Maze Runner: The Death Cure

I saw Maze Runner: The Death Cure recently, and for the final film in this trilogy I thought it was a great end to a really fun series. Most people liked the first, but really disliked the second movie; I on the other hand really liked both films. I thought they had a lot of cool action, and the stories were very interesting. The Death Cure isn't any different except it wraps up everything.

Now I'm not saying there aren't better action movies, but I still think if you liked the series so far, or at least the first movie, you can find a lot of enjoyment with this film. Acting wise everyone does a great job, but Dylan O'Brien definitely steals the show. He got hurt while filming, but he recovered and finished a solid movie. I first saw him on the show Teen Wolf, and he played one of my favorite characters. You may not like all his movies, but the one thing he definitely does is he puts everything he has into each role. I can't wait for him to do a really good movie, especially action, which everyone will be like wow. Until then I like a lot of what he is doing including this trilogy.

I rambled there, but overall I think Death Cure is a really fun end to a really fun series. I say you should definitely go see this movie if you liked either of the previous films because it ends it very well.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

I saw Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle a couple of weeks ago, and I had so much fun with this film. Compared to the original Jumanji they both have their good points, but you just can't beat Robin Williams.

This time around instead of the game coming into our world the high school kids are sucked into the game; we kind of see what Alan Parrish went through in the first film. I liked all the acting by the avatars that are chosen, but by far Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black were hilarious! They made me laugh so much, and made the film so much better than what it could've been.

The effects are definitely better this time around, but that isn't anything mind blowing this day and age. I highly recommend this film even if you didn't like the first because it is different enough that I think everyone can have a great time with this movie. I would say this really isn't for kids though because they make some really crude jokes that are funny, but a little kid will not understand. I will say they got the rating correct on this one.

Other than that I think everyone should see this at some point because it enhances the original while also telling its own story. In the end, I think Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is well worth your money, and I think you will have an awesome time.

Jumanji

I saw the first Jumanji again a couple weeks ago, and this film is just pure fun with Robin Williams right in his prime. The film, for the younger people out there who haven't seen it, is about a board game that comes to life right into your living room.

When Alan Parrish finds a game he and his friend Sarah decide to play it; they have no idea what they have done. In one move Alan gets sucked into the game to never be heard from again. Years later, Judy and Peter find this fateful game, and pick up where Alan and Sarah left off. Now the four of them have to finish the game before it finishes them.

Robin Williams is awesome as always, and you get to see an early Kirsten Dunst who does a good job as well. Now for a movie made in the '90s some of the effects are good, but some aren't that great. If you can get past some of those effects I think most people can have a really fun time with this classic.

I do have to say this movie is definitely more PG-13 than its rating of PG. I would be careful how young your kids are when showing this because there are some scary moments in here. Other than that I think everyone should see this as soon as you can. Jumanji is definitely a movie everyone can have a lot of fun with.
