Separate names with a comma.
That's a word you might not associate with Tolkien's works, hilarious, but this film is definitely a lot more kid's friendly. Jokes such as a dwarf asking the elves if they've got any chips (as in fries) when they offer him salad, and the overall livelier atmosphere of Middle Earth make it a bit more approachable to a younger audience than the darker, bleaker, more serious Lord of The Rings. And that's good, I also liked the atmosphere in LotR, but to see a change in The Hobbit means they're bringing something new to the table. I appreciated looking at the stunning Middle Earth in sunlight, clear skies, less misty days, and rolling green hills, it looked magical and a fantasy, which is what the genre is all about. The Hobbit is more about relaxing and enjoying the journey he is on, we all know Bilbo survives, and Gandalf too, so it's less tense and more of an experience than a simple story. The dwarves are great, each has their own different personality, and they look, sound and act just like real dwarves should. I especially like how they enhance the character Thorin (their leader) by making him much more serious and apprehensive to Bilbo than the books implied, that was a good change they made, because otherwise he'd be as party-going as the rest of them, which takes away from the investment of their plight. One of the greatest things about the film is you get to watch the lore of an already great film series. I was gob-smacked to see the Mines of Moria under siege by orcs, fangasming everywhere, not to mention how I poked all my friends, sharing bits of my knowledge of how Bilbo's sword is called Sting, and he gives it to Frodo, and how it saves him from Shelob in Return of the King because of, well, that would be spoiling the next film a little. So let's just say Sting is another name for Spider's Bane. But the best part by far is Gollum's scene. His battle of riddle with Bilbo really let them play around with his schizophrenia, especially when deciding just to eat Bilbo or not. We have to watch me'ses calories! And he was bloody terrifying at the same time. "What...has the nasty little Hobbit got in it's pocketses?..." will haunt me for a LONG while. Bilbo was in real danger. The ring, no doubt, will aid Bilbo in sneaking into the dragon's lair, but we all know what happens to that in the future anyway. Azog the pale orc was kind of interesting, but he's just there to add a bit of action to the whole thing really, as if there's a constant threat following them. The giant spiders and the necromancers will play a part, in a return to the now so-called Mirkwood as opposed to it's original name. For now though, it's a good start, to a good trilogy, the casting's perfect, the story's perfect, the world looks perfect, and there are next to no plotholes. Many people find faults with the more relaxed and kid friendly tone, but I can't, it just makes Middle Earth all the more detailed. In a hole, there once lived a hobbit, and I for one, am glad he came out of it. I can't wait for the sequel, and for more of one of my favourite novels to be brought onto the screen. Next review will be Les Miserables if I get the chance.
*SPOILERS* The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey *SPOILERS* So I've watched this film twice now, and both times I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm what most would consider the traditional tabletop/dungeons and dragons nerd, my obsession with Lord of The Rings has gripped me for countless years, it's my all time favourite trilogy, so I leapt at the chance of seeing Middle Earth again. I thought it would be buried with Return of The King, but when I heard The Hobbit was announced, and put together by almost exactly the same team of people, it was, ironically for the tagline of the movie, totally unexpected. With two movies in production, and one ring to rule them all, how does the first hold up to me? Better than I thought to be honest. Yes I had high excitement, and high hopes, but with Star Wars and it's prequels going downhill the way they did, amongst other un-needed sequels, I couldn't get rid of the thought that it was all for the money. Which it is at the end of the day, but you should be given at least your money's worth. So let's take a look at, The Hobbit. Having been an avid reader of J.R.R. Tolkien from a young age, I know all the ins and outs of Middle Earth. From the Adventures of Tom Bombadil, to the birth of Shelob, to The Hobbit, Middle Earth has a very detailed and intricate description which has constantly grown. The Hobbit, or as the book is actually called, There and Back Again, is about Bilbo