Since school has been shut since Thursday, I have had the chance to see a few movies. Some in the theatre, some on dvd, so here are some mini reviews of the hottest movies for the summer!
Monsters University
Rate: 8.5/10
Review: It tied in wonderfully with the first story, it was cute however the humour was decent. Not as funny as some other Disney movies but it had it’s moments. I wish they would have had some more of the other characters from the original movie and how they met the famous duo Mike and Sully for example, I wanted to see how Mike met Celia (his girlfriend in the original movie).
World War Z
Rate: 6/10
Review: I really do love zombies, but the whole franchise of zombie movies is getting old, there’s only so much you can do without it being a broken record situation. It was interesting but not gripping to your seat, the graphics were also up to par. I wish they would have cast the main character for acting skills rather than the fame factor, as Brad Pitt was the lead, he is decent but I would have like to seen someone I haven’t seen much of before.
Oz the Great and Powerful
Rate: 4/10
Review: A movie if you want something casual to watch when you are bored, but that’s about it. It was cheesy and bland but not so terrible that I couldn’t finish it. I loved the character Finley (the monkey) and the graphics were decent. I wouldn’t recommend watching unless you are a die hard Wizard of Oz fan.
The Possession
Rate: 5.5/10
Review: I was really looking forward to this movie when I saw the trailer, however I was disappointed. It was more story than scary, it focused a lot on this single father trying to find a way to stop the possession using the Jewish Religion more than trying to scare the audience with the possession that was happening. Like most horror movies, the scariest moments were in the last half an hour of the movie or were shown in the trailer, but even at that, it wasn’t very shocking or scary.
So I hope that helps you make some decisions about what to watch this summer! Happy watching!
