The Darkest Minds Movie Review


So I just saw The Darkest Minds the other day and it was way different from what I thought it would be.

So the plot of the movie goes that kids get infected with a disease, and some die, but the survivors gain special powers. We follow one powerful girl and her new friends as the try to find refuge.
So, this movie hits every single cliche in the freaking book. This is a highly generic YA movie. I really mean that. Every cliche. For example they will talk about a mysterious character earlier in the film, and you know exactly who they are talking about. The twist is so predictable, I almost feel bad for the actors who had to be in this movie.
So, speaking of the actors, they are all fine for the most part. The do well with what they are given, but what they are given is an utter embarrassment to the film industry. The main character Ruby, is played by Amandla Stenberg, is the same actress that played Rue, in the first Hunger Games movie. Honestly though, she is a fine actress and I don't have a problem with her, but it just feels like this movie was just a paycheck to her and she didn't have much passion behind it, which is fine.
Now one thing I didn't expect when going into this movie was how freaking funny this movie is. I mean I expected this film to be comically bad going in, but I didn't expect that it would be as funny as it was. The Darkest Minds is probably one of the funniest films that I have seen all year! I laughed my butt off watching this to the point that my gut hurt at some parts in the movie. That is the only reason this movie will be getting a higher score than it deserves.
Now you may have passed this one up thinking it looks stupid, and you're not wrong, but please grab a group of friends and go and see this movie. You will probably laugh your butts off and that is pretty much the only reason to go and see this film.


final score: 2.5/5

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...