Baggins, the same one from Lord of The Rings yes, and uncle to Frodo Baggins. Don't be expecting me to name characters like Frodo in here though, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli so forth were still hunting rats at this time period. It does however see the return of old favourite Gandalf the Grey, who's just as smarmier in this one than ever before. And of course, they go on an adventure with 13 dwarves to help reclaim their home, The Lonely Mountain and the city of Erabor, which has been occupied by a dragon called Smaug. As stories go, you may be thinking, where will the big battles be then? Who's the big baddie? Where's the ring in this? Well that's the good part about the film, there's no vast battles like Lord of The Rings (with the exception of a short throwback to Moria and possibly the introduction of Smaug), which in a way is a good thing. Know why? Because it's sticking to the books, and I think a lot of people forgot that when they went to watch this from what they've said about LotR being bigger and thus more epic. The source material is more about the journey, like Fellowship of the Ring, so there's no head honcho bad guy as such either, there's several, which is good, because it's like taking on a whole series of quests and challenges instead of just one. Yes, CGI is heavily involved for the big battles, such as the impressive goblin hideaway in the Misty Mountains and Erabor itself, but it looks very impressive, Rivendell looks more beautiful than ever, and the best part? It all looks real and part of the world. I didn't watch the 3-D version, but CGI has definitely gone places. I loved the Goblin King, his look, his voice, and his attitude were hilarious yet crazy. Part 2
*SPOILERS* Skyfall: Review *SPOILERS* [SOUNDCLOUD]http://soundcloud.com/sarkilarimolsundiye/adele-skyfall[/SOUNDCLOUD] So finally, my friend found the time to come with me to go see Skyfall. And my god, was it worth the wait. In one brief summary, all I can say is: Bond is back. Officially, Casino Royale was the reboot of the series, but this movie blew it and Quantum of Solace out of the freaking water. Why? Because until this movie, it didn't feel like Bond, just a spy movie with his name plastered onto it. No martinis, no gadgets, no original characters, no traditional black-haired Bond. But now, Jesus. Not only was it a fantastic way to celebrate the 50th anniversary, it was an amazing way to celebrate Bond period. So just what has made this a crowning success in Bond history? Well firstly, I think just about almost everyone has heard the Adele song of the same name, if not, it's up there ^ ya freaking genius. Anyway, my point being, it sounds like a traditional James Bond film theme right? Those who have watched the older movies will know what I'm talking about, there's no words for it except: Bond. And that is what made this film so great, because this theme goes on all the way through. I'm not just talking about the music, I mean everything you might consider under the name Bond is in this film. They even make some hilarious jokes out of the fact. How many of these references did you spot?: - Dry martini, shaken not stirred in Shanghai - Aston Martin DB5, complete with ejector seat and frontal guns as Bond and M demonstrated - Original Bond theme when pulling out of the DB5 garage - Walther PPK, the traditional Bond weapon of choice - The license plate of the DB5, BMT 216A, the same plate used in Tomorrow Never Dies - Miss Moneypenny, loyal secretary to Bond through several classic missions - The return of Q, 007's infamous loyal ally and gadget expert - "Bond. James Bond." - "What did you expect, an exploding pen?" My god I was fangasming so hard whilst my friend looked at me as if I was having a seizure. Why? This shows that Bond is going back to it's original roots. Clearly the directors realised it was straining too far from "Bond" and they needed to reel it in a bit to keep the magic of the old 007 alive. It's like they've completely restarted over, and that's a good thing, traditional Bond, but in the 21st century. They've even got rid of Judie Dench as M (lol spoilers), so it's the clean slate most Bond fans have been dreaming of since Craig took over. And don't get me wrong, Craig by no means is a bad actor, especially not in this film. I can honestly say I thought the best part of the entire film was the pure look of absolute disgust and anger on his face as in one scene the DB5 went up in flames. He didn't say anything, but my god, that look on his face was so powerful, so meaningful, it said more than words ever could. From the way he checked corners, to the way he fought, Daniel