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!
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 😃
I would never be able to live where you do, That sounds terrifying. I live in Ireland so we dont have any fault lines nearby us, but i recall a few years ago there was an earthquake nearby and it was so powerful it was felt in the North-West (Where i live) But i was asleep at the time hahaha, I would have freaked out if i felt it
*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.
CinemaWins I hope you feel better and even though I love all your videos and wish you made one every day if you need to take a break take one as long you need to feel 100% better
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.
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.
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.
Yah I was pretty chuffed. I like the rock and his movies so i thought it was pretty cool. I will say though they for sure used that car. Im having to replace pretty much all the bushings replaced as well as a CV joint. So they for sure smashed the shit out of it on the set lol
TheGuruStud ... not so... there are plenty of left-hand drive cars and trucks on our Aussie roads... there's no mandatory requirement for a conversion... anyone who says otherwise speaks with forked tongue...
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.
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.
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.
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!
"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!
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-
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!!
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,
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
"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.
You guys are the best!!! Keep up the great work!!! Please do: 1) The Circle 2) Frozen 3) The Lego Ninjago Movie 4) Independence day 2 5) Tropic Thunder 6) Arrival 7) Shrek 1,2,3,4 8) Murder on the Orient Express 9) The Princess Bride 10) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2!!!!!!
There is barely anything good with Frozen. If you are speaking about the Disney movie, that is. Maybe there's another movie called Frozen that is actually good.
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.

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.
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Yeah, even though it screwed up the Star Wars series a bit (or a lot, depending on what you hard-core fans think), I would really like to see CinemaWins point out all the good stuff in that movie.
8:51 That's actually a really smooth Double Entendre. They just landed in a literal second base (I guess, I don't know much about baseball) and there was a metaphorical second base. So, a win for you for keeping the win pg-13? Great job once again! I hope things get better soon!
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.
IF anyone really paid attention to the movie like Cinema win did you would have noticed that the movie was one giant warning film about what to do in case of a large earthquake where ever you are. As a person who has went through 5 major quakes including the last recent one making 6 for me -_-. I practically knew everything that movie was pointing out what to do in a Earthquake situation.
Colton Haynes is a great actor and I very much enjoy his work as both Jackson in Teen Wolf and Roy in Arrow. I genuinely don't think that I can choose which character I like better.
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.
It seems like when casting directors want to remake or revisit an old property, they call Dwayne Johnson. Race to Witch Mountain, Jumanji, and now Rampage. And the Skyscraper trailers remind me of Die Hard. I'm surprised he wasn't in the Goosebumps movie.
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
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.
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.
What? No real words about Andrew Lockington's amazing score?! He gave this film so much more beauty than it really needed and it's all the better for it. The skydiving scene alone is worth picking up the soundtrack for. It's such a lovely theme, not heroic or tense but reinforcing the love and reliance on each other between them. Redo this video again. For the music! :D
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.
Last comment but you should do a podcast talking about a movie you love, we may not see the stuff visually but based on your eloquence, charisma and knowledge on movies, I would love to listen you talk about a specific movie for an hour or just a random movie podcast
Extra win for some of the boats doing a u-turn when they see the wave.
Boats: uh no we gotta go
Boats: Oh *hell* no!
bruh i liked that, some nice detail and also funny

Alyssa me too
I havent actually watched the movie but jesus that sounds so sad. That would hurt my soul if i saw it
They died in peace, like my dear friend Arthur
It made me cry.

Hey, you do you man. I love your videos, but make sure you put yourself and your family above your fans.

I think an Everything Great About Cinemasins would be a fantastic idea. I'd throw some patreon money towards that.
Everything. So, Infinity.
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.
thanks for the tidbit.
Anytime someone points a gun at you, its always a real danger. It doesn't matter if the person using it doesn't know how to use it properly.
*I didn't think this would have been possible...but CinemaWins is always a win*
*ding*
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.

The govt makes you convert the vehicle to register it? That's fucked.

Now EGA The Equalizer

Captain Michael J. Caboose Wait what, the equalizer two is out on friday!!!!!
2KOOLURATOOL It Is. And I got to the end of the video and it turns out, he’s doing The Equalizer
Captain Michael J. Caboose YEA Ik it cant wait the movie is soo good
My name is Michael J caboose and I hate taxes
Captain Michael J. Caboose Shut up Caboose.

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.

