My Thoughts
I didn't mind the Original American grudge version so I was interested to see this film and how it play out 16 years later. I can say this film was pretty bad and I recommend for no one to see this even horror fans,. This film being rated R gave me hope that there would at least be some really good gore kills but even those fell flat. The plot was mediocre and boring the acting was passable but nothing spectacular by anyone involved. I will not spend any more time talking about this film. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 18% saying "Dull and derivative, the rebooted Grudge wastes a talented cast and filmmaker on watered-down scares that may leave viewers nursing grievances of their own". I agree this film is forgettable and I urge anyone thinking of seeing this film to pass.

The third film to review is one I have been looking forward to "Bad Boys for life".
Runtime:124 Minutes
Post Credit-None
Plot-"The Bad Boys Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are back together for one last ride in the highly anticipated Bad Boys for Life".
Starring-Will Smith, Martin Lawrence and Vanessa Hudgens
My Thoughts
I was a fan of the original Bad Boys not so much of Bad Boys II I was eagerly looking forward tot he long anticipated third film in the franchise and I can say it was worth the wait. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith still have that great Connection and were just as funny playing off each other, the plot of the film flowed well and kept me engaged throughout. The ending does setup a forth film which I would gladly welcome. I don't have to much to say about this film, it was really enjoyable and a great action film,. that I highly recommenced. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 77% saying "Loaded up with action and a double helping of leading-man charisma, Bad Boys for Life reinvigorates this long-dormant franchise by playing squarely to its strengths". I agree the film brigns back the feeling of the original Bad boys

I highly recommend this film for fans of action or the bad boys franchise, it was very entertaining. 8.2/10!!

My Thoughts
I will spend no time on this film, it was terrible and continues a trend of bad movies I have reviewed to star the year. there was nothing redeeming about this movie. the plot seemed somewhat interesting from the trailer but after seeing the film I ca ntell anyone that is not the case here. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 13% saying "Stylish but muddled, this misbegotten adaptation of Henry James' classic novel will send horror-hungry viewers Turning to the source material instead". I cannot reccomend anyoen tosee this movie, its a complete pass.
Rating
Nothing redeeming here, complete pass 4.0/10!!
The fifth and last film to review this month is "Gretel & Hansel".
Runtime:87 Minutes
Post Credit-None
Plot-"A long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside, a young girl leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil".
Starring-Sophia Lillis, Alice Krige and Jessica De Gouw
My Thoughts
I had high hopes for this film, and boy was I wrong, a disturbing trend of bad movies continues. This film was slow and tedious and boring literally nothing of note happens for the first hour of the movie. and when things do pick up the payoff is not satisfying at all. The acting was decent which was the highlight of the film other than that everything else is forgettable. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 61% saying "Gretel & Hansel's rich visuals satisfy, even if this adaptation of a classic fairytale gets a little lost in the woods on the storytelling front". The visuals did nothing for me but to each their own.
Rating
Decent acting cannot save an otherwise terrible movie 4.5/10!!