Craig was truly putting his all into this film. As for supporting actors, they all played it well too, it created a very believable/realistic experience, as if all of this actually could happen. I certainly felt the tension and heart-stopping moments, like at the very start when he is walking down a dimly lit corridor and finds a room full of dead bodies, it actually felt like I was almost physically there, seeing the blood for myself, feeling the sunstruck dust pass by. It was only the beginning but it felt ominous. Now as for location and special effects, they were incredibly well done. The amount of time, effort and money that must have gone into hiring what essentially was London has to have been immense. They pulled out all the stops to make this an anniversary to remember. In one instance, Bond is in pursuit of the villain until an explosion blows the roof of the underground tunnel behind him. Bond is unfazed, unleashing a witty one liner, "I hope that wasn't meant to be for me," until a goddamn tube train comes hurtling through the crumbling hole. Now that, was tense. Other memorable mentions include the explosion at MI6, something which I'm surprised they could pull of in the middle of a city, although I guess it was all CGI in some way. Probably the one that will catch most people's attention is the destruction of the Skyfall lodge, and I have to admit, it was well done, that's all I can really say, it was a superb job. If I had one problem though, it would have to be the villain. He didn't really appear until like, a quarter of the way through the movie, and even then I thought he'd be more of a henchman than the head honcho. His appearance wasn't that imposing, he's meant to be more of a hide in the shadows sort of guy. But my problem was, for someone who wants to hide in the shadows, he certainly did a lot of the dangerous suicidal dirty work for himself. It was like England, against just him, and it felt...weird. Just the way he was never backed up with any other men until the lodge in a sense. His sole aim was to kill M whilst looking into her eyes, and his attitude reflected that. Once he'd used tools like the list to make her vulnerable, he took no notice of them again and purely went after her. All that genius, but he was quite mad. He scared me in a way, he was actually a little terrifying, especially with dem teeth. But like I say, he was just a weak villain, although I suppose the main focus was Bond and his relationship with M, so I can kind of forgive them for not developing him more. So my last point is of course, the story. How does it hold up you may ask? Well there's good and bad. The film begins in Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople for all you fellow Assassins Creed Revelations players out there, and has a chase through the Grand Bazaar all the way to the train where obviously Bond gets accidentally shot by another agent and loses the perpetrator. Now...this was good for tension I guess, but to do this in the first 10 minutes of the film and then act as if he's truly dead when there's like 2 hours of movie left?....It kind of made little sense for them to do that. If anything, they should have shown how he survived, then goes into hiding, because there was another problem, while the gunshot wasn't a direct hit...how did he survive? The mystery of James Bond I guess, although it kind of made me feel the whole death plot point was pointless. He could have easily just fallen off, they discharged him because he's lost his touch, then he applies again when he sees MI6 under attack. Would have worked exactly the same way, but I digress. The next part he's in Shanghai, and it holds up pretty well, you've got the martinis, the one liners, the womanising, the casinos, and the over the top big henchman death i.e. DEATH BY KOMODO DRAGON. With the introduction of Q, I feel this will add something, taking us back to the glory days of Bond with 21st century gadgets and briefings (Q is best pony by the way). The rest of the movie's pretty solid, I don't think I questioned anything else except for the rushed way they did the whole Bond's death thing, although I do wonder what happened to the whole list of MI6 agents being posted every week plot point. So to cut a long story short, they really really did their best with this film, and it truly does show, I can't fault them for much except for the weakish villain. It was all about bringing back the old Bond ways, and they've succeeded. All I can say is, I can't wait until the next instalment, and will eagerly be awaiting that next DUN-A DUN DUN-A DUN DU-DU-DU-DU 9/10

I have more though if you want to see later.
