Does M.J. Bassett have a talent of being a garbage director? Because my god Rogue shows more of it, if you don’t know who Bassett is she is the director behind Silent Hill Revelations. Anyway Rogue has one good thing about it…and that’s Megan Fox who definitely tries her hardest with this movie, otherwise this movie is a complete and utter trainwreck. The writing is bottom of the barrel, for whatever reason some of the characters start singing “Everybody” by The Backstreet Boys and it’s not even a one time joke they do this FOUR TIMES! If it were just a one off joke maybe I could understand but four times really shows the writers had no idea what they were doing. The CGI Lions are terrible, they feel like something straight out of a SyFy channel movie. The characters are given absolutely no character development their personalities come down to their race or looks, which that in itself is pretty problematic. This really shows the writers had no ideas, no inspiration and just did not give a crap about this movie at the slightest. When a character’s personality only comes down to their race it shows the writers have no idea how to build a character and just don’t have any creative ideas. It shows that they only know how to make stereotypes and that’s it which if you ask me is embarrassing. As for the rest of the movie it’s just ugly to look at and the overall movie is not fun at the slightest and then suddenly at the end there is this “save the lions” message which is laughable because you just showed lions killing the characters and now you want to shove a message at the end of the movie? Overall Rogue is one of the worst things I’ve seen this year, if it weren’t for Megan Fox this would have easily gotten my lowest rating…avoid this one.

A pair of comic book writers begin to notice scary similarities between the character they created and horrific real-life events.
This is the type of movie where they definitely had the right idea but couldn’t make it interesting. The movie is definitely not all bad, the performances for the most part are fine enough, there’s some decent camerawork and the kills are actually pretty well done. The main setback is the writing, it really feels like they threw way too many ideas into this movie and forgot scrap a large portion of the filler. Plus there really isn’t anything noteworthy in this movie that makes it standout, it’s an okay movie if you are looking to kill some time. Otherwise it’s really not worth it.

An anarchic, hip-hop inspired comedy that follows four city boys on a wilderness trek as they try to escape a mysterious huntsman.
Yeah Get Duked really did not do it for me, I completely understand why one would enjoy this movie, heck I wouldn’t say it’s all bad. The performances are actually decent and there’s a few jokes in there that do hit. My major problem with this movie however is most of the humor, if you don’t find the humor funny you are not going to like this movie. A lot of it just really feels try hard at times and comes off as forced. The plot is very similar to The Hunt which came out earlier this year. But this movie does do it’s premise a bit better, my other main issue is the characters are just not likable at all. I really did not care for anyone in the movie at all…it’s a shame because I do feel like this could have been good if it was fixed up a bit.
