Baywatch



I remember seeing the previews for Baywatch and thinking that there was a decent enough chance that the movie could actually be funny. I wasn’t able to catch it in theatres and now that I’ve rented it, I’m glad I didn’t waste $20 on this movie.

This movie was a complete disaster. The plot made absolutely no sense, the script was unoriginal and the majority of the film lacked any humor, honestly the only funny parts were in the previews. They tried to be self-deprecating, which can be really funny, but they did it so many times that in the end it started to fall flat.

Overall this movie was a disappointment and waste of time. Avoid this one, if you can, at all costs.

The Fate of the Furious




The Fate of the Furious was far from what I hoped it would be. It had potential with its signature high octane action sequences and strong female leads, Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren, in powerful roles.Where it fell off was the plot that lacked any sort of originality and the absolutely dreadful script that was void of comedic timing and was beyond corny.

Outside of Charlize and Helen there wasn’t much quality in the acting department. By far the worst in this category were The Rock and Tyrese. The lines they delivered were so bad it became a distraction and destroyed any redeeming quality left in this move.


In the end, I’m happy I didn’t waste $10 watching this movie in theatres and just wish I hadn’t lost 2 hours of my life with this rental. I honestly think this one might be the worst in the franchise. Sadly, because of how much it made, there will be another sequel. I really hope that the 9th will be the end to this terrible tornado of a franchise.

Spider-Man: Homecoming


I finally got to see Spider-Man: Homecoming and am happy to report that it was as good as I hoped it would be. This franchise has been rejuvenated with its fresh, young class. The new Spider-Man, Tom Holland, is so good. He’s the perfect amount of quirky and nerdy while still having a fun and likeable personality. This isn’t the dull and lack luster personality of Spider-Men of the past, this kid is a perfect fit.

In addition to the proper casting of Spider-Man I also really liked the diversity of the rest of the cast. They all played well off one another and were fun to watch. I also enjoyed the witty script, the plot was engaging and the action sequences were shot with some great quality. They didn’t look cheap or fake. The only thing that I would change would be to cut down some of the roll time because it took a bit too long to get to the point. Other than that. this film was very entertaining and I’d definitely recommend checking it out before it leaves the theatres. Also, as to be expected with any Marvel film, be sure to stay until the end to catch some sneak peaks for future films.
