Finally, Something That Isn’t Star Wars!
Although to be honest, I’m not sure why Honest Trailers isn’t doing Star Wars right now. Or have they already done those films? Either way, here’s the Screen Junkies‘ take on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes!
I like the new Apes franchise. The movies are well-made and Andy Serkis is a total star. Solid work all around!
Keeping Days of Future Past Honest
I mildly enjoyed X-Men: Days of Future Past. I don’t think it is the best X-Men movie, I don’t think it’s the worst. But I haven’t really found it in me to watch it again now that it’s coming out on DVD. It was just a genuinely entertaining X-Men film. I suppose that’s all it needed to be. But Screen Junkies can obviously have some fun with it if they want!
As If We Needed Honest Trailers To Tell Us What Was Wrong with Transformers 4
Turns out I’m making this a Transformers day! I honestly did not see that coming, but Honest Trailers whipped out a video for Transformers: Age of Extinction the same week I wrote up that nifty Transformers List of Six. I could not let that coincidence pass without taking full advantage. They hit all the right points. Such a silly movie and franchise.
Godzilla Gets Taken Down a Peg
I still like the movie, even if it’s just as troublesome as the Screen Junkies say. And now that I think about it, every single human character in this film, with the possible exception of Kick-Ass, really is superfluous to the story. Bryan Cranston doesn’t do anything to impact the plot. And Ken Watanbe’s character doesn’t make any sense. Where does he possibly get the theory that Godzilla is some kind of Earth defense system? How does that theory even form in his brain?!
Despite the Mockery, I Stand By My Enjoyment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Earlier this summer, I rated The Amazing Spider-Man 2 an 8 out of 10, or ‘very good’. I stand by that rating. I enjoyed the movie, I enjoyed the performances and the villains, and I had a good time.
But that doesn’t spare the film from getting torn apart by Internet mockers! Because yeah, there were a lot of dumb moments in that movie. So as is the case with the Internet, here are the Honest Trailer and the Everything Wrong With…for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Did you see what they did there? Those nerds are getting creative with their Internet mockery. I like it. Though this might mean that the Internet is becoming self aware…
