The Jungle Book

My Thoughts:

-    I loved this more than I thought I would! Great film! We rented it from RedBox, and I watched it twice before returning it the next day.

-    This movie is the perfect blend of paying tribute to the original Disney classic while creating something completely new and exciting.

-    I LOVED that they used some of the original music. The opening scene was awesome, and it just gave me chills.

-    I didn't think there would be any singing in this film, but I loved it when King Louie and Baloo busted out into song.

-    The CG is AMAZING! I can't believe how awesome this movie looks.

-    The cast was spot on perfect! I loved every single character. Each actor was perfect for their role.

-    Neel Sethi's performance was awesome! He is so talented for a little boy. He practically acted the whole movie in front of a giant green screen with green screen props. That is hard for a lot of seasoned actors. I'm really impressed. 

-    My only complaint is that Bagheera made a lot of noise. A panther would never make that much noise walking around the jungle. 

-    I wish the vultures had made an appearance in the film, but I'm not sure how they would have fit in. The movie is still good without them, but it would have been fun to see them. 

-    Great movie! I'll probably buy this.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

My Thoughts:

-    I was really skeptical about this one, but it wasn't horrible.

-    They did a good job with Vision. His character design is pretty spot on. Him being Jarvis though.....

-    Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were okay as well. BUT They were not experimented upon!!! They were born as mutants!!

-    The whole Hulk and Black Widow thing was awful! Gag! In fact, the Hulk was really dumb in this one. Worst Hulk portrayal ever!! I'm getting sick of what they are doing with Black Widow as well.

-    I thought Tony Stark destroyed all his suits? I guess he built more?

-    Stark and Banner did NOT create Ultron!! Hank Pym created Ultron!! 

-    The action sequences were alright. The beginning had some pretty rough CG though.

-    I was really bugged that some of the super powers were being stretched! Captain American throwing his bike!?!? Ya right! Quicksilver moving a car? HECK NO! He is fast, not super strong.

-    Hawkeye does not have a family! Gag! I enjoyed all the Renner scenes though. Dang he has nice hair!

-    James Spader was an amazing voice for Ultron! I loved that!

-    I rolled my eyes quite a few times and made grunt noises, but overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

-    I LOVED the Stan Lee cameo as usual!

We Bought a Zoo

My Thoughts:

-    Suey said Jenni and I had to watch this movie, especially since we're animal lovers. She has been wanting us to watch this for a while, so on our movie night, we watched Chocolat AND this. It was a long but awesome movie night.

-    Despite Matt Damon, I liked it. It was cute, heart-warming, and fun. 

-    I loved that little red head girl. She was SO adorable!

-    I want to buy a zoo!

-    The tiger broke my heart. He was in pain and super old. It was hard to see that.

-    The father/son relationship was frustrating. The kid needed a kick in the butt, and the dad was being too lax. I sort of liked how they resolved it, but it took way too long. 

-    I liked Scarlett Johansson a lot. She did good, but she needs a new hair style.

-    I LOVED all the animals. Thinking about that bear taking a stroll through town still puts a smile on my face. 

-    Overall, this is a great family friendly movie. If you have a tender heart, watch it with a tissue. 

The Island

My Thoughts:

-    I wish the doctor's offices had a toilet that checked pee.  Then I wouldn't have to mess with the cup. 

-    McGregor needs that mole on his forehead removed.

-    That facility's security sucks!!  It is supposed to be super advanced right?  WRONG!

-    There were moments that reminded me of Dollhouse

-    MSN Search in 2019?  Ya right!!  ha ha ha!!  

-    There were some queasy moments where I shielded my eyes.

-    After falling off the big red "R" (which looks likes the Team Rocket building), they'd be dead.  

-    The action scenes were great!  I loved the train wheel scene.  That was awesome!!

-    It was a really good flick overall.  I really liked the message it sent.  

Tyson's Thought:

-    Scarlett Johansson has some smooth skin.

Hubby's Thought:

-    This movie should have taken play further in the future.  

The Avengers

My Thoughts:

-    AAAAWWWEESSSSOOOOOOMMMMEE!!!

-    Well...there were a few things I didn't like, but I'm a Marvel Comic buff, so I'm picky.

-    The SHIELD uniforms were changed, and I didn't like the design a ton.

-    Bringing all The Avengers together was so great!!  I was geekin' out!!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they did individual movies and then brought them together!  I wish Iron Man's movies had a better bad guy...like Mandarin, his nemesis!  Overall the movies have been really well done!  Thank the maker that Marvel took over!!!!!!!!!!

-    I didn't like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.  It bugged me. They cast picture perfect people for all the others, but they seriously screwed up Nick Fury.

-    There was a chick being Nick Fury's second in command.  I have no idea where that chick came from!! She stole Black Widow's job!  Black Widow is SHIELD's #2!  Everything that other chick did was Black Widow's job.  I know she was buys with other things, but they didn't have to replace her.

-    The fight scenes were fantastic!!  The CG was some of the best!!  Some of my favorite parts are where the heroes are battling each other.  SO GREAT!!  This movie had some of the best action sequences I've seen for a while. 

-    That was probably the best Hulk I've ever seen...EVER!  Out of ALL the hulk movies, this one was awesome!

-    Loki isn't an evil person.  He is the God of Mischief.  He caused a whole lot of problems, and he was a HUGE trouble maker, but he wasn't evil.

-    There were a few scenes where I thought I was going to die laughing!!!  OH MY GOSH!!  The best one was the Hulk/Loki scene.  If you've seen the movie already, you know what I'm talking about!!

-    The Stan Lee cameo was funny.

-    The creatures that came through the portal looked like Locusts to me (from Gears of War).  I think they kinda stole that design.  They didn't really say, but I think they came from the Shadow Realm.  If so, COOL!  The head honcho bad guy you see at the end...I know that face!!  I can't put a name to it right now, but I know that guy, and I'm stoked!!  There better be a 2nd Avenger movie!

-    How come Hawkeye didn't have his suit?  The purple suit with the mask.  Where was it? 

-    All the actors (minus Jackson) were phenomenal!!!!  They were born to play those roles.  They could have done better with Black Widow, but Scarlett Johansson did alright.  Robert Downey Jr. cracks me up!!

-    I could go on and on and on, but I think this is sufficient!  Overall, it was really well done!  This is a must see movie!!

p.s.   I want a Deadpool movie now!  Please Marvel!!
