“Cop Out” movie reviews (Watch “Cop Out” movie trailer)

Cop Out – new movie starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan

I just finished watching the “Cop Out” movie trailer and I must say I am definitely looking forward to seeing it. When I first heard that Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan were going to be in the same movie, I thought it was just a fib. I mean, the two are from totally different planets – one from what I like to call the “high life” and the other originates from an “I’m-too-sexy-for-my-gun” world afar. But it’s true; Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis are both starring in this new “Cop Out” comedy flick. And it looks like it’s going to be worth the $9 bucks I’d have to spend to see it in theaters, despite all the negative movie reviews I’ve been reading up on.

To my surprise, there’s actually a very attractive connection between the two. Tracy Morgan is the kind of person that’s naturally funny; he almost doesn’t even need to try. Bruce Willis, on the other hand, is funny in his ever-stern ways. He can keep a straight face on and show no kinds emotions and he’ll still get a laugh out of you. I also love how they threw Seann William Scott in the movie; I think it changes the feel of the movie a bit. I love comedy, and this definitely looks like an 8 out of a 10.

Cop Out Movie Reviews

Critics from Rotten Tomatoes are not so thrilled about the new movie, Cop Out. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times said, “Many of the gags possibly looked good on paper, but watching Willis and Morgan struggle with them is like watching third graders do Noel Coward, if Noel Coward had been rewritten by Kevin Smith.” Ouch! Top critic Bill Goodykoontz, on the other hand, gave Cop Out somewhat of a decent review: “A movie that makes little sense, is dumb when it’s not being stupid and yet is still at times laugh-out-loud funny.”

It really all comes down to what you view as funny. Some will like it, while others won’t. Nonetheless, I will still see the new “Cop Out” movie in theaters in spite of all the negative reviews from critics.

Negative reviews from critics did not affect the opening weekend sales for “Twilight Saga: New Moon.” As a matter of fact, the new movie has conquered the number 3 spot for the highest, all-time opening weekend sales. “The Dark Knight” and “Spider-Man 3″ are the only movies that made more opening weekend sales at the U.S. box office. Even better, “New Moon” broke the all-time record for most advance tickets sold.

Twilight Reviews

Many critics bashed “Twilight Saga: New Moon” for many reasons. Rotten Tomatoes, for instance, described the film as “toothless,” “the second bite was stale,” and “if the first installment… was a celebration of teen sulkiness, this film positively drowns in it.” Only 30% of Rotten Tomatoes’ critics actually enjoyed the film. Daily Mail, in the UK, says “New Moon” is “Tedious, long-winded and not so much undead as almost entirely devoid of life.” Film critic Roger Ebert said, “…sitting through this experience is like driving a pickup in low gear through a sullen sea of Brylcreem.” Ouch!

Personal ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Review

Who really cares what critics have to say, right? I mean, they are critics after all. They will always find something negative to say, no matter how good it is. Then again, they do bring out a good point.

The hubby and I went to see the movie over the weekend and I must say I felt a bit antsy towards the end of movie. There was a lot of glaring (literally) and so little action. It almost felt like a never-ending story. Of course, the endless scene of exotic guys running the woods with no shirt on was definitely a treat, especially for the ladies. It was definitely a wise move on their part. I’m sure a lot of people went to see this movie just to catch a glimpse of a shirtless Taylor Lautner or the devilishly red lips of Robert Pattinson, best known as Edward Cullen on Twilight. Overall, I thought the movie was alright. ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ wasn’t the best vampire/werewolf movie, but it’s definitely another movie I’ll add to my home collection.