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.
Love this

If you get requests and the chance
All done now!
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!
With the amount of movies yoy have done with the rock it's like your on a Rampage.
patience! He's going through them as fast and furious as he can.
Jeez, no need to Moana, it's just a comment
Yea he's really Rocking it!
As stated in the description, The Rock welcomed him to the Jungle that is called RUclips
He is the scorpion King of action movies
"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!
Can you do iron giant?
Yas
But then he'd just upload the whole movie... On second thought, let's do it!
Niiiiiiicccceeee
Y E S
YES
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-
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!!
Fun fact I just found out:
Of all the movies the Golden Gate Bridge has appeared in, it has stayed intact more times than it's been destroyed.
Please do EGA The Accountant
David Ray Naw that shot is from the Equalizer
I'm excited to see his take on the Equalizer next week, but the Accountant would be a great one for the near future!
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,
I love the chemistry 🧪 between Ben and Blake, a relationship that developed well without feeling forced.
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!
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?
I acually do that movie was quite good
Yeah, I just hope Mortal Engines doesn't suffer the same fate.
I actually requested this a long time ago. Hopefully, he’ll end up doing it someday
I think i've requested John Carter about 3 times now lol.
Couldn't agree more. Loved 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.
Holy crap!!!! You’re doing The Equalizer!!!!! Next week
David Ray I recognised the card that person was holding his hand (FYI. That person Denzel Washington)
It´s either that or The Acountant
Гопник задира I believe it’s The Equalizer
I vote Accountant because I recently watched that movie.
Tina Starlight It’s definitely The Equalizer
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.
Please do everything great about Infinity War when it comes out.
Thomas Grindol he will once it comes out on DVD and blu-Ray
Black SideKick
When is that?
TheNew RUclipsr some time in mid august
Everything IS great about Infinity War, so....
August 14th, or something along those lines I've kinda forgotten. But soon.
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.
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.
"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.
And Hogan
You guys are the best!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Please do:
1) The Circle
2) Frozen
3) The Lego Ninjago Movie
4) Independence day 2
5) Tropic Thunder
6) Arrival
7) Shrek 1,2,3,4
8) Murder on the Orient Express
9) The Princess Bride
10) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2!!!!!!
There is barely anything good with Frozen. If you are speaking about the Disney movie, that is. Maybe there's another movie called Frozen that is actually good.
@@iclynnx he should do the Princess Bride dude it’s such an awesome movie
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.
You should do the John Wick movies AKA the movies that made everyone remember Keanu Reeves CAN act.
Ryan McCarthy and the badass action scenes
Can you please do everything great about rise of the guardians plz
YES! Such an underrated movie.
@@sofiafernandes9 Yep

