Five Disagreements With Rotten Tomatoes

When it comes to movies it seem's everyone's a critic, am i right? Well let's have a look at five movies that I 100% disagree with the critics via Rotten Tomatoes.

1) Gravity-RT 97% 

Okay, let me start by saying a few positives, the visual effects were stunning, directing was well done (Cuaron won Academy Award for Best Director) I guess you can say the acting was good being about 4 characters. George Clooney, and Sandra Bullock are the two leads and for the short time Clooney is in it he's his usual sarcastic perfect acting self and Bullock is a class act actress. The part I have a problem with is the plot, I thought it was basically Cast Away in space, but not as good. In my opinion it was an average film and I'm happy to say it was $3 movie night at school and it didn't cost me full price. 

Magnum Review 6.8/10

2) American Gangster-RT 80%

American Gangster is about the story of Frank Lucas(Denzel Washington), who comes into power after his boss a prominent Harlem gangster dies. Lucas smuggles heroin into America using military planes during the Vietnam War. It's until an overdose of "Blue Magic" (the name of the heroin Lucas pushes) catches the attention of New Jersey Detective Richie Roberts(Russell Crowe) who does all he can to see that justice is served. Other cast members include, Cuba Gooding Jr, Idris Elba, Josh Brolin, Carla Gugino, and TI. In my opinion this movie has a star studded cast that fit perfectly together, and a plot that is riveting, and drama filled. Ridley Scott directs/ A film where Denzel and Crowe play off each other as enemies in a most perfect way, which leaves the audience not sure who to root for.  

Magnum Review 9.0/10

3) Pain & Gain-RT 50% 

Are they kidding me? Like yeah I get this movie is no Best Picture nominee but a 50 c'mon! I know Michael Bay is known for what the critics consider below average films Armageddon being one which I personally think is better than what critics make it out to be. Anyways back to Pain & Gain, Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Ed Harris star in a sarcastic, funny, true story about a few juice heads looking to scam people and make it rich...they almost succeed just almost. Also in my opinion The Rocks best performance. I think this film deserves more credit then it gets. See it.

Magnum Review 8.0/10

4) Flight-RT 78%
Yeah I know what you're thinking another movie with Denzel Washington in it but I can justify it don't worry. Flight is a very powerful film, that shows people the true power of addiction and how it can control a person life and how it really takes everything you have to overcome it. After a plane crash that led to a few casualties, Captain Whitaker (Washington) an alcoholic is being put on trial by the National Transportation Safety Board(NTSB) for alcohol, drug, and manslaughter charges. Alongside Denzel in this film is Don Cheadle, John Goodman, and Kelly Reilly.  

Magnum Review 8.8/10

5) A Bronx Tale-RT 96%
I know I'm probably going to get some heat for this one, but give me a chance. De Niros directorial debut is by no means a flop, the film is well directed, well casted and the plot is strong. The main problem I have with is not really the film as a whole but that Rotten Tomatoes gives it the same rating as Goodfellas, In my opinion A Bronx Tale cant hold a candle to Goodfellas, but like I said I know I'm probably going to get some heat for this critique. Ill leave it at this A Bronx Tale, good...not great.

Magnum Review 7.8/10

I Once Ate a Superbad Pineapple, Girl Said My Semen Tasted Horrible

One of the most debated questions is which is better, Superbad or Pineapple Express. Both of these films are piss your pants funny, have memorable moments and are very quotable.  Both are made from the same group of people, so there are plenty of jokes that make you look like a full fledged retard when your laughing.  I am a huge fan of both movies, I really am, but in my opinion, one of the movies reigns supreme... and thats Pineapple Express.  I'm going to explain why Pineapple takes a shit on Superbad's chest for comedy supremacy.

VS.

Like I said above, I'm a fan of both and I'm not dissing Superbad. If Pineapple Express is #1, Superbad is #1A.  What gets me going though is when people say that Superbad is better.  They're basically spewing shit out of their pieholes.  One of the reasons behind my theory is because I can never see myself in a situation like the guys of Pineapple Express were in.  It was hysterical how Ted Jones sent his goons Matheson and Budlofsky after the dynamic duo of stoners in Dale and Saul.  It was a huge series of unfortunate events for Mr. Denton, and thats why its funny.  Superbad was something I could see myself getting into during high school (minus some of the problems they went through) with the struggle of getting alcohol to be drunk off my ass by 11pm in our friends basements like a bunch of prepubescent little shitheads.

I'm also a bigger fan of the plot in Pineapple Express.  I mean the whole point of Superbad is getting alcohol for a party at a girl's house to try and impress them and it goes through their trials and tribulations of getting there.  For the record, after seeing the movie I wanted to try Goldshlick Vodka and Kyle's Killer Lemonade  (Tommyboy actually thought that existed, what a fucking moron).  Emma Stone wasn't what she is today, she was maybe a 5?, and thats being generous.

In Pineapple, Ted Jones and his rouge african cop lady friend plug some asain guy right in the head and his brains spew all over Ted Jones's window like a container of Lo Main.  They than notice Dale who is a process server, sitting outside the house frantically drive away out of fear and the movie is about Ted finding and neutralizing the witness.  I'm not gonna give the whole plot away because if you haven't seen it, its a must before you die.

Here is one of my favorite scenes from Superbad.
Fogal (or McLovin) just has dead meat written all over him. It was basically a suicide mission.  Kind of reminds me of this kid.  Although I do admire his attempt at seeming of age by dropping the "Been drinking this stuff for years" line.  Hey, at least he gave it the old college try.

And here is one of my many favorite Pineapple scenes.  The whole dialog between his high school girlfriend's father and him is hysterical.  Dale really thought on his head with that fake name too, Garagely was absolutely genius.









I can literally go on and on talking about these movies but it would just give everything away, and were not in that business, were in the reviewing and getting wasted business.  So if you've haven't seen either one of these movies, do so, and if you've seen both you already have your opinion on which one is better.  I respect everyones opinion (just kidding, if you think Superbad is better, go walk on some legos barefooted you Lemming).  Now if you excuse me, I'm going to enjoy a nice plate of couscous, the food so nice, they named it twice, while fucking Jewels.
