Why lie I had some pretty low expectations for this one, the first trailer looked fucking amazing but the only problem with it was that at the end they talked. It had real potential then they ruined something great with a terrible joke. It's funny that the movie is just like the first trailer, it looks gorgeous but it has terrible comic relief that made my stomach churn at the thought this was making adults laugh. It was not funny and I have to agree with the screaming baby in the audience that evening, this movie makes me want to scream and run out of this shitstorm of daddy issues and random cameos. I mean why the fuck did they motion capture Steven Tyler and make him look so creepily realistic?
Yeah I know that's not how motion capture works
but doesn't that look almost identical to Steven Tyler?
So for about the first twenty minutes the movie shows every main characters daddy issue. The lead girl, Mary Katherine who is strangely named after a mediocre SNL skit, has to live with her dad since her mother died and she hardly knows him since the divorce and it's pretty obvious why she divorced him, I mean who would have guessed Arthur from Arthur Christmas would get laid?
See, being Santa's son means Poon City.
Which is located close to a medical clinic.
So it turns out the mom left him because he had a sick fascination with a world of tiny people, why he had to devote his whole life to this crap? Character development or some shit like that I guess, because being a lovable goof is totally a worthwhile character trait. But I digress. So she's not the only one with daddy issues the evil guy, played wonderfully by Cristoph Waltz, he doesn't necessarily have daddy issues but his son who dies in the next scene does. All he wants is to be noticed and loved by an evil bad ass. Which is honestly an okay thing to want.
WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?
KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!
And last is the lead guy who is a douche because his dad is dead and the man who is raising him now is Colin Farrell. So he decides fuck you I'm gonna be a rebel and goes to be a race bird driver. So all these people pretty much meet up because the lead girl is like fuck this shit and leaves her dad's house but has to chase after the dog because it doesn't understand what subtlety is. While all that is happening the Queen of the Forest,played by Beyonce, is putting her life essence into a bud and then Christoph Waltz is like fuck you and attacks the ceremony and kills Beyonce in the process but at the cost of his son being killed, all while the girl finds the Queen but before she can ask for an autograph she is shrunken down and forced to protect the bud.
AKA bunch of shit happened and I was too busy drawing this.
So she must go on a journey with annoying comedic relief characters, who I will not mention anymore because fuck those guys, and Colin Farrell. So they travel to the bird races and see that annoying guy who is going to make out with the girl by the end of the movie, which only takes place in about an eight hour or less time span. So they find him and he's like I'll only join you if I get to make out with her by the end and they agree and go to see Steven Tyler all while Christoph Waltz is scheming to take the bud so he can have a son, instead of you know making woohoo with a female.
Well that would mean a whole lot less screen time
for this lovable guy. And that would have made this movie surprising worse.
So I'm just going to stop, I can't handle thinking about this crap anymore it's just not a good movie and the worst part is that this crap is Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, because apparently the world needed another Ferngully style craptastrophe. Seriously what is wrong with reviewers, this movie has almost no funny moments and when they try to be funny it's during a grossly inappropriate time, the characters are so one dimensional that they are barely visible on screen, it's a terrible thing because this movie is a real treat for the eyes but it makes all your other senses feel like they've been through utter hell just so one of your senses can feel good kinda like most of the parents walking out of the movie, sure they're happy their kids loved it but they had to sit there and watch this asshole of a kids movie.
This movie gets one who gives a fuck out of five.

Iron Man 3 Review
I had a dream a few months before this movie was released, I went to see this movie and it was pretty much a buddy cop flick with Iron Man and Iron Patriot and they would high five a lot. Well as it turns out my dream wasn't entirely off.
Sadly Iron Man and Iron Patriot do not solve crimes and have high speed
car chases in this pimp mobile the toy companies made for them.
The interactions between the two almost feel like they're out of Lethal Weapon, and is played for some really good laughs. Now I'm going to try and do a spoiler free review because there's a lot of spoilers that I just can't give away. Hell I can't even talk about the villain unless I want to spoil a great twist ending.
Not gonna I lie, I shit myself when I saw him.
Well the basic plot is Tony is having anxiety attacks because of the wormhole in The Avengers and some asshat named Mandarin has to make it worse by blowing his house up because he's a jerk. So Tony goes through a journey of himself and doesn't drink any alcohol or listen to any AC/DC. And he's reshaped as the godlike being known as Bat...I mean Iron Man. Oh those rich playboys saving the day from terrorist attacks.
So it's really not an Iron Man movie with some amazing high flying action scenes, well this one blows every action scene from the previous two and cranks it up to twenty. Every action feels so natural and fast paced whether he's in the suit or not Tony can kick ass but not as much ass as Don Cheadle.
He'll turn you into a fucking tree if you do fuck with him.
So I guess this is where I should put some complaints, I guess the only one I really have is the ending with a certain fake death of character, I won't say who but I was really hoping this movie could keep up with these twists and kill off one of the main characters. But at the same time I can see why they didn't, they probably changed it for good measures since a general audience would be sad, which is what you aim for with movies, emotions. And if they had gone through with killing off this character I think it would have made for a better movie. Still at the end of the day this movie is still an amazing flick and a great end to the Iron Man trilogy.
