The Meg Movie Review

The Meg is another shark film that is the way that you would exactly expect it to be, and it's pretty entertaining.

I don't think that I need to explain the plot of the film much, but it's basically Jason Statham vs Megalodon.
This movie is campy in all the right ways and it's a really fun ride. I know that I'm a little (lot) late to reviewing this movie but, gall darn it! I'm getting it done! This movie knows what it is, and it's fine with that.
Some of the dialogue is off at times. In a way, it's like the actors were like, "Alright I said the line, now give me the money," kind of way. Also some of the scenes came off funnier than they were meant to be.
To be honest, Jason Statham is the best part of this film. He kills it in his part and I can't see anyone else play his character. The Meg was almost written for him. It looked like he had fun with it and that's a good thing.
Overall, this is a fun shark film that is worth seeing in theaters. It's no Jaws, but it's still entertaining in the end.

final score: 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

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would
