Epic Failure



LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!

 

Here's a movie that I thought was going to be a really good movie.  This movie got so much talk, one friend even told she went to go see it and thought it was a good movie.  Today's topic......

MAGIC MIKE.

 

      I'm not one to just go out and buy any old movie, so I got a copy from someone.  Shame shame right, I know.  Anyway, so I made sure the kid wasn't going to be home before I watched it.  With a great line up for the actors, I was thinking this was going to be good.  Man was I wrong.  However, I decided that I would give it a second look by watching an original copy.  So after watching this movie twice now, I'm more convinced than ever that my first thoughts were the right choice.

 

      With Matthew McConaughey as Dallas, Channing Tatum as Magic Mike, Alex Pettyfer as Adam a.k.a The Kid, Joe Manganiello as Big Dick Rick, Matthew Bomer as Ken, Kevin Nash as Tarzan, and Adam Rodriguez as Tito.  Don't get me wrong, if I ever wanted to go see some male strippers, I would want them to dance as good as they did in this movie.  However, this movie was not these actors best.  Let's be honest here folks, McConaughey is better at Drama and Romance with a twist of comedy.  Tatum, although he was in his element, is better with dancing based Drama, Romance, and Action.  Unfortunately for Manganiello, I've only seen him in True Blood.  I would love to see more of him, in other movies if I may add, but for now that's all I know.  The acting in this movie was bad.  The movie seemed low budget and rushed.  There's word of a part two coming out, I hope they do better.  Make it look like a movie and some school project.  Take your time with it next time and don't make it look like you just shot this from your basement.

 

      This movie gets a 1 1/2 star rating.  the 1/2 is for the dancing.  Til next time folks.....
