my movie rant

SUMMER MOVIES YET TO BE RELEASED:

star trek- looking forward to this greatly. especially glad that this year i have been watching a little bit of star trek when its on after school. JJABRAMSNEEDZTOGETINME.

btw, CLOVERFIELD 2?! JOE, JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH ME.

terminator- looks so good, and not just because of my bale-bias. it looks genuinely good. i really need to see the other terminator movies before hand though so i dont feel like a hypocrite when i see the new one and feel my personal shame burn inside me.

transformers 2- this movie is only going to make me mad, or make me laugh. i like the first one (there is no good reason why i like it, it is not a very good movie) but MBAY will not get lucky a second time. everything i know about this movie makes it seem as though he went out of his way to be the biggest dick possible. and i think more money is spent on explosives than animating the chrome-as-fuck-transformers.

MOVIES RECENTLY VIEWED:

wolverine was a shitty movie.
it is bad if you are a comic reader.
it is bad if you are not a comic reader.
it is insulting on both levels.
the special effects: poor
the directing: fukken poor
the casting: MOSTLY good.
the dialogue: unnatural and awkward (in no way do i blame the actors for this. screenwriter, this is all on you, man.)
the opening scene goes by faster than you can blink.
um, that was silver fox? i am only just realizing this, wow. good job.
fucked up timeline. even for comic books.
and GREEN SCREEN UP THE ASS.

also, it broke my heart and shattered a dream. gambit did not have the cajun accent. the actor sort of tried at first (very subtly) and i was sort of okay with that. sort of. but after the first scene, he drops it almost entirely and when he does have a hint of any sort f regional dialect, it is texas at best.
all i wanted was a decent liveaction gambit. i didn't care if he had the stupid redblack eyes (i don't give a shit about them, but how lazy was it to not even do them? they fucking reconstructed prof. x's face, but couldn't give gambit black eyes? lazy and inexcusable). i didn't care if we saw real life card juggling (which we didn't because every single thing in this movie was CGI). i just needed the cajun accent and i could have walked away having seen and heard a live action gambit.

however, some moments were fun. jackman wasn't bad (when there he wasn't screaming like vegeta). sabertooth entertained me. wade wilson got some great lines (none were funnier than him cutting a bullet in half, though. why do people think that this is such a cool thing?)
but fuck, "deadpool" i am not even getting into that shitstorm of a bad idea.

glad i didn't pay to see it.