So if you haven't already seen this film and want to wait to see it to know what happens, I suggest you bypass this little review I'm going to personally do of this film on my thoughts about it. Whether you share these thoughts or not, this is solely my own opinion and is in no way telling anyone to change theirs, but to just have an onlook at what I think. http://www.everypony.com/blogs/entry.php?486-Disney-Pixar-s-Brave Leading on from this thread here. Batman: The Dark Knight Rises So I first watched the film in Florida whilst I was on holiday at Orlando to go to places like Disneyworld, Sea World, Universal, etc, and yes this was just a couple of days after the tragic shooting that took place at the movie theatre in America. My respects go to the families who were affected as well as the victims themselves. I watched it for a second time with a friend of mine who was a girl who wanted to go watch it and out of pure "I'm a suck-up" I went along with. So on the second time, I got to look more deeply into the film to see any problems and anything they did well, so let me begin. The opening, I saw that coming lol, with Bane being the man who talked back to the guards with a bag on his head, but I liked that, it was a pretty badass moment so to speak. The plane crash was done very well, and it was pretty accurate in the psychics of how a plane would fall and how the objects in the craft would react to the sudden change in pressure and altitude. So I'll talk about Bane first, the mastermind behind such a feat. And I'm not gonna lie, in this film, Bane is just, AWESOME. If you look at any other adaptation of Bane, be it Batman and Robin, the animated series, or the Batman Arkham games, he is just a Mexican steroid junkie who can't keep up his strength without his drugs. In this film however, they use the REAL story of Bane. Now for those who haven't read the comic books, Bane was Mexican, and he was born in a prison in Mexico, which is the pit that the movie builds up to that Batman is trapped in. Bane DID break Batman's spine in the comics, as he does in the film. In Dark Knight Rises, he's more than just a mindless animal with raw strength, he's a genius at knowing every part of pain on your body that could hurt you but without actually killing you. He's actually a nice guy underneath having saved the little girl (Talia Al Ghul is her full name for those who didn't work it out) from certain traumatising events, and he does comment on how the boy at the football field has "a beautiful voice", it's just that his motives are mixed up, and Ra's Al Ghul twisted his moral sense into something it's not. He genuinely thinks he's doing a good thing by liberating people from the shackles of government, but doesn't realise that order is sometimes needed to save those whom are innocent. And the voice. Need I say anymore? The voice is just aibsfobrgoberuig amazingly hardcore, and I don't know why people complain it's too muffled, because that adds a sense of terror and awe about the guy in my books. I could listen to it alllllll day. I could go into detail about Catwoman, but, she's a pretty solid character and that's all I can really say. Jennifer plays her well and actually suits the role after a lot of bad scripting, and I especially like how she's not in a catsuit, but her ears are like her little gadget tools that make her look like a cat. For once I feel in a film that the protagonist found someone that perfectly suits them, and it was nice how she and Bruce finally get together. I mean that heart-warming scene with Alfred just, you know, it was so clever I actually wanted to applaud for how touching and how thoughtful they were in setting all that together. I genuinely felt sorry for him through the film, and the scene in the graveyard was really deep and actually got me thinking about life and it's issues. That's quite powerful for a film about a comic book hero. That's not to say the film isn't without it's problems though...while the story can be strong and gripping through most of the film, there are just a lot of major plotholes that should have been addressed. For example, why the hell would they send ALL the cops underground to flush Bane out? That's stupid, no police force would ever do that even if they were desperate, the city isn't TOTALLY free of crime anyway surely? And what about the fact that Batman is knocked out, thrown into a pit where hardly anyone escapes, without any of his bat gadgets, no money in Bruce Wayne's bank account, and somehow manages to get from Mexico to a totally locked down Gotham island in a day with troops on both sides ready to shoot anything on the border, they can literally see everything, without any problems? I mean, one, he doesn't have any money to catch a plane, two, troops will shoot anything on target and he has nothing to help him get into Gotham, and three, he gets from who knows where in Mexico to Gotham in a day from what I can estimate frkoom the bomb countdown? That's just being lazy to me seeing as how they don't explain any of that. Another one is why didn't Fox activate the flood chambers instead of putting his hand print on the "prime bomb" console? Way to doom Gotham Morgan Freeman! But I digress. Another problem is THE BATMAN VOICE. Seriously! How many people have made fun of it now? And he's still doing that stupid voice when almost everyone in the film knows who he is! And Batman's hardly the focus, he rarely actually wears the costume and kicks some ass. He'd much rather fly around in his weird little hover machine which is relied upon far too often in the film. The ending with the possible introduction of Nightwing made me kind of excited, although I don't know why so many people were like "*gasp* Robin! Omg it's Robin! Could it be Robin?!" when it's clearly Nightwing if you know his story from the comic books, it just made me laugh a bit at how many people have watched the film without reading the comics. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just people probably would have gotten a better understanding of the film. TL;DR: I liked it, probably my favourite Batman film, although there were some major problems that needed to be addressed in the film to make it flow as smoothly as possible.
