Movie Monday #3

You know how I always blabber something before starting the actual topic? Yes.
I'm not gonna let you down this time either, I think it's starting to be some kind of a habit already.
  Well as you may see, today indeed isn't Monday. And I'm truly sorry that my Movie Monday got bit late from this week. Well better late than never, huh?
I do have an excuse! First, I didn't got movie until, I think uh Thursday. And Ida was kind and gave me a link where to watch it. But I was really busy with real life on the rest of the week. And I thought that I'll watch it on Monday and write on Tuesday.
  And I did try to watch that movie on Monday and wrote an another post that day. But unfortunately that movie took forever to load. Seriously I'm not kidding! I put it on load, maybe hour before I started to watch it, and when I did start to watch I was able to get to maybe 15-20 mins. and then it stopped and started to buffer again, so I surfed around the webs for two hours and got back to see how much it had load. Not even at half way! So I decided to give up, and I was really tired at that point.
  So yesterday I asked a new movie to rate (from my Last Seen -list). I could have rate it yesterday, but I was awfully tired. Mostly because I have bit of fever and it's making me very very tired. Even a little temperature on me get me in bad shape. Now that I have slept well last night (aside that I have very anxious dreams) I feel quite good, so here I am writing to you guys! :)
  Oh and that movie I tried to watch was Iron Sky. And even tou that is the genre that I hate, I'm going to watch it one day (probably rent/loan it somewhere) and rate it then!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Where to start? Well, I really enjoyed this movie. Since Wolverine is my favorite mutant and he was the first Marvel character I liked the most. 

I really was exited when I heard they were gonna do a movie of him. I nearly fell down to the floor when reading the news.

And I think that I was at the premier of this movie. And my oh my how much I enjoyed it, it got my adrenaline to rise and I remember it well when I got out of the theater! 

I was there with my former GF, and uh it was fairly cold outside when the movie ended and we walked to the bus stop. I couldn't shut up talking about it, and I think there was still like snow on the ground and I was like so pumped up in adrenaline that I was feeling so hot that I was having my long jacket open (only having blouse and vest under it) and my GF was like freezing so I even gave my jacket to her because I was really like feeling that I was on fire. 

I just love that kind of movie that make me feel that adrenaline rush. 

It was also the first movie in X-men history that made me have problem to choose my fave mutant. 

I've always loved Wolverine, but now I also totally fell for Victor! Now I have the eternal dilemma to choose between them. I'd love to be loyal and pick Wolverine, but then again.. idk I prefer Victor. And it depend are we talking about 'old' or 'new' Wolverine! 

I was terribly shocked when I first saw the new adamantium claws. I seriously wanted to scream and ran off from the theater when they showed them. I mean, how come they look so much better and real in X1-3 ? And in here it's like "HELLLOOOOO COMPUTER!!" WHY!? And the bone claws he had before the operation were SO much better, they were really nicely made.

And idk, It looked a lot like they didn't put much effort on the special effects, or they had someone whom didn't know what to do. Because they peed in my eyes.

I think that Remy's special effects were nice, but others ... nnaaah. Not so much. 

For me, it's horrible horrible thing to watch those disgusting computer made adamantium claws in this one. Probably the biggest thing I hate.

Also some minor things annoyed me, that they could've payed more attention, well no movie is perfect. Right?

But I really enjoyed getting background story, in movie form for Wolverine. I had read some of the comics about his past, unfortunately not so many that I wish! 

And I was genuinely surprised when I found out that Victor is Sabertooth. So uh... X1? Is that supposed to be Victor? How come he doesn't remember his lil bro? I mean I get why Logan don't, but Victor? And he changed so much, well I decided to ignore this and enjoy the whole movie as in "out of the context" -way.

I really wish that they would bring Remy, Victor and Wade/Deadpool to the other X-men movies. Because they have much potential, AND I know that Deadpool has quite a big role in Marvel universe.

I think there IS Deadpool game/movie ors coming out/ is already out. I really haven't checked. Because I just found him so freaking irritating in the movie.

But as I've seen some comic glimpses of him, he seems really funny and awesome. So I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

And for some reason I've head lots of opinions that this is the worst X-men movie. I don't get it. Well if you don't like Wolverine that much, then yeah I get you, but... I wouldn't say worst! For me this is either my fave or my second fave X-movie. 

The timeline of this movie partly bugs me a lot. I think I spoke about this in my last Movie Monday, when I rated First Class. 

But if you think of this as independent X-men movie and just enjoy it. It'll be great, but if you're over thinking all the details, you might get puzzled! 

4½/5 Stars.
Oookays well that's it for that movie!

Next week, I need a movie (I'd prefer you to pick it on either my last seen or from the ones I own, that way 100% guarantee getting rated. But you can throw me anything really!)

But NO AVENGERS -related. I'm doing a huge Avengers rating (ALL 7 MOVIES!) 10th day! 

And of course, please check that I haven't rate it already ;) !

Ps. I'd like to thank you guys I've just hit my +500 page views, yes that's a lot for me. 

