Hollywood Movie Review Series:

*Movies are in no particular order. Please use Crtl F on your keyboard to find a particular movie. Movies that got a wide release in the year after their first screening are listed in the next year. For example, 300 (2006) is listed in 2007 because it only got a wide release in 2007.

*Don't worry about spoilers. You can read the review of any movie without being afraid of spoilers and enjoy the movie if you watch it. I intentionally made sure not to ruin a movie by revealing a hidden plot or hidden climax scene. I simply pass or fail each scene and comment on them.

Comments:

Excellent intro.

In 4 minutes the audience cares for the dad. Well done.

I honestly thought this would be a boring movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

Overcoming his past means that he either forgave White people “in Jesus name,” or he ignored his past and pretended that it didn’t matter. Either way, that’s not how you move forward.

Good interview scene, but sad in a bad way. No tolerance for politics means that you don’t mind White people creating policies to suppress Black people. That’s a problem. But toxic conditioning program created by White people.

Decent White House scenes throughout.

Knowing how to serve shows obedience to White people. That’s it. It’s highly valued by White people. But the role itself is demeaning. Thinking that it’s not is only due to toxic conditioning.

Another Sin City imitation. Sigh.

This movie wouldn't have been made without star power.

Excellent diversity casting overall.

Different police officers need specific weapons license for different states? That's news to me.

Nice to see an Asian actor as a cop, but did the writer have to make him so weak?

Fail of music content.

Fail of almost every scene, and the dialogue. Oh dear god.

Fail of climax scene.

Fail of voice over throughout.

Fail of ending.

Killing everyone. Really?

Fail of climax scene.

Fail of ending.

One of the worst movies of all time. This movie shouldn't have made $1.00. The fact that it made over $30 million proves that God does NOT exist.

Almost as if the movie was made just so male celebrities could get laid. Sometimes, pretend sex on-camera turns into real sex off-camera. Either before or after shooting.

Fail of plane scene.

Ah yes, only the Christian god (that condemned practically all inferior races including Black people) can save the marriage. Sigh. And liberals wonder why people tune out for Black issues.

This was one of the scriptures Christians used to justify slavery. It’s pretty clear cut. 1st Peter 2:18 New King James Version. “Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.”
