The movie evaluator... directly from the theater seat
by Miguel Troyano
I saw this movie yesterday, knowing that it was not a very good comedy and I confirmed this. The story line and the basic structure as a false documentary is quite similar to "Borat". It's less eschatological than the previous film and some moments are laughing, but the formula is already slightly hackneyed. Without a doubt there are better options to see.
Just brilliant. David Yates made a great job. In my opinion this is the best movie of the saga at the moment. The fx are perfect, the environment is great and the story is dark, dramatic and adult... more adult and "less fantastic" than the previous films... You can see even violence and jealousy. There are several things of the original story that are not shown during the movie, but however this is the best Radcliffe's performance as Harry Potter, and indeed Watson and Grint (and the rest) did also a good work. Very recommendable!
This is a good third part. Technically the graphics and fx are slightly better that the first and second, but the basic line of the story is quite similar. I saw this movie in Digital 3D with a very good quality of sound and the result is great. The weasel Buck is a breath of fresh air in this saga, but anyway the parallel story of the squirrel Scratch (now in love!) is the best part of the movie. This is not a masterpiece, but it's a cool film to enjoy an evening (and of course specially if you go to see it with some nephews and nieces) ;)
I love the science fiction movies, but this is not a good one. The FX of this sequel are brilliant, even better than the first part's, but a lot of details of the story are almost ridiculous and sometimes I felt almost yawning waiting the end of some of the looooong fights between the robots. It's not a very very interesting movie even for geeks.
I had to see this movie, because for me Henry Selick is one of the genius of the animation since I saw the master piece "Nightmare before Christmas" (that I absolutely love!), and I really enjoyed this movie. The story is really less adult that Nightmare, but the film is brilliant. The environment, the characters, the surrealistic details, the animation, most of the factors are great. And the 3D format of the movie is very well integrated in the story. It doesn't distract you from the story, but it's a fantastic tool to enter and enjoy the film. Very recommendable (especially in 3D).
I was waiting for this movie since long time ago, and the result (as usual) is not as good as I wished, but anyway the it's a good science fiction film. The fx are really cool, although the story is very far away from the original stories of the Terminator Saga (especially from T1 y T2, of course). Christian Bale is a very credible John Connor, but I sincerely was waiting for a much more dehumanized fight between humans and machines (regarding the first movies), but this movie shows bigger and cooler machines although quite stupid!... Not like the cold and cruel assassins robots and droids with relentless mind of a "computer chess game" that could be reasonable and coherent with the original movies of Cameron. The machines of "The Matrix" are much more efficient in this task I think ;) Anyway, it's a good movie, especially to be seen in a good theater with THX and HD digital video projection.
Of course... I had to see this movie, even if the result was a shit. I feared that the result could be disappointing, but.... the film is a brilliant prequel! The immersion into the initial Star Trek universe is great, the plot is really good (specially the first 45 minutes), the action and the FX are fantastic, but I loved specially the rebooting of the original series with a brilliant election of new and fresh actors. Wow! You can see the young "original" crew of the FIRST "USS Enterprise" starting his career and working together!!!! And this cast is totally credible. JJ Abrams knew quite well how to manage the difficult task of coming to life again the great and old series. Well, the result is not "perfect" in all the ways, but I'm sure that Gene Roddenberry is not upset with him while he still floats around the Earth!! ;) A recommendable film for Trekkers and "non-Trekkers".
