Everything GREAT About San Andreas! 

Extra win for some of the boats doing a u-turn when they see the wave.

I'm just gonna bring up, one of my favorite moments of this film....despite that there are so many. But, the scene when the older couple are part of an evacuation cue. And they turn, to see the incoming Tsunami...and rather than try to flee...they see the futility of it, and they chose to instead embrace each other....and chose to die together.

People seem to dismiss this movie as just another disaster movie when it's really much more than that. Love this movie, and had no idea it was getting a sequel!

People are constantly surprised by Dwayne Johnson's range because "he's just a professional wrestler". What they keep forgetting is that he was never *just* a wrestler. He was the most popular and charismatic professional wrestler in a generation. He always had the talent to be a good actor.

Everything GREAT About CinemaWins

I live on the San Andreas fault an hour north of San Francisco. This movie scared the absolute crap out of me. We used to take field trips as a kid to a fence line that broke in the 1906 quake and one end sits almost a football field away from it connected to the rest of it because the earth shifted, monthly earth quake drills, I'll never forget the 1989 Loma Preita when the Bay Bridge had collapsed sections that killed people. (my husband was in Candlestick at the World Series and his Uncle was hit with a chunk of concrete). It's drilled into us here that it's not an if, it's a when. The only thing I take solace in is there's no fear of impending doom like a tornado or a hurricane. You're just bopping about and BAM! I'm also next to the Geysers so we have daily smaller quakes 3-4 on the Richter Scale. So, for me this movie was quite believable and I always thought well done. Plus we were super excited to have The Rock sightings 😃

at 7:44 the gun the flannel dude has pointed at the rocks head is a 1911, which is a single action only pistol, meaning the hammer has to be back in order for the gun to fire, which it isn't. so the rock wasn't in any real danger.

Another movie that I think does the “cliché dodge checklist” is _Garfield Gets Real_ (2007). It seems to avoid most things people don’t like about big-budget movie adaptations, especially the live-action Garfield films. For example, there’s no product placement, no dated pop songs, no all-star cast, no forced character break-ups, no cringy fart jokes, etc.

*I didn't think this would have been possible...but CinemaWins is always a win*

*Side Note* In a video where I make fun of how I used to sound monotonous and unenthused, (I wrote the script in end of June) I sound a little…melancholy...at best. Apologies for that. It's not something I really noticed until it was too late to re-record. I swear I'm doing alright and plan to be back to my chipper self next week. Thank you all for your kind words on last weeks video and the encouragement to take some time off. For me, work is a good distraction. Especially trying to find the positive in something when everything around us feels like the opposite.

So I have a bit of a story. There is an F150 Platinum in San Andreas for a little bit. The part where he drives up to the big crack in the earth. They filmed most of the movie on the gold coast in Queensland Australia and as a result there were cars left over from the shoot that you could buy. A company called SCD supplied the American cars for the movie and i buy my cars from them too. They knew i was after a 4x4 to tow my boat and called me about the f150. I ended up buying that car and having it converted to right hand drive so i could drive it on the roads here in Australia. So The Rock and Carla Gugino have sat in one of my cars and it was used in a huge Hollywood movie. Not really an exciting story but still pretty cool.

I watched this movie in my History class and when Ray was saving his daughter, my whole class were cheering and yelling at the screen, even my teacher joined in-

Now EGA The Equalizer Since it’s out on Friday

3:00 That "move" actually happened in real life on at least one occasion caught on camera: A woman and her kid were coming down an escalator in China. The bottom panel (that covers the machinery) broke, the woman fell through and died in the gears but she tossed her kid to safety as she was falling. Coincidentally, why I get angry anytime someone is mocked for being scared of escalators. Having the steps stop moving is not the only way those things can break.

"You'd have to stretch pretty far to fill the Rock's shoes" I had to watch that again because I almost missed the Reed Richards joke. Original Fantastic Four win!

