Lucy (2014)
... for sure. And in this film, it's not only her looks that makes men dizzy and their head swoon. One look is enough to knock them out. Morgan Freeman just plays himself again and guides you through the story with the full explanation of the phenomenon that we are witnessing, complete with ...

Last Knights (2015)
... The whole story focuses on Raiden (Clive Owen) who was taken care of at a young age by Bartok (Morgan Freeman) and promoted to "Commander of the Seventh Rank". An adjacent kingdom is ruled by Gezza Mott (Aksel Hennie) who seeks to expand his ...

5 Flights up
... when she made the decision to marry an Afro-American. Compared to that every setback is just peanuts. I was particularly curious about how Morgan Freeman would play his part. After a succession of meaningless roles in both brilliant films as soon-to-be-forgotten films, like "Olympus Has Fallen", ...

... a better performance). Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough struggle to bring depth to paper-thin characters, and as nice as it is to see Morgan Freeman (in less than 15 minutes of screentime), it's hard to deny that he's just phoning it in as well. The only especially notable aspect of Oblivion ...

"Lucy" (2014)
... into surreal visuals--and pulls back just before I'm about to go "awww c'mon!" (in almost every case, it was an excellent ride. Morgan Freeman is in his usual character of late, though he has a little more to work with, and SJ is perfect. She starts off as the bimbo with the looser ...

"Transcendence"
... preview made it look, though the overacting when the virtual WIll "transcends" his death and shows up in the computer is still there. If Freeman's trite trope, "If we don't stop it, it will be the end of mankind as we know it" from the preview was there, I don't remember it. ...

Re: The Best Actor
... and does them adequately). The first three are great within their range, but they don't venture out of that much if at all. De Niro (and Morgan Freeman) have been on the Hollywood assembly line for years now , and Sean Penn doesn't know how to do much besides moody. Ed Norton has done some good ...

... itself is up for debate). There are some interesting side characters as well that are given solid performances, and you can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman narrating (he speaks at the very beginning, and the very end). John Williams' score is mostly atmospheric, with a couple solid bits of action ...

... the very end) particularly the spider and barrel scenes. It was fun. Cool things happened that looked spectacular. I really dug the acting of Freeman and the expanded dialogue of Smaug. Freeman and Cumberbatch clearly work well together. The barrel scene was hilarious. I laughed so hard I ...
