Ok, so some things will never change no matter where we are. Even though I am sure there are plenty of other things we could be spending our money on, there is one thing we must get in on a weekly basis – movies.
So far we have seen Pirates of the Caribbean – At Worlds End, Ocean’s 13 and today, the Fantastic Four – Rise of the Silver Surfer. Garrison and I used to listen to our record of the Fantastic Four with his fav character being Ben (The Thing) and mine was the Torch (with the cool “flame on”).
Pirates was a bit of a let down, although a third instalment always bodes ill. In short the review would read, far too long and seemingly centered on one of the least interesting characters (the chick). However the intricate plot was not hard to follow (as per other reviewers statements), the graphics were totally cool and the ending not a happy one really and that always surprises seeing as we are so accustomed to these. In all probably a 5 out of 10.
Ocean’s 13 was not as well done as the first or second but kept my interest all the way through. The “reveal” of how they did it was unexciting as there wasn’t anything to “reveal” as it was pretty transparent. The pairing of Pitt and Clooney is always great as they work really well together. Thankfully no chicks to centre on or pull away from the story. I would give it a 6 out of 10.
Finally, F4. Graphics were awesome, storyline really good except for the wedding palava continuing through and ruining a really good ride. Seriously need to replace the Invisible Woman as her acting is just that – invisible. Is she using botox because the lack of expression seems to be a give away? Same goes for Julian McMahon. Again the graphics were incredible. Go Weta! I would rate this a 7 out of 10 and an enjoyable rainy afternoon activity.
