Ghost Rider
Aaron: This was an entertaining and imaginative movie with brilliant graphics. The villains were all well thought up and brought to life; however, the battle scenes were way too fast-paced. Pretty much, they had so many bad guys, a lot of introduction, and a plate full of story, but lacked the time to fit it all in to. Being a comic fan, this movie kept me entertained. What really yanked my chains during the movie were the people in front of us. They talked out loud, brought a two year old screaming child, and got up and down more than eight times. If you can't be respectful of others during a movie-DO NOT COME!!!
Priscilla: I thought Ghost Rider was exciting, but because of the people in front of us it was a little hard to follow because I couldn't hear any of the softer dialogs. The sound effects made this film thrilling to watch and I loved the animation. My favorite characters were the Demons because they were so artistic and unique. The shortness of the fight scenes didn't really bother me since I'm not huge on fighting. So, overall, I did enjoy the movie very much, but I think that I would have liked it better if we hadn't had noisy people in front of us.
Bridge to Terebithia
Priscilla: So, we had forgotten that we had read this book until we were halfway through the movie…this film was heartbreaking, but beautifully so. The characters are so diverse and rich that you fall in love with them. I was expecting more animation, but their world was pulled off perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend this film, but you may want to bring a handful of tissues.
Aaron: After watching the commercials, you'd expect the imaginary world to be prevalent in this movie, so that is what everyone came in wanting to see when, in actuality, it was only a small percent of the movie, and pretty much everything the commercials had already shown; people left fairly angry. Although I understand their frustration, the movie was still beautifully pulled off! The characters were amazing and the story moved along smoothly to the end, where it punched us with heart-twisting emotion and full-blown fantasy.
