Dragons, Holmes, Avatar

I have watched many movies in my life. I would like to share with you my thoughts on some great ones I have watched fairly recently. NOTICE: I WILL NOT REVEAL ANYTHING THAT WILL RUIN THE MOVIE FOR YOU IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THEM YET. If you want to read a summary of the movie or watch the trailer, click on the movie titles. “How To Train Your Dragon” is a great movie. It has an interesting plot and has many characteristics that make up all great movies. I did wonder why all the adults had one accent and all the children had a different one. Another item of question that bothered me was the dragons. I thought that the dragons in the movie were too much like household pets in nature. They were very playful and ornery, which added a cute side to them, but they were not realistic in that sense. You all may not have noticed, but it bothered me. “Sherlock Holmes” is a fantastic movie. The plot was very well planned and the music was great as well. In reading the Sherlock Holmes short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I never imagined Holmes quite as he was portrayed in this movie, though I enjoyed his character still. Because I have read many of Doyle’s short stories, I was able to see many connections between the movie and the stories. “Avatar” is a superb movie. I agree with my older brother that the plot is not original, but I love it anyways. I love the music that James Horner wrote for this movie. It fits beautifully with what happens in the movie and the tribal feeling within the movie. The Na’vi and their culture were both wonderfully designed and portrayed in this film. I would love to hear your thoughts on movies. Please do comment. Look Out for my Next Post, Benjamin Hudson
