This Means War movie review


 This Means War movie review


Let me begin by saving I only watched this movie because their wasn't anything else on at the moment. This Means War is about two spies who meet the same girl and make a bet of who can get her to love them first. At a glance this appears to be one of those romantic movies that attempts to gain male view. It sadly fails at this like every other romance. This film has a great cast with Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon. So basically Bane and Captain Kirk are fighting for Ell Woods heart. Chris Pine was good in this film not up to star trek good but still good. His action scenes were entertaining and his sarcasm was enjoyable for a while but eventually seemed like whining. Tom Hardy was okay in this movie seemed like he was trying to be James Bond but at the same time trying to be funny. He honestly should have just reprised his role from Inception because that's the character that I was looking for the entire time. Just stick to being Gotham's reckoning Tom Hardy. Reese Witherspoon as usual was good its understandable why two spies would fight over her. She was playing an independent woman which was a first for her. Normally she plays either the dumb blonde or the scared girl. he connection with both male actors was good but her scenes with Tom Hardy seemed like she was scared almost. Maybe she had just seen Batman and feared him just as much as Anne Hathaway. Its almost like ew I'm kissing Bane get Kirk back here now. In addition the action scenes in this film were surprising good normally they are cheesy but the were decent. They were incredibly intense but in one scene Tom Hardy has a Rambo moment playing paintball. In conclusion this means war is a good movie better than this critic expected. I'm going to give it a 6 out of 10 only because its a romance and most romances are highly predictable which this film is. The action is decent and the acting is sub par but over all a good movie for a rainy day. I wouldn't buy it but maybe red box for a dollar.

The Fugitive Movie Review

The Fugitive Poster


The Fugitive movie review.
This movie is kind of old but is a must see for anyone. Harrison Ford on in anything is usually greatness waiting to happen. In this film he plays a doctor who is accused of his wife's murder, and after being arrested he escapes because the transport bus taking him crashes. Now he is on the run as a fugitive hints the title. This film stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. I loved both of them in this film their chemistry was great. Tommy Lee Jones plays the US Marshal in this film who in charge of capturing the escaped prisoners. He really plays an officer nicely because he is usually better in more serious roles. One line in the movie where Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford have a stare down. Harrison tells him he didn't murder his wife and Tommy Lee Jones answers I don't Care. In typical Tommy Lee Jones fashion you could tell by the expression on his face that he truly didn't care. Harrison Ford in this film was almost Han Solo again. A fugitive on the run, minus chewbacca of course. Along with a good pair of leading actors this film is also action packed. it seems like even the site of Harrison Ford moving papers is exciting. "looks and looks and then bites burger" even scenes like this would be exciting. This film draws you in from beginning to end and has your heart racing and skipping a few beats. In conclusion the Fugitive is one of my favorite Harrison Ford films. it gives you everything from a drama to an action to even a mystery. If you were to give him a black mask with ears he could be Batman at the end of the Dark Knight running from the police. Honestly their isn't much that could make this film better. I'm glad they didn't ruin all of this action with some pointless love interest like they usually do. So the Fugitive gets a 8 out of 10 in my book. This is one old film that is going on my must get DVD or blu ray list. next time your out look for the fugitive it gives you everything you want it will not disappoint.
