Army Of The Dead Movie Review

A Fun Action Film

Zach Snyder's new action film, Army Of The Dead is a fun time with some good lines that you should see with friends.

Army Of The Dead follows a group of people sneaking into Las Vegas days before it's set to be nuked as the city has been overrun by zombies. The team's goal is to pull off a multimillion dollar heist and get out before the bomb is dropped.

If you like zombie films, Army Of The Dead is one I would recommend watching. The action is fun, there are some good lines, and the film has some solid CGI. I really think Zack had a blast directing this. But there are a few complaints to be made too.

But first I want to highlight some of the good points. The zombies are really cool and the fight scenes are well crafted to the point there is never a dull moment. I'm impressed by how fluid and natural the fight scenes are. And oh the explosions, a couple times I could have sworn Michael Bay did some consulting (in a good way) for a couple scenes. I did think there was going to be some more slowmo than there actually was because Zack Snyder is kinda known for it.

The directing was on point. Zack knew what he wanted from his cast and crew and he got it out of them. I think Army Of The Dead would have been a fun set to have been on. The lighting was solid and the cinematography was great. The music was perfect for the film.

Now the plot is a bit predictable. This isn't anything you haven't seen before with the cliches that are in the film, which is a real shame. Army Of The Dead did have the potential to take the plot up a notch but they played it safe. That doesn't make the film bad, but it does take my rating down a few notches.

If you're looking for a mindless, fun, action film to go and see with your friends, then consider seeing Army Of The Dead. It looks like the Summer Blockbusters are coming early.

final score: 3.3/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
