I have no remembrance of the first Iron Man at all, so don't expect any comparisons between them. The thing I liked most about the sequel is the dynamic between the guy who is Iron Man and his wife. Their conversations cracked me up several times during the movie and were pretty much the reason I kept watching. The beginning was rough to get through because Tony Stark (Iron Man) was completely egotistical.
The action scenes were pretty cool too, and the random girl who killed pretty much everybody was cool. But the ending was generally predictable and that whole shindig. So, without the witty banter between characters Iron Man 2 would have been pretty much a wreck, at least to me. But overall I liked it.
I don't think I need to go into details about this movie because I'm pretty sure unless you've been living under a rock so big that you wouldn't hear the Big Bang from under it, you know what it is..
The idea of the movie is interesting, it's just that, after hearing so much hype about it being the best movie ever, my expectations were set way too high for it. And that always results in ending up believing that the movie is not as good as people said it was. Maybe I just don't like mainstream things, not because they're mainstream exactly, but because anything that gets talked about so much gets a built up idea of how great it should be.
This is an older movie (1997) and it's a horror. I don't get too scared at these types of movies, I only don't like when they all of a sudden get loud when something pops out at the characters. There are so many movies like this one that it's pretty ridiculous. But this was one of the first that started the type of scary movies we have today. I wanted to watch it because it's a 90's movie. Reason enough for me.
I think I'll start just putting the trailers on here for the plot synopsis unless I actually want to take the effort to do a little summary because I'm not very good at summarizing things.
Generic plot right? The usual horror film. Except this one has almost no twists at all and the few it does have are lame things that hardly even affect the plot. If you want to make the audience surprised make it something interesting. Lots of screaming and death which I guess is the point of these types of movies, but I enjoy a good plot. There are a lot of well-known actors/actresses in the movie like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr, and Ryan Phillippe. No complaints about the acting, but the script didn't impress me at all.
This is an old cartoon that aired on Nick but was cancelled for who knows why. There aren't very many episodes, but it's hard to watch them only once.
Zim is an alien who is made fun of on his home planet because he is known to be a screw-up. Also, in his society you're thought of to be better the taller you are and Zim isn't tall at all. So, as a joke, the leaders of his planet send Zim to Earth which they didn't think was inhabited. Turns out, Earth is inhabited by people (what a twist) so Zim embarks on his journey to take over Earth. His nemesis is a human boy named Dib (no I don't know what up with the 3 letter names; oh and Dib's sister is named Gaz) who does everything he can to expose Zim as an alien. Zim even attends human school to try and fit in and nobody in the school ever suspects that Zim is an alien no matter what Dib does to try and expose him. Zim doesn't bother covering up his green skin yet people think nothing of it.
The main part of the show to me is GIR, Zim's robot accomplice to destroying the world. If this little guy does not make you go "aww" something is wrong. GIR squeaks when he walks. That's just the cutest thing ever. He also has an obsession with tacos, taquitos. and cupcakes which is really funny. The video shows every reason why GIR is the cutest thing ever so I don't have to write a long thing about why I love him.
I admit the show is pretty immature, but that's because it's intended to be a kid's show. And it excels at doing that. Plus who doesn't love going back and watching old cartoons for laughs?
