Movie Review Catch Up IV (2010) [Trilogy Special]

Hey guys. Here’re a few little ones, I admit some late ones too.

Note: Each film in the following collection of reviews complete the trilogy of the sagas they are in.

Predators

Quick and fun. Includes some nice set pieces and enough cool and cheesy ideas to let you know you’re watching a sharp non-pretentious slightly self deprecating movie. However, it in no way expands on the intriguing science fiction elements of the previous film (I haven’t seen Predator 2) or on any of the film’s characters.

In short it has a shelf life but basically as something you’d rent for a bit of fun with some beers. Not a classic, but still fun.

Jackass 3D

Contains some of the best use of 3-D I’ve ever seen but the use of the technology doesn’t make a big difference to the experience over all (as usual). Some of the segments don’t even require 3D and others don’t have it at all.

Not the big event that some of the marketing may have implied but rather is another one as good as the other (hate to repeat myself in such a weirdly particular way but I haven’t seen Jackass 2).

Just as fun and tense as any other Jackass installment. Very entertaining but nothing hugely new.

Toy Story 3

Yeah, this one went right over my head. I saw it during it’s run in cinemas but never posted about it. To be honest I struggled.

Before I say anything else I need to state that despite what I say, Toy story 3 is a fantastic film. It has everything all the other two have had (Yes I’ve seen 2 and it’s my favourite). I still felt slightly underwhelmed just because it was just as sweet, funny and smart as I had expected it to be (which for the record is very very).

Perhaps the problem is that I’m not 9 – 12 anymore like I was when I saw the first two in the cinema. But as subjective as I may be being right now, it doesn’t take a genius to see that Toy Story 3 is a brilliant and lovely film and that it is a more than worthy chapter to a wonderful trilogy.

I feel weird.
