Supersonic Man

 

Why?

Our family is trying to make our own superhero universe and this goes in with Pumaman.

What in the world?

An alien comes to Earth to save the Earth from villains. He has a human identity and that part kind of confuse me. 

Personal thoughts

This movie was so funny. The theme song was really bad. They must have been first time trumpet players because they could not hit one of the notes and it happened multiple times. I think that they should have had someone else write the music. Supersonic (actual name) flying was amazing. He had to change the way he flied every 3 seconds. It seemed pretty effective though. I thought this movie was pretty funny. Supersonic was interesting because he had basically any power under the sun. He could manipulate objects and he also changed objects into different ones. He also flies and has super strength. His only weakness is his ability to echolocate or whatever. He was literally only stopped because of too high of frequencies.

Score

I have to give this movie an 8 out of 10. It was pretty funny and I would definitely watch it again. One of the funniest parts was when he lifted up a construction car of some time and put it down so that a car would explode. The car exploding was so funny because it was really unwarranted. They veered off to the side and then the car exploded. The main character was very strange because he had a bracelet to turn into the hero and he used it (obviously). SPOILER! At the end of the movie, he gives it to the comic relief drunk and he gets taken back to space. First of all, I did not like the comic relief drunk because he just gave off weird vibes. Secondly, I don't understand how that works. Was he always that human or was the bracelet given to him? If he was an alien, why would he be willing to give up the bracelet for a girl? Was it for love? I didn't really get that part.

The Mummy's Hand

 

Why?

My mom had watched this movie and demanded that I watch it by pitching a quote from my sister. "The Mummy's Hand walked so that the Mummy could run." That had me sold.

What in the world?

An archaeological expedition leads to the discovery of a living mummy that just wants to watch the world end.

Personal thoughts

This movie was crazy. At the beginning, I thought Dave was kind of an idiot about the world. I just didn't know why he was there because I thought that he was just a friend of the main guy, Steve. He is also an archaeologist and that changed how I saw him a little bit. I think I just finally understood why he was in the movie. The magician and his daughter seemed unnecessary but they did need people to help them out with their expedition when everyone else left.

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. Things were moving too fast and too slow at the same time for me to fully understand. I did laugh out loud to myself when the main guy died. I can't get over the way he fell down the stairs. It was just too funny. I also thought that the burning of the mummy was very dramatic. I think that it was necessary and I loved how everyone fainted after everything was said and done. That got a little laugh out of me.

Toys and Pets

 

Why?

I needed something to watch and this seemed right up my alley.

What in the world?

A toy teams up with a robot to help send the robot back to the future and to figure out if he ever gets to change colors.

Personal thoughts

This movie was all over the place. I did like the omnipotent one was just a computer, but the way to get to talk to the omnipotent one was crazy. They had to fight toads. I don't know how to properly give context for the omnipotent one because it came out of nowhere. I mean they got this information from a random turtle. The main character was annoying and I wish he would have fallen from a high place and shattered and died. That would have been a nice little twist for my soul anyway not for the movie I suppose.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. Mostly for the movie itself and a little bit because I missed the big fight scene at the end of the movie and walked back to the resolution. I was a tad confused, but I'm sure I still would have been confused if I had seen it. The main character was just the confusing and the robot basically had no autonomy. They could literally just command it to die AND THEY DID! I think. It was basically dying. Oh and at the end they had an unnecessary dance party to the credits. I don't know why that is a thing for kid's movies.

Mount Hideaway Mysteries: Exes and Oh No's

 

Why?

I saw this movie in my recommended and it looked really bad. Hearing someone say "rolling a natural 20 in real life" was all the convincing I needed. 

What in the world

An ex-spy has to solve a murder in her hometown without the help of any real police.

