The Transporter Refueled (2015)
Is it a reboot or a sequel, who knows, the film never gives you any reason to care either way, what a piece of garbage. I quite liked the earlier Transporter films, I think the main attraction there though was the pure awesome that is Jason Statham, no such presence here. If your going to try replace Jason Statham you better go out and find the biggest badass you can find, not this guy. Ed Skrein is pretty terrible in this, I don't even think he's that bad of an actor, he's just too much of a pretty boy, he does his best to look and act tough and that's exactly how it comes off, as acting. He looks like he's trying for his best Jason Statham impersonation and it's a big fail.
While Jason Statham might not possess incredible acting, he's a great fit for Transporter. He looks suave and confident, more importantly he looks capable in action sequences. Ed Skrein only amounts to carbon copy lookalike with accent.

Furious 7 (2015)
Best of all in the series !!!! I'm the fan of the series. I only saw the first one and the last 3 movies. but so far it was the best
You know what's more surprising than there's seven of these? The fact that they got better! Especially the last two movies, which are both very well directed action movies. Here James Wan - well known for The Conjuring and the Insidious films - is taking over the direction. I was truly excited for Furious 7 and it is actually a lot of fun: it is a big unrealistic good time with cars flying out of air planes using parachutes, explosions, fist fights and there are all great things!
Ridiculous, over the top, cheesy, cliche and somehow fantastic, Furious 7 is another very very fun installment in the franchise. It's crazy how Five, Six, and now 7 are all considered the best installments. How often can you get quality films 5, 6, and 7 movies deep? The dialogue is a bit stilted at times, and there are moments when the CGI Paul Walker is pretty noticeable, but for the most part, this is a very well-done film.
The film begins kind of bland, giving us the introductory information on the new villain, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). Shaw is the highly-skilled assassin whose younger brother was severely injured by the Fast family in the sixth film. He is out for vengeance against Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew, and he won't slow down until he takes care of business. In comes the hot-shot director of a secret agency, played excellently by Kurt Russell, who informs Dom of a surveillance device called "God's Eye" that can find anyone and would be used for injustice if in the wrong hands. By telling Dom he can use the device to find Shaw, he convinces the alpha and his team to obtain "God's Eye," leading to a series of car chases, fight scenes, and the usual fair from these films.

Insurgent (2015)
Insurgent, based on the second book in the science fiction series of young-adult novels by Veronica Roth, takes us back days after the events of the first film. Divergent director Neil Burger is replaced by Robert Schwentke and so are the screenwriters. It's too early to say if this was a bad move, and again, it doesn't matter. Here's why: Insurgent is basically a rehash of Divergent but with added visual effects and a bit more violence than expected in a YA film. In other words, if you've missed the first film, Schwentke brings you up to speed with the post-apocalyptic remains of a dystopian Chicago. Tris (Shailene Woodley) is haunted by the massacre of her parents. Along with her boyfriend and instructor Four (Theo James), brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) and fellow survivor Peter (Miles Teller), Tris must do all she can to outrun, outgun and ultimately outsmart forces sent by main antagonist Jeanine (Kate Winslet).
The movie is good if you haven't read the book. I am really disappointing and OK, I know the book is always better than the movie, but the first one was almost the same as a book (perfect movie it was). This one, however, was not. I think I like the first director more because this one throw out some really important scenes and the end is a lot different and I hate thing that the relationship between Tris and Four in the movie is perfect but in the book it has its ups and downs. This movie has a lot of special effect that gave a headache. The first one was perfect adaption, but now, just MEHH

Spongebob : Sponge Out Of Water (2015)
I was a big fan of the show when i was younger and would watch it every morning before school, so i went into this film expecting to see the same type of humour that made the show so great. And this film captured the overall tone of the show and really felt like a long episode. Now, this film is definitely for kids now and those who watched it when they were younger, I would think not too many other people would enjoy it as much if you weren't familiar with the original show.
When a diabolical pirate above the sea played by Antonio Banderas, steals the secret Krabby Patty formula, SpongeBob and his nemesis Plankton must team up in order to get it back. SpongeBob Sponge Out of Water was for me a pleasant surprise while watching the film. I didn't had much expectations for the movie, but i have to say i was pleasantly surprised. The movie had a good mix between classic cartoon style and CG. When i first saw the trailer i thought the film would be nothing but CG spongebob characters.

Night at The Museum : Secret of the Tomb (2015)
The finale which had been in the planning stages is really one that is bittersweet and the final performances of Robin Williams who will be missed along with Mickey Rooney as both died in the year 2014.
Ben Stiller returns as the guard who knows the secrets of the museum coming alive. And how a tablet keeps them that way. But in a black tie affair thing, which went awry due to the fact of the tablet as the animals and people like Teddy Roosevelt that comes to life is about to die down due to the tablet going down.
You don't go into "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" expecting great art. You expect a few laughs and some moments of wonder as you witness museum displays magically come to life. The first "Night at the Museum" disappointed me. The second, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" surprised me with how much better it was than the first. Amy Adams was wonderful as Amelia Earhart in that film.
This new, third installment, "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" was only okay, but it wasn't horrible, either. I really, really wish it had been a bit better. It's one of Robin Williams' and Mickey Rooney's last movies. Both died this year. Robin Williams does look visibly tired and sad.
