Captain America: The Last Avenger

Before I rate this next movie, I'd just like to say that I was never a big fan of the Captain America comics so sorry if I sound completely ignorant.

Captain America

*SPOILERS*

So this movie started with a young kid named Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, who wanted to help out in war basically because be believes he can do more with his life. If it were me, I wouldn't want to be out in the freezing cold putting my life on the line, but he still wants to fight the power. So Steve Rogers has by the time the movie starts, failed to get accepted as a soldier five times. He then tries one more time and gets noticed by this scientist, Ebraham Erskine. Erskine accepts him into the like highest class of soldiers. One of those soldiers will become a "super-soldier" with unnatural powers. Steve Rogers is then surrounded by about twelve other guys who could easily pound him to the ground. Erskine believes that Rogers is the best for this experiment not because of his strength, but his smarts and output on life. Steve Rogers becomes Captain America.

Captain America with the help of Peggy Carter, bacially one of the generals in the war in charge of Rogers, attack posts full of german soilders. Red Skull ends up at the destroyed post right after Captain America leaves. After that there are all these scenes with fighting and what not. One of the things I really loved about this movie was red skulls costume. The costume was pretty well done.

So, now let me get to the most ridiculous part of the whole movie, the ending. So Captain America is crashing down this airplane full of nuclear weapons and if he doesn't "put the plane down" it will kill all these people in New York. So then he crashes the plane into some iceburg, and right before he "fake-dies" he is talking to Peggy Carter and they make a date and she is crying and all depressed her boyfriend was about to die. Then he crashes into the iceburg and everything turns white.

Then like a minute later he wakes up in this like room and then he busts out of it and finds out he was sixty years in the future and then the very first thing he says, which I found pretty unbelievable, is: "I had a date"

Now this movie was not very boring, but seemed lacking. I'd only suggest it if you have read the comics and love to watch people get blown up and get their heads cut clean off. Mabye it was just me, but when you make a movie based on a book/comic it should make at least a bit of sense for the people that haven't watched it. I know batman made sense to people who haven't read the comics, same thing with spiderman, but this made absolutly no sense to me. I had no idea what was going on. And if you ask me Captain America would have been better if he actually just died in the end by the iceburg instead of coming back alive "somehow" in the future. I had no idea who that Nick Furry man was at the end with the eyepatch. I didn't understand how anyone could live sixty years and not age. Mabye his body froze in an iceburg I don't know but the movie felt quite a bit rough. The movie honestly was somewhat a downfall from Marvel.
I've seen better.
My Rating: 6.5/10

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

*SPOILERS*

The first movie I am going to review is Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Official Poster

Now, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes rotated around a genuis scientist, Will, played by yours truely, James Franco. James Franco in this movie is working at a reasearch facility/lab on a cure for alzheimer's, which is basically a illness which causes memory loss. So at the lab James Franco is testing his cure on apes, taking twelve apes and giving each of them a shot of cure and training them using the tower of henoi which is basically a puzzel that has three rods, with four rings of different sizes, the objective being to get all four rings to the other sides rod, without putting a bigger piece on top of a smaller piece, the perfect score being 15 moves, one of the apes, bright eyes(or something like that) manages to complete the puzzle in 16 moves. Bright eyes gets shot in the movie at one point and James Franco's cure failed. All the chimps have to be put down, but bright eyes had given birth to a baby chimp. Basically James Franco is forced to take the new chimp home. The chimp is named Caesar, and lives with Will for several years.

Now the amazing thing about this movie is that you watch Caesars growth, he gets more and more agressive as he grows as well, soon he attacks a the neighbour. Caesar is taken away to basically a pound for apes. Will leaves him for many days. Eventually Caesar is destroyed in anger he takes it upon himself to take over the world.

Caesar's Army

He finds a way to escape his cage at night and finds his way back home, there he takes some of the new, improved cure for alzheimer's and exposes all the others apes to it. He then trains the apes like Will had done. Then when the time was right, they all escaped. Now Caesar and all the other apes free all these other apes from the zoo, then end up on this bridge, there they take down all the SWAT team and police and end up in the woods. Where in the end Will and Caesar make peace, and all the apes then live free in the woods.

Now this movie, was quiet amazing! I truely did love it, the fighting scenes were well done, well filmed, the only problem was... It was too predictable, everyone knew that the movie would end all happy, I knew who would die too. It would have also been better if it were 3-D.
My Rating: 9/10
