G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)
Disappointing, unoriginal story minimized by duration of action events.
All these martial arts action is getting lame and not entertaining nowadays. Combine it with the use of guns out of this world is just dull. G.I. Joe: Retaliation boasts factors like that are ALWAYS seen in a typical 21st century action film. I've watched the movie about two weeks ago and by the end of the film I felt I wasted money. Too much events of adrenaline-pumping isn't just good unless there are thrilling moments added to it. I didn't see any of that in this movie. I'd say this film shows less talking, more action that gets dull and very predictable.
The story is unoriginal and crosses reality very way off. Removing all those strong language used in the film, this is already a kids' movie. Now I've seen a lot of movies that threatens the whole world. I've been entertained by some and didn't care about some. The script is terribly messed by lots of action scenes. If there are conversations going on, I'd say, simplicity is not enough to compensate for the overwhelmingly long time of action. However, I'll give credit to unexpected humors in the movie that really pulls off. The acting of the characters were just okay but didn't really moved me; I cannot feel the emotion they are carrying.
Overall, this movie is just the same as they say about its predecessor, only a slight worse. At least that's what I think....
The King of Queens: Pilot (1998)
It's a clean and nice beginning to the show.
The characters, their lives and current situation (family, relationship, job, etc.) are properly introduced in a nice way. The intonations of each character are really effective in delivering those jokes and other funny stuff.
Even though, Kevin James and Leah Remini just started with this show along with Jerry Stiller, they put up a really great and stress-relieving start to the series.
The development of significant events makes the entire series interesting to watch. The jokes and gags are really getting there; it's as if it makes the sitcom feel you and really entertain you.
