G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Worst Movie ever made
I would like to begin by asking the people who made this movie: what did all the G.i. Joe fans do to you to make you want to slap us in the face? This movie is one of the WORST movies I have ever had the misfortune to see. All the actors in this pile of junk were bad( except for the guys who played "Snake-Eyes" and "Storm Shadow". I though they did an okay job.) And the special effects were not all that great.
The story was non-sense and the liberties they took with some of the characters was just insulting. I mean, Cobra Commander and the Baroness Brother and sister? What were they on when they though that up? Speaking of special effects, the robot suits,or what ever they were supposed to be, that ware near the beginning of the movie was stupid looking and was not needed.These are G.I Joes we are talking about, they don't need no stupid looking suit to kick cobra tail. I rated this movie a 1 only because I could not go any lower. If you have any love for G.I Joe you will not watch this movie, don't even look at it when you go bye it in a store. Just pretend that it was never made.On a final note, they need to dump this movie in the same hole they put the Atari 2600 E.T game in, but even that is too good for this movie.
Duke Nukem Forever (2011)
The Duke is back
I have read a lot of reviews on this game and the majority have agreed that it is a mediocre game, but I haft to disagree. Now don't get me wrong,it is no masterpiece by a long shot, but it is a fun game that has a lot of nostalgia value for anyone that lived in the 90's(which I did)and it is fun to catch the references to the culture at that time. With that said lets me explain my view on the features of the game and then I will sum with my final thoughhts.
Gameplay 7/10: The controls in the game seem fine and the various objects you can interact with is always a fun distraction from killing waves of enemies. These range from pool tables to making popcorn in a microwave. The gun play was fine to me, but it does suffer, like most shooters, from becoming tedious after killing the hundredth foe in a row.
Graphics8/10: To me they looked good and I can't understand why everyone says they look so bad. I never noticed any pop-ins or texture problems.That being said , one part that was kind of annoying was the fact the people where not as well made as they should have been and some seemed kind of life less.
Characters 7/10: one the most important parts of a game to me is the characters in the game. Duke is cool as you would expect and his one-liners are great. Like I said before some of the other characters can seem kind of life less, but they're not all that bad.
Story6/10: Finally and most important is the story. This is most likely the weakest part of Duke Nukem Forever. I wont say I was confused by the story, but it was not all that deep, but like action movies of the 80's and 90's, the action, one-liners, and just plain fun do away with the problems of a weak story.
In conclusion, Duke Nukem Forever is not a masterpiece by any means except being just plain, simple, fun from beginning to end. If you like shooters, comedy, and if you are a fan of Duke Nukem, I would suggest picking this game up and giving it a try.
Outpost (2008)
A well made Action/Horror film
I have seen many zombie movies over the years, from classics like "Night of the Living Dead" to the more recent "Resident Evil" films. I can assure you though, that not many of them are as good as "Outpost". When I found this movie at a local store for only $3, I was thinking that I would be in for 90 minutes of blood and gore. Although it does have moments, the violence is out done by an interesting story, good actors, and some the best zombies I have ever seen.
The action scenes are great and keep you on the edge of your seat and the ending will stick in your mind for days after. Now you may wonderwhy I gave this movie a "9" and not a perfect score. Well, the plotkind of confused me for a while till I got into it and the ending, while interesting, left me kind of disappointed. These small gripes however do not take away from the full experience of this great zombie movie. I suggest anyone that likes action and zombie films to pick this up and give it a try, you won't regret it.
