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 - Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Director: Jonathan Mostow

Writers: John Brancato, Michael Ferris and Tedi Sarafian

Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, Kristanna Loken and Claire Danes

My guess: 6,8? - 2008? (6,3 - 2003)

My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5

Pretty good film, but far away from the first two - but way better than the now'a'days shit (for example "Dark Fate"...)!

The "machine war" were finally nice, it indeed was pretty cool... In the first movies, I didn't like it.

Kristanna "T-X" Loken naked! What else can you say, than 'very sexy'.

"Terminator bar" scene were nice, you could say that is was a tribute to second movie. It was nice, that Arnold "Terminator" Schwarzenegger remembered the car keys place, although he was "new machine".

Nick "John Connor" Stahl was okay at his role, and so was Claire "Kate Brewster" Danes.

T-X managing other cars, was pretty nice. But a little bit to advanced. For example "T-1000" (from "T2") could do nothing like that... And then she/it could not recognise people by scanning, but only by blood... Pretty underdeveloped!

The "crane chase" was nice. It was nice to see Earl "Dr. Peter Silberman" Boen, he is funny in every Terminator trilogy movies - makes e'm whole. It would have been nice to see him in the latest Terminator movies, but maybe it was good that he were only on the original trilogy!

The "coffin" shootout was nice, rocket launcher was cool!

'Minigun robots' were cool.

"Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine", very nice sentence.

Ending were pretty nice, not best - but okay! Movie was mediocre, but... Well, as I said - (much) better than the new ones... Pretty good trilogy, you might say. But I'm satisfied by the two first movies, this third movie doesn't have a place in my collection - sadly...

Movie review - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Director: James Cameron

Writers: James Cameron and William Wisher

Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong and Robert Patrick 

My guess: 9,0? - 1991? (8,6 - 1991)

My Points: 9,1 - 4½/5

Oh my good, now this is a very good movie! I have liked this one from childhood, to... forever! You could say "Arnold forever!!1".

The war part - yet again, as in the first one - didn't like it. O'h well, maybe it was alright by now watching it - but as a child it was boring as hell.

The bar scene was nice "I need your clothes... (and so on)", and Arnold 'getting' the iconic sunglasses - nice!

Edward "John Connor" Furlong was nice as he's 'rebellion teen' character and so was Robert "T-1000" Patrick - not forgetting the awesome Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger. Linda "Sarah Connor" Hamilton was also okay.

Altough, I didn't like Sarah 'hospital' scene('s), they were kinda boring...

Earl "Dr. Silberman" Boen was yet again also nice and funny, as in the first one.

Mall scene was nice and intense.

When the T-1000 killed John's foster parents, it was nice. I mean when the T-1000 as Jenette "Janelle Voight" Goldstein pierced with his 'hand spike' Xander "Todd Voight" Berkeley, it was nicely done.

The 'floor guy' was nice, when T-1000 rised from the floor. Played (when T-1000 has risen and changed his appearance) by Don and Dan Stanton, who also were in Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990). I could watch and review them (Gremlins) also.

The hospital scene were nice, when Sarah made her escape. And when she meet up with Terminator, "it will kill everyone" - was nice!

It was nice, when they went to get weapons from Castulo "Enrique Salceda" Guerra. So much cool weapons, like the legendary Minigun. Grenade launcher were also nice.

Attack at Cyberdyne was nice. There The Terminator used his awesome weapons, like it mentioned earlier; Minigun and grenade launcher - very satisfying to watch!

The when the police gunned down The Terminator, it getting ripped off - was awesome.

T-1000 hijacking and chasing the good guys with the helicopter, was nice.

"Hasta la vista, baby", f*cking nice!

When T-1000 died, or melted - it was nice that it showed all the character who it had killed.

And the ending, so great - and touching!

This movie is so awesome, especially when I was a child. I watched this almost every week, or even a every day - it was so good...

This quite did not get five star, even Léon (1994) didn't get (what got 0,1 better grade). I dont know, will I ever give full (5 stars) to any movie, we shall see... But this one was very close, an awesome movie - which everyone could see - civic duty, indeed!

Movie review - The Terminator

The Terminator

Director: James Cameron

Writers: James Cameron, Gale Anne Hurd and William Wisher

Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn

My guess: 8,4? - 1981? (8,1 - 1984)

My Points: 8,5 - 4+/5

Now this is some good - an awesome, movie! The music is great, legendary!

"What the hell" trashman is funny, I have always laughed at that (when he says "what the hell", in a funny style).

The hooligans are nice! "Nice night for a walk, eh?", "wash day tomorrow? Nothing clean, right?", so funny. You can recognise one (or all) of the punks; Bill "Punk Leader" Paxton. And then there is the police, Lance "Vukovich" Henriksen. Why I mention these guys? Well, they're both in Aliens (1986) - btw which James Cameron directed.

The gunstore scene was nice, "Uzi 9mm". Then Terminator loaded the shotgun, and... Good stuff!

Hunting "Sarah Connor" were also nice. Although, how primitive the Terminator was?! He could't recognise Sarah... He's a machine, from the future!? Well, this was the first movie, so... I guess they evolved! But they got way too skillful in the later movies. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is still okay, I mean T1000. But on the later movies, when the 'machines' can operate many moving cars and shit like that - and bullets don't do nothing (same thou with T1000)! That went too far... I like this simple Terminator.

