December Movie Reviews


This is a review for the movies that I saw in December. The last month of the year and I have to say the movies that came out were good but there was not many to watch.

Black Sea - 6/10. I gave this a 6 purely because this movie is not the type I would go to see anyway. I don't usually like any movies to do with the sea and boats because I find it so boring. I saw this because I had an empty Friday night with nothing to do. The movie was good though and probably the best boat one I have seen (apart from Titanic obviously!). It starred a toned Jude Law and he played the part of the submarine captain. It was a movie about one of Hitlers U boats which had millions of gold on it that nobody had claimed because it was in the Black Sea and was in the Russian area. 12 men (all experts in the submarine area) went to claim the gold. There was 6 British and 6 Russian. The movie showed the claustrophobia that they were feeling and had some very tense moments when you didn't know what was going to happen. It had emotional scenes where I actually shed a tear and some where I had to cover my eyes. All in all the movie was great for that type of movie and superb acting from Jude Law.

Horrible Bosses 2 - 8/10. I had only recently seen the first Horrible Bosses movie because I wanted to see this one when I saw the trailer. This one was much better than the first one and usually I never say that about movies but this one was great. The movie is about the three men starting their own bussiness together as friends with the invention of the Shower Buddy. Their idea then gets stolen by a wealthy business man Bert(Christoph Waltz) so they decide to get the  business/money back that they lost by kidnapping Bets son Rex.  I love all of the actors and felt they suited the parts they played perfectly. Jennifer Aniston looked stunning as usual as did Jason Batemen. I feel the three men (Jason Batemen, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) work incredibly well together and the jokes were very up to date and really funny. I was laughing throughout especially as they made references to the first movie and looked into the camera a few times. I would highly recommend this movie it was crude and funny. I loved it.

Dumb & Dumber 2 - 7/10. I loved the first movie when it first came out and am a big fan of Jim Carey so this was a must see when I heard a second one was going to be released. I have to admit it was quite funny but quite childish. Some of the jokes were predictable and they were all the same as the firs movie. None the less it was still funny. This movie is about Harry (Jeff Daniels) needing a new kidney so he needs somebody with the same blood type. He then finds out he has an 18 year old daughter from a fling many years ago. He goes on a road trip with Lloyd (Jim Carey) to find her and ask her for her kidney.

Exodus - 9/10. I usually never go for these types of movies due to the time frame it is set in I usually find them very boring and all the same. However this movie was the best I had seen this month and would recommend it to everybody! A fantastic performance from Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton. They both suited the parts very well. The movie is about an Egyptian Prince called Moses (Christian Bale) and Ramses (Joel Edgerton) they are the closest of friends until a prophecy says something that causes trouble between the men. Ramses then becomes Pharaoh and Moses must stop him as he is causing a lot of death and suffering. Moses finds out he is actually Hebrew and not of the royal heritage. Him and his men come together to fight against Ramses. The movie is great and the effects are 10x better. I love that it is biblical and you cannot take your eyes away from the screen. A must watch!!
