Title: Major League 2
Rating: Three Spotlights
Movie Wrapped Up:
It's another season, and the baseball team "the Cleveland Indians" are aiming for the World Series! But things have changed, mainly due to new popularity, and the team's badly off their beat.
And when Miss Rich Lady gets back in power, the team is going to have to shape up...
Mad Take:
They don't even try! This movie was average, mostly boring material during the first half. True, there were chuckle moments, but the story wasn't great, and everyone was too different. I didn't care for the new Joey at all! And he was like it during most of the movie! YEESH!
Things did start getting better near the end, however. When team started being themselves again, the movie got better. But the ending, while partly exciting, didn't make it up to the first movie's big bang. But at least the second half was better!
(And they were clever in mixing in the romance element this round. :) )
This movie was only okay.

The Matrix
Title: The Matrix
Rating: One and a Half Spaceship
I'm completely skipping the summary, and going right to the review. I totally despise this movie! Hate it, hate it, hate it!!! The story totally freaked me out. The only reasons for the half-spaceship is the special effects... which were too good in some cases..., and the excellently-done story. But I hated the end!!! I so wanted it over, but they had to set it up as a triology (sp?)! And I can't quite get the Oracle and her "not being the one" thing...
This is my least favorite movie ever! At least up to this point.

One For The Money; Avatar
I saw these two movies really close to each other, so I'm just putting both reviews on. I'll skip the Movie Wrapped Ups, and just do the Mad Takes.
One For The Money
Rating: Four Spotlights
This was actually a pretty good movie. I went in with no idea what the movie was about--except for something about an exploding car--and had a good time. The story was actually pretty well-done, though there were some parts where I was confused. (The Main Character is like a good-guy bounty hunter, by the way, for those who aren't sure). It had more action than I expected.
This was a pretty good movie.

This was a re-watch for me. I saw it in 3D in the theaters, and now I saw that special Collector's Edition (the one with 16 extra minutes).
The story was very well-done, except for a few glitches. One centers around Jake popping in and out of his Avatar. I mean, he did it in daylight sometimes! Shouldn't the Na'Vi have noticed? Why did he get away with it? That fact did cause a problem for Jake later on, so the creators did know about it (or at least in that scene), but why wasn't that problem ever explained? Yeesh!
But the movie was very good otherwise. The story was very good. The special effects were awesome (even not in 3D!). And it had a good dose of action in it to boot! Some of the characters could have been done a little better (like Jake's rival in the clan), but they were pretty good characters otherwise.
This is a top movie; no wonder it's so famous!
