Pacific Rim, The Conjuring, The Wolverine

Pacific Rim

 
I went into Pacific Rim with no expectations at all.  The story was really basic, the effects were rather impressive though.  I think this movie is a great way to sell toys, and I'm sure I would have loved it if I was an 8 year old boy.  The truth is, this movie isn't horrible.  I had a decent time watching it.  

I think if they were to make a Power Ranger movie, they could do a really good job, because Pacific Rim showed us the potential of a Power Ranger Zord.
 
6.5/10 

The Conjuring

 
I am a Hard Core, Horror Junkie movie fanatic.  The Conjuring is your basic haunting/exorcism film story-wise.  However the Conjuring really succeeds with its acting, scares, and directing.  The guy who directed this movie, directed Saw, and Insidious, so he has a really good track record at being a legit Horror director.  Let me just say that this movie is ridiculously scary.  I mean if you live alone, you might want to have someone stay over with you.  The fact that its based on a true story, just makes it better.  This is a must see for a horror fan, and along with This is the End, a must see Summer movie. 
 
10/10

The Wolverine

What can I say, 20th Century Fox, has no idea what to do with the X-Men.  God forbid they ever pick up an X-Men comic book.  Once again Hugh Jackman does everything he can to try and make the character of Wolverine work, but once again the writers screw him over.  I found this movie boring.  I found the inconsistencies of the characters antamantium, healing factor, and memory, to have way to many holes.  Not the worst that I've seen this summer, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone either.  Best part of the movie, was the after credit scene...  So just youtube that in a couple of months and skip the movie.