So, this movie has one of my favorite moments (actually several of them) in any movie ever. It's during the tsunami scene. For me, I know as I watch the scene that the water being pulled out, as The Rock says, is a tsunami. I know it's going to be huge because this is a movie. And I know from general knowledge that the thing to do is head straight for it and try to make the top before it crests, all stuff they go over in the movie. So it's exciting as I see The Rock doing exactly what I know he should do, and it's intense because I know that even doing everything right is still crazy dangerous, and it wouldn't be the first time they crashed today if something went wrong. And then, the moment. That long, wide shot facing into the bay, coming over the edge of the wave, and you see that it's not just the two main characters doing this. Dozens of boats, ships, ferries, everything that can float is loaded with people and sailing head first into the wave. That sense of a sudden realization that "holy heck, all those other boats are full of people with their own stories and lives on the line" makes everything suddenly, powerfully, terrifyingly real. Not just for the characters, but now for the whole city. We see our characters riding up the face of the wave, we see some boats turning away from the wave, which we understand because it's just so terrifying, even though we know it's a bad move. We see the boat beside them trying desperately to make it over the wave, but losing its grip in the water and flipping over, and it's sad because we know that boat's driver got this far in their own version of this movie. As soon as our characters are out of immediate danger, there's no celebration, no smile and laugh as movie tropes would go. There's just a look of horror, and a montage of other characters in their own movies having a bad ending. An elderly couple sharing their last moment, a police officer doing her best to help people in a hopeless situation, Daniel, still stumbling around the city in a state of shock after several near-death experiences, and countless others. Even afterwards, when The Rock and I forget her name are taking their boat through the flooded streets, you can see other boats roaming the streets in the background, pulling people out of the water. Just regular people doing what they can in what's left. I find it an incredibly powerful scene in an absolutely spectacular movie. It reminds me of a similar scene in a much less spectacular and more disappointing movie: Geostorm. During the.. I think it was Hong Kong scene, where the satellites superheat the ground and cause all the gas pipes to explode. In that, the movie forgets about every other person in the scene, and even seems to forget about the disaster happening, instead focusing the camera almost exclusively on this character that we don't even have any reason to care about, and his stupid little car narrowly escaping explosions and debris. There's a moment like the boat that flipped over in San Andreas, where a Hummer escapes a building as it collapses, and it's trying to get away the same as this character we're following, but his car is too slow and it's blocking the Hummer from driving faster. And then it gets crushed by a building. And all I feel after this character escapes the carnage that we barely see, is sad for that guy in the Hummer, because this stupid little car got him killed. That character only existed on screen a few seconds, but the danger and the stakes for him were a lot higher because he didn't need to survive so the plot could go on, and so when he's killed, in what feels like a joking jab at how silly those huge American vehicles are, it's literally the only thing that I cared about in the entire movie. Well, that and all the people on the beach in Rio save for the girl that the camera followed. I really wanted Geostorm to be good, but it just wasn't. It tried hard to make me care about characters by focusing every disaster scene and sequence on a character running away from it, but all I wanted was to see the disaster happening. There's tornadoes everywhere, and the movie thinks I want to be looking at this dog instead. I like Gerard Butler, too. Olympus has Fallen and London has Fallen are both in my top 10 movies, along with San Andreas. Geostorm just didn't work for me. I'm hoping Greenland will do a better job when I get to see that.

With the amount of movies yoy have done with the rock it's like your on a Rampage.

Everything Great About: Unbreakable Split Lord of the Rings (Trilogy) If you get requests and the chance

I love the chemistry 🧪 between Ben and Blake, a relationship that developed well without feeling forced.

This was a terrific entry to your library. I like that you redid this video. I love this movie. It does turn so many tropes on their heads. The very greatest thing about this movie, though, has to be that a young boy who watched this film over and over saved his drowning little brother's life. He did CPR on the toddler (?) and remembered from the movie that you never give up. He never gave up, and he brought his brother back. W hen The Rock found out what a hero this kid was he brought him to the set of his current movie and treated him like a king. That's the best thing about this film. I'm not crying, you're crying,

Please do EGA The Accountant

Can you do iron giant?

"when you consider where he started" Dude, Wrestling is basically just a play. He was always considered one of the greatest talkers in the business and showed pretty decent range even during his time as a wrestler. If anybody in wrestling history was ever going to make it as far as he did, it was him.

What a movie!!! I generally enjoyed the movie!! the action was entertaining, the acting was on point for the most point, the soundtrack just hits the mark just when its needed, and feels soooo realistic!!! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson def makes this movie!! Every scene he is in is just the best!! all in all... a generally enjoyable movie!!

Holy crap!!!! You’re doing The Equalizer!!!!! Next week

Hello, I’ve been watching your channel for so long and I’m a huge fan and there’s one thing I’ve always wanted you to do. Please do Everything Great About Ice Age.

It's always fun to go back and redo your old work when you've had some experience and have a better grasp of what you're doing. Thanks so much for sticking with this channel, it's so worth it!

I would actually add a win to the religious scene, as this scene recognizes the idea of hope in a refugee camp, which you don't see a lot of. While there are multiple people who miss their relatives, friends, or whoever they lost in the earthquake, specific individuals do find hope. And speaking from a religious point of view, I actually love that scene because not only does it represent the unification of a community with the same ideal beliefs, but also for a hope of a future knowing in which who they're praying to, they know He'll be in complete control of any given situation. So good job on that scene, movie.

