This film review for the film Walking Tall exists solely because I like the film. Throughout the film there is plenty of action that feels like it could exist in real life. Of course, there are plenty of moments that are over-the-top, but still fun. What we want from movies is a suspension of disbelief and to have fun. Therefore, I believe this film is perfect for just that role.
First off, we have the main protagonist returning home after serving in the military. Everything feels off around him, but it still feels like home to him. Eventually he finds out that the town is deeply seeded with corruption, and decides to stand up to it. Obviously this kicks off a film full of action that sometimes may be just a bit much. However, it is still great just to see action that isn’t too much, and that’s what we get.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for the Film Walking Tall
Beyond all of the action in the film, we see the personification of greed which caused the issues in the film. What I mean to say is the plot is actually well written. Though this film is a remake, it is honestly well done though different from the original. I like watching remakes that differentiate from the original in some way. Hopefully, this fact makes you want to watch the film as well.

This film review for the movie Balto goes into how the film is a fantastic animated film. Thus the following is just to discuss how well it plays out. The characters in the film are all well written and makes us care for the characters. Therefore, we cannot feel anything but joy whenever they do. We as the audience get to see how the characters react to the situations they find themselves in, especially dire ones. It is hard for an animation to make us feel sympathy for characters sometimes, but this film is an exception.
First of all, the main characters of the film are sled dogs, so that is different already. Next we see the effect that a prejudiced opinion has on the titular character. He is a dog who is willing to do whatever he can to help others. This can be seen with his facial expressions and the expressions of those around him. Following his run in with prejudice because of his being a half wolf mutt, he proves himself for a long distance journey that can save lives. Therefore we feel nothing but excitement by the time you hear his howl near the end of the film.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for the Movie Balto
Throughout the film, Balto is cast aside for sled runs, even though he is just as good as the other dogs. His following actions throughout the rest of the film make everyone see how great he is. Eventually he helps in a huge way saving the lives of children in a small town by delivering medicine. As a matter of fact, this film is based off a true story, which means this dog is responsible for saving many lives. Hopefully this fact alone makes the film worth watching if you haven’t seen it already.

This film review for the film Air Force One is one that goes into the fantastic filmography of the film. Throughout the film, there is a countless amount of suspense. Viewers can expect the film to be full of moments that make the stakes feel real. The villains of the film are given their direction right out of the gate and we know their motivations. However, we don’t know how characters will react until the moment they have to.
First off, the film sees the capture of a dictator by a joint US- Russian operation. Next, the film shows the President of the United States traveling on the titular plane with his family. Following this, the terrorists make their move and their demands, the release of the dictator. From this point onward, we see the president fighting against the terrorists on his own, and this is because he was in the military. Through the use of guerrilla tactics, he eventually manages to stop the threat once and for all.
In Conclusion for this Film review for the Film Air Force One
All throughout the film we see countless triumphant moments, but not without horrible ones as well. This makes the viewer all the happier when good moments pop up. This film is not perfect in the slightest because some parts can be predictable. However, this doesn’t take away from the suspense that we, as viewers, may feel. Therefore I highly suggest that you watch the film, since it is not only a classic, but a great action film.

This film review for Battleship the movie goes into how this film can be fun to watch, but is not one that people have to watch. After all, this film is one that is based off of a board game. There is nothing special about the film other than one section where they fight like you you would in Battleship the game. The rest of the movie sees another action movie, but against aliens. Therefore, this movie doesn’t deserve much praise but it most certainly is fun to watch.
Firstly, the plot revolves around a battleship crew trapped in an alien barrier. Next, we see the crew trying their best to survive against the much more powerful threat. The humans are the huge underdogs in this film, but we already know the outcome. Then, there is a night scene where they fire shots towards specific areas based off of signals. This is the board game section of the film. The remainder is just regular combat against their enemy.
In Conclusion for this Film Review of Battleship the Movie
It is probably obvious from this film review for Battleship that I don’t care much for the film. That’s not to say I will never watch it again. Regardless of what I think of it there is merit to watching it because it is fun. It’s an action movie through and through, and it can provide plenty of entertainment. I would recommend you try watching it at least once, but it isn’t necessary.

This film review for the movie Shutter Island will discuss the nature of the film and will have possible spoilers. To start off, the film opens with the audience thinking it’s a mystery film. Throughout the movie, however, things start to unravel. As we move through the film, the main character seems to be unraveling a possible conspiracy. This is all a ruse and it all comes together perfectly in the end.
First off, the character starts to notice strange things happening around him, like the world isn’t right. Next, we see what would suggest a cover-up by the doctors of the facility. People in the film also seem to be wary of the main protagonist as time goes on. Therefore, it would also appear that everyone is in on whatever is happening there. Seeing things from the main characters perspective makes us feel the same way he does. Eventually, we see things completely unravel and the truth comes out.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for Shutter Island
This is where the massive spoilers really come into play. By the end of the film, we learn the truth about the titular Shutter Island and the main character. It turns out that he was actually a patient on the island the whole time and it has all been a role play to try and get him to come out of his imagination. Knowing this, he gives in and pretends he is still insane so he can be at peace. Hopefully you’ll have already seen the film before reading this film review for the movie Shutter Island. If you have, then I hope that explains what happened for you.

This film review for ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ is one that goes into just how fun the film is. Following the opening of the film we are introduced to our main characters and how they meet. This event kicks off a wild globe-trotting journey. Following an invention going off the rails, the institute of sciences bets him he can’t circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. Thus, he sets out with his new assistant to do just that. The movie is for kids, and it shows, but so what.
First, I’d like to say that the film plays out well, even if it isn’t what was expected. Second the cast of the film makes it an entertaining film overall. There are visual gags as well as vocal ones, and they are relatively smart. Next, the plot is full of conflict because the bet becomes known worldwide. This, plus a stolen Chinese statue, causes a lot of conflict between the main characters and their enemies. Honestly, I can say that the plot itself makes some sort of sense and is just fun to watch.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for Around the World in 80 Days
While this film is made mostly for children, anyone can have fun with it. I can honestly put this film on right now and be entertained by it yet again. There is of course issues with it like rushing through or sudden plot development. Regardless of that, I can still have fun watching it over and over and I feel most other people would too. I would definitely recommend someone watch it at least once in their life.
