We all have movies that tend to either rub us the wrong way or sent a message that just didn’t sit well with you after you left the theater. I, myself, had this happen very few times since I appreciate movies as they are. Although there where some instances that this has happened and I decided “why not share what I’ve experienced? better yet! I’ll rate them, too!” so yeah.. her goes!
Warning: spoilers!
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: 2
Dead Man’s Chest
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big pirate fan (arrrgh) it just deeply disappointed me on so many levels. First off, JACK GETS EATEN!!! *sobs* second, Will Turner seemed to get… soft. Third, the ending made me want to attack the movie projector. (I’m not that big of a fan of cliffhangers). And fourth……JACK GETS EATEN!!! *sobs and sniffles* though to be honest, I’d still go see it over and over again just because it’s so darn pretty to look at..

4. Dragonwars
Hard to go wrong with dragons right? eehh… I think it’s possible. The story is simple as it is. guy mets girl, guy falls for girl, guy finds out girl is the only way to save earth from demon dragon, guy has to sacrifice girl to save the world, girl accends to heaven, and guy walks the shadow realm for all eternity. um.. well… that pretty much explains most of the movie. The CGI for the dragons was kick-butt and the characters looked decent enough. Though the acting was as lacking as a high school play.
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Ya know, it kinda hurts me that I had to put not only one Johnny Depp film on her, BUT TWO?! I’m so going to have fangirls flooding my email address with hate mail tonight. Anyways I should probably explain why I put this on the list. Let me go ahead and admit that in honestly, i still love the old version, and this did come out when all the movie industry was doing was releasing remakes of old films, which made me already sour to the idea. I have to admit that casting Johnny Depp was ingenious. I really doubt anyone else could have played the role and give it the ol’ Willy Wonka feel. Most importantly I’m glad Tim Burton directed it. he did a gorgious job on making everything look so dreamy. What I do have to complain about is… the Oompa Loompas! they where all the same guy! where’s the originality! Oompa Loompas are suppose to be a race of people, not a series of clones! And I might have a faulty memory but I don’t remember them mentioning the snausberries or the everlasting gobbstoppers. Those are my favorite parts! bah, whatever. Like I said, the movie isn’t bad, just… disappointed me… 
2. Happy Feet
If you think about it, penguins aren’t really the most happiest creatures. I mean.. they live where a warm day involves snow not falling from the sky for once. The only way they can get food is to dive under water, that is freezing, and hope they don’t get eaten themselves. and to top things off, they can’t fly! wow. mother nature has a sick sence of humor. Expecially to these birds. Happy Feet, the unusual penguin, goes on a life long quest to prove himself to the other penguins. hm.. this story sounds familiar. Oh I know, it’s from every “these animals can all talk” kids move EVER! anyways that’s not why this is on the list. it’s one of the reasons, but not why it is. the reason I was so disappointed was the scene where Happy Feet was captured and put into the zoo. Yeah, it’s comforting to the kids to know that their penguin friend is slowly loosing his sanity. I honestly thought the movie was going to end right there, and if it did, I swear that would have been the saddest move dream studios has ever made. period. Luckily it didn’t and they replaced it with a cliche’d ending. though honestly, if it did end with the zoo ending that would have been an original ending. atleast in my opinion anyways.
1. March of the Penguins
Once again, more proof that penguins are the saddest creatures ever. I know it’s suppose to be a documentary and it’s not suppose to be exciting, but my god. I dosed off 3 or 4 times while I was in the theater. and between the times I was actually awake I either saw a penguin die of frost, one penguin puking in another penguin’s mouth, or penguins doing… PG13 stuff… anyways, I’m positive that Morgan Freeman is laughing his butt off as he puts his new diamond collar on his cat fifi, paid for by his royalties from ticket admission from March of the Penguins. What makes me even more curious is all the kids from the commercials who said “this was the best movie ever! we love March of the Penguins!” what movie did they watch now?! they must be confusing it with Happy Feet or Surf’s Up or something! I could easily sum up the documentary in less that 3 hours. ready? okay. *ahem*
“Being a penguin sucks. you’re born (hopefully) you eat (hopefully) and you die from either the cold, exaustion, being eaten alive, or possibly all three. Oh, and you have babies, and if they live, they get to do the whole thing all over again! (maybe)”
I’ve heard that the crew who shot this is even making a sequel to this about polar bears. my god! I’m almost scared to death to see this one
“as you can see her the mother polar bear has sacrificed her own body to feed her cubs”
If I keep watching, I swear I might become emo for the poor critters of the North Pole.
Welp, that’s my review, feel free to comment. Lizzie, over and out.