Now good night ♥

Movie Monday #2

Woah! This was unbelievable, yesterday I was already sad, because I had no new movie to review. I mean I got two movie suggestions from Ida (if you want yo be called with different name tell me), but I didn't have them and couldn't watch them so :(
Then I found out that Heidi (or do you prefer Datironass?) had given me already new movie, but I just didn't had receive the message. So I have her movie to review.
And now today Chan gave me two more 8) So you guys are getting three reviews today.


Also I'd like to warn at this point that I do not guarantee that my posts are spoiler free. :| 
  So To the movies!

X-Men: First Class

I fell in love with X-men when I first saw it. I saw X2 first. And it was really the first Marvel movie that I enjoyed and I've been always really exited when new X-men movie is released. 

So yes I was also really exited about this one. I for some totally unknown reason didn't see this in theater. 

And to be honest, I think this one is the worst so far. I'm not saying it's bad, no not at all! It's just in my opinion worst of the X-men so far. 

For me, who have also read the comics of X-men it was little bit messy. Otherwise this would be quite okay with it's timeline, but Wolverine's appearance was weird. 

It's timeline doesn't fit, I mean if you try to connect all the movies, X1-3 and Wolverine with this, they don't match. At least in my head and it's making me annoyed. I mean it was awesome that they threw him there, but still.

And! Emma Frost was supposed to be one of Charles first students, according to the comics if I can remember correctly. So yes I've been quite snobish with this movie. 

But if I need to say something positive about this.

It would be definitely the fact that they tell background of Charles and Eric (Magneto) and their beginning. Also I personally like James McAvoy. And I liked how they brought some of the minor characters along, like Azazel. And also few of the bigger and important (at least in comics) characters to the movie. 

The movie gives nice view of things in different angle thinking of the "Future" movies, and by this I mean like X1-3 where Xavier and Magneto are enemies. I really don't think Magneto is really like evil villain, he's just misunderstood (Like Loki.. .... no I just did not brought Avengers to this) and he thinks his cause is good and righteous, and he wants to change the world. Unfortunately it's not that after all.

Ummmhh. Well I'll give this 3/5 Stars. 

Also if you haven't seen the previous X-men movies, it's okay, not necessary. that gives plus! 

Silent Hill

This is actually the latest movie I've seen. And I've seen this twice. This is one of those horror movies that I genuinely like.

Even thought I was really disappointed on second time. I remembered it was MUCH more scarier, but it was kind of like... ... really lame. 

Or maybe I've just grown and seen way too much craptastic horror movies. But I enjoyed refreshing my memory. 

For example I payed attention to different things, like I didn't remember Sean Bean was there! And the fucking annoying town leader bitch was in Ten Inch Hero.  And of course my lovely Pyramid Head.

Only things that sucks in this movie is the ending and special effects. Well I get that maybe the budget wasn't big enough and maybe back then the quality wasn't what it is now.
But the end, like ... What the fuck man!? Why did that happen? Like did they become ghosts or like were they on different sort of dimension?
Well I haven't play the game(s), so maybe it was explained there. Also I hate to say that usually when game is turned onto movie it sucks. Usually, not always :'D
But this one, I think it's okay. I really can't say more since I don't know what happens in the game so should there be sequel ors.

I still remember how I found Silent Hill. I uh.. I had my first girl crush and she was a fan of it, especially for Pyramid Head (Also the nurses are cool!) and of course I wanted to know like what was it so I just watched the movie.
And also back in the days when I used to cosplay and attend to conventions there ALWAYS were Silent Hill cosplayers. I have seen quite awesome nurses and Pyramid Heads :3

I think this movie should remake, or get sequel since I hate how it ended. So different (or more!) view maybe?
Oh and uh, I really don't think this is a HORROR horror movie, u know. I think it's more like gore, well not exactly that either. Like mixture of them. and shitloads with weird! XD

3/5 Stars.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

I have to confess that I'm so uneducated that this was my first Freddie movie ever seen. 

I love the idea, it's really creepy and it makes the movie kind of surrealistic and you can't be sure if the person is awake or not! 

There was again few actors that I knew from somewhere. 

And OF COURSE they kill off first my fave one! Not fair! And right after that My second fave. 

So yes, there was Ruby v.1 (Supernatural) as one of the actresses, it was so hard not to think her as non-ruby! XD And see her in different kind of role. Katie Cassidy was lovely indeed!

And Kellan's character was named Dean, it was really hard not to burst into laughter at that point. and it was in the start.

Also I'm not sure of what's the origin story of Freddy, so the story in here was quite uh. idek, well! It got me hooked, like the movie kept me in it's grasp the whole time. And like even that you kind of knew what was going to happen you still partly surprised. 

I just hate you know like that kind of movie villains that just purely don't die, like ever. And they keep on coming back again and again. And I think that Freddy is one of them. But, in his defense he really aren't real, like he exists only in dreams. So does that really count? 

I have quite good feeling that this is the best Freddy movie till now. Mostly because the special effects, or like I really just hate poorly made special effects, so that's my only argument. 

I think I really don't have anything else really to say.

3½/5 ... Because it wasn't just shit & good actors.