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.
I love this movie so much. I never saw your original but I'm so happy you did a second one
Yay! Loved this movie, especially in theaters, and I’m glad we got an updated video for it!
Ooh this is gonna be good! I enjoyed the movie when I saw it.
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
I love that you are doing legitimately average movies. Makes me hopeful for that "Everything Great About League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" :P
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 :)
Everything Great about Monty Python. Doesn't matter which one, although all would be preferable
I'm happy you now feel you have your faithful viewers! Keep doing what you enjoy!
Alexandra Daddario swimming underwater in a tank top - Ding.
Saunderss25 everything about her is a win
The overlooked win. Yep.
Delete the "swimming underwater in a tank top" part and you're golden. She is absolutely stunning in pretty much every shot.
True detective.
Michael Kazmierczak lie!
Percy Jackson
Brad Peyton is originally from my hometown, so seeing him and his movie getting praise like this oddly makes me feel really proud.
ARROW FOR THE WIN
(Cue to my pic tho *ding* +1 win for Emma's good jokes)
Emma 👌
Your videos are my favorite. Please don't stop anytime soon. Thank you!
Everything Great About The Greatest Showman please.
YES
YES YES YES
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.
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.
Brian Lee EGA Chronicle would be amazing
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.
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.
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.
Please we are all waiting for the lord of the rings trilogy
zahid khan In all seriousness, these would be his longest videos he's ever made.
Gideon Han
Probably 3 videos for each of the 3 movies in the trilogy.
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
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 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.
More Arrow fans! This is why I stay for the host, he references Parks and Rec, The Office, Arrow
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!
Can you do chicken little next? I watched it recently and was surprised by the maturity and the appeal to adults
Brandon Padilla yessss
Hell yeah!
Brandon Padilla yeah, I especially loved chicken little as a kid, it was and still is awesome
Best movie ever made and if you disagree not only you're wrong, but your mom is ugly
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.
Everything great about The Godfather. DO IT
Thank you for doing the movie again! I just discovered your channel last week and did not see the original video.
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
But would the average boater know that in an area that hasn't had many tsunamis previously ?
@@ImaNerdANDaGeek You'd be surprised how common it is for people to know this
This video was really well done. You took a movie I really thought was subpar and showed me...everything great about it.
How is your wife’s friends family doing so far? I’m hoping they’re doing well so far
Echoing this sentiment. Hope all is well with the fam, Mr CinemaWins xx
Wait what happened? Even not knowing what it is i sincerely hope that whoever was affected/hurt is better now or will be better soon.
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.
Everything great about The Last Jedi
Yeah, even though it screwed up the Star Wars series a bit (or a lot, depending on what you hard-core fans think), I would really like to see CinemaWins point out all the good stuff in that movie.
Yeeeeees but only when suitable for him I guess
I could do without it.
Yes, please. This fanbase has been badly in need of an attitude adjustment when it comes to that movie, and every little bit of positivity helps.
I just meant obviously it's his decision :)
8:51 That's actually a really smooth Double Entendre. They just landed in a literal second base (I guess, I don't know much about baseball) and there was a metaphorical second base. So, a win for you for keeping the win pg-13?
Great job once again! I hope things get better soon!
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.
IF anyone really paid attention to the movie like Cinema win did you would have noticed that the movie was one giant warning film about what to do in case of a large earthquake where ever you are. As a person who has went through 5 major quakes including the last recent one making 6 for me -_-. I practically knew everything that movie was pointing out what to do in a Earthquake situation.
Colton Haynes is a great actor and I very much enjoy his work as both Jackson in Teen Wolf and Roy in Arrow. I genuinely don't think that I can choose which character I like better.
Do everything great about How to Train your Dragon 2!
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.
Now do everything great about Rampage (2018)
It was so fun to watch.
"Of course, wolves do fly".
It seems like when casting directors want to remake or revisit an old property, they call Dwayne Johnson. Race to Witch Mountain, Jumanji, and now Rampage. And the Skyscraper trailers remind me of Die Hard. I'm surprised he wasn't in the Goosebumps movie.
Imagine a Die Hard featuring Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson.
Spirz Like how the third Die Hard featured Bruce Willis and Samuel Leslie "Muthafuckin'" Jackson and was awesome? Yes Please.
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.
Anyone remember that one episode of Star Trek Voyager when The Rock made a cameo appearance as a cage fighter?
Haha i'd forgotten about that. I remember at the time i was like 'i know that face' but couldn't place it (didn't watch wwe(f) much back then). Lol.
Me and my dad were watching reruns a while ago, and I went "Oh hey, it's the dude from Race to Witch Mountain".
Hey, I watched this movie today because of you! I really loved it! Thanks!
Everything GREAT About Murder on the Orient Express
You are such an optimistic and cheerful critic, and we love you for it.
#CinemaWinsForever
The Accountant next week?
Just wanted to say thank you for publishing this video, despite going through a rough time. CinemaWins has earned the title of "always a win."
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.
lol don't but that excuse lol
Did he know someone that died in the '89 earthquake ?
What? No real words about Andrew Lockington's amazing score?! He gave this film so much more beauty than it really needed and it's all the better for it. The skydiving scene alone is worth picking up the soundtrack for. It's such a lovely theme, not heroic or tense but reinforcing the love and reliance on each other between them. Redo this video again. For the music! :D
You said flexibility for the guy that played Reed Richards and didn't even harp on it. Not a win lol
I have been watching this dude for more than an hour. I'm not stopping.
9:39 Was that you winning a continuity error?
+Steppen Wolf 2018
Yes. Sarcastically. It was a special occasion. ;)
CinemaWins Hehe... cool. I can't wait for Rampage... you'll do that one, right?
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.
Everything great about Mamma Mia because the new one came out!
Last comment but you should do a podcast talking about a movie you love, we may not see the stuff visually but based on your eloquence, charisma and knowledge on movies, I would love to listen you talk about a specific movie for an hour or just a random movie podcast
I thought for a second it's GTA
Well, an earthquake mod with all the destruction would be awesome.
EQUALIZER! That's become one of my out of nowhere favorites. It feels like a super hero film mixed with Home Alone, plus a dash of B movie horror.
Alexandria Daddario is "totally passable"....I'm so triggered.
I'm honestly surprised to see a video from you this month. I hope you and all your loved ones are ok and are in good health mentally.
