Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


Last lord of the rings movie I be reviewing there are other ones but no plan to review them yet maybe before end of the year but after this next week Harry Potter reviews will start and will be a long one as well that next week for now here is finale of the 3 movie series lord of the rings.





Movie starts off with what to be Gollum human side before he become a monster and his friend fishing then his friend finds the ring and this what drive Gollum cause him to change into monster he talks about this story how he become the monster good opening there interesting they start movie then he wakes them both up and say time to go Sam says to Frodo they are running out so better hurry before it does and curse of the ring gets Frodo as well.



This is longer movie of series too me but you need lots of time to do everything to end it big battles and huge ending to series that start it an and also you be again to wonder who lives and who dies in this one and when will Gollum here turn on them or try to broken up up he is very good at mind games that for sure in his head


One of Frodo goofing friend thought it would be cool to check out Crystal ball well it turn evil and he almost does now they know where he is and might go after him thinking he has the ring a silly move there.



Then it goes Arwen aka liv Tyler see her future and her son so she turn around and goes to her father who still says her future is death.



Frodo Sam and gallum run into a little problem as Frodo ring has now open the gates of many monsters ready to fight this where battle between good and evil starts whole the crew climb to the top good thing they did not see them if they could of been toast after that castle was indeed attack and they are fighting for there life’s they hold off one attack Gandalf finds out Frodo and Sam where see and guy told him where he going and Gandalf look worried he should be danger lies ahead.



Then goes back to Frodo and Sam who sleeping and Gollum throws the right of food Down the cliff as they sleep on mountain but I know where this going yep Gollum broken them as Frodo told Sam to go home just one question how does he get home the story is indeed getting interesting here because you know soon Frodo will find out the truth about what evil Gollum is doing here and will turn on him but for now guess it just them both where does Sam fit it now.



But right now evil monsters are getting ready for battle so Aragom goes for help in an army of ghost? Will there help them or not would even the odds since they can not be killed they better hurry because they are attacking castle with deadly weapons this best I see good action here indeed.



Back to Frodo and Gollum well he lead into a cave which leads to spider webs and yes a huge spider which look scary indeed then Gollum attacks here we go Frodo vs Gollum and it ending with him throwing him off the cliff is he gone for good is question but just when he was finding a way out spider gets Frodo

Stick him In Frodo is out cold unit Sam shows up and beats the spider but Sam had a plan let bad guys take Frodo to place where they must go hopefully this right move by Sam or not but got to do something then goes back to big battle as if indeed going down this indeed final battle here not looking good is this end of of end of them hopefully Sam and Frodo can get to the mount of doom and get rid of the ring hopefully.



Aragom does show up witb ghosts who I have agree to help them there was a sad moment as daughter of king watch her father die right in front of her so after all has been beating ghosts are lied to rest for good now all they can do now is wait and see if frodo can get rid of the ring for good that where goes as Frodo is now close to mount doom now Sam has to get too him but he need to fight a few bad guys to do so but he does Frodo says they got to ring but Sam has the ring and gives it too Frodo now they need to get going they are about as close now now look like they are weak though Frodo is but he still hang they do a good job on making where he might failed or do it moment then Sam lift up Frodo was a great moment let go and finish it just as they were that Gollum monster now they throwing everything at them how the heck he lived not sure.



Not sure as battle down there keep going on they made it too the top but will Frodo throw it lava nope Frodo turn evil guess it over he went darkness well they Made think that but Gollum still fighting and got ring back but Frodo knock off cliff and into lava yes ring went with him what a powerful moment he did as everybody watch tower go down probably one of best scenes in movie history it is over but how they get down now is ? Mark if this is end but it not as Gandalf on a big eagle grabs them both and they wake up with hero welcome from everyone.



Someone becomes king as well Aragom does good choose and queen future is right chosen as well another great moment when he said my friends you do not bow as they bow to Frodo and his friends that was great.



After that they all return home as Sam got married just as said he would so everything is looking good look like we getting a happy ending here maybe but they fast forward to 4 years Frodo is still hurting after what gone down that year.


