After seeing The Hangover in 2009, I could not wait for Part II to be released and it was worth it. I really don't get why people are saying this movie sucks because it has the same plot. What do they expect? Of course Todd Phillips is gonna use the same formula as the original but it works with this one. I can honestly say while Phillips did take this one a step up with how crude and nasty the jokes are, it still made me fall out of my seat laughing, especially Alan's new attitude in this. To me, the only thing that would make The Hangover Part II a failure is if Alan was the one the trio ended up losing the night before. Without him, The Hangover movies would suck! Sure, we got Phil's sarcasm and the craziness of Ed Helms but Alan is the one with it all. Overall, I give it a 9/10.

I was anxious to see this because I saw that Michael Bay was going to direct it but dang! Michael Bay actually pulled it off! He took one of my most cherished childhood memories and turned it into a big screen masterpiece! This was one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen with some of the most breath-taking special effects you've never seen before! I stood up and applauded the film when the credits rolled, as did two other people in the theater, because it doesn't disappoint. The film is not entirely true to the original cartoon series but it's enough to keep you entertained with great action, comedy, and spectacular special effects.

After the first Spider-Man, which was phenomenal, I was kinda losing my faith in all the adaptations they were making. Some of the worst ones I'd consider are Daredevil, Spider-Man 3, Ghost Rider, and Hulk. Some of the only okay ones are X2, Spider-Man 2, and X-Men Origins:Wolverine. After seeing Iron Man, all I can say is:Wow! Marvel has redeemed itself with this spectacle that I consider the best adaptation they've done. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect as billionaire Tony Stark who becomes the Invincible Iron Man. It had everything I wanted in summer action films and a little bit more. If you like Marvel like I do, then you'll definitely love this masterpiece that Jon Favreau has created. 10/10

I just took my brother to see the latest film in Michael Bay's blockbuster Transformers series and I must say that he and I enjoyed it just as much, or probably even better than the first two. I actually do heart the first one the most but that's me. I rate this film 10/10 because I'm a die hard action movie fan and that's basically the reason he and I go to see movies like this. We were both disappointed when we heard that Megan Fox was not returning due to conflicts with her and Bay but nevertheless, we loved this movie from beginning to end. The Transformers movies are all awesome to me. My overall opinion about this movie is that it's a great final chapter to the trilogy.

I just got through watching Toy Story 3 and it is the greatest Pixar movie ever! Though the story was just like the other two films, the new characters such as Lotso, Big Baby, Ken, Buttercup, and Trixie make Toy Story 3 the sequel that it is. The ending almost made me cry because I knew that this was the last in the series since Andy departed off to college and Woody and the gang became fit with Bonnie's toys as a family. There is one thing I'll admit and it was the big baby-s face. In a way, it looked like a Chucky doll without hair. But that's the only thing I slightly didn't like about a character of the movie. Other than that, everything about Toy Story 3 is infinity and beyond with excellence and animation.

I've always been a fan of the 007 movies but all I had to say after I saw Casino Royale was...actually I was speechless. Daniel Craig makes the best Bond and gives what maybe one of the best performances of his career. I'm very happy that they have rebooted the entire 007 franchise and they've started it off nicely. Basically the story is as simple as any other Bond film:James must stop a terrorist banker he suspects throughout a poker game. The acting is done very well, the action sequences are stunted nicely, and the chemistry between Bond and Vesper is very romantic. Overall, my title says it all but just keep in mind that this is my opinion about the latest Bond movie:That it is quite possibly the best 007 movie ever.

In all honesty, this is now my new favorite Tim Burton movie. Sweeney Todd was first but now Alice beat it. But why all the hating?! What was there not to like about this movie? Everything was excellent about this movie especially Johnny Depp's performance as the Mad Hatter. My favorite character in terms of adorableness is the Cheshire Cat, who was totally cute in this version. I loved his apearing and disappearing ability. The only character I did not like was the Red Queen (not because she's the bad guy and she's supposed to not be liked) but because she got on my nerves with her off with the head phrase constantly being used and her yelling frequently. But overall this movie is a fantastic new version of a classic story from the master Tim Burton.

I've always been a fan of the Die Hard series and I have to say that this one was surprisingly great. I loved that he has a new partner where the comedy mixes really good with the action just like the third movie. Although, I honestly thought that Samuel L. Jackson was a better and more funnier partner to John McClane but Justin Long proves worthy. I'd have to say that two of my favorite scenes are where John and Matt head to Freddy's a.k.a the warlock house and they have a sarcastic dialogue throughout about his basement and his posters. Over all the action is great, the comedy is good, and this is a great action film as well as one of the best films in the series.

I just saw this movie yesterday and all i had to say was WOW! This is one cool movie based on an old TV show. Obviously Liam Neeson was a perfect choice as the team's leader Hannibal but what really got my attention was Bradley Cooper's macho performance as Face. He was hilarious and smart as the team's master of disguise. Sharlto Copley as Murdock was probably the best, especially his crazy flying skillz and Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will always remind me of B.A. and Mr. T whenever I see him in another movie. My overall review in a few words of this movie is awesome, terrific, cool, and badass. And that's my review of A-Team, the summer's best action movie.

I just saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with my stepbrothers and I must say that I'm not surprised that this one is rated so good. Almost every Harry Potter film I've seen have gotten better and better than the last one. Although the Goblet of Fire is my favorite one out of the films, this one runs pretty close to replacing it. I love how Ron and Hermione's relationship begins to grow stronger and I almost cried when Dumbeldore dies at the end. I think that the Deathly Hallows will be just as great as the other 6 films and I cannot wait for its release this November. The Half-Blood Prince is one of the best in the series.

Why all the negativity? Revenge of the Fallen was everything you look for in a summer action blockbuster. Sure, it did have some plot holes and some annoying new characters but overall, it's a must-see for any Transformers-fan like myself. The effects and fight scenes, especially the big battle in Egypt, are all very spectacular. Coming from Michael Bay, that's saying a lot to me. I never thought he could pull off a sequel that would be as good as the originals. Although I still adore the first movie, this is an excellent entry into the series. Should Bay make a third film in the franchise, then count me in. Cannot wait to see the Autobots kick more a**.

As a kid, I remember watching the first two Toy Story films frequently and collecting all the characters from the movie. I found out that it was the very first computer-animated film about two years ago and assumed that's why the movie is still so popular. Woody and Buzz are what made the film what it was then and today and were my favorite characters. I'd have to say that my favorite scene is where Woody and Buzz are launched in the air from the rocket and Buzz frees himself to fly into Andy's toy box. The film remains a classic and always will be to me. I also cannot wait for the third movie to come out June 18, 2010 because I'll be the first in line.
