Jason Bourne (2016)
What a shame, Just plain boring. (my review doesn't give any plot away)
How do you make Bourne boring? The original film is probably one of my favourite films. This one however, I just found myself rolling my eyes every few minutes especially during the first 30 minutes. After about 1.5 hours I had given up and was just waiting for it to finish.
When are these film makers going to stop it with the totally unbelievable computer hacking rubbish? In one scene they execute a program by typing "run predictive algorithm". In another scene, they spot someone on a surveillance camera and the female character actually says "enhance". Come on! How cliché. What is this, the 1980's??
It isn't total and utter crap. It is as well made as the other Bourne films, except for that annoying, erratic fight scene camera work that seems to be in every action film at the moment, So you can't actually see what is going on. It has some OK action scenes but they do nothing to make it interesting. Nothing really happens. The plot is weak and the film is just plain boring. And I'm a fan of the trilogy! (Not the odd number 4 film which incidentally is better than this)
Matt Damon is as good as he can be I suppose. Tommy Lee Jones, who I like as an actor, doesn't really bring anything to the film because his character is boring as well. I just can't help but feel they cashed in and made another one without really caring if it was any good or not as they knew everyone (me included) would go and watch it because all the others are so good!
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
The worst film I have ever seen
Quite simply the worst film I have ever seen. Don't even waste your money on the DVD. I lost count of the amount of times i rolled my eyes while watching this. You know those really crappy syfy channel films like "crocosaur" or some other rubbish, this is worse. At least those films know what they are trying to be. What does Michael Bay think we want to see as movie goers? This man really doesn't understand "cool". He seems to have it hopelessly confused with "cheese" and what on earth was Mark Walberg doing in this movie? They must have paid him an amount of money he simply couldn't say NO to. Generally Walberg does decent films but this is definitely his worst ever. I would give it 0 stars if i could. I hated every minute of it. Utter rubbish.
