Movie Review - Prometheus

Watched Prometheus today.  Was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.  Plus, my two favorite characters survived.  In so many movies and TV shows they don't.  It gets depressing after a while.

I'd give it a 8 out of 10 or maybe a 7.  I'm not really a fan of space/alien movies in general so I'm not sure how a die hard "aliens are out there" fan would like it.  That's not to say that I don't believe that aliens are out  there.  After all, the other option is to believe that we are alone in the universe.

One note about Prometheus, What's with telling David the he was made because we could make him?  What kind of answer was that?  I'd prefer to think that we make robots out of curiosity.  In order to find out what is a soul.  What makes us human?

Four Brothers

Watching the movie Four Brothers for the first time.  Good movie, I like the humor and there's a lot of action.  Bad thing - killed my favorite character yet again.  >_<

Movie Review - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit is a feast for the eyes.  Amazing graphics.  As far as I could tell it kept to the original storyline as well.  I'm not 100% certain as I've never been able to get very far into the book but the parts I had read were very well done in .

There are a few things that set this movie back from being one of my favorites though. First off the background music was less than average.  Secondly, that creepy thing that's always saying "my precious" really freaks me out.  I can't stand him.  Thirdly, it was so long.  I found myself yawning and zoning out at several parts.

I watched The Hobbit in 3D as well, so my eyes really hurt by the middle and were utterly tired by the end.  Then there's the added fact that I wear glasses.  3D glasses over regular glasses in not exactly the most pleasant experience and more than a little embarrassing.

I did like the choice of actor who played Bilbo Baggins. He was also in Sherlock. I think he is perfect for the role.

Movie Review - Battleship

I really need to stop listening to my brother on his movie advice.  He judges things way to harshly before even watching it.  The only reason I occasionally listen to him is because our taste in movies and anime use to be quite similar.  Over the past year however they have differed somewhat.

Anyways, what I'm trying to get at here is that the movie Battleship is really good with just the right amount of humor to lighten the mood.  You should give it a chance if you haven't yet.  It's become one of my favorites.
