Bright - Film Review

-
I may be sick, but at least I get to reveiw Bright.

 Bright is directed by David Ayer and stars Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Lucy Fry and Noomi Rapace.

Plot
Set in a world where mystical creatures live side by side with humans. A human cop, Daryl Ward (Will Smith) is forced to work with an Orc (Joel Edgerton) to find a weapon everyone is prepared to kill for.

Review
I don't know where to start, I really don't like this movie.

This film's premise is interesting, humans and mythical creatures living side by side, but fails in every way.

I should also mention that the guy who directed this directed Suicide Squad, which I reviewed last month. Suicide Squad is much better than Bright.

I really don't remember much about the story as this is a very forgettable movie. It has very slow pacing too, I kept checking to see how much longer I had left to watch. There's a lot of stuff that could have been cut from a movie that's just a little under two hours. This is one of my least favorite films of the year, it's better than Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but worse than Death Note.

All I can really remember is that there were Orcs, fairies, elves, a magic wand, Will Smith, discrimination against Orcs, wow, this thing is forgettable.

Let's talk about the characters. Will Smith is ok as Daryl Ward, an LAPD officer. The only reason I know that is his name is because I found out his first name online when I was looking up the cast for this movie and his last name because I heard it just randomly in the movie. He's rather forgettable.

Joel Edgerton is alright as Nick Jakoby, the first ever Orc cop, and is partnered with Daryl. The only reason I know his name is because I heard his first name just somewhere in there and his last name is on his uniform.

Lisa Fry is forgettable as Tikka, a young elf who has the magic wand. I remember almost nothing about her except she stole the wand and she spoke Elvish. I didn't know her name until after I watched this movie and looked it up online.

Noomi Rapace is Leilah, a dark elf who wants the magic want. And that's about it. How I discovered her name is the same as almost all the people I mentioned above.

Sorry this review probably didn't come out great, but I'm having trouble remembering this thing, and I don't want to say the word "forgettable" in this review.

Overall, don't watch this movie. Just don't. I heard there's going to be a sequel for this thing. No, I am not bothering with the sequel.

Tomorrow is my ranking of the movies I saw this year, and this film will be pretty low on the list.

3/10

Wonder Woman - Film Review

Image
Justicethon Day 7 Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and the second not directed by Zack Snyder. Plot Set in 1918, long before the other 3, Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana. After he tells Diana about World War I, she leaves her home in order to end the war. Review Let me just say: This is the best of the DCEU by far, it looks great, the story's great, the cast is great. This actually reminds me of two Marvel movies I've seen, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor . CA:TFA was about a superhero going into a world war (I know they're 2 different wars) and Thor was about someone from another realm based on mythology coming into our society (I know Themyscira is on Earth and Asgard is on a dif

Mission: Impossible 2 - Film Review

Mission: Impossithon Day 2 Mission: Impossible 2 is directed by John Woo, and stars Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, and Anthony Hopkins. Plot IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, again) is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera". Review I didn't like this movie much, it's pretty forgettable. The first hour is slow and the action doesn't pick up as much until the second act. And I just couldn't get invested in it. I don't even remember some of the characters names, so I'll just refer to them by the actors' names. Also, if your movie is already as slow as Mission: Impossible 2 is, don't overuse slow-mo as much as Mission: Impossible 2 does. Also, this film originally had a 3 1/2 hour long cut. I'll pass on that. I will say, the movie is shot very well and some of the action scenes do look really good, but it's not enough to save this movie for

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - Film Review

Halloweenthon Day 5  Halloween 5: The Curse of Michael Myers is directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard, and stars Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Wendy Kaplan, Beau Starr, and Donald L. Shanks. Plot It's one year since Halloween 4 , and Michael Myers (Donald L. Shanks) survives being shot by the police. He continues his search for his niece, who is in a children's' hospital. Review If I were asked where the series started to go downhill, it would be this movie. This movie really had no reason to exist, as Halloween 4 would've been a good enough ending, but it made some money, so they rushed out a sequel the next year, and it shows. This movie isn't good, it's bad, but it's not a pile of garbage or anything (oh we'll be talking about garbage later in the marathon). So this movie begins the way Halloween II began, with them recapping the ending of the movie that came before it, but instead of no time passing, a year passes in
