Jack Blogs About: Film in 2012

Hi guys,

 

Film this year has been frankly quite amazing. There have been some films that have been soooo good that I have seen them more than once, and there has been some that have let me down, but more about those later.

Now I really don’t want to turn this into a string of really boring film reviews because you can find them anywhere on the internet, instead I just want this to be some of my basic views on the films I have seen so far this year.

 So back in February I went to see the re-release of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace  in its re-mastered 3D format. Yes, I know, it’s the Phantom Menace, but I like Star Wars, get over it.

Just after Star Wars, about an half after actually, I went to see Chronicle, now, there’s a good film, I didn’t like the ending though, that was my only little quibble .

 Next came Wrath of the Titans. OH MY GOD… CRAP. I saw this film at the IMAX in London, I fell asleep, in the IMAX, nuff said.

 Then came American Reunion, now this film really let me down, I really don’t know why, it just didn’t feel American Pie-ish enough. Hmmmmmm?

Now it starts getting good! THE AVENGERS! That film was just pure magic. If you didn’t see it, you missed out big time. Iron man, Thor, Cap, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, what more do you need?

 Went a bit quiet for a while after that because of exams and stuff but I returned with a bang, a big, spidery bang. THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN.  That film blew me away, on par with The Avengers.

 Next up was the big one. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, I was very excited about this film, and it didn’t disappoint, my only problem was that Mr Wayne didn’t spend enough bat-time in his bat-suit.

 The latest film I have seen was Ted, I can sum this film up in one word, disappointing.

 That’s it for now but in the next couple of weeks I plan to see Total Recall, The Watch and Keith Lemon: The Film.

 

Let me know what you think of these films. Tweet me at @TheJackForrest

 

Thanks guys!
