I don't know really. I've used my phone whenever I'm not on the computer, and I'm just in the habit of reviewing every movie that comes off the top of my head. Also, whenever I've seen a movie, I instantly review it straight afterwards whilst the opinion's fresh in my head.

Thor

Thor

(2011)

For a Hollywood comic book movie, this is actually a good one. The characters are unique, and brilliantly played, but I don't very much care for Jane. The story has its flaws (mainly the focus on Earth), but it does come together quite well, and it's a creative interpretation of the mythology and comic book that the film is derived from. I like the film's fantasy setting, and the visuals and special effects are very good, though I think that the musical score is a rather generic choice. To be honest, I can't help but think that this movie would be better if the entire film was set in the fantasy realms, and was animated in the style of the movie Heavy Metal. But nonetheless, it still manages to be an enjoyable movie. Here's hoping the sequel is better.

The Magnificent Seven

The Magnificent Seven

(1960)

In many senses, this is a really good movie. Yul Brynner's performance was really good, and the film in general looks great. The plot seems like any old Western movie of the time, but it all comes together quite nicely, especially when the seven gunmen start dying out. The visuals look great, and they work well with the film's overall style and setting. The best part, without a doubt, is the unforgettably iconic theme song. Overall, this is a film you should definitely watch at least once in your lifetime.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape

(1963)

I'm not denying that it's a good movie. I like it, but I don't think it's an absolute classic. The acting is great, and the plot is historically realistic, but my main problem is that the film is deplorably long. It's longer than any of Sean Connery's 007 movies. If there's one thing that defines the film, it's the film's classic soundtrack, and that film looks really good. And besides, the plot does flow quite nicely.

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles

(2001)

Though it is a valid attempt at reviving Crocodile Dundee as a film series, it's also a rather shoddy attempt. The plot is basically a rehash of the previous films, except that Crocodile Dundee now has a son to take after him. It also tries hard to glare at Hollywood culture, but fails miserably at even that. The film is loaded with poor special effects, dumb action scenes, and basically everything we've seen ten times or more. Overall, the film-makers obviously didn't care for this film, because it's a poorly done comedy adventure with purely coincidental humour.

The Hunt for Red October

The Hunt for Red October

(1990)
9 days ago via Rotten Tomatoes

It's a pretty well-done thriller that pays off in terms of the experience. Alec Baldwin, for some bizarre reason, actually makes for a viable main character, but Sean Connery practically stole the show. In fact, he's the highlight of the movie. The film's overall style can come across as quite aggrandized, but it works for this sort of film, and the plot is quite clever too. Overall, it's not just a good movie, but it's also a piece of good film-making.
