The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader = 5/5 stars

This movie was excellent. When I first heard that the two older siblings, Peter and Susan, were not in the movie, I was a little disappointed. But, I was also excited to know that the movie was not going to be done by Disney anymore which means there would be more action! And there was!!! The action sequencing was one of the biggest highlights of this movie. The story line was very good also! It always kept you guessing at every turn which made the movie very intense at parts. There also was some humorous parts to the movie. The music reminded me at some parts of Pirates of the Caribbean which was awesome! Grammy Award winning David Arnold did a very good job composing the music! The scenery and special effects were amazing! The acting also improved a lot since the last movie! The adding of Lucy and Edmunds cousin Eustace to the movie was also kind of cool. And I loved the way that some of the characters, especially Aslan, symbolize a bigger meaning. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

Tangled 4/5 stars

This fairy tale classic of Rapunzel is brought to the big screens in a comic way. I was very surprised when i saw the movie because at first you would think that it would be just a typical disney movie made for little kids only. But as you watch it, you find yourself smiling, and than laughing out loud! The story line was very good also because it has its twists of the original fairy tale! The only bad part was the way the movie ended. Go see this movie if you want a really good laugh!!!

Til' next time

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 = ★★★★★

This is truly a great movie. it stays true to the book and is full of some intense scenes!!! Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione, are left with a giant quest of survival, and the saving of the whole world with the death of Dumbledore in the previous movie. They must destroy Voldemort at all costs by destroying all 7 of his horcruxes. But where to start, and how do you destroy them? This epic movie shows the journey of Harry and his friends as they embark on the biggest, dangerous adventure of their lives. The stakes are higher and the Dark Lord is as strong as ever. The music by Alexandre Desplat, was excellent and intriguing. The story line was very good but gets a little slow towards the middle but is made up for by the action scenes. My only criticism is the way the movie ended. It ended very open at the end but builds suspense for the next movie. If you go see this movie, you will not be disappointed!

This is Nicholas with my first review!

Tron: Legacy, 4/5 Stars

Hey Everybody!

Will here with our first review! Last night, I went to go see the movie Tron: Legacy. I was pleasantly surprised! The movie starts as young Sam Flynn is doing his annual prank on his dad's company. His dad has been missing for many years, and Sam just figures that he is dead. One night, Sams dad's friend gets a page from Mr. Flynn, Sam's dad. Sam goes to investigate and finds that there is a secret project under his dad's old arcade. Sam accidentally activates it and is flung into the world of Tron! Right away danger and action ensues! The highlights of the movie for me were all of the action and fighting sequences. They are beautifully done, and seeing it in IMAX 3D really added to the awesomeness of the movie.  Another thing that was just great in the movie would be the music! The entire soundtrack was done by Daft Punk. For those of you who aren't familiar, Daft Punk is a French techno group, famous for their hit song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".  The soundtrack was absolutely beautiful, the best of it being the song "Derezzed". One thing the movie was lacking was a strong story line though.  If you aren't familiar with the story of Tron, it may be a little confusing to you. But if anything, go see this movie for the epic action and awesome soundtrack! This is Will signing off of my first review!  

Till Next Time,

Hey Everybody!

This is Will and Nicholas with our first post! We are just going to tell you a little bit about our blog. Over the years, Nicholas and I have been very disappointed in movie critics.

We will give you honest movie reviews that are actually good, without ruining the movie for you! So check back every once in a while to see what we have to review!
