Texas Chainsaw 3d Review
Review Introduction Movie director John Luessenhop completely missed the memo when it came to the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Originally going into a scary movie you would expect loud screams, gory scenery, and an ‘at the edge of your seat’ feeling but this one is not like that. The new sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre has nothing to offer in comparison to the original work done by Tobe Hooper. John Luessenhop’s adaptations failed from the original. The word ‘massacre’ was even removed from the title. Texas Chainsaw 3D starts off where the original movie ended. They begin by showing how much hatred the towns people had for the Sawyer family and their cannibalistic (leatherface) family member. Concluding their rage the towns’ people burned the Sawyer home with all of them in it. It was believed that the disasters had stopped and they were all heroes until the main character, Heather, came long. To her surprise and those of the towns’ people she was a long lost Sawyer. John Luessenhop thought he would remake this movie to be compared if not better than the original but the three dimensional effects, thrills, and suspense made this movie a waste of $15.00 for all of those who watched it in theaters. The 2012-2013 movie lists were very broad when it came to 3D films. It was a huge discouragement watching Texas Chainsaw 3D because it lacked the three dimensional effects itself. Critic Joe Neumaier from Daily News commented, “The only thing that jumps out during “Texas Chainsaw 3D” is a few shots of the titular portable mechanical tool, though the technology here makes “Jaws 3-D” look like “Avatar.” Joe instantly displays a lack of interest for the movie’s technological input. As I would agree, having paid $15.00 for a three dimensional movie I would expect a bit more than just 2-4 pop outs of the chainsaw throughout the whole 92 minutes of the film. Sadly, that wasn’t the only failure throughout this movie. Texas Chainsaw 3D is a failed remake on

    In the ‘60s version, the residents of Maple Street were probably once good friends. Then fear took over their minds, which lead to them attacking, and even killing, one another. In the 2003 remake, the people were rather collected and one big group. Then when the thought of terrorism was raised, people sought a scapegoat, which ended up with them destroying a house, and probably killing the family inside. The true monsters on Maple Street, were in fact,…

    Why settle for just one dimension when you can have three? While the popularity of 3-D movies was written off by many to be just a craze of the 1950s, it seems to be poised to make a major comeback in the 21st century. DreamWorks Animation's Jeffery Katzenberg proclaims that 3-D movies have, "the opportunity to be the most important innovation in film since the use of color in motion pictures." Predictions are that 12 to 18 feature films will be produced in 3-D by 2010. DreamWorks will begin releasing all of its movies in 3-D starting in 2009. And while those corny glasses are still required to appreciate all of the amazing new digital technology that goes into the films, they appear to be more sleek and stylish than the earlier cardboard versions.…

    Most of us, probably watched at least one of the movies from the Rush Hour trilogy. These movies are hilarious and include lots of action scenes. You will laugh during this movie until your abs hurt and tears come out of your eyes. If you liked the first two parts, you will probably like the third one too. The main characters in this movie are Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker). The Chinese Ambassador is attacked and Lee is supposed to protect him. At this point Carter comes to help him. They should find out who are people who want to kill the Ambassador and should protect his family. After being a long time away from each, they must co-operate and become friends again. The good parts of Rush Hour 3 are the entertaining and funny scenes, the action and fights. But on the other hand the plot of the film doesn’t leave a good impression on its auditorium.…
