Movie review - Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick

Director: Joseph Kosinski

Writers: Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr. and Peter Craig

Actors: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly and Miles Teller

My guess: 7,0? - 2021? (8,3 - 2022)

My Points: 7,3 - 4-/5

The first one is way too better, than this sequal - it's a classic!

Not that, this is bad - but the first one is just so good. The points are maybe a little bit too close, but this sequal gets points - for being so good, in now'a'days. When the movies kinda sucks, expecially comparing to the old ones...

The "Kill Bill drinking water by being dusty" was fun.

It was nice to hear "Great Balls Of Fire" again - by "the son".

Nice to see Val "Adm. Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky" Kilmer again, too bad - that in poor condition.

Nice to see, Tom "Capt. Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell" Cruise succeeding two times with the fighter.

It was also nice to see Jennifer "Penny Benjamin" Connelly and Ed "Radm. Chester 'Hammer' Cain" Harris, not forgetting Anthony "Goose" Edwards son, Miles "Lt. Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw" Teller. The "bully" Glen "Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin" Powell was also good addition.

Roosters "comeback" was cool. And so was the end "battle".

Overall, a pretty damn nice movie - expecially for so new movie. But the first one, it will always be near to my heart - no (sequal) can "Top" that.

Movie review - Top Gun

Top Gun

Director: Tony Scott

Writers: Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr. and Ehud Yonay

Actors: Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan

My guess: 7,1? - 1986? (6,9 - 1986)

My Points: 7,4 - 4-/5

Well, this was an excelent movie - and always will be. It's a classic! Whatever some-one says...

The music was excelent!

"Karaoke" scene was nice, and ofcource the "flye-by".

This movie had excelent cast; Val "Ace" Kilmer, Anthony "Goose" Edwards & his spouce Meg "Carole" Ryan, Michael "Jester" Ironside and orcourse the "lovers" Tom "Maverick" Cruise & Kelly "Charlie" McGillis.

I liked, I liked very much!

The volleyball scene was nice. And Maverick riding his motorbike.

Goose dying, what a sad moment. Even now, when I have seen this movie about ten times. Ofcourse, at first time - it was the saddest...

Final mission was a nice ending to this awesome movie!

This movie could be an general education, whether you like - or don't like, fighters. Awesome movie!

Movie review - Blade: Trinity

Blade: Trinity

Director: David S. Goyer

Writers: David S. Goyer, Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Parker Posey and Paul Levesque

My guess: 6,3? - 2006? (5,8 - 2004)

My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5

Well, this was a little bit better - than the second movie. But the first one will - probably, always be the best. I mean, if there is a "Blade 4" coming. I haven't heard any rumors, but it still may be possible.

There were some good actors in this movie. Or do I mean 'good'?! It was nice to see Paul "Triple 'Jarko Grimwood' H" Levesque in movies. Sadly, he didn't get much "Hollywood success" - 'cause I like him.

Then there of course were the good guys/girls; Ryan "Hannibal King" Reynolds and Jessica "Abigail Whistler" Biel. They were both great, together. 

Then there were the bad guys; Dominic "Drake" Purcell was nice, and so was Parker "Danica Talos" Posey. "Triple H" I already mentioned.

Then there were they're "vampire" dogs, they were funny.

The action? It were pretty nice, CGI effects were way too better - than the previous one (expecially comparing to the first movie...)!

It was nice, when Blade did "the K.I.T.T. of the truck". I'm referring to the Knight Rider (1982–1986).

I'm was pretty lame, how the bad guys did the "stage Blade as guilty to kill a human". So someone just agreed to be killed?! And how did they know where to film it? Because before that (stage), there was a long car chase. The camera-man/girl just magically waited at the right spot, yea right...

And Whistler died yet again, and pretty damn easily...

And the S.W.A.T., there were like 20-30 cops - and nobody didn't hit anything?! And they attacked by hand to hand combat, although they had machine guns, okay?!

The cops didn't know diddly-squat about vampires, okay?! There's like a half a dozen (thousands) of them, killing people - and cops don't know nothing about them...

And they didn't even research Blade, the first vampire they see - stupid!

"Hannibal King" was funny, good jokes all the time. Definately material to "Deadpool" character.

Blade yelling "use it, use it...", it was nice!

The end action scene were pretty nice. Not the best, but not the worst.

A good movie, overall!

So, there we had the Blade trilogy. First one was the best, then came this (Trinity...)! Hopefully there is a fourth one coming, it would (hopefully?) be nice. But it would be nothing without Wesley Snipes, he's the "essance". He is just getting pretty old, but...

Time will tell, I'm eagerly waiting...

Movie review - Blade II

Blade II

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Writers: Marv Wolfman, Gene Colan and David S. Goyer

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman and Norman Reedus

My guess: 6,6? - 2003? (6,7 - 2002)

My Points: 7,1 - 3½/5

Well, this was a pretty good movie - you might say a decent one...

CGI effects were much better than in the first one. Ofcourse, 'cause this is a newer movie. But they still kinda sucked, compared to now'a'days effects.

Norman "Scud" Reedus was a nice addition, I like him. But he smoked too much cigarette. And it always was a "new" cigarette, it never was already smoked (like in the half way). Not that stupid, but... it caught my eye.

It was nice go get Kris "Whistler" Kristofferson back. If I remember correctly, he's also in the third movie. But he died "stupidly" in that one, if my memory works.

The "sword fight" was nice. Until they f*cked it up with very - VERY, bad CGI. It looked like a game, when Blade jump around like an idiot. Poor choice, to use CGI - it was pointless. Maybe they just wanted to test their "evolved CGI skills", bad choice.

Ron "Reinhardt" Perlman was a good choice to cast in this movie, I like him also.

The "flash" granades were a nice addition to weapon collection. And ofcourse the legendary sword from the first movie, it is very nice!

But yeah, a pretty damn good movie!

I think, that this is better than the third one. I mean in points. Blade: Trinity (2004) is maybe more entertaining, and has more nice stars (like Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Paul "Triple H" Levesque etc...)!

But this is more intelligent, Trinity is... well, kinda "stupid". But the first one will always be the best, like almost every time (in case of movies). Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) may be the only exception to the "rule".

Movie review - Blade

Blade

Director: Stephen Norrington

Writers: David S. Goyer

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff and Kris Kristofferson

My guess: 6,9? - 2003? (7,1 - 1998)

My Points: 7,5 - 4-/5

Well, this was a good movie - like I remembered.

Wesley Snipes was awesome as "Blade". It was also nice to see Kenny "Heatseeking Dennis" Johnson from one of my favorite TV shows; The Shield (2002–2008).

Stephen "Deacon Frost" Dorff as the bad guy, was a nice role.

"Blood shower" was nice. "Good old movies" have nice scenes, like this one.

But, the CGI effects were pretty terrible. They have been out dated!

"The big fat monster" was funny, it would have to be nice see him/her(?) more.

Kris "Whistler" Kristofferson death was sad. I mean, I didn't cry (who cries on Blade?!), but it was very sad.

The "final battle" was pretty nice. Not the best, but not the worst...

But overall, a pretty damn good movie! Don't know about the sequals, but I quess they are at least pretty "ok". I mean, I have seen them. But it's so long time when I saw them, so...

But let's find out in a couples of days.
