Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

  I absolutely love dinosaurs so I felt it was time to make this blog post ranking the movies of this series!   7) Jurassic Park 3 (7.5) : This was the first JP movie I saw in theaters as a kid. It’s a good movie but perhaps too short. It starts really slow…but when things pick up, they pick up. The Spinosaurus makes its debut with great intensity. Sam Neil’s character when asked if it’s a T-Rex says, “It sounds bigger”. It takes out a T-Rex with minimal difficulty…and basically stalks our cast throughout the movie. The raptors are pretty menacing here…but they only stalk our cast because dude took a Raptor egg. I found the scene with the Pterodactyls to be really good. Ultimately it’s a good movie but against the others it just leaves a bit to be desired. 6) Jurassic World Rebirth (8) -The latest movie. I’ve only seen it twice….first time was in theaters. Man this movie is really really tense. We are introduced to mutant dinosaurs here. Before I get into that I’ve got to talk...

This is a ranking of my favorite Marvel movies. 12) Thor (8.25) -Thor 1 was really good. I liked how it introduced the main character and main antagonist Loki. I think this movie holds up pretty well too. There’s not really a whole lot of action as far as MCU movies go. Thor would later become my favorite hero of the MCU…barely. 11) Iron Man (8.5) -The movie that started it all was a really good film. The movie had a slight plot twist near the end regarding who the real villain was. It’s amazing that if this movie had bombed there might not have been a MCU. No The Incredible Hulk don’t really count even tho they mention it. 10) Iron Man 3 (8.75) - I think I enjoyed IM3 the most of the 3. It just had so   much going on…and an unexpected plot twist regarding who’s the real villain. Iron Man 2 was pretty lame but ultimately not the worst of the MCU. Tony Stark is definitely a really likeable protagonist. 9) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (9) - I didn’t like Guardi...

5) Solo: A Star Wars Story (8.5/10)- this movie is really good. Not sure why so much hate. The film had good pacing and acting. The story is where it fell flat a tad bit. I love this movie but Lando did better than Han acting wise. The surprise villain is good too. I cussed in the heater I was so shocked! 4) Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom (9.5)-This movie was really good. I think it was the Empire Strikes Back of Jurassic movies. The movie is really dark with few humerous spots. That Indo-Raptor tho...what a monster! Overall terrific film. 3) Avengers Infinity War (9.75)-Avengers 3 is really really dope. Peep a review for it on my blog. Overall its really good but there isnt really any character development except for the main villain Thanos. Iron Man and Cap America never share a scene but both fail here to win. The movie is action heavy and sets up the cataclysmic Avengers 4 coming just 1 year later in spring 2019. 2) Black Panther (9.95)- A terrific movie. Sound in all aspec...

1.        Transformers The Last Night-I really enjoyed Transformers 5. It was a firm step in the right direction despite some serious continuity errors with the first 3 movies. Despite that the cast is great and the action….you know I like that action! I cannot wait for #6. 2.        Star Wars The Last Jedi-This is my 2 nd pick…but I’ve only seen it once, so in the future I may look back and say this was my favorite film. TLJ is amazing by all accounts. The middle part is kinda uneven but I like the fact they made it different than Empire Strikes Back. I think this movie had a couple climaxes. 3.        Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2-This barely beat out Thor, but yeah its really an improvement over the original to me. It is really funny and the plot is really good. I found the movie slightly predictable….but it’s a win for Marvel. 4.        Thor Ragnarok...

Star Wars Ranking Eligible Movies: Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One,A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Force Awakens, The Last Jedi 9) Phantom Menace- I love all Star Wars movies but this one out of the bunch is the weakest. The movie is SLOW. The dialogue is bad…..its saving grace is the pod race and the final battle which has multiple fronts. In particular, it has a beast lightsaber fight, which at the time was the best. Anakin, Qui Gon, And Obi Wan are great in this movie, but then there’s Jar Jar …..nuff said. Lol. (7.5) 8) Attack of the Clones- Okay I admit it, I like this movie more than PM. I mean it is also SLOW. However it plays out like a mystery movie so its cool. The sequence at the end is better than PM’s scene. Seeing Yoda fight for the first time is awesome. The dialogue might be the worst in the saga. I did like Anakin here however, albeit he would only be cooler in ROTS. (8) 7)Rogue One- This is a...

First off this is not' a list post....I changed my mind. Here is my favorite movie of 2016...followed by 2 runner ups. 3rd Place: Deadpool Now Deadpool is an incredibly funny movie. Action packed too. I saw it earlier in the year like February. I havent watched it much but that's not because I didnt enjoy it. It's so raunchy and explicit....i loved it. 2nd Place: Star Wars Rogue One- What Star Wars didnt get the top spot like last year? Yeah....I'm not sure if it was just the fact I've only seen this once but hey its #2. Better than Star Trek and X-men for sure....It was so sad at the end..the acting and special effects were incredible. Winner: Captain America Civil War I paused when thinking of my favorite movie this year...but there's just no denying this film. The movie is greatness. It's kind of like a side movie to the eventual Avengers 3. There's no super villain this time around, but our heroes find themselves fighting. I...

Ah yes, I am back my loyal followers...uh readers...most people dont...nevermind. I got a few things to talk about. 1)First off, let me give you my 2 cents on the shooting in Ferguson. I dont approve of the cop, but the victim was no angel either. Was race factor..yes...is this country still racist? Yes. I dont have a lot to say about it.... 2)I've been hearing that this year, 2014 hasnt' been a good year for rap music. Well i partly agree with that....I honestly think the main reason for this is that 2013 was a great great year for rap. There havent been that many great rap albums, but there have been a few that I really like. Well there's always next year right. I'm looking forward to Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar's albums. This year Lil Wayne will drop the Carter V and Nicki Minaj will drop her 4th album, Pinkprint. 3)Movie wise....its been a fairly dissapointing year imo. Sure i loved Transformers 4, and I enjoyed TMNT movie but thats about it. I am lookin...