So, basically, in the past couple of weeks, I went to the cinema/movie theatre a couple of times. One time was because, hey, you know, it's Batman, and I ended up watching it twice for another reason that I'm not obliged to say here lol. Then I went to go and see Disney's Brave a week later, because my mother and little sister were going to go and watch it after we'd been shopping together, so I thought I'd tag along with them. I know they're different genres, but I noticed a vast difference in quality between the two movies, but here's two separate reviews on my thoughts on the two movies. Disney Pixar's Brave I have been a fan of Pixar's work for a long long time now, since the era of Toy Story and Monster's Inc etc, with UP being high on my list as being my third favourite film ever. So I had high expectations for Brave because they clearly didn't put much effort into Cars 2, mostly for the fact that Cars was the movie they made a sequel for out of all the good Pixar films out there ¬_¬ So I thought that more work would have gone into Brave. The truth is? It didn't. I'm not the age you'd expect to be someone who watches Disney films, but Disney was my childhood, and I came into this movie with an unbiased attitude because Pixar seemed to still hold on to that Disney "magic" long after the original company sold out to real-life canned laughter sitcoms like Good Luck Charlie or some weird stuff like that. Point is, Disney has turned what it was, i.e. family animation with delightful characters: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._poster_toon.jpg/200px-Recess_poster_toon.jpg to this: http://roashina.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/wizards-of-waverly-place-001.jpg So I was let down when Pixar didn't put much into this film. Let me explain, first off, the animation isn't exactly spectacular. I watched the movie in 3D in the best quality seating and nothing ever jumped out at me, even with my tested proven perfect vision. The only thing that worked was the logo at the start by the company who provided the glasses that tests the 3D effect, the rest of the movie had literally nothing. And talk about using the same backgrounds over and over. All the film is, is circling through like, three locations, the castle, the stone circle, and the deep forest. I mean talk about lazy, the deep forest is dark and never interesting to look at. However the main character just goes back and forth between these sole settings. And there's another problem, the main character is terrible. Not only is she not developed properly, (hell I don't even think they say her real name!) but her voice actress is just so whiny and screechy all the time. Sure, you've got an almost racist Scottish accent down, well done, but the character doesn't have to scream her lines! Spoiler: To not give the story away not like you're missing much lol She turns her mother into a bear. She goes to a witch, a witch of all people, a person known for horrible and untrustworthy spells, and asks her to change her mother. Dear. God. No-one is that naive, that's just being straight up evil to her mother. I know the mum probably had sand somewhere where the sun don't shine, but there was no need for the protagonist to be that cruel. The first quarter or so of the film before those games, she's fine, but after then, I started to despise her. Not because she's ginger lol. I'm not even going to get started on how she gets what she wants at the end just by crying which makes everything magically better. My god Disney. Why. If all this wasn't already enough, the storyline is all over the place. Hell, there's like, 6 different storylines at once which are never fully developed and explained. The main story doesn't kick in until about halfway through the film. I'm not even joking. Before then you have a confusing opening which would scare any little children going to see the "magic" of Disney on the big screen, then it suddenly switches to a ton more years later with absolute gallons of exposition being narrated. The three twins you see in the advertisements are better developed in the adverts than in the film. They literally get a 5 second explanation as to who they are and what they do. So it moves on to the three princes competing for the protagonist's hand in marriage in a kind of highland games, and she competes herself to ensure her freedom. And that's what should have been stretched out into a storyline. Because