Movie Reviews of Formula 51

Movie Review: Elmo's In The House!
Summary: 4 Stars

Not bad. This ultra-violent and ultra-profane action comedy does provide quite a good dose of laughs, thrills and golf. I was shocked when this film was yanked from the local theaters after only one week of playing; so when I saw it on the shelf at the video store, I grabbed it as quickly as I could. I was quite pleased with the result. The film plays out much like a Guy Ritchie-Quentin Tarantino crime caper with the music and editing of a John Woo Hong Kong superaction film. Highly entertaining and much better than I ever expected. Although the witty dialogue helps beef up the shoddy plot lines, it's Jackson's presence that gives this film its credibility. Samuel L. Jackson is, and continues to be, one of the greatest actors in our generation...and its because he carries movies like this one. You gotta love a movie where Jackson's character is one part Mace Windu, one part Jules Winfield and one part Tiger Woods.

Movie Review: Not a waste of time at least
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie was good to start out, muddled in the middle, and a small recovery at the end. Samuel Jackson does well, Robert Carlyle is awesome, and Emily Mortimer is great. Where this movie fails is in the complete lack of backup characters. Meatloaf is terrible, but not nearly as bad as others that go unmentioned here. The file has some great visual scenes, a good musical score, and decent dialogue. The movie succeeds at balancing humor and action. One just wishes a little more effort was put forth by all participants.

Movie Review: heh
Summary: 4 Stars

I doubt many people will agree with me, but if you don't expect anything glorious and cathartic from this movie, it is really great. I loved the unbelievably random humor, where things would be going smoothly and suddenly "what the hell?" Rhys Ifans stole every scene in his immediate vicinity, and Robert Carlyle (sp) was awesome as well. Meatloaf was quite effectively gross.

Movie Review: Not your typical slj film
Summary: 4 Stars

OK, so this is not a typical slj (samuel l jackson) movie. This movie mixes a drug dealer, a pharmacist (slj), a hit woman, and a man out for revenge (meatloaf) and you have formual 51. Funny at times, strange at times, and pretty damn cool at times, it a decent ride and moves very quickly and takes you along. Remove brain, insert fun. Im just sayin.....

Movie Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is a great one. I saw it because my friends said they liked it. I thought it was funny. I recommend anyone who likes to have a good time with a movie to see this one.
