If you're a good girl tonight

I saw Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters last night with Molly and Wook Jin!  It was AMAZING-AWFUL.  It was this perfect mix of absurd and self-aware and just....just going for it.  Just owning the awful.  Anyway, here are some reaction comics!  SPOILERS!  (And man...there were SO many more jokes than this.  Funny stuff from Wook Jin and Molly that I didn't include.  I just could not fit them all in.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And then they did.

 

 Just, in general, such gratuitous violence in this movie.  Sometimes it was funny, usually it was gross.

The movie was actually really, really fun.  At a $3 theater with two friends who can appreciate a good bad movie, it was a perfectly wonderful time.

Show some mercy if you can

Unfortunately, this is how I experienced the whole movie.

Sorry, Jeff!
Making movies, making music~ :D

They really reminded me of the brofoes in Hark, a Vagrant #265.

I was kind of annoyed by all of these characters.

These times are changing and reshaping into something I can't face

I saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (in 2D, non-iMAX, and I-can't-remember-how-many-fps)!  Read on for SPOILER-filled reaction comics~

 

I started twitching in my seat after 2 hours, but the movie held my attention throughout.  I enjoyed revisiting the rich world of The Hobbit, and appreciated the time lavished on the sets and creatures.  The designs were incredible!  The diversity amongst the dwarves' designs, the shots of The Shire and Rivendell, the gobelins and orcs and trolls and stone giants...amazing!

 

Okay, I had one big issue and it was with the horrific staging during the chase scene where Radagast leads the Wargs/Orcs away from Team Gandalf.  What the hell was going on in that scene?  Back and forth and back and forth, it felt like Team Gandalf was stuck behind the same rock the whole time, even though it was suggested that they were moving.

Every hour has come to this

I watched Twilight: Breaking Dawn, part 2 last night! Read on for reaction comics. As always, SPOILERS!

So...I actually really, really liked what they did with that battle.  All of  the action and drama of a full-on fight, because you believe it's really happening, and then a conclusion where A) the "villain" or hate sink doesn't need to die*, B) the conflict is resolved through discourse, and C) everyone finds a way to coexist albeit a compromise.  THAT NEVER HAPPENS IN BLOCKBUSTERS YOU GUYS.
*I mean, I guess that Irina did play the hate sink and die....but I'm counting Aro as the main one and the rest of the Volturi as next in line.

You may have my number you can take my name but you'll never have my heart

I saw the new Bond film Skyfall last night! Here are some reaction comics I made before bed.  As always, SPOILERS!

*Incongruous

*Whoops, that's "Silva"...ha ha....British accents, you know...!

^My mom and I made this joke almost simultaneously.

So okay, it's fun to poke holes in movies, but in all seriousness I really enjoyed Skyfall and will be recommending it to my friends.  It's a good Bond film.  It's a good action film.  The glass door scene?  The opening shot?  The rat monologue?  The rooftop dirt biking?  The new Q?  The use of the backhoe loader?  The word association game?  Every single establishing shot in the film? *whistle*
I was a little underwhelmed by the plot and the not-so-deep reveals about James Bond's past because my friends had built it up a bit too much, but ah well.  He's an orphan.  He hid in a cellar once.  I would have loved more character development than that, but I should have reminded myself that I was going into a James Bond film and they need to save all the time they can for the shoot-outs and explosions.  That final act...don't even get me started.  The ice scene was cool, but I was falling asleep during the rest of the fire BOOM fire shouting BOOM stuff.
