More Movie Reviews

Transformers3:
It's long. Even if two and a half hours doesn't seem long, it will feel long. I loved the first Transformers movie. The second one was...okay. But I didn't really enjoy this one at all. The decepticons have returned, surprise surprised, and they're still looking to take over the Earth. The first successful mission to the moon back in whatever year that was was actually a secret mission to investigate an alien shuttle that had crash landed onto our moon. The cargo of this ship is the focus of the Decepticons, they want it no matter what so they can take over the world. And blah blah. And two hours go by without any action, and it's slow and frankly pretty boring. Sam, the main character, has a new girlfriend, who looks pretty much the same as his last one. He's extremely insecure and jealous of everyone who even talks to her.
You could probably come into this movie two hours late and not have really missed anything.
Only see this movie if you have a lot of time on your hands, or if you're a hardcore Transformers fan.

Cars2:
The story is completely different from the first movie. The only thing they have in common are some of the characters, and that it's a movie about cars. In this one, Lightning McQueen enters a world cup, and he brings along many of his friends from Radiator Springs to come along with him. The purpose of the race is to promote alternative energy. But then there's a group of old and fragile cars who will go to any extent to eliminate alternative energy and make everyone stay with big oil. And then there's this whole spy things going along, where Mater gets mistaken as an American spy, so he helps the British spies try to find the bad guys. There's also a lot of scary violence for a kid movie. Many have said this movie is enjoyable, but I was bored the entire time. The choice is yours whether or not to see it.

Larry Crowne:
This was an overall feel good movie. You don't have to worry about bad guys or much conflict at all. Larry Crowne is fired from his job at a Walmart like store because he doesn't have a college education. So he enrolls in some classes at his community college. He becomes friends with his classmates and joins a scooter gang and falls in love with his speech teacher. And that's about it. I couldn't really tell you any big spoilers because there aren't any. That's all the movie it about. It was a nice change from our usual fast paced, good vs bad movies. If you want to just relax and see a light-hearted, carefree movie, go ahead and see this one.
