OMG this movie was fantastic!!! Spy gadgets…

lots of explosions…

kicka** sidekick villain…

and lots of fighting…

It played very well on being somewhat serious, making fun of James Bond, and tying in some current issues we are facing in today’s society. I think that the actors that were chosen were perfect, and I loved seeing Mark Hamill in something new.

I found that the villain was a bit weak, both Samuel L Jackson and Sofia Boutella didn’t seem to having any reason to be what they are doing, other than saving the Earth, but how they were doing it didn’t make sense. It didn’t make sense that the politicians would be picked to stay, and how he was going to kill everyone was odd as well. For someone to hate violence, it was a very violent way to end the world.

But other than that, I found the movie to be very funny, exciting, and a great watch if you haven’t seen it.

This movie had so much potential! It started out well, with the normal young hero being thrown into an adventure where he has to save the world. There is a good side and there is an evil side, both wanting him to help them. Personally, I would join the dark side…

Because who wouldn’t say yes to Christopher Eccleston/The Doctor wanting to take over the world and put it into perpetual winter. Snow is just so pretty…

Anyway, the main character became emo, like Spiderman in the third movie, and was very wishy-washy throughout the movie. It felt also, as many movies have done, that the people trying to help him were keeping way too much from him and so our hero couldn’t accomplish his task. Just spill the beans so that we can finish the story already!!!

Christopher Eccleston did a fantastic (*snicker) job, I believe, at being the villain in this movie (though some would call me bias). Although it wasn’t the greatest movie, I think it’s still something you all should check out.
