I Am Legend is truly the best of it's genre due to Will Smith's acting.He truly brings the character of a slightly insane loner to life. The films horror element is the very definition of scary. The is one scene in the dark of an abandoned building that really gets your heart pumping.
The second half is not as bad as everyone says it is. The ending well...ends it perfectly as it proves how Doctor Neville (Will Smith) is LEGEND.

Rogue is a great aussie horror film from acclaimed director of Wolf Creek Greg McLean. The film was slow paced at the beggining but that is a good thing just like Wolf Creek. I'm surprised there is nothing about it on filmspot, just the title and cast. Despite the lack of updates and respect Rogue is much better than lots of American horror films, no offense guys but us aussies make beauties in the world of FILM AND TV. The cast is superb Michael Vartan and Radha Mitchell along side a group of tourist. The croc is massive.

This movie was very enjoyable but the only things that pulled it lower than the first one is there being a thousand Agent Smiths, are they trying to turn the film into a joke? Not to mention the turn their making for the storyline which makes the storyline all mixed up and ruining the original's already complicated storyline.
But enough ranting and lets get on with the film's good points. The fight scenes are spectacular and the effects are as groundbreaking as the first one. The acting is nice enough. Agent Smith gets less dimentional than the other agents but thats what makes the agents scary enough to be bad guys. Neo remains the centre of the storyline as his abilities increase in power. Trinity who is mildy beautiful brings the little tint of romance into the film. Morpheus remains the trilogy's coolest character with his name and snazzy glasses.
Over all this film is good but there was still room for improvement.

The terror was inrelenting. Even though the acting from some of the actors was poor the movie covered that up with it's best qualities and thats why I'm keeping it at five stars. It is a classic and kind of scares people more than some of movies these days. Gunnar Hansen acts his best to make his character LeatherFace more terrifying and gives him a retarted edge. The rest of the crazy family are also horrifying including the fragile granpa, hitchiker and old man at the gas station.

ALIENS smashes it's mother ALIEN. Micheal is a great actor as Hicks the male star of the film and Sigourney Weaver is great playing Ripley the female star of the film. So much action as this time it's not only one ALIEN but at least hundreds of them including a queen Alien. No offense but James Cameron can direct an Alien based movie better than Ridley Scott.
Good special effects for the 80's. Great cast for the marines including that guy that says"Game over man! Game over!". I I have left to say is that I have to give five stars.

ROCKY BALBOA isn the best come back from a crap sequel that I have ever seen in my whole life. It starts off slow just like the first movie in the saga and half just blasts you away with ROCKY'S last training session and run up those large Philly stairs filling you with lots of needed inspiration to forget all about the disasterous Rocky 5. Mason the line Dixon is a great character as well as opponent.

This is the true classic that influenced many movies after it showed it's face. Michael Myers should be on top as far as horror movie legends go. Halloween ran on a low budget but they didn't need special effects to make it scary as having one white masked man killing people in the dark is pretty much all you need to scare most audiences. Also the way he moved scared most audiences.
The film's stars didn't act that well and the death in the car seemed so funny due to the girls crap acting but thats not enough to bring the film's score down thanks to Michael Myers.

One of the most deeply moving life based movies of all time. Robert De Niro shows great dedication to his role as Jake La Motta by gaining fifty pounds to become the Bronx Bull. The film has spectacular fight scenes with a little uneeded amount of blood spurting out of eyebrows which is still great for violent movie fans. But there is more to Raging Bull then just blood, this film truly captures Jake La Motta's life,

What can I say. This is truly the best horror film ever created. Danny Boyle knows how to make a horror film and keep the actors from acting cheesy. Cillian Murphy is great in his role as Jim who awakens in the hospital to find that his home city of London is deserted. Great camera work throughout the film and it gets a haunting feeling to it when Jim walks across a deserted London. Christopher Eccleston shows great depth even though he only shown in a quarter of the movie.

So much better than any other Bond film ever made. Daniel Craig must keep the role until he is too old because he is the best answer for a Bond after Pierce.

I have to give this film five stars because it equals both other movies in the trilogy. Such an epic battle at Helms Deep as well as Isengard. The second film in the epic trilogy continues on with Frodo and Sam's journey as they meet Gollum. The story also continues on with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli's journey in the majority of the trilogy's epic battles. Merry and Pippin are also shown of course. Perfect film for a perfect trilogy.

WARNING SPOILERS: I felt like giving this movie a five star rating but I just have to take away one star out of respect for how perfect the first one was. 28 Weeks Later carries some of that feeling the first one had but not a great amount and thats the only flaw. This film has a lot great and spectacular bird's eye view shots that make the film feel very exciting. The best scene is the first sequence with the trashed cottage and Don running to the river from at least hundreds of infected. Although the film doesn't use the same type of camera that made the prequel feel haunting it still is just as good in other ways. You will find some really emotional scenes from the film including when the dad gets infected. Overall I find this film to be very great entertainment as far as the word sequel goes. Surprisingly excellent.

Rocky is one of those inspirational films like karate kid or etc. Sylvester Stallone did a great job as the bum who moves into a big time boxing career. Rocky is a film that should of just stuck to three sequels because Rocky five could and can never even hope to match up to the original movie's legacy. Great acting and drama shows that this is much more than a boxing movie. Sylvester Stallone's climb to become a recognised performer is a big part of Rocky. Just simply the best film of the seventies.
