First Blood- 9.5/10

First Blood: Part II - 9/10

Rambo III - 6/10 - Rambo should not be in the desert. The knife sucked too :lol

Rambo 4 - 9.5/10 - I would give it a 10, but I hated his knife in this film.
 
His Pt 4 knife was pretty much a meat cleaver.

Yeah, a machete, which makes sense, but I didn't like the design. My favorite knives are the ones from part 1 and 2. He used the part 2 knife in Rambo 4 in a deleted scene, so that was pretty cool. Hopefully he goes back to using the original survival knife for part 5.
 
I think the design fit the tone of the film. A crude barbaric weapon to dispose of a crude barbaric army.

The first movie he used the survival knife to survive. In the following two it was just to kill.
 
True, I just love that first knife so much.



Part 2 was similar and made by the same guy, just a little bigger, and it had the black color which goes with his outfit, I guess.



Part III, this is where it gets a bit silly. It was too big, and it wasn't practical, but a lot of people love this knife.

Part 4 You're right, it fits the film, and at least he used it in some key scenes, especially at the end. That was pretty awesome.

I caught First Blood the other night. I'd give it a 8.5/10. I didn't like Rambo III's knife either.
 
:lol really? Been awhile since I've seen III. It's an interesting design, but doesn't fit Rambo at all.

Yeah, it was too big (17 inches). The knife was in 4 or 5 scenes, and in one of those it was the wrong knife (continuity error) and two of those 5 scenes weren't even actions scenes, just some kid playing with his knife and Rambo holding it. The one time he's about to use it in a fight, he drops it on the sand :lol There's a deleted scene from part 3 that shows him making the knife, but it made no sense because that knife's design is way too complex for him to make in one night, not to mention it had a really nice wooden handle, and it takes a while to make a knife like that :lol
 
Abre Los Ojos- 8/10 I've been wanting to watch this one for a couple years, but never got around to it. I'm a big psychological thriller fan and it made me happy!
 
THG: Catching Fire

I had seen THG several years ago, but never got the chance to actually see the sequel. Jennifer Lawrence is a powerhouse. This movie was ten times better than the first one (maybe even a 1,000) something like that. Mind you, I've never read the books but before the movies were released (before the first one) I researched the heck out of it (liked it before it was cool). Catching Fire out of the Hunger Games film was the best one yet. Lawrence is definitely one of my favorites, and she really brought a lot to the film. The story itself was impactful, impowering in a way. Right when it starts, it pulls you in. There's also a lot more action and more of story with this one. The premise just seems so realistic in a way. I mean, what's happening nowadays people not having the chance to stand up for what they believe in, restricted or even punished for doing so. President Snow, I love the fact you get to see how sinister it really all is. Phillip-Seymour Hoffman was incredible! I freaking love the twist at the end! This has gotten me overall excited to see Mockingjay. For Mockingjay looks like they're following it pretty closely compared to the book.
*SPOILER I hope they actually let her kill Snow*
Lawrence dynamic in acting is on cue, and while I never thought much about Hutcherson especially in the first film, it shows he can actually act alongside Lawrence.
Johanna (don't know the name of actress) was great. Ever since I saw the first one, I liked it but I was never in the actual hype as I am now. You can feel that Lawrence gives Katniss a soul. Especially since the Mockingjay has just has got to be one of the biggest symbolisms of the entire series, and how Rue had such a big influence over Katniss along with Katniss's guilt, it shows more than anything that Katniss is a human being. The fact Katniss gets screwed over, when she's suffering from the movie's first events and having to relieve the same horrors (or die another day) reminds me something connected to the spoils of war. Post traumatic disorder, especially something that occurs in soldiers after coming home. This movie was an absolute brilliant surprise.

Five starts being the best, it gets 4.5/5
 
The Amazing Spiderman 2 - 6.5/10

Okay, I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but the movie just wasn't as bad as I keep hearing from other forum members, in fact, I thought it was an improvement over the last one, which I hated. Maybe I just went in with very low expectations, or maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought the film was pretty average.

I thought the guy who played Harry Osborne was MUCH better than James Franco, and I thought
Gwen's death
added a bit of realism missing from many superhero movies. Not sure if I still need to spoiler tag a movie this old, but I always thought it was ridiculous when a hero would
catch someone falling from great heights and yet never sustain injuries or die ::cough:: Superman ::cough::

It wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but I've seen much worse. I really don't think it deserves all the mud slinging.


Cant wait to see how many people quote me and bold the line "I'm an idiot", I know it's too much to resist for some of you, so don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings.

Since I already destroyed whatever cred I had by defending TASM2, I will chime in to say that I agree with you that Catching Fire was a much better movie than the first Hunger Games. I did not like Hunger Games, but I found myself enjoying Catching Fire. I think CF had a much better Director this time around, or (get ready for the quote) maybe my taste is getting worse in my older age.
