This week's movie reviews - Week #16


All of this week's new movie reviews


The Raid 2: Berandal (2014)

Great sequels are rare. Great sequels within the time span of a month are rarer than gold but it's something that has really happened this month! Read more>

 8/10
Rio 2 (2014)

Not all sequels are per definition bad ones. Sequels can be fine, as long as you still put some creativity and real effort into the making of it and don't make it seem like just another, quick and safe, cash-grab by purely relying on the success of the first movie. Well, that's exactly what "Rio 2" does unfortunately, though I still wouldn't go as far to call this movie a terrible one as well. Read more>

 6/10
Ride Along (2014)

This may be a simplistic movie but at least it isn't an unpleasant one to watch as well. Read more>

 6/10
The Nut Job (2014)

With new big, computer animated, movies coming out every few other weeks or so, it's of course only a matter of time before the genre starts to turn into a tiresome one, with movies that all start to feel and look alike, of which none are doing anything new or surprising anymore. And yes, this animated movie is an extremely formulaic and mediocre one as well, that only barely entertains. Read more>

 5/10
Philomena (2013)

This is a cute and fun enough, warm, little movie but it's still lacking a certain bit of extra to turn this into a truly powerful and touching movie as well. Read more>

 7/10
The Appearing (2014)

This movie really doesn't sound like anything original but that however hardly is its biggest problem. Read more>

 4/10
The Harry Hill Movie (2013)

Most British comedies are known for their subtly but this movie is anything but subtle really! Read more>

 5/10
Kaijû daisensô (1965)

A yes, sequels in space! Normally it's not a great or very successful combination but leave it up to Gojira for it to still work out as something awesome and entertaining! Read more>

 8/10
The Dog Who Saved Easter (2014)

That Zeus is one busy dog! After saving Christmas back in 2009, the Christmas vacation in 2010, Halloween in 2011 and the holidays in 2012, he's back this year to save Easter! Read more>

 5/10
War of the Worlds: Goliath (2012)

Some people will love this movie because of its action and settings, while others are going to hate it for its lack of proper story and developments. So yes in any case, chances you are that you are either going to hate or love this movie. Read more>

 6/10
Son of Batman (2014) (V)

Just what we needed; another animated superhero movie. Reason why I never get too excited about these movies is because they rarely- and I mean very rarely, turn out to be truly great ones. Most of them are extremely and disappointingly mediocre ones, this one included unfortunately. Read more>

 6/10
Everywhen (2013)

What to say about this movie...I mean, I'm sure that the film-makers are very proud of it and they should be but I believe that even they, deep down, know and realize that this just isn't a very good movie as well. Read more>

 6/10
Gojira, Ebirâ, Mosura: Nankai no daiketto (1966)

This one generally speaking isn't among the most liked Gojira movies and I can definitely see why but personally, I still enjoyed the movie! Read more>

 7/10
Get Carter (2000)

It's fun to watch this movie 14 years after its releases. People at the time were getting tired of Sly and his attempts at acting and of course more than a few people were up on their high horses as well, just because of the fact that this is a remake of a semi-classic 1971 movie (what else is new?). Needless to say that the movie at the time also bombed and got critically panned but does all of that really say anything about the actually quality of this movie? Read more>