So then they go to elf’s who plan for them to leave middle earth and on too next life Frodo had to go think this leads to afterlife have to read about it more but I am sure he at peace so how does the movie end with Sam hugging his wife and kids as well and that way it ends.



Well it was honor to review this and fun to rewatch can of wish for a better ending for Frodo though but ring damage him I think that why he had to go away would love to know if him and Sam ever meet again very good battles all way to end including edge of seat action as well a great story for all 3 movies Peter Jackson did a great job as and cast and crew as well great lineup you had for this amazing 3 movies no bad ones in my view.



I pretty much write a lot on this well it was 3 hours 20 mins long so lots to talk so to pretty much end this for years and years this will indeed be a classic movies that for sure better go get rest up because next Saturday will be start of Harry Potter movies review series will be a long one but I am ready so for now have a good night and rest of your weekend.



The lord of rings : return on the king. Rating 9/10

Director…………… Peter Jackson.



Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


On to next movie review of lord of ring series where we continue the story from first movie the adventure to get rid of this evil ring once and for all but there will be some bump in the roads



Movie starts off with a beautiful shot of the mountains along with sky the music fits in very well for opening as well then it goes to a shot where they show what happen to Gandalf from last movie against fire Dragon then it show what happen he sure put one heck of fight as fire dragon landed in water and well died then Frodo woke up so was this a dream or not is ? Then we meet Gollum a ugly looking creature trying to get the ring as well the crew meet him as he try to steal the ring from but failed but then creature says don’t kill Me I can get you too where you needed too me I would not trust him but Frodo.


Bye the way this movie is close to 3 hours so there a lot to go over so I will give you my thoughts on what best parts are of this 3 hour lord of rings two towers movie.



Best part within in the first 20 mins there is a few where we see what happen to Gandalf and a small battle with bad guys fighting over Frodo friends some how they got out of there where fighting not much going on but they are slowing build up to a powerful ending of 2nd movie good storytelling here I will say probably the most ugly creature of this movie is Gollum so far again don’t trust that monster who wants ring as well.




Frodo friend go into forest and meet tree creature who says they don’t trust them and only white wizard will know who is the white wizard you see a little bit of side of hair no face pretty much that is Gandalf too me wonder why they didn’t show his face hmm after that Frodo , Gollum continues there journey to top of mountain of fire I call it too get rid of that evil ring after that white wizard was show and it was Gandalf figure great move there he not dead after all and can now help his friends out against evil that is coming ahead.



Whole that going on Frodo and his crew run into a problem as they reach a castle of bad guys that will be tough to get though but Gollum knows a another way or does it mean this is leading to a big trap.



Gandalf and rest of crew arrived where the king is possessed bye Gandalf worst enemy but after a powerful spell by Gandalf the now powerful wizard it knock out bad spirit as the king went back to human self but he find out his son death it was sad to watch after that still no sign of Frodo yet but after 20 mins they get back to Frodo who is doubt his friend after saying ring is making him weak and that what it does very interesting what happen to Frodo here they better hurry to end or else who knows what happens to Frodo if they failed.



A hour 41 mins in this indeed very good story telling and added Gollum In story is something he been help out Frodo a lot but again to trust him is the question he probably just using him to get ring back because that all he talks about it a lot.



Well on too last hour as they get ready for big battle which is not good looking they maybe out number but only thing left to is fight and boy what a battle it is they out number though who can help well some well needed back up does show up lead bye Gandalf and help some from tree friends and a big water fall May put a damp for now as middle earth battle is still yet to come in the next movie and final of 3 series movie so how does the movie well it ended with Gollum planing to kill them and take the ring he was evil the whole time and it ending with them continuing on the journey to get rid of the ring they are close to now and that where it ended.



Have to say another great lord of rings seem to get better each time for story and a great battle at the end there long one but great that way I would do it as well now I have not read the books I do hope to some day but I will take a guess this is pretty close to books with the way it and ending is interesting as well leading up to big finale as battle continues on looking forward to review the 3nd movie next week so have a good rest of your weekend.



Lord of the rings : the two towers rating 8.5

The Lord of the rings : The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Movie Review

 Starring…………..Elijah Wood , Ian Mckellen and Orlando Bloom


Director……….. Peter Jackson



Synopsis


A meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle earth from Dark lord Sauron.




Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


This one 3 movie series I been waiting to review the lord of the rings series so here is my review of the lord of the ring : Felllowship of the ring below.



Movie starts off with a nice intro of the movie nice then someone talking about ring which is indeed important part of series this ring does evil things movie starts off with story how this ring started good storytelling and how ring got into hobbit hands Gandalf the wizard does show up unit 10 mins that where Frodo and Gandalf the nice wizard by the way friend of Frodo as well which is good best to have a wizard on your side and not against you.



Bilbo has the evil ring you can tell how dark it goes when he put it on his mood changed Gandalf is there for his friends birthday which fireworks are cool or magic effect is pretty neat so fair the party is going good for Bilbo there unit he starts acting odd the ring is probably doing it even Gandalf think there something wrong when Gandalf goes to question bilbo starts say it is my ring and then he gives up the ring to Gandalf and leaves the ring to Frodo the pressure is on him now the war on this ring has now started as well.


So Gandalf goes back to castle and look though old papers on story and finds disturbing stuff that for sure he try to burn it but it too powerful to burn so this where the journey starts as Gandalf tell him to get away this where movie starts to get good that for sure.



Gandalf just leaves Frodo and his friend on a journey to get this ring out homeland or else lives will be put in danger so Gandalf goes to old friend another wizard who is well has turn evil and fights against Gandalf and fights against good I guess that was pretty scary the way he handle Gandalf who look can of weak.



So Frodo and his friends go to place where Gandalf said he meet them but he not there and told he been gone and not see for a while and then we see Frodo put on the ring for the first time it is evil the dark ones can see where he is and go after him so ring is bad egg indeed.




So they show where Gandalf is just for a second not long though least they show he still around but bad news is Frodo is great danger because he was stab so this where Arwen played by beautiful liv Taylor she here to help only way to save him Is too get him across the river it was a close one but she made as she wash the dark ones which I call them for now but look like Frodo was getting ready to leave the light but was saved waking up to Gandalf by his side yes the wizard is ok for now but dark dark times maybe ahead and movie will indeed get that way.



So only way to kill it is the way it was made in lava so they must go to that place and get rid of ring to destroy it



Lord of the rings is very long long movie so there lots to go over it so good hard for to review so doing good job as I can too keep up so this maybe longer review just letting you know.



So journey has started but they need to be careful as dark forces are following them on each and ever move they make. So does the first movie lack action no way it does not there is lots of fighting and this good story of the movie as well it was written great as well there also some big huge looking as well also this story is huge they had to do 3 movies and more to give us full story but number 1 is a good start to series.



Fire dragon there be chase after was pretty cool but lots of close calls though as they try to get out of cave everything behind them is falling apart then you see Gandalf fall with fire Dragon and you wonder liked I did when I first saw this because I never read the books is this it did they quick kill this character off that is loved by fans too me too me don’t think they would and you find out in the next movie you will.



So this chapter ends with Frodo and his friend going one as other and as they look ahead Frodo says to friend I am happy you are with me as it rolls to credits.



Well that first lord of the rings movies there are 2 more but after that there some more only plan to review first 3 ones so this was a great start to series with a great opening everything look good in this effects ugly monster good acting and story this is a big one they needed 3 movies that ok this would be a long movie if it was just put into one so next week will be reviewing the next movie chapter of the lord of the rings so unit then have a great rest of your weekend.




Lord of the rings :the fellowship of the rings (2001) rating 8/10

Look who’s Talking Too (1990) Movie Review

 Starring …………….. John Travolta , Kirstie Alley and Olympia Dukakis



Directed by…………Amy Heckerling



Synopsis


This time, a new baby is on the way, and it’s a girl. Wrapped Together with the standard conflict between mother and father. Mickey engages in a bit of sibling rivalry with his new sister.



Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


Another week of reviews this review is looking who’s Talking Too Will it be as great as first one see what I think of this one below.


Alright look who’s talking Too was it good as first one will say yes they stay good on story which interesting twist for young Mikey as he gets a new baby sister baby name is Julia by the way and Julia is voice by Roseanne isn’t that something so you have Bruce doing the voice of Mikey yes they got him back good thing don’t see .



