How many tomatoes does Wumpan give for these movies?

I have 100 tomatoes to give for each movie I watch. No, tomatoes are fresh and NOT ROTTEN. Some movies are old and some are new. I give out tomatoes based on my biased yet honest opinion. Let me know if you agree/disagree!

American Sniper 58 tomatoes
Dir: Clint Eastwood Star: Bradley Cooper
The story itself is intriguing. But the movie dragged. The wife was annoying. Although I didn't know the story before seeing this movie, I saw the ending coming. Since the movie is not suspense, it may be ok for the ending to be predictable, but I definitely took my last few slurps of my soda and got my things together 10 minutes before the movie ended. Bradley Cooper didn't even look like him. He was huge. I mean, he was huge. The Hulk huge. 

Captain America ~Winter Soldier~ 64 tomatoes
Dir: Anthony Russo Star: Chris Evans
Captain America is one of my favorite superheroes, but this movie was a bit disappointing. They made the story more complicated than necessary. Since they tie some characters (and their movies) to Avengers, there seemed to be many loose ends. I mean, the city was in total chaos. Where is Iron Man? Why is Black Widow the only one available? What happened to Hawkeye? Nick Fury's first mate/assistant looked so different from the Avengers movie, I didn't even recognize her and was wondering who she was until almost toward the end of the movie. Chris Evans' voice always gets me though. I don't know what it is or why it is but it's just yum. He will always be my Captain America!


Whiplash 75 tomatoes
Dir: Damien Chazelle Star: Miles Teller
I watched this movie only because Dr. Skoda from Law & Order is in it. I love Dr. Skoda!! His character in this movie is so different from the cool and calm psychiatrist that I know from L&O. My god, the mouth on him!! I thought the ending was a bit overworked, yet ended abruptly. I had to hold myself from giving a few more tomatoes only because no one cute was in this movie. I know it's a stupid reason, but hey, I am no critic and they are MY tomatoes. I can do whatever I want with them!!

Foxcatcher 48 tomatoes
Dir: Bennett Miller Star:Steve Carrell
Make up is a wow. Steve Carrell didn't even look like him. Channing Tatum looked a bit different, but he was still smoking hot. The movie dragged and the only reason I watched it until the end is purely because my man was in it. So, that should say a lot about this movie. I kind of lost Channing Tatum's character-how he became to despise Steve Carrell. This could either be because my brain shut down and my eyes just enjoyed watching his body, or the movie failed to portrait the characters well. 

Iron Man 68 tomatoes
Dir: Jon Favreau Star: Robert Downey Jr.
Iron Man is my second least favorite superhero in Avengers. I so was not interested in watching this movie, but 2 days of being snowed in can do strange things to you. It wasn't as bad I thought it was going to be. Although I HATE when superheroes get a girl, I was actually waiting for him to be with Pepper. (By the way, what a stupid name, Pepper! Glad she isn't a doctor.)






The Final Destination (4th one) 10 tomatoes

Dir: Davi...who cares Star: Really, who cares
Though this sequel doesn't have the actual number, this one is the equivalent of the fourth one, I believe. The only thing that is going for this movie was, that it was short. I know you can't go too far with the idea of "fate of death", but I like all the first 3 sequels. I feel like people who made this movie were just checked out. "Hey, no one is expecting a good movie out of us, so let's just have a bunch of crappy scenes with crappy effects and throw some racial profanities around." I will be watching the 5th one this week, but I hope it won't be as bad...or at least it'll be shorter than this pile of crap.



Let's Be Cops 70 tomatoes

Dir: Luke Greenfield Star: Jake Johnson
So who is this Jake Johnson guy? Is he the less popular version of Jessica Biel? He was a guy in a TV show and one day, busts out in movies? I enjoyed this movie though some jokes were tacky and mysterious. And even though I wish to tell you some of the funny parts of the movie, I can't remember any of them. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing though. For me, at least, comedies should be light, tacky, haha funny and forgettable. I was simply entertained for a couple of hours. I don't expect more from comedies. The silliest joke was, though, that Damon Wayans was a game maker who is a push over loser with a 6 pack body. I know, really.

The Haunting in Connecticut 78 tomatoes
Dir: Peter Cornwell Star: Kyle Gallner
The star's mother is Virginia Madsen, a.k.a Cassandra-Frasier's ex girlfriend. Why did they cast her? So she broke up with Frasier and married this guy, then had a couple of kids, and experience some paranormal events? I was so hung up on Frasier, I couldn't focus on the movie. Therefore, I totally missed the important part of the movie-is the kid from the past good or bad after all? And the priest looked like the old version of Elliot Stabler from L&O SVU. I always do this. I get so caught up on the casts and what they look like, sometimes I can't concentrate on the movie. In general though, I like horror movies about haunting/ghosts much more than serial killers.

22 Jump Street 10 tomatoes
Dir: Phil Lord Star: Channing Tatum
How many more of these terrible movies will Channing Tatum play in? He is lucky he is so damn hot. When it comes to bad movies with no story line and no purpose, this movie takes the whole freaking bakery. "What the hell was that?" is exactly what I said when the movie ended. Every single second of this movie was so bad, I don't have any other way to tell you it was bad, other than telling that it was bad. Even if you like Channing Tatum and just want to watch him and don't care about the quality of the movie, I still wouldn't recommend it. Do me and yourself a favor. Watch White House Down instead. He is still so hot and the movie sucks a little less.
