Movie reviews: Equilibrium & Fantastic Four

My mother-in-law was kind enough to give our family a year's subscription to Netflix and I thought I'd blog my thoughts about the movies I rent.

Equilibrium - one star

This movie was recommended by my buddy Kev and he thought it was money. I couldn't disagree more after seeing this piece of crap. Great actors, Christian Bale & Taye Diggs, but a cheap Matrix ripoff with the dark lighting and post apocalyptic scenario done before in 1984 and The Handmaiden's Tale. Even the cool action scenes couldn't save this horror show.

Fantastic Four - two stars

Decent movie, but nothing to write home about. Cool CGI and action scenes - but not enough meat in the story. The acting is so-so and the Thing's voice is complete crap.

Equilibrium was easily as good as the Matrix and MUCH better than the Matrix 2 and 3....THOSE were junk! The movie was awesome, the cast was awesome (you forgot Sean Bean), the ending was awesome....what didn't you like. Now everything made in the post apocoliptic genre is going to be compared to 1984? THAT movie is overrated if you ask me. I give it 5 out of 5 and I gurantee 9 out of 10 people who watch it will feel the same. I keep in mind that this review is coming from the same guy who liked Pop from the Backstreet Boys....or one of those boy bands. You stink.
