Movie Review: Morgan (2016)

Newest Review is LIVE!!!!!! Oh boy what do I say about this one?

Hello All,

    So, I apologize for the lack of Thursday night reviews, but there were no Thursday night showings at my regular theatre. I ended up taking Friday as a personal day so all I did was stream (Link down below hint hint hint.) So I ended up seeing Morgan this morning at the time of writing this, so the question is was the wait worth it? Let’s find out together shall we?

Plot Summary - Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) is a risk assessment manager sent into a lab to investigate an incident involving a mysterious creature by the name of Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy), and to determine whether or not the program must come to an end.

Pros - The director of the film is Luke Scott, son of Ridley Scott, and for his first directed film he does do a pretty good job with the material given to him. The pacing is good, the cinematography is great, and it’s a really well made film.

Cons - The story itself is not great, as I was able to figure out the twists after almost half way through. The problem is is that the characters are all one dimensional, the dialogue is awful, and the actual plot itself doesn’t really do anything interesting with the concept.

Final Score - 3/10

If you’re looking for a technically sound film and not much else, then this is the movie for you.

Next: The Light Between Oceans - I was going to do this sooner than later, but……

I've had an idea recently, and it involves the first suggestion in the Suggestion Box (link down below hint hint hint) which is the fourth transformers movie. Now for anyone who follows me on twitter (link down below you get the idea) you may have recently seen that I live tweeted when I watched the 1959 version of Ben Hur. After getting some decent feedback for it, I’ve decided to elevate this idea to the next level with my suggestion box submissions. What does that entail? Well, when I get the kinks worked out, I’ll post the results with the review of the movie and you can see for yourselves.

Links:

Last Review is Here: The last movie I watched was actually really good. You can read that here.

Twitter Account is Here: You’ll get notices when the reviews are live as soon as I post them, plus any trailers, movie news, or updates on when I stream on Twitch. I’m always looking for new followers, and with more followers means more ways for you guys to contribute.

NEW!!! Suggestion Box is Here: Are you sick of gaps in my posts? Why not suggest a film or film series for me to watch? Suggestions will be completed in order received, and if you’d like to leave your name for a suggestion credit and anything you’d like me to promote (within reason) I’d be happy to do that too. This suggestion box will be a permanent fixture of the blog, as again I’d love any and all help you guys want to offer.

Twitch Channel is Here: I’ll admit, I don’t quite have a regular streaming schedule worked out, but if you follow either the Twitter account or the channel directly you will be notified whenever I go live.

Until next time, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
