My Thoughts
With Comedy Films I only ask myself one question "Is the film funny" and the answer to that question for this film is Yes!!, I f you are a Kevin Hart fan you will thoroughly enjoy this film, Ice Cube was a good partner for him in the film they had good chemistry. Rottten Tomatoes gave the film a 17% and had this to say "Kevin Hart's livewire presence gives Ride Along a shot of necessary energy, but it isn't enough to rescue this would-be comedy from the buddy-cop doldrums". I agree for the most part Kevin Hart was really funny in this film, was the plot of the film not very good ? sure!, was the film cheesy in some parts sure, but overall for what it was I enjoyed it.
Rating
If you enjoy Kevin Hart and Comedy's you will enjoy this film 7.2/10!!!

My Thoughts
I am a big fan of the Frankenstein story and have seen many of the adaptations of the story over the years. When I first read about this film I was excited to see what Hollywood would come up with, when I first saw the trailer my interest piqued even more. After seeing the film I can see that I was satisfied, the film met my expectations for what I expected to see. I expected to see a good action film with good CG, a not so great but believable story and have good action sequences. I can say the film met all of those points to a satisfactory level. I had the accidental situation of seeing this film in IMAX 3D and I will say that the 3D and the size of the IMAX screen actually increased the pleasure of my viewing experience.I have to say the CG ion this film was really good some of the best I have seen in recent memory it really added a touch of "Flair" to the film with ow good the CG was (especially when the demons where killed) the colors really popped and and stood out to me. The story was not all that believable but it worked well with what the film was trying to accomplish, the only gripe I would have is that Hollywood once again had to tack on the obligatory "love" interest that almost every movie nowadays seems to always have.The fight scenes where really well done they looked very fluid and the choreography was really good, these were some of the better action/fight scenes I have seen in a action film in recent memory. The acting overall wasn't anything special but it wasn't the worst that I have seen either, for what I expected of the film the entire main cast did a passable job at that they needed to convey. Overall for me this film did exactly what I expected of it and satisfied m,y expectations Rotten Tomatoes had this to say about the film "Loud, incoherent, and dramatically listless, I, Frankenstein is a remarkably dull fantasy adventure that fails to generate much excitement or interest in its characters". I agree with their points but that is what I was expecting from the movie to have loud explosions, not make much sense, have characters who are jsut there with not muc h backstory (I will say the film was not dull). If you sety yyour expectations to twhat they need to be you weill enjoy this film.
