Back to the Shire
on June 15, 2013
Posted by: HowHumorous
I enjoyed this film a lot but the one thing that just kept it from achieving the greatness of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was the tone. Unexpected Journey's tone is significantly more lighthearted than the previous entries in Middle-earth. Yes, I realize that Tolkien wrote the Hobbit as a children's book but even he went back with revisions to make it fit better with the Lord of the Rings. Anyway, I'm nitpicking here. The bluray offers unparalleled picture and sound along with near two hours of behind the scenes material (also available on Peter jackson's youtube as of June 2013). This is a bluray for the hobbit in us all.

Middle-earth in a box
on June 15, 2013

I'll keep this short because chances are you're already a fan of these movies and you don't need any further validation of why they're so good. However, on the off chance that you're on the fence about this set let me assure you that there is not a better collection out there. Aside from the forty hours of behind the scenes material this set features fantastic film transfers for all three films, lightyears ahead of past releases.

Spiderman
on June 15, 2013
Posted by: HowHumorous
ASide from minor plot details this is the same story as the Sam Raimi Spiderman, but that's not what keeps this film from greatness. The problem is Peter Parker himself. Now, Andrew Garfield is fine actor but Peter comes off as being very unlikable and at times downright selfish. For example: whereas in the first Spiderman trilogy Peter became Spiderman to honor his Uncle's last words to him in this version he does it out of revenge. At least that's the impression that I had. Still, I have high hopes that the sequel will see Peter grow into the Spider-man we know, now that the groundwork has been laid.

Not much more than meets the eye
on June 14, 2013
Posted by: HowHumorous
This film's script went into production during the writer's strike and it shows. You don't have to try hard to see the numerous plot holes that the film throws at you on a scene by scene basis. I won't even get started on the film's 'sense of humor' which insulted my intelligence in more ways than I'd care to admit. I highly suggest skipping this trainwreck in Michael Bay's Transformers saga.

Snow White gets gritty
on June 14, 2013

Very enjoyable, best to watch with a group of friends. Plenty of memorable visuals, not to mention ridiculous moments of overacting from the villains.
What's great about it: This is one of the best looking blurays I own.
