Simply...AMAZING!

The Amazing Spider-Man. Oh man...Go watch this movie! Seriously! Ok, you need more here...this will be another mini-review...but this time it's for a GOOD reason!

Background: Spider-Man. Seriously, need I say more?

Plot: Peter Parker is bit by a spider, his Uncle dies, he learns that with great power comes great responsibility...AND FIGHTS THE LIZARD!

Pros: The characters are great, the story is great, the chemistry between Peter and Gwen is great, the villain is great, the changes they made to the classic mythos is great, the pacing is great (Maybe a little TOO fast), the set up for the sequel is great...this movie is GREAT! My personal favorite thing that this movie does better than the Sam Rami trilogy is Spider-Man. In the Rami films Spider-Man doesn't quip. Confused? Well, in the comics one of Spider-man's most defining traits is the way he quips as he fights: Making fun of the villains, cracking jokes, breaking the fourth wall, ect. Well, this movie has them again, and I couldn't be happier!

Cons: Not much...it DOES leave you wanting more, but that could be good, AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THE SEQUELS! (They have announced they are...but they better follow through!) Another minor thing is that Peter is shown more than Spider-Man, but it makes sense, since this is an origin story. Uh...grasping here, but I also thought the First Person shots of Spider-Man swinging were kinda stupid (Minus the first one).

Final Word: This movie is AMAZING! (Pun intended.) Seriously, this and Avengers are so far (For me) this year's two MUST SEE movies. It is a thousand times better than the Sam Rami ones, and I loved the Sam Rami ones! Go see it!

Word of Warning: A few minor swear words are in here, violence of course, and surprisingly some blood and gore (The most disgusting is a Lizard mouse devouring a normal mouse...egh...). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Final Verdict: 10/10 (My MUST GO SEE THIS FILM IMMEDIATELY! award.)

Summer of ZOMBIES!: Resident Evil: Extinction

I am going to make this quick...because this movie doesn't DESERVE a long review. Heck, it doesn't even deserve a review at all! But here's my QUICK review of Resident Evil: Extinction, the movie that taught me how to hate.

Pros...the effects are better. Also, some of the dialogue is written competently.

Negatives...man, are there a LOT of things here. For one, this movie takes Alice's "Mary Sue"ness one step farther...in this movie she is officially the messiah. Seriously, her blood holds the only cure for the Zombie Apocalypse! And yes...Zombie Apocalypse. And no, you don't get to see it happen, you just are told "Oh yeah..the Zombie Apocalypse happened in-between this movie and the last one." I think we skipped a movie in-between...Some more bad things: Butchering of classic characters, butchering the source material, butchering  the senses of the viewers...this is a BAD movie. Honestly, this is one of the few movies I've watched that I felt DUMBER watching. It is not redeemable WHATSOEVER. I mean, Apocalypse was stupid, but a lot of the Raccoon City action was really fun. This movie, though, is garbage. You may have noticed that I don't have pictures or anything up for this review. Why? Because if the movie doesn't put forth effort...why should I? Unless you want to either torture yourselves, or you are a movie completionist like me, stay FAR away from this sequel. The first one I thought was good; the second one was stupid, but fun; but THIS movie is a slap in the face for fans of the games and movies ALIKE.

Word of...oh forget it. Look, this movie is garbage regardless. But yeah, swearing, violence, gore...all here. You're warned and stuff...

Final Verdict: 3/10 (My GARBAGE! Award. Congrats, Extinction...)

Also, in order to keep myself SANE...a review of The Amazing Spider-Man will be up today!