Must say intro of movie was weird but they cut it short unlike first good thing get right to movie with Mikey having a nightmare and Molly and James making another baby just like first one they show how baby made inside are made very funny how it goes down they did add a little comedy too after that just like Mikey was before he was born baby Julia talks like what it being in womb seems like almost first 15 mins - 20 mins baby is born so now will see how Mikey does with new baby well off to not a bad start but Molly and James are fighting that was fast first 25 mins in and fighting some but again good acting from John and Kirstie are very good as a couple then just as things will not get worst her brother show up which James does not like at all so that something they add that too story.



Funny part is when Mikey ask where Julia penis is at the way Bruce said that funny and after that James and Molly get into a huge fight this seems like last movie with them 2 fighting so I wonder if they are going to drag this on for a while they do a little longer could of cut it back some though but guess a little drama does not hurt.



Anyway the story also force on Mikey trying to figure out how to pee was funny though he did learn how to do it close to the end did laugh at some good comedy there so big ending this time was Molly worry about James going up in air during the storm turns out his flight was cancelled and so they made up and went home after brother went off robber in house the house caught on fire lucky Mikey saved his sister and James put out fire and well everything between Molly and James is ok so did the movie ended with another baby no but let say it ended in a cute way that way I would end it though in that way beautiful way as it roll with song I got you babe to the end credits.



All right indeed a great 2nd movie like the first movie indeed with Mikey test on being a brother and Julia baby story as well this what made this movie great along with Bruce as voice as Mikey and Roseanne as well as voiceover amazing job they did as well and happy they got Kirste and John to come back and playing characters there was some problems that can of drag on for a whole movie that only hiccup I had with this one but in the end turn out to still be great movie now there is a 3nd do not have plans to review that one at this time but will in future so in the end Look who’s Talking too is indeed a worth see if you have not.




I give look who’s talking Too (1990) a rating of 7/10

My Review


Well this week after long police academy movies reviews next movie review start now with 2 weeks of look talking movies review so for the first time oh yeah before I start will say sadly Kirstie alley pass away so will say Rest in peace Kirstie Alley you are indeed miss now on to the review.



After a weird intro this story of woman who had a affair with a married man and well she got knock up as in pregnant as well so first 10-15 mins Is her being pregnant then she finds out guy who is father is cheating on her then after she goes into labor and gets a ride in a taxi and meets James and will say Kristie labor acting is pretty spot on as well so baby is born by the way the one who does voiceover for Mikey is none other then Bruce Willis that right I find that very interesting so Mikey is born a cool baby who give his thoughts on the world.



Must say I do like the way this movie story is written with the way kids little talking you got to wonder if this what young kids are thinking we will never know must say acting from Kristie and John Travolta together in this one they also made this movie good along with Bruce or else thought he can go from badass in die hard to during great comedy like this will say this one is best.



Also they added to story where Mikey mom is looking for a father so just when it look like her and James the father of Mikey between and cause a fight that guy is still a fool no way she going back with him at all and last 15 mins after what happen brought them together as movie ending with Mikey getting a baby sister voice by Joan Rivers nice ending leading up to number 2.



A great movie this Kristie was indeed beautiful as well her and John acting was so good it was almost real and both are great with kids as well this was start of 3 movies so first one was great and Bruce again as was great too look who talking is indeed worth watching well that for this week review stay turned next week will be reviewing look who talking Too so see you next Saturday for that one and have a good rest of your weekend.



I give look who talking a rating of 7/10

Police academy 7: mission to Moscow (1994) Movie Review

 Starring…………… G.W Bailey , George Gaynes and Micheal Winslow



Director…………Alan Metter



Synopsis


The Russian Government hires the veterans of the police academy (1984) to help deal with the Mafia.



Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


The last of movie series but a few people are not in this one no bubba smith in this along with a few others so will be something to see if it good or bad for me after going though it all for reviews see my review on final Police Academy below.



Movie starts off with intro and music then we see new report look like her eyes are cross or weird one of them playing game as other tells him to stop it ends with two fighting over a video game what the point of that not sure can of lame start there that for sure .



