The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Richard E. Grant, Eugenio Derbez, Keira Knightley, Mackenzie Foy, Misty Copeland, and Jayden Fowora-Knight in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)


My Thoughts:

-    This movie was okay, and everything about it was just okay.

-    The story was alright. It wasn't anything special, but it was okay.

-    The cast was good, but Keira bugged.

-    Visually, the movie is stunning, and that is mostly what it has going for it. 

-    There were clowns! Clowns that come apart! The scenes with them lasted WAY too long. 

-    It is a good family flick, but I think the kids will enjoy it more than adults. I don't care if I see it again.

The Lego Movie



My Thoughts:

-    This was the spazziest movie I've ever seen. It was crazy. 

-    That was a horrible HORRIBLE Batman. I didn't like Han Solo either. Bad Batman + Bad Han Solo = TERRIBLE! You can't mess with two of my favorites!

-    I thought the talking legos would bug me, but I was actually okay with it.

-    I liked the way the legos moved around and fell apart. That was fun.

-    Yes, the Everything is Awesome song got stuck in my head, and I didn't hate it.

-    There was a lot of Will Ferrell, and I hate Will Ferrell!

-    I liked the end messages of the movie. At least there was some moral value after this acid trip.

Now You See Me



My Thoughts:

-    My mind is blown! I don't even know what just happened! I HAVE to see this movie again. I need to pick up on everything I missed. 

-    I hadn't heard much about this movie, but then I saw a review for it on the news, and it really caught my attention! I was not disappointed.

-    The magicians are always ahead in the game, and it is awesome to watch them toy with the cops. The police are just chasing their tails. 

-    The acting was great! I really enjoyed all the characters, and I was surprised at some of the cast. I didn't know who was going to be in this movie, so it was a pleasant surprise to see some of them.

-    I felt like part of the audience in crowd, not just in the theater, but in the movie. I felt like I was part of the audience watching a magic show. It was really fun!

-    I really wanted to see how the magicians pulled off everything they did. It reveals some things, but it doesn't explain everything, and that is kind of driving me nuts! 

-    The ending is crazy! I did not see it coming AT ALL! I was flabbergasted! 

-    The action was good, and it was fun!

-    This movie was very entertaining, and I recommend seeing it! 


Hubby's Thought:

-    This was definitely worth seeing, and I want to see it again.

-    It has you guessing the whole movie, and it had me entertained the whole time.

-    Good acting!

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!

The Dark Knight



My Thoughts:

-    This is a fantastic movie!!  Again, it wasn't entirely accurate, but they captured the essence of Batman!

-    I like how they showed Batman wannabes.  There would really be guys like that.  

-    I hate that they switched actresses for Rachel.  Not that I'm a Katie Holmes fan, but I just hate seeing a different face and having to think it's the same character.  

-    I love Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent.  He was awesome!  I can't decide if he is a good looking fella or not. 

-    Maggie Gyllenhaal looks old.

-    The Joker was fabulous!!  I couldn't even recognize that it was Heath Ledger!!  Why wasn't he playing bad guys from the beginning of his career?  It is a tragedy that he died before we could see him play more awesome roles.

-    Every move Joker made was a total surprise to me!  I didn't see some things coming.  It was crazy!

-    Someone finally understands Batman and who he is!!  His whole existence is based on revenge.  He could easily slip into the dark and become no better than the joker, but it's compassion and good people like Alfred who keep him on track!  

-    The story was awesome!  The acting was great!  The cast was amazing!  The action was intense and thrilling!  This movie was so good!


Tyson's Thoughts:

-    If I ever own a company,, I want Morgan Freeman to run it.

-    (during the fundraiser) That is how I'd crash a party if I could crash a party.

-    It was good...Batman good...It was no Adam West, but it was good.

Hubby's Thought:

-    Rachel looks like she is a good looking old lady.


Series Info:

This is the 2nd movie in the Batman trilogy.  Click on the cover below for my thoughts on the first movie.

Batman Begins



My Thoughts:

-    This is a great movie!  It isn't entirely accurate, but I enjoy it!  I think they captured the essence of Batman.

-    Christian Bale is a really good Batman, but the 90s animated Batman will always be the best one!

-    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michael Caine as Alfred!!

-    They cast Jim Gordon perfectly as well!  

-    The action sequences are a lot of fun to watch, and they keep you on edge!  It makes me want to play Batman: Arkham Asylum.

-    I think Liam Neeson did a fantastic job, as usual, but I don't like him as a bad guy.  He is too awesome to hate.  I think Ken Watanabe should have been the real Ra's Al Ghul.  

-    Some of the dialogue is a just great!  The banter between Bruce and Alfred and Fox makes me laugh!  There are very fun quotable lines int his movie!

-    Batman has this "no kill" rule, and he doesn't break it, but he sure bends it a lot!

-    In a nutshell, the casting was amazing, the story is great, the action is great.  It is a fun movie!


Hubby's Thought:

-    Tyson's dad could play Jim Gordon.

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    I did notice that Batman destroys a lot of the city before saving it.

-    It needs a good lady, like Batgirl or Catwoman.
