Movie Criteria

The first movie I choose to talk about is the movie Hitch. It met my criteria because it has a great story. Also, when Will Smith has an allergic reaction to the fish, the way they made his ear and the rest of his face swollen was pretty good. Also, when they took it back to his old college days, the outfit they used when he was in college was pretty cool. Overall, I thought the movie was great because of the actors and the storyline.

The second movie I choose to write about is the movie G.I. Joe. It had a great storyline and everything. The special effects were amazing. The way they did the G.I. suits was great. The movie has so much action and overall it was just a great movie. Especially the whole story behind how the brother supposedly died in the bomb and then he turns out to be one of the bad guys.  So overall, I also think this was a great movie.
