Love the train scene. It's probably my all time favorite superhero moment.

Warcraft: 4/10
Just couldn't get into it. A little hard to follow art first. I noticed they were really paving the way for it to be a series (mentioning the others that the Orcs were running from, setting up the potential for an alliance, etc.). I wonder if that hurt the storytelling.

Not a movie, but I binge-watched Band of Brothers the past couple of nights.

The Acountant. Ben Affleck as a autistic skilled acountant pretty much bats without the suit or kill rule moves fast give a 6
Masterminds. Zach Galifinakis steals armored truck full of money give A 5.

IIRC you also were really put off by Into Darkness as well. Did you like the first Abrams Trek from 2009?
I did initially but it didn't survive repeat viewings all that well for me so I kinda lump them all together now as ''not real Star Trek''.

Fffaaaaaake!!

Insufferable S.O.B.
I agree. They are single serving only. The originals I can watch over and over.
Yeah it's up there. SM2 was such an awesome theater experience, more so than the first one in some ways. I go back and forth on which one I like best.

So more or less what the Prequels were for me.
Indeed, they are in that company with fellow expendables Alien Resurrection, the AvPs, all after Robocop 1, all after T2, all after Die Hard 3 etc.
Nope. SWPT over Non-trek any day.
Yeah, really every franchise goes bad at some point. It's just the nature of the industry which is why I no longer sweat bad sequels/prequels/reboots. If you extract JUST the individual Cap movies from the MCU then I suppose we've got a rare "untainted" trilogy but really, it's only a matter of time before Marvel makes enough Captain America films that we start to get a stinker or two. There's no avoiding it.
So like you (unless I'm mistaken) I take certain franchises and put each film into one of three categories:
1. Enjoyable and canon (SW, ESB, ROTJ, TFA, ALIENS)
2. Enjoyable but not canon (Alien 3, Terminator Genisys, parts of TPM)
3. Crap that isn't even close to being canon (SW PT, post 90's Die Hard, RoboCop 3, JAWS: The Revenge, etc.)

For me the jury is still out on TFA. I have trouble with aspects of it - some of which may be helped if the next two films are good. We'll see.
Alien 3 I've liked for a long time but the problem of the eggs at the start of the film is a big one. Can the film be canon when it proceeds from such a questionable starting point? The most plausible explanation I can think of is that a drone carried those eggs and planted them on the dropship when it was on the ground on LV426, waiting for Hicks and Ripley. Yet even that seems ridiculous - the notion of this sneaky Alien who plants the eggs and then scurries away without trying to attack or capture anyone - probably chuckling to itself and rubbing its hands together with mischievous glee as it flees the scene.
Totally agreed on the rest
Oh I wasn't suggesting that you agreed with my individual choices, just the concept of the three types of sequels (canon, good non-canon, and bad non-canon.)
Yep those rascally aliens that sneak into your closet at night and replace your underwear with a couple of facehugger eggs.
What's funny though is that Prometheus actually kind of makes the opening of A3 plausible. If the xenomorphs are just dripping with that magic goo then maybe a Queen under distress can secrete some emergency "egg goo." Who knows.