Do Everything Great About John Carter please. It's really underrated. I loved it though. Didn't deserve to bomb. Feel really bad for Andrew Stanton and Taylor Kitsch. Could've been the start of an awesome trilogy based of Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series. Anyone agree?

Alexandra Daddario swimming underwater in a tank top - Ding.

Can you please do everything great about rise of the guardians plz

I love this channel, I loved it from the episode I ever saw, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. -Sincerely, a long time fan.

You should do the John Wick movies AKA the movies that made everyone remember Keanu Reeves CAN act.

god i am SO happy you're doing the equalizer next, as it's one of my favorite films. i love seeing people finding the good in films, rather than the bad. thank you for the work you do, and i'm looking forward to your future reviews!

Everything great about The Godfather. DO IT

I love that you are doing legitimately average movies. Makes me hopeful for that "Everything Great About League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" :P

Brad Peyton is originally from my hometown, so seeing him and his movie getting praise like this oddly makes me feel really proud.

Been here since the beginning and gotta day it’s so interesting seeing how your commentating grows and evolves into something genuinely fantastic. Can’t wait for the videos yet to come, and I really hope your wife and Baby Jude are doing well, mate.

Everything Great about Monty Python. Doesn't matter which one, although all would be preferable

9:50 fun fact I actually asked my grandma is this the proper way to get over a wave and she is a navigator expert she actually taught navigator school for the power squadron and she said yes this is the correct way you want to get over the crest before the wave actually physically forms to avoid being capsized

Since this is a movie you went back to I want to express my appreciation for your channel. I usually watch it about movies I have seen but didn't like to get a new and different appreciation for them. So thank you for the way you enrich my movies

Yay! Loved this movie, especially in theaters, and I’m glad we got an updated video for it!

I love this movie so much. I never saw your original but I'm so happy you did a second one

This is the only Channel i have notifications on for. Every single video is worth watching. Even if you don't like the film. Because the chances are you'll start to thing of things in a different way. I feel like this channel is exudes positive vibes. Just an all round happy time :)

I think you have my favorite film channel on youtube, in a pit of bad reviewers who hate any movie who is not independent or a masterpiece, you always find the best of everything and make me appreciate the movies I watch. I love you so much, I watch you from Argentina.

ARROW FOR THE WIN (Cue to my pic tho *ding* +1 win for Emma's good jokes)

Everything Great About The Greatest Showman please.

We are your audience mate. You’ve earned it with your continued hard work and passion for what you do. Watching these videos feels like watching a movie with a friend who loves them as much as I do, and that’s a hell of a feat to pull off. Well done.

So happy! Was bummed when I couldn't find this video anymore but thank the lord it's back. And better than ever! This film's a lot better then some think! From the direction in the character dynamics to the way action is captured with sense for scale and long camera shots and the unexpected sense of adventure as the city is turned into a scrap metal landscape, I ended up loving this movie a ton. And of course how they subvert cliche as much as they can. I put it up there with Towering Inferno and Independence Day as one of my favorite disaster films.

Love the video. Haven't seen it all yet but your videos have a greatness guarantee. I would love it if you did how to train your Dragon 2 soon. It is my favorite franchise ever. You seemed to like the first one, so I'm sure you will like this one.

Hey I hope things get better for you and your family. I'm just going to do one suggestion ( I don't want to sound needy cause I can wait) How to Train Your Dragon 2 please.

Your videos are my favorite. Please don't stop anytime soon. Thank you!

This video was really well done. You took a movie I really thought was subpar and showed me...everything great about it.

Please we are all waiting for the lord of the rings trilogy

How is your wife’s friends family doing so far? I’m hoping they’re doing well so far

Thank you for doing the movie again! I just discovered your channel last week and did not see the original video.

I cannot wait to hear what you say about "The Equalizer." Hands down one of my favorite movies. And I do have a little beef with you...I tend to watch or re-watch every movie you do a win about. Okay maybe not beef, but a thank you. These videos shed positive light that I look forward to noticing a second time around.

Ooh this is gonna be good! I enjoyed the movie when I saw it.

Can you do chicken little next? I watched it recently and was surprised by the maturity and the appeal to adults

I'm happy you now feel you have your faithful viewers! Keep doing what you enjoy!

Im so glad you made this. It was amazing and hillarious

More Arrow fans! This is why I stay for the host, he references Parks and Rec, The Office, Arrow

You should do one of the early and lesser known DTRJ movies, like Walking Tall or The Rundown. I really liked those as a kid/teen and it would be cool to review them now, seeing how far he's come... or has he always been awesome? Only one way to find out.

I actually saw the original the say it was posted. Amazing you've been at this for 2 years. Keep it up!!

