Movie Review - The Watchmen


Pros

- Has enough action to be interesting, but not to make it focused on that.
- The scenes are slightly pessimistic, but not so far as to stray from reality.
- The end is a surprise to anyone who didn't read the comics, etc.
- It's complex, without being a mess.


Cons

- The only real issue I had with this film was the too long sex scenes which didn't advance the plot in the slightest.

Verdict

This is one of the best movies I have seen recently. It's complex, yet understandable, dark, but not depressing. Not the kind of movie you'd watch over and over, but one worth pulling out maybe once or twice a year.

Movie Review - Land of the Lost


I watched Land of the Lost today.

Pros

- Was in many ways, and during most of the movie very hilarious, yet it did go too far with this.
- Had pretty good special effects.
- Has a unique portrayal of people in general.
- Decent Acting

Cons


- Stereotypical love development.
- Fairly predictable.
- Went a bit too far with the comedy.
- Too much groping for my tastes.
- Weak, stereotypical story.

Verdict

An Okay movie. See it if you enjoy a lot of stupid comedy, and the kind of plot which has been done a million times before. The acting is pretty good, and the presentation is decent. Still, it can't be called a good movie. It did far surpass my expectations though.

First Blog Post


This is the first post of my new blog. I hope it goes well.

Hi, I am Seigeengine. I am here because I felt like sharing my opinions. Some have expressed a desire for me to make a blog, so I am. I'm going to be posting up, among other things, movie reviews. Short, and simple movie reviews. I have a few I've done in the past, and I'll use the same format. I'll get those up second, after I've posted the first, which will be in my second blog post.