The "machine war", well... I have hated it even from childhood, it is just boring to watch!?

The cops, I mean two 'main' cops - were nice! I already mentioned Lance, Paul "Traxler" Winfield were also good.

Bar scene were nice, "come with me if you wanna live" - awesome!

The story/history/future, by telling Michael "Kyle Reese" Biehn was intresting and nice. The psychologist Earl "Silberman" Boen was funny, I have always liked him (from T2 to T1, first I saw T2).

That was a nice scene, when The Terminator repaired him/it-self, nice to see him 'suffer'.

"I'll be back", legendary!

Police station shooting were nice.

And at the end, "ur terminated" - nice!

I havent mention Arnold or Linda?! Well, everyone knows them, so... Usually I dont have lots to say about woman actors, but Linda "Sarah Connor" Hamilton is a awesome character! She's (Sarah) and he's (Kyle) love romance was nice. And btw, Sigourney "Ripley" Weaver is also awesome, if I can 'jump around'.

And ofcourse Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger, awesome stuff! Arnold is like, well... born to play The Terminator, he's so good at it!

But then, well... I could watch T2 and review that! It's just a little bit better in grade, but now'a'days I like more T1. It so simple, and good! Do I will give T2 five stars, well... that we will see later...

Movie review - Terminator: Dark Fate

Terminator: Dark Fate

Director: Tim Miller

Actors: Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mackenzie Davis

My guess: 7,1? - 2019? (6,2 - 2019)

My Points: 6,5 - 3/5

Well, this was a kinda shit movie - and not just "kinda"...

The opening scene was nice, when they showed scene from the old movie (T2) - it was nice.

The "CGI young" Terminator, it was horrible. Didn't looked like anything of Arnold. Why they didn't just do it completely with CGI? No, they hired some muscle guy to do it, who didn't looked like anything of Arnold - lame!

And then the "CGI young Arnold" shit killed John Connor, okay?! Not that I would be sad, but... it was just stupid!

Linda "Sarah Connor" Hamilton entrance was nice, pretty bad ass! I also liked Mackenzie "Grace" Davis. They'r (Sarah and Grace) chemistry was good.

Arnold "T-800/Carl" Schwarzenegger was good and funny. Although, light years away from the first movies, but pretty good role.

Why didn't I first reviewed the first movies? Well, this movie was available, and I have seen them (the first movies) so many times that I cant even count anymore. But no worries, some day I will watch e'm again - and review. They (1 & 2) are so great, expecially compared to this shit...

But overall, this was somewhat watchable movie - but, well... kinda shit afterall! Expecially if you are a fan of the first one, and haven't seen the latest "shitty" Terminator movies, then you may not like this one. But if you like the new ones, this is pretty mediocre - but watchable.

But if you dont like the first ones, but like the new ones - then, oh'boy - we have a problem...

Movie review - Trauma Center

Trauma Center

Director: Matt Eskandari

Actors: Nicky Whelan, Bruce Willis, Tito Ortiz and Texas Battle

My guess: 2,9? - 2019? (4,0 - 2019)

My Points: 3,8 - 2/5

"Trauma Center", this movie get me trauma...

I had to watch and review of this, 'cause of earlier movie (Breach) what I reviewed from Bruce Willis. This kinda s**t is fun to watch, or is it...?

Well Breach had some entertaining value, but this was just painful to watch. But I gave this movie better grade, 'cause this was a little bit better. But Breach was more enjoyable to watch.

The acting were very lazy, expecially from Bruce Willis. Don't know what has got to him?! Although we know now, he's sick...

And everybody who watches he's latest movies, get very sick also!

The movie concentrate way too much on the empty hospital and to the "cat & mouse" game. It was very boring, and stupid!

The woman ("Madison") got away way too much, and easily. Or are cops just so stupid and clumsy, this doesn't give good appreciation to them.

It was just so damn boring to watch, Madison wobble through the aisle. This movie is a good "sleeping pill".

How did Madison climb in to the vent? She's other leg was bleeding. O'h yes, she did use a table, but anyhow - it look way to high to climb with a broken leg.

And the Madison's hair, in mint condition all the way. What conditioner does she use, I would be interested.

But there were something good in the movie; the music. Although, it was way too good - for carbage like this! And the movie has it moments, but altogether a very bad movie - which I definately NOT recommend!

Except if you wanna torture yourself. Or you are a huge Bruce Willis fan. But all he's latest movies are so bad, that... I'm lost of words! Avoid, at any cost!

Instead of this (or other Willis nowadays shitty movies), watch Die Hard (1988) - that is an very awesome movie! Well, I oughta also watch (and review) that - for the hundred time!

Movie review - Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider

Director: Roar Uthaug

Actors: Alicia Vikander, Dominic West and Walton Goggins

My guess: 6,0? - 2018? (6,3- 2018)

My Points: 6,2- 3/5

What a dissapoint of a movie. Although Alicia Vikander were pretty good, but that's the only this movie got...

Or maybe instead this got a couple of good parts, like the boat in the storm scene. And the "waterfall-plane" scene were pretty cool.

Walton Goggins was a pretty as a bad guy. And Nick Frost was kinda funny.

But that's all, the rest was s**t!

The puzzle's - what puzzle's? Lara Croft solved them in matter of seconds, boring...

I got nothing else to say, nothing good - or even bad. This was just a boring mess. I sincerely hope, that this travesty doesn't get a sequel. What a boring movie...
