Terrible Plan! Movie Reviews

What I liked: I went in with low expectations, for some reason I was thinking this was direct to DVD grade. It far exceeded my expectations. There were dinosaurs.

This phoenix was much more impressive, you get glimpses early in the movie that make you excited for when she will actually appear. Not only was there better powers the characters were funner too. Nightcrawler wears a thriller jacket and is entertaining. Just lik...