Personal thoughts

This movie was crazy. Carl from the mayor's office was a strange character. I thought that he would be innocent because there was half a movie left, but he really wasn't innocent. That was pretty stupid and made me doubt what was happening. One part that confused me was that the spy base could not operate on US soil. What the heck does that even mean. I know what it means, but an organization based out of Washington DC was not allowed to work on US soil. How does that even happen? There was also a really bad fake car in the movie. They must have lost all their budget earlier in the movie and the car was the best thing they could do.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. I was intrigued the entire time. The acting was bad, but the movie I had watched earlier today was even worse. It was so much better comparatively. This was not a masterpiece by any means and it ended on a cliffhanger. SPOILER Carl is murdered and the dead friend is alive. There is another movie which I will eventually end up watching.

Love and Penguins

 

Why?

I needed something to watch while I ate and I had seen this movie appearing on my recommended for a while. 

What in the world

A woman (forgot her job) goes to Australia to save a penguin sanctuary. She ends up falling in love with the penguin guy.

Personal thoughts

This movie was very bad. The acting was really bad and the movie mocked me. The penguins were the only good part of the movie. I called them little guys (because they are) and then the movie also called them little guys and it hurt my soul. It ruined the words little guys for me. The acting was atrocious. They talked like not normal people and it hurt me. It was painful to sit through and I wanted to turn it off, but I had to persevere.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. The penguins were really the best part of the movie. I did like the couple that ran the sanctuary. I did not like how the one guy sang, but that's not that big of a deal.

The Pumaman

 

Why?

My mom has wanted me to watch this for a while and we finally found time to watch it together.

What in the world?

A man finds out that he is the Pumaman (pronounced Pew-muh-man) and must fight someone that can mind control people.

Personal thoughts

This movie was crazy. I mean the absurdity of it was just the right amount not to ruin anything. The flying of the Pumaman was crazy. The belt was in complete control of the entire thing. The flying was one of the best parts, but there was one flying scene that really takes the cake. Have you ever wanted to fight a helicopter but you're too small? That's not a Pumaman problem. He can change sizes to be smaller, larger, or the same size as a helicopter. It's a very impressive achievement. The aliens were kind of weird too. They took their giant Christmas ornament, went to Stonehenge, and dropped off a mask that is for evil. That doesn't even make too much sense, but they took the mask back at the end. I have no idea what the point of the mask was. It got us a movie though so it's fine.

Score

I have to give this movie an 9.5 out of 10. This movie was really good, but the flying scenes were just too long. I did like every scene that he flew in, but he could have flown faster or for less time. The main love interest had to have some kind of problem because she never really closed her mouth. I wonder how many bugs she has ate.

Terror Squad


Why?

This movie was recommended by my mom and was one that I had to watch with friends. We gathered together and watched this movie.

What in the world?

Terrorists attack Indiana and it ends up involving high school students. I don't really know the best way to describe the plot of this movie. 

Personal thoughts

I enjoyed this movie more than my friends did, but I didn't thoroughly enjoy it. At the beginning, there was an overdone chase scene that made me want to fast forward. It just went on way longer than it should have. I did like how almost every car blew up though. It made the chase scene semi-bearable. I did feel like I missed something when the terrorists from the car chase showed up at the high school. It just felt really soon. Also, Gus was my favorite character and he had to get himself killed. I don't know why he was harmonica playing and everyone blamed him. HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WERE TERRORISTS IN THERE?!?!? I think Gus should get no blame for his death. He also didn't deserve to die. I think that the movie just needed motivation for the main guy to do good guy things. I don't know.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. It was enjoyable for what it was. One of the funniest parts was the bus changing length during the end sequence. It was crazy how often it changed. Also, they killed so many of the hostages and their whole thing was to not kill hostages. Make up your mind terrorists. I didn't really understand that part and when the one kid was going to shoot the terrorist but the other one shot him. That was frustrating. Oh, the police chief also seemed to be in with the terrorists. He just kind of gave into their demands and didn't send the people in when gun shots were fired. Worst police chief ever!!
