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.

Complete failure of all main and supporting characters.

Fail of Mina Kunis’ acting.

Comments:

Fail of intro.

Too much plot happening too quickly.

This could have been a good movie split up with backstory as memories.

While the plot is unbelievable, that’s not the main problem. Main problem is the characters. Characters are too unique with events moving too fast.

Fail of all royalty scenes throughout.

Rebuilding just like that? Beyond suspension of disbelief.

Fail of memory ability scenes.

Complete fail of writing. Oh dear god.

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 almost $200 million proves that god does NOT exist.

Plot: A man wants to sexually dominate his partner.

Story: Relationships

Characters: Fail

Fail of all characters

Acting: Fail

Fail of Jamie Dornan's acting. Wrong actor for the role.

Comments:

Fail of intro.

All the liberal women that like to be dominated sexually, raise your hand. Fifty Shades is loved by liberal women who want to be dominated by their sexual partner and by conservative men who want to dominate their sexual partner.

Is My Wife, a Feminist, Testing Me When She Asks to Be Dominated in Bed?

I'm a feminist who enjoys being dominated during sex. Help!

Study: Up to 60 percent of women fantasize about 'being dominated'

There are even cracked out liberals who believe that its submissive nature represents empowerment.

Why the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Trilogy Is an Ode to the Idea of Consent

Fail of office scene.

Fail of home scene.

So he's a stalker now. But he's rich, White and good-looking so it doesn't count. Gotcha.

Fail of store scene.

Fail of bar scene.

Ah…men who can't talk to a woman without being drunk. P*ssies.

So...she's an adult but young and powerless and he's a rich CEO. I don't think that MeToo movement would call that real consent because of the power dynamics.

Power Dynamics in Sexual Relationships, BDSM consent

What's Wrong With Sex Between Professors and Students? Power dynamics

Men confused about consent MeToo movement

Ah…the domination room. This movie is made for f*cked up liberal women.

When he wants her to consent…that's similar to the sex branding cult self-help guru and the women who helped procure sex slaves for him.

NXIVM Branding Was Scripted by Sex Cult Leader to Be 'Like a Sacrifice'

The Most Disturbing Details From the NXIVM Sex-Cult Case

Former 'Smallville' actress Allison Mack reports to prison early to begin 3-year prison sentence

Most scenes too unbelievable. Suspension of disbelief kicked in.

Good sex scenes throughout.

Contracts for sexual activities. Really? You think that will hold up in court?

Fail of dominance scenes. That's f*cked up.

Good music content throughout though.

Who needs porn when you have Fifty Shades.

Fail of climax scene.

Fail of ending.

Not one of the worst movies of all time, but very disturbing. The fact that this movie is an Epic Commercial Success proves that God does NOT exist….and that liberal women secretly long for a man to dominate them sexually…even though they won’t really admit that to men. Is it patriarchal conditioning? Or perhaps it’s just the natural state of all women deep down, beyond all the layers of political correctness. A mystery.

Fail of ballroom scene.

Grandma exercise scene would have been funny if the caterpillar and Sandler were puzzled.

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 $200 million proves that God does NOT exist.

Fail of climax scene.

Pictures of them on the walls. You could have done flashbacks.

Fail of ending.

This is one of the worst movies of all time. This movie shouldn't have made $1.00. The fact that it made almost $900 million proves that god does NOT exist.

Comments:

Fail of intro.

A blast of energy in mid air. Jokes.

Clone soldier actions too unbelievable. Doesn’t make sense.

Oh wait, it’s not a clone soldier. Doesn’t make sense, even with the passage of time. But even as an individual, he would have been weeded out as a soldier.

Fail of all rebellion soldier scenes throughout. Character doesn’t make sense. The fact that the entire movie is dependent on this plot device is highly problematic. Fail of writing.

Droid comedy scenes are good, but not enough to pass.

Fail of escape scene. Too unbelievable.

Doesn't make sense that military guy in charge is snippy with Ren.

A giant sith lord? Oh dear. Analogous to Illuminati reptilians in the so-called 4th dimension.

Nice special effects, but not enough to pass.

While the girl scenes are good, everything else is too unbelievable.

A good deal of nostalgia with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher actress is not enough to pass.

Fail of idiot pirate traders scene.

Fail of all confused Ren scenes throughout.

Fail of Nazi-like speech scene.

One shot? Too unbelievable.

Soldiers turn away when he’s angry. Jokes. Reminds me of the guards in 300: Rise of an Empire (2014).

"Witches are an ancient race." Oh dear god. I thought that races didn't exist.

11 ways race isn't real, social construct

Biologically Speaking, Race Doesn't Exist, social construct

France removes race from constitution, social construct race

If you're going to claim that race doesn't "biologically exist," then you have to claim that transgenderism doesn't biologically exist. You can't claim one, then ignore the other. That's bad philosophy/disingenuous arguments.

Fail of all handler/witch hunter scenes throughout.

Fail of almost all FBI scenes throughout.

"Only the most qualified for the FBI." What a joke. Does that include the people who protected the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Nasser.

Justice Dept. Finds 'Poor Judgment' but No Misconduct in 2006 Jeffrey Epstein Inquiry

DOJ Concludes Probe Into Epstein's Shady Plea Deal, Lets Acosta Off the Hook

Congress: U.S. Olympic Committee, FBI failed to protect athletes from Larry Nassar's abuse

Justice Department Investigating Why Larry Nassar Was Not Prosecuted By FBI

The FBI protects pedophiles that are part of the Deep State, and prosecutes those that aren't sanctioned. It's not rocket science. If I was an American, I'd never trust/contact the FBI. If someone was trying to blackmail me, I'll call the police and my lawyer.

I'd like to see that type of robbery in real life. See how well that works. A few bullets in their shoots and they go splat. Next great idea.

Impressive air theft/money scene.

Fail of all characters. Too stupid and unbelievable.

All these candidates and only he knows the truth because of his background. Sigh.

The scenes are too predictable.

Fail of briefing scene. I could have done a better briefing than that.

"I thought I could save you." Get the f*ck outta here.

Americans love seeing themselves as the hero of every military invasion. Conspiracy theorist see America as the last bastion of freedom. It’s not. It was created by the Deep State/global special interest groups and serves their purpose. It's time for the American Empire to just die already and let something else rise in their ashes.

No troops disciplined in U.S. strike killing Afghan civilians

A movie justifying American invasions fills the American heart with something beyond love. It's powerfully disturbing.

There's only so much you can do with chess vs. real life. Of course, governments see it as “if it can strategize on the board so well, that means he can do it in real life and show his/our superiority.” Yah…no. Life is not a fixed board game with rules.

But it is based on a true story so...

Quitting chess. Great we can all get back to our real lives.

Fail of most scenes. Fail of writing and directing.

White House involved in chess. Really? That's just sad, but understandable in terms of why and the ideology of superiority in strategy.

Tobey Maguire wasn't the right actor for this role. But to be fair, it’s a very dry biographical movie.

And yet…billions still follow the Catholic Church today. They’re all enablers who turn a blind eye to rampant systemic pedophilia. Why? Because the prize of eternal life outweighs the morals and ethics on the Earth. Convince people in a made-up heaven and they’ll do anything to get there (be it Muslim, Christian or Catholic).
