Yo, cuzzo. Here is Peter Rallis' special review show where he reviews 9 of the summer's biggest movies in 12 minutes. He does GI Joe, District 9, Inglourious Basterds, The Goods, Halloween 2, Final Destination, 9, Sorority Row, The Gamer.
I reviewed a few of these already but I haven't been able to see them all and I thought you guys deserved to see some reviews on them. In the future, I'll try to get to the movies more to give you the reviews myself, but for now check out what Peter Rallis has to say.
We are completely on the same page about GI Joe. The visuals and dialogue were pretty bad. We disagree on District 9. The documentary style was a good touch and the deaths in Final Destination, aside from the one with the bus, were pretty good. Peep his reviews and if you like this video, check out his Youtube account, RallsP Youtube.
Aiight, cuzzo. I just peeped New Line Cinema's newest thriller, The Final Destination 3D, and I thought... it was pretty crazy. I went in expecting a fun thriller with a lot of blood and gore and that's what I got. After watching three previous movies with the same plot structure, I was no longer expecting mind-provoking plot devices, but I simply excepted it for what it was, crazy and creative death sequences. And in that department, I was very satisfied. My reaction to this quadrilogy is similar to my reaction to the Saw series. At this point, I'm numb to the plot twists so I enjoy them solely for the gadgets and traps.
Anyway, the deaths were over the top but entertaining. I mean, the ways these people died were outta control. And the suspense was amazing. I was literally on the edge of my seat, waiting to see how these people were going to die. And the 3D took the deaths over the top! The 3D effects started out a little shaky in the beginning but they gradually hit their marks as the movie progressed. I found myself cringing more than once (and I never cringe!) so this movie succeeded in what it set out to do.
Overall, it was an entertaining movie going experience. It wasn't the movie of the summer but simply a teen thriller that did its job- keep me amused for an hour and a half. It was way better than Final Destination 3 but not as good as the first two movies. I think the series should definitely end here on a somewhat good note before people start to really resent them. I don't recommend this movie for the weak of heart but if you're a fan of bloody and gory films, check out FD3D and stay up.
