Review the last movie you saw....

....and it doesn't even have to be a new movie. Alright ladies and gents, any movie that you recently saw and got a feel for, go ahead and give your opinion for it. Whether you have a long and detailed synopsis of why it was good, or you wanna say it "just plain sucked," it's all welcome here.

To get things going, the last two movies I saw, one was decent and the other is still a classic.

The first movie- Click
It is a movie with adam sandler using a remote control to pause events, fast forward through boring family meals, replay memories, and slap David Hasslehoff in the face. Sounds like another boring adam sandler movie right? Nah, I liked this one and have to say it's one of his better movies.

For one, this movie has an actual moral Value behind it, unlike Mr. Deeds or Billy Madison for example, it gets in a sense of humor and comedy, all this time relaying a message to the viewer, don't let life go by too fast.

For having some decency in the movie, getting a happy ending that makes sense with a decent twist at the end, and having some actual funny humor in it, I'd give this movie a 3.5 / 5. Again, this is better than most sandler movies, but it still has that weird sandler sense of humor that I don't like all that much. Still, nicely done though.


The other movie- The Crow.

Ahh what a beautiful movie, when I hear of a movie about revenge, I don't want complex plans and thoughts, I don't want to see the main character who is out for revenge struggle with how he should go about it, if you want revenge, then bloody do it. The Crow delivered this with a great sense of urban street crime.

For those who haven't seen it, A woman, Shelly Webster was murdered by four perverts on devils night (the day before halloween). Devils night is notorious in the set town as one of the most dangerous nights to even leave your door unlocked, and when Eric, the main character comes home to find his soon to be wed brutally beaten and raped, he is immediately killed off by the four men who raped Shelly.

However, his soul wouldn't rest, and a legend about how every crow carries a soul, and sometimes that soul will be reincarnated for a single purpose, comes true. Eric comes back to life, he digs himself out of his grave, and immediately goes off to find the four men he remembers before the time of his death.

I won't reveal any more of the plot for those who haven't seen it, but you get the general idea of the movie. (Btw, it looks like I said a lot, but that's basically the first 15 minutes of the movie).

I've watched this movie countless times, I saw it when I was six and didn't understand it at all, but later when I still had an interest for it, I watched it again when I was fourteen and at least once a month or two from then on, one of my personal favorites, I give an all out 5 / 5 for this masterpiece.

***********


Now as I said, ANY movie is possible, not just 2006 and up, as I did just rate a movie from the 90's. Go for what you saw, go ahead and rate a movie as old as "the count of monte christo" if you want, if that's what you saw, threads all yours.
