Amazing Spider-Man.
Eight years on from the dud that was Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and it's time that Marvel's first
family got a reboot. With a lot of rumours flying around about trouble on set and the studio not seeming to have
total confidence in their product, could 2015's Fantastic Four do these iconic comic-book characters justice?
Reed Richards (Miles Teller) is a brilliant young scientist on the verge of discovering how to both transport matter
to another dimension and bring it back. Recruited by Professor Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey), Reed is given the resources
and help, in the form of Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) and Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan),
to to finish what he started in his younger years.
When they finally crack inter-dimensional travel, Reed invites his childhood friend Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) to travel to
another world along with him and his team. An accident causes their physical form to drastically change. Reed, Sue, Johnny
and Ben must learn to harness their powers and work as a team to stop Victor, who is hell bent on destroying Earth.
The one thing that stood out to me about Fantastic Four is just how unbelievably dull it is. For characters who have such
a rich and colourful history in the comics, this really is a pretty drab affair. The film only has a 100 minute runtime
however, it feels much longer, dragging its feet and feeling very tired right from the very start.
When a superhero movie gets less exciting after they get their powers, something is very very wrong.
I had some hope for this film and one of the main reason was down to the fact that Josh Trank was sat in the director's
chair. Trank hit the big time with Chronicle, a film that combined the superhero genre with found footage. I can't express
just how disappointed I am with Trank because everything about Fantastic Four is just so sloppy.
The story is weak, the script is cringeworthy and the special effects are average at best. It all culminates in one of the
most boring finales you will ever witness in a superhero movie. Compared to what else you see happen in other superhero
movies these days, it all looks and feels amateur.
Then there are the performances. Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell are all young
actors who have the world at their feet. They have each impressed in their own way prior to Fantastic Four but every single
one of them has the range of the cast in Tim Story's Fantastic Four films and waste their talents in Trank's reboot.
Fantastic Four is a film very much out of time and place in today's market of superhero movies. Ten or fifteen years ago
a studio might have been able to get away with it but not today. Audiences like to be entertained and with the competition
offering much more excitement, I don't see audiences taking to this, at all.

Emotional and intriguing even for adults
9 August 2015 | by mrgamebox – See all my reviews
I greatly enjoyed this movie and think it was really well made in terms of content and delivery.
Sure, you could say that cartoons like this are childish but the movie was fun and the content made me thinking.
I like the idea of personifying emotions that is prominent in this film as it made me think about the human psychology
and even my personal way of dealing with the different emotions. Nevertheless, some stereotypes were a bit overused and
unnecessary for the enjoyment of the film. I think this film is worth watching for anyone but especially for reflective
people or anyone else who is trying to understand their emotions, whatever the age.

Ignore the bad reviews!!!!!
5 August 2015 | by cameron-59-297793 (Los Angeles) – See all my reviews
Ignore all the bad reviews! This movie was one funny movie.
I am a huge fan of the original vacation movies and I thought this did it justice.
It is much raunchier than the original one but just as funny.
I am a fan of anything ed Helms does. He is one funny man! The funniest character(s) to me are the two kids.
They have a role reversal, which the younger brother played brilliantly by Steele Stebbins is the bully and
the older brother played Skyler Gisondo, is the older more feminine brother which is hilarious how they clash!
This movie all in all was a funny movie. It ran a little long but you will leave the theater with a smile on your face.
Even though I loved it, I only give it a 8 stars because the movie felt like it ran a little long.