it was so rapidly explained in the first place. After this point it goes to hell with one storyline about the princes, one about the clans, one about the mother being a bear, one about this other kingdom, one about this other guy who became a bear and went nuts or something, one about the mother possibly becoming a bear forever, one about the twins becoming little bears, one about the father hunting this othe- you can just tell from all this that it's a mess. None are ever fully explained, they just piled a load of stories together and hoped they stuck. It hardly ever links back to Scottish mythology too. They could have done this so much better. One redeeming point is the humour. I like the clans, they're quite funny, and the father is too. The twins are just the typical annoying brats with potty humour and I hate that. But there's some good stuff like the relations between the clan leaders, possibly creating the funniest moment I have ever seen in Pixar history. And the father's always good for a laugh, the way his wife's more of a king than he is, and just how he basically fumbles almost everything. But that's nowhere near enough to save the film for me. I feel sorry for the kids who see this sort of stuff and then think Disney is great because of it. If they watched the oldies their minds would be blown, and that should be the opposite way around. TL;DR: I didn't like this film. It could have been so much better with a little bit of effort.

Note: I speak only for myself and nopony else on the staff in this blog, their views are their own So for a while now, and most definitely recently, I've noticed there's been a lot of criticism, and often hate as well directed towards the staff, I'm pretty sure that's me included. I've seen comments saying we're lazy, useless, ghosts, despicable, corrupt, you name it, I'm pretty sure we've been called it. Now while I know that there are always problems in any given system with any given people, can you guys please let me, or anypony else to know what these issues are? It's been quite hurtful seeing a lot of these comments, portraying me as this type of monster who doesn't care, because I consider a lot of you guys as friends. A lot of the rules are in place to make sure that this is kept a safe for work site, and that no users are abused in any way by another, or a member of staff. Those sorts of problems need to be reported so that we can deal with them, or else it's impossible for us to know. The forums are a big place really, and with all the time zone differences between us on the staff, sometimes it's hard to keep up, especially with the general chat thread which moves very quickly. Use that report button, I don't mind. We are not all-seers and all-knowers of everything, at the end of the day, we're all human, and we make mistakes, mistakes which can be resolved if given the proper care and attention, allowing us to move forwards from them for the good of the site. We're not saints. Nopony is above anypony else. The staff are all at the same level as the users, so if you have a problem with one of us, don't be afraid to bring it up to them or anypony else on the staff who you think may be able to help you. While I haven't been as active as I was back in February when I first started, it's because of personal reasons, restrictions being put in place, unfinished work to be finished, general things in day to day life which distract from the task at hoof. Just remember that I'm just one guy, I live the same sort of life as you, and everything you have to deal with, maybe even more. I love this site, and the community has some great, creative, imaginary people out there, a lot of whom people who I wished I knew in real life. If you can tell me my faults, or let me know what's wrong in general, I can help to solve it, I won't lay back and let the problem solve itself, but I need to know about it before I can act. So, final thing, if you truly believe that I am corrupt, lying to people, lazy, useless, despicable and everything else that has been said about the staff, at your majority request, I will leave the staff, and my position as Community Officer. I truly hope that isn't the case, because I'm doing my damn best to think of ways to eradicate the gap between users and staff, and don't want to give up on it now, but this is just getting emotionally painful. Not much else to say but, I'm sorry everypony.com Sorry that I let you down so much.
