There are some scenes on the asteroid that still look awesome, and I really enjoyed it. In fact, upon looking into it, it was the sound and visual effects that won an Academy Award. The story is for sure not following any decent science, but it is entertaining.

However, having watched it, even comparing to my memory of the book, it doesn't hold up well. If I ever got a chance to talk to Orson Scott Card and whoever owns the film rights, I would want to redo it with a miniseries that combines both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow books.

If there was ever a female Jason Bourne movie at the moment, it would be this. Close quarters combat, good ole “who is the real spy,” and tradecraft with the KGB makes this an invigorating spy movie with lots of drama. Also Charlize's outfits are spectacular.
Movies
This movie was not what I expected. I honestly had no idea what it was about and had no real intention of watching it, but my father-in-law put it on while they were visiting. The story is where I just get angry. There are so many plot holes for a "true story" that it makes no sense.
Movies
Its been a while since I have watched this movie and it holds up decently. The overall story is built on old Intelligence theory that Russia was building sleeper agents that were going to infiltrate the US. Think Black Widow with Scarlett Johansson.
Movies
Just like the previous movie, I watched the extended version of this movie. I think this one has very scenes that extend and help the movie as compared to the last one, but for the readers I am sure these scenes are very important.
Movies
Typically I do not like the initial movie of a know series, but this one was so well done. I mean it should be with 3.5 hours for the original and 4 hours for the extended version. This is a CLASSIC.

I enjoyed this movie. It did take me the longest to get through. It might be a conditioned response from the times of trying to marathon these movies and just crashing at the end of the night, but I never wanted to start the last hour of this movie.
Movies
The Ring of Power is found and throws the world into chaos once again after centuries of relative peace from the forces of evil. The Fellowship ebbs and wanes against those forces as they work to get Sam and Frodo to Mt. Doom to destroy the ring.
Movies
This movie is weirdly entertaining. It is so over the top that you kinda forget that you are being forced into this political movie. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal do a great job at playing their parts.
Movies
What an underrated, below the radar movie. It has done well enough to have a tv show named the same, which is what caused me to watch this movie to see if I wanted to see the TV show. I've seen this movie before and even years later still feel that it is a drag to get through.
Movies
This movie should not have gotten the hatred that it got. It does a great job of adding to the story from the Assassin's Creed games. There is no sense of fear or why other than an ancient myth. It is like the story about a McDonalds and Taco Bell employees fighting each other.
