I review as many movies as I can and give each film a grade. This grade is reflective of my overall thoughts about the movie. An A or above means that I really had a great time watching the film. B scores mean that the film was really good. In some cases, it even means that I loved the film. Ted 2 is one of these scores. I loved Ted 2. I thought it did exactly what it promised: it made me laugh. However, I'll admit that a film like American Sniper was a better quality film, It was a higher level film than Ted.
An A+ doesn't mean that the movie is my favorite of the year. I gave American Sniper an A+ and Fury Road a lower score, but I feel Fury Road is a more entertaining movie. Why did I give Sniper an A+? Sniper set out to be a military biography, and it did it wonderfully.
In short, if you try to be a certain genre of movie, and you excel at that category of movie, you will be in consideration for an A grade or even an A+
Hope that makes my grading system simpler....

Terminator: Genisys
Genisys follows essentially the same basic format as 1984's Terminatior, in which a cyborg is sent back to hunt down Sarah Connor. Kyle Reese is sent to protect Sarah Connor. In this film, Reese is sent back, but finds Connor already aware of Skynet.
The Terminator franchise is one of my favorite series of all time because of Arnold's Terminator, and he is just as awesome in this new timeline as before.
Is this film as good as T1 or T2? No, but that is because of unfair expectations. Nothing will ever be as good as Cameron's direction, but as its own story, Genisys is solid. It holds its own, and that is a good thing.
Grade: B

Ted 2
Plot: Ted has to prove that he is a human in a court of law to gain the same basic rights as humans.
Ted 2 is essentially the same as Ted: Seth McFarlane trademarks are filled in this movie. I loved the first Ted, as I said in my previous review, and so I was eagerly waiting to see if this movie would be as consistently hilarious as the last one, and....
Ted 2 is one of the best comedy sequels of the year, because it understands what it is. This series is not meant to win any awards, it is meant to be entertaining, and that is exactly what Ted 2 is.
I loved Ted 2!! Definitely seeing it again and picking up the Blu-Ray to own as soon as it comes out.
Grade: B+
