Movie reviews of Jeffrey Rex Bertelsen

The Dark Knight is going to be a movie classic, not just a superhero movie classic... Review

One of the strongest superhero movie origin stories ever made. Review

Mortensen brings life to a well-rounded, earnest, and, at times, reasonable character. Review

Ellen Page was the star for me as the unpredictable Lu. Review

Aliens isn’t just one of the best action films of all-time, it’s also terrifying... Review

It doesn’t fix the mistakes of the graphic novel, and it doesn’t even work all that well when adapting the good iconic scenes. Review

One of the best Star Trek films I’ve ever seen. Review

A really, really good (and surprisingly short) horror film that should scare you, and have a lasting effect on you. Review

Overall, there are too many things I have problems with to call it a great film, but it is a very good action science fiction film. Review

While I’d probably ultimately call it a satire, I wasn’t always quite sure what the filmmakers were going for. Review

Shannon’s Rick is self-assured and so incredibly unlikable. It is one of Shannon’s best performances ever. Review

Contains picturesque locations and complete characters, and feels very real. Review

The jokes still work, and you can still have a great time with the film. Review

Terribly disappointing compared to the first film. Review

Not a very impressive film. Review

Well-directed, well-shot, and well-acted, and the film is assisted by a John Williams score that is distressing, haunting, and beautiful at the same time. Review

The dialogue is excellent. It is detailed, without being boring. Review

It is the best film Michael Bay has made since 1998’s Armageddon, and it is a solid film. Review

A Star Trek film that feels more like a Star Wars-film. Review

A bizarrely fascinating experience that, unfortunately, is really hard to recommend to people that don’t usually appreciate Nicolas Winding Refn’s films. Review

One of the worst blockbuster science-fiction sequels ever. Review

A safe, by-the-numbers dramedy... Review

An original buddy comedy, and it is great grown-up fun. Review

Terrifying, memorable, and rewatchable. Review
