    The second movie in the Percy Jackson franchise is quite entertaining. However, while I don't feel that this sequel is better than the original, I think that this film was fun to watch. I am rather upset that this movie series didn't go anywhere after the second installment. This was mostly due to mixed to negative reviews. On the other hand, I am rather happy that they are picking the Percy Jackson stories up and are ready to do a Television show on them. Because, after all, I really did like these two movies, and re watching the second one made me remember how good they were. While I haven't actually read the books, I've heard that some of the people who have are upset, because it was not completely faithful to the book. Honestly, I really don't understand that. To me, when they make a movie off of a book that I have read, I want it to be a little different. For example, you've already read the book, and loved it. You want more of what those stories have to offer, so you go to the movie. Yes, you expect most of the movie to incorporate scenes from the book, but do you really want to watch the exact same thing that you just read? I would prefer something slightly different, but that's just me. Overall, I think that the Percy Jackson movies are fun family friendly movies that are really enjoyable to watch.

    spider2001's movie review was featured in Oblivion.
    Oblivion. What a confusing film. This movie is incredibly interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very end. However, this is probably the most confusing movies I have ever seen. And yes, I've seen Inception. This movie takes your mind and completely turns it on it's side. That's how utterly confusing this film is. However, this is one of the most original science fiction movies that I have seen in a while. It stars Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, and Andrea Riseborough as Julia. On a Earth that now has very few people on it, Jack is in charge of drone maintenance. He, along with everyone else, can't remember anything before the "war," except for that they won. Jack, throughout the course of the movie, learns that things aren't quite as they appeared. I suggest that if you are a fan of movies that make you think, this is a good choice for you. Also, I forgot to mention. The visuals in this film are amazing. Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy) puts a nice spin on this incredible science fiction thriller. So in the end, I think you should give Oblivion a try.

    spider2001's movie review was featured in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
    "I am one with the force. The force is with me. I am one with the force. The force is with me." Just a quote from one of my favorite characters from "Rouge One." I really did enjoy this movie. I thought that it was a fun prequel to watch. The characters were interesting, the story was compelling, the music was phenomenal. And no, I did not forget. The special effects were the best thing about this movie. They just added to how great this movie was. Now, while I liked the movie, I did have a few problems with it. For example, I felt that it took a little too long to get set up. I was 45 minutes into the movie, and nothing really happened yet. However, as soon as the first fight sequence came, I was hooked. After that point, I was immersed into the world of Star Wars. While I enjoyed most of the characters in this film, there was one character that I was not a fan of. That was K2SO, the new droid character. While he did provide a few good lines, I felt that his character was really not that necessary, and a bit annoying. But that's just me. I know several people who loved this character. However, I didn't. Also, at the end of the movie, (SPOILER WARNING) most the main characters die. I felt that this movie had more of a sad tone then the rest of the Star Wars franchise. Okay, now that I've told my few complaints, I'm going to discuss an awesome element that was added to this film. DARTH VADER. At the end of this movie, Darth Vader had an epic scene that I'm not going to spoil for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet. But I'm just saying, it's great. So if you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you do. Because it's one heck of an epic ride.
