Weekend movie review
Posted: Monday, August 10, 2009 by Ric in
Since I haven't been able to do any coding that I can even hint at posting here because of IP rights and confidentiality agreements, I decided to post some movie reviews:
"GI JOE"
Its a teen summer block buster movie, nuff said: explosions, pop music and nice looking people doing expensive cosplay with guns, which of course, enabled the women to show off some teenage-crush-inducing oversized breast shapes.
(the super hero costumes were even more generous than usual this time round)
All that, plus the usual product placement and that’s a rap.
Story? oh.. yes, it actually had one to be honest.. if only I could remember it, I could tell you how good it was.
No need for score points here.
"How to lose friends and alienate people"
or “Watch my movie because Megan Fox is in it”
If you know the main actor, Simon Pegg, you know what to expect: him being a dumb brit with a masters degree insulting the Americans until submitting himself to brown nosing because it produces results.
The movie does go beyond the typical easy fish and chips comedies 
Without thinking of the genre, this movie gets a 2/10 but as a comedy, it can go as far as a 4/10, because I think brainless comedies can get some slack and because it may just work for you if you’re in a good mood to start with.
The long review above and below actually means I did have some fun watching it, but I must think twice when reviewing it to others:
- Starts off with almost-toilet-humor-like “funny”, but not as bad as what we usually get this time of the year.
- Then it turns to watchable but predictable semi-romcom with hints of being OK at times.
- Ends abruptly when its about time.
To sum it all up:
You can enjoy it if you just want something light to go with the wine and the woman/man/person/creature sitting next to you, not something you buy/download go to see on purpose.
I personally saw it because I read 3 pages on a book with the same title and this actually seemed really funny.
