Ocean's 8

Image result for ocean's 8 poster


My Thoughts:

-    This was a really fun movie!

-    I loved the cast! Everyone was awesome! Sandra Bullock was amazing. Helena Bohnam Carter cracked me up! I've never seen Cate Blanchett play a role like this before, and she was fabulous.

-    There were a lot of similarities with Ocean's Eleven, but this was still its own movie.

-    The heist was so much fun to watch. I loved every moment.

-    I enjoyed seeing Richard Armitage, but I wish his character wasn't such a coward. He wasn't that attractive to me in this one. I prefer brooding Armitage.

Interstellar




My Thoughts:

-    Another movie that didn't live up to the hype.

-    I knew I shouldn't have watched this, but I was outvoted on movie night.

-    The robot made me laugh every time it moved around. Why didn't it just roll around all the time?

-    The cast was good. I liked Michael Caine. McConaughey looked super thin, almost sickly. Jenni said it was because of a previous role. 

-    The majority of the movie was really slow and boring. It had its moments, but not enough of them.

-    The ending was cheesy and dumb. Wow! Humans are so amazing that we can save ourselves from extinction! Wahoo!

-    Thought above was sarcasm in case some of you didn't get that.

-    I liked the real interviews from people from a drought. That was cool. 

-    I didn't find this as thought provoking as people led me to believe. It was slow and boring, and the ending was corny.

The Dark Knight Rises



My Thoughts:

-    I was really disappointed.  The last movie was so awesome, and it was going to be tough to follow, but this was just really disappointing.

-    Bane isn't big enough, and his voice is really lame.  I couldn't understand half of what he said!  He wasn't even Bane.  They could have called him a different name and no one would have known it was supposed to be Bane.  They really messed up on him.  How does he eat?

-    Anne Hathaway did good as Catwoman.  I was impressed by her performance.  There were a couple moments where her fighting looked jerky and awkward, but she did good overall.

-    They took A LOT more liberties with this movie than they did in the previous 2.  I didn't like it at all!!  I could forgive the discrepancies in the other movies cause they still had the essence of Batman, but this movie had too many changes.

-    Batman's plane looks more like a cockroach or a beetle than a bat.

-    Why did they make Batman a cry baby?  That really bugged me!!  Batman would NEVER turn into a cry baby like that!!  He NEVER would tell Alfred to get lost, and there would NEVER be a time when Gotham doesn't need Batman.  There are too many villains!  

-    They really messed up on Talia...I'm not even gonna go there!  They just really screwed up.

-    They made the same mistake as the older Batman movies!  They added WAY too many characters into a single film.  They should have used the other characters that they developed through 2 movies.  They just shoved Gordon into a hospital and got him out of the way, and they got rid of Alfred early on.  Then they added in Bane, Catwoman, Robin, a  new cop dude, and Talia!!  This was a bad decision!

-    This movie didn't have the intensity that I loved about previous movies, so disappointing!

-    The story was lacking!  They really didn't think this one through.

-    I want a do over please!!  


Tyson's Thoughts:

-    I really like Anne Hathaway.  She was a good Catwoman.

-    I could only understand every 3rd word Bane said.  Why was he German?

Hubby:    Slept through half the movie!

Les Miserables



My Thoughts:

-    I finally got the nerve to go see this.  I've been worried since it was announced.  I've been a huge fan of this since high school, and I've even had the pleasure to play in the orchestra for the play.  I just didn't want them to botch it.

-    This was good, but I've seen better.

-    I thought Marius sounded like Kermit the Frog.  He did good, but I wasn't a fan of his voice.

-    Anne Hathaway blew me away!  I did not know she could sing like that!  

-    Hugh Jackman did good.  I still don't think he looked the part of Jean Valjean, but he did good.  I kinda wish he was more of a baritone voice than a tenor, and I wish he would have gone falsetto during Bring Him Home...like it supposed to be sung.

-    Russell Crowe was good for Russell Crowe, but I don't think he was powerful enough.  There was something I liked about his voice, but not for Javert.

-    Cosette was good!  She sang like a bell.  She had a very pleasant voice.

-    I love that they took the Eponine from the Broadway show for the movie.  She was awesome!

-    I loved that Helena Bonham Carter was in it!  She was fantastic, and so was the innkeeper.  That was probably my favorite innkeeper I've ever seen.

-    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE 10x LOVE that Colm Wilkinson (who played Jean Valjean in the original London cast) played the bishop!!!!! EEE!!

-    There were a few alterations to the story and music, but not much.

-    I cried.  I admit it!

-    I wish they had shown Eponine at the end.  Fantine AND Eponine come to get Jean Valjean when he dies.

-    Sword fight between Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe = Epic!

-    That camera got awfully close to the face most of the time!  

-    Overall it was really good, but I still love Broadway better. 

-    It took every ounce of restraint to not sing along in the theater.  I caught myself humming the clarinet part a couple times, but I refrained from singing!


p.s.  Can we get another shot and Phantom now?



Hubby's Thought:

-    I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob!