A thing I really liked about the movie was how Blake, Ben, and Ollie got the parents attention. Ollie used a light pointer he got from the store where they found the landline phone and at first I didn't even notice that. When I watched the movie a couple of other times I noticed Ollie's light pointer and when I saw the scene in where they use it to get Blake's parents to notice them, it was really cool.

Everything Great about Chronicle! Also EGA Infinity War but it's painfully obvious that you are gonna do it even without your fans telling you to do so.

Everything great about The Last Jedi

Did not see this video before, loved it this time around, and I hope you have a lovely day.

13:00 -- Really touched that you cite Paul Giamatti as head and shoulders above the rest. He IS. He ALWAYS is. That, more than anything, proves your perception as a great movie reviewer.

We must protect these videos!

Everything GREAT About Murder on the Orient Express

Not gonna lie, happy to see you being tough and sticking to what you love. That shows that you're really strong. On behalf of all of your fans, thanks. Also, due to personal experience, work is a good distraction. But I bet your's is better. Mine didn't have anything to do with finding positive stuff in movies. And I love finding the good in stuff and I also love movies. My work was just high school work and high school finials. Hated it. But what can I do? I want to graduate and go on to college, so I don't end up a failure in life. Anyways, thank you for being strong and sticking to what you love, but if you ever need a break, take it. And not even soon because of you know what, but just in general. I can only imagine how hard this is. So, once again, thank you. You're the best.

Another good video! Always appreciate how you break down your thoughts at the end.

I’ve got swollen cheeks and tooth pain in the back of my mouth and this is the only thing making me happy know.

Now do everything great about Rampage (2018)

Hey, I watched this movie today because of you! I really loved it! Thanks!

This was so freakin' good!!! This is why you are one of the best youtubers out there!!!! There's this one movie that I absolutely HATE call "Why Him?" and I would like to see you find something good about it.

Welcome to *SAN ANDREAS* I'm CJ from Grove Street Land of the hainus, Gangbanging and cold heat In Los Santos neighbors get no sleep Competin' with everybody EVEN PO-LICE

I do think the movie was generic..but does that really matter? It was the Rock doing cool things in a disaster setting. Didn't expect much more than that and enjoyed it well enough. It wasn't great and the movie was a bit blunt about bad people having bad things happen to them as karmic justice, but it wasn't a bad movie. A big CGI disaster spectacle. Nothing special, but fun in its own way.

i love your videos. here's to next week's video!!

That scene where the old couple doesn't even run from the wave they just hold each other until their last moment always gets me

The Accountant next week?

I went to see this with my reluctant dad and after the first 10 minutes he was in tears for some reason. He claims it was due to him being hungover, but I don’t buy it.

I was wondering why you reuploaded this video. I can't believe it's been so long. I started watching you're videos when you had around 100k subs and it actually makes me proud that you're now already at 900k. Keep it up!

CinemaWins you are awesome and I love your videos! It’s really nice and refreshing to watch a channel about loving movies and finding the joy in everything! I wish you had new content everyday. But seriously, if you do need to take some time off, do it. We shouldn’t stand in your way if you need to be with your family and friends. If we are, then I apologize on behalf of all of us. If you want to keep going, that’s cool too. I know I’ll support you and your channel in whatever you do. So just know you don’t need to worry about us fans if you decide take a break, we’ll be here when you get back.

Pls do an everything great about the greatest showman

Anyone remember that one episode of Star Trek Voyager when The Rock made a cameo appearance as a cage fighter?

Whenever i want to watch a movie but cant be bothered with it i just come to this channel. Thanks man xD

I have been watching this dude for more than an hour. I'm not stopping.

Do everything great about How to Train your Dragon 2!

Can you do everything great about the dark knight returns

I was super excited when I saw this upload. Recently I watched San Andreas twice in the same day so I wanted to watch the EGA video again. It had been my first Cinema Wins video so I was sad to not be able to find it. Thank you so much for making a new one. Also, please do Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It is a great movie. Rampage (also starring the Rock) was really good, too.

How was your holiday? i hope you had a great time! just throwing my weekly recommendation of La La Land in there. love your videos!

9:39 Was that you winning a continuity error?

I just want to take a moment to appreciate that despite what's happened to you in the last couple of weeks, you're *still giving us content.* Please everyone, give this guy a like on this video. Also, we're here for you dude :)

Another great video! I actually got to work with Carla Gugino on a new pilot for a show she's starring in/producing, and I'm happy to say she's incredibly sweet and polite, and just as hardworking as you'd expect. I'm just a lowly grip but she treated me with as much respect as anyone on set.

Dude good job on 800k You’ve earned it
