Pooled reviews: ‘Magic Mike’

MANILA, Philippines – You know that moment when there’s a new movie out and you’re not sure if you want to see it just because you don’t know if it’s worth watching? The next thing you know, you’re scouring the internet for reviews to convince you to watch it.

Each of us has unique preferences. What’s good for you won’t necessarily be good for another. There will be tons of long reviews out there and it’s going to be time-consuming to look for and read all of them.

RAPPLER shares with you reviews from different personalities and perspectives in one page. Here are reviews from RAPPLER readers of the movie, Magic Mike:

Kimberly May Bautista (CS senior supervisor, Integrim Solutions): “Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer never looked so gorgeous and oh, so hot! You’ll definitely get your money’s worth or maybe even more!”

Blaze Galvez (marketing specialist for a film outfit): “The movie exploits not the cast’s mischievous stripping but the inner urge of the one who is watching. Be prepared to feel the heat.”

Roselle Advincula (researcher, GMA Network): “My goody two shoes literally dropped when I watched Magic Mike. Don’t expect any story from the film — there is none. Who needs a good story if your eyes can savor ‘heavenly’ bodies? Even if the film had an award-winning depth and flow, I bet no one would notice; not when Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer are dancing top less, wearing less and less. Hot!”

Lyn Ortaliz (producer, Rappler): “More than what meets the eye, this movie is not all about money, drugs and sex (but the sex part was really orgasmic). 

Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) really got to me. You may not be a stripper, but any person stuck with a miserable job and who has bigger dreams may come to the realization that, at the end of the day — like Lane — you live your life the way you choose to live it.

It’s a sizzling, sexy movie with a hint of morale. It may not be a family movie but I recommend it to any woman who appreciates a good (sexy) dance. Boys can learn a step or two.”

Denise Kasilag (Communication graduate, AMA University): “This movie is an ‘eye opener’! Thongs never looked so hot on men until Magic Mike!” – Rappler.com