So Moscow is having a hard time with crime over there so they want the best to come over and help them out which is police academy against mafia this might be a test as mafia will be a tough challenge unlike the other ones then Christopher Lee show his character is one of Moscow character does not too bad but not best either it too me not same much without bubba in I would like to see him kick there ass in Moscow there but did not happen which was a shame.


At start it look like story was seriously but then it just got boring story does at 47 min mark I was hoping they would throw something at us that is huge but seem like they force on game or something this game is important to solve before bad guys gain access to it to make them rich not sure story on this is pretty confusing on this one seem to be water down a lot on jokes as well just plain boring .



Cadet is in love with a Russian hot chick but too me I think she one of bad guys to throw him off if so he will indeed be heartbroken could be wrong but look like they are maybe hint at it here near the end it would be something if they did that though.



Not much of ended did get a small sword fight but not much Shane way to ended it like this well it start off good but did not end well could of had a better story and it was not funny much that point missing did not laugh much though and I did not find anything in this one will have to say out of all of number 1 was probably the best out of series shame they could not end it on a high note this seem rush or something wasn’t best though after number 5 is that when it start to go down too me a little number 6 was funny still not best though but number 7 wasn’t funny much is all I got left to say for police academy movies series.



This mark the end of series as next week will be reviewing the look who talking movies series so get ready for that and have good rest of your weekend.



I give police academy 7 a rating of 4/10

Police academy 6: City under Siege (1989) Movie Review

 Starring………….. Bubba smith , David Graf and Michael Winslow



Director…………Peter Bonerz



Synopsis



Those Bumbling cadets take to the streets when three inept goons successfully orchestrate a metropolitan crime wave.




Warning spoilers ahead




My Review


Alright here is the 6th movie of police academy movie series review so hear what I think below.




Movie starts off with that cool intro music fits in so well with this series as pretty cool soundtrack as well then after a nice intro they go to one of Police singing a Christmas song on duty and Harris is not a fan but he hates song now Harris got his own group and then more cops show up as robber took place when them 2 goofballs was not looking big time failed so head cop teams him up with someone he does not like it is so back to this again.



Then they show Eugene waking up he has a son and hear noises In house turns out it was his father getting water do not see his wife in this so maybe he divorced and he took the son in after that most of goofing police force is back sane though with goof up nothing change with them still sane old jokes getting can of old a little bit I understand they got to keep comedy going too just as long as story is good fine with me.



Do I think they drag movies too long some what yes but I guess they think the movies were popular enough in the 80’s to make a whole series of more comedy Police academy movies but after 6 they have to keep it fresh jokes and not old or repeats though so people won’t get tired of it but will say there 2 characters I like the most in movie series is bubba smith as Hightower I like his style when it comes down time to fight he steps up and put the bad guys in there place he very powerful as well he played Hightower very well in the series sadly read he pass away in 2011 he will be missed and I will also remember him in series that made it great. And 2nd one I like is micheal Winslow he does any sound effect with voice pretty good that what makes me laugh sounds he does is very funny as well so them 2 are the ones that hold up police academy movies in my view just getting that out.



Later on police group gets suspended so now so they go on there and trying to figure how robbers are going down fast so they go too computer to find some info not much and oh the main bad guy is behind a screen with a deep voice they do not show his face maybe later it would be something if he was one of policeman but not sure they will go that way writers maybe they won’t show him at all but should or else that would be letdown it will probably would not be huge and just some lame bad guy.



I will say story was lacking this time but got a small funny fight between Hightower and another big guy he throw everything at high tower but Hightower was so he beat the big guy and arrest him pretty much after that it is chase for bad guy behind the screen so it a high speed chase with monster trucks and everything this went on for long could of been short close to the end though so did they stop the bad guy.behind the screen before turns out it was mayor the whole time wow who else who know the city well and has access to city not much of reveal but ok there so movie ends with the way it does last 5 films in funny way.



Well ok movie not best was not favorite still jokes had me laugh though not a whole lot as last 5 movies this was one was little bit boring on story could of been though so next week review will be the last movie review of police academy series so see what I think of number 7 next week.



I give police academy 6 a rating of 5/10
