X-Men: Apocalypse

A very slow first half, but enjoyable second half. A bit confounded on how it scored so lowly at Rotten Tomatoes! :lol

3/5.
 
I thought it was on par or worse than TLS. The same reused angry Magneto plot device again, poorly executed Apocalpyse, dumb Horsemen, unneeded Wolverine cameo which felt like it was included since the studio got nervous when they realized how **** production has been up to that point. I liked the final battle with everyone versus Apocalpyse though.
 
Billy Two Hats - 6/10 Gregory Peck is in my top 3 actors of all time and I love everything he's in, but this one was kind of boring. Was my first watch.

It didn't bothered me that much because I think the X-Men continuity is FUBAR so I just turned my brain off. The final fight feels refreshing simply because we get to see Cyclops and Jean. Aside from the boring first half, I guess my biggest gripe is Apocolype, why can't they use CGI to make the actor bigger? He's TINY! :slap

Yeah, they could of use Isaac to still portray him but he should of been a big and brawny blue guy. He's supposed to emanate power with his appearance. But instead we got Nightcrawler's tailless uncle.

:lol

Still, leaps and bounds better than BvS or the current DC films. I don't think you understand what suffering is until you give BvS a watch.
 
Suicide Squad (Extended Cut): 9/10

call me what you want, but I love this movie. :lol the few little tidbits actually help flesh out some of the biggest complaints, particularly Harley and Joker's relationship, and some continuity errors. I've always said that this was a "test" run for Leto taking on the Joker, and he absolutely steals the extra scenes he's in, his monologue in Arkham, before torturing Harley is fantastic.

will be watching it again today.
 
Godzilla: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack - 4/10

Too OTT and cheesy for its own sake. While the concept and ideas behind it are fresh and cool... in terms of writing and visuals it feels like a homage to cheap Showa films. It just doesnt work, especially when the narrative drags like a 10 years old girl with the drunk-to-death grandfather on her back.
 
Cap America: First Avenger: 6/10

This is my third time watching it and I think I like it less every time. I didn’t like it when it first came out and I still don’t quite understand why. It seems to hit all the right notes on paper. It’s a good story. All the actors are perfect for their roles. I can point to the overly sci-fi approach they tried with all the Hydra stuff, or the more nostalgic style of moviemaking that seemed to hold the intensity back a bit, or even some cheap looking sets. But I simply could not connect to the movie or characters. I’ve said it before, but I see the scene where I’m supposed to feel sad or inspired or whatever, but I just don’t feel it. The terrible music didn’t help either. Way too overbearing and obvious is trying to elicit an emotion. People complain that Doc Strange and Ant Man were formulaic. Well, this one really feels like it is, and generic to boot. Both Cap sequels put this one to absolute shame.

I’ll list some good points: I liked the Red Skull. I thought the Cap USO montage was good. And I like the story overall. I really wish I could like it more and I’ve gone back to it twice to try and re-evaluate it.

Anyway, by far the worst of the MCU origin movies, and competing against Thor 2 as the worst MCU movie overall.

I should also point out that I really enjoy the vast majority of the MCU movies. I think they are all great. I even really like/love Iron Man 3, Doc Strange, Ant Man and both Avengers movies, which I know are all very divisive. CA:FA just doesn’t do it for me.
 
Yeah, I don't think TFA is a particularly good movie either but there's no way it's at the bottom of the MCU barrel. I'd put it above Thor 1 & 2, Iron Man 2 & 3, and TIH.
 
Bernie: 7.5/10

Very solid movie. I was expecting an over the top comedy based on the picture I saw on Netflix. But it's played reasonably straight, in an almost Coen-esque way. Jack Black is really good.
 
Independence Day: Resurgence: 6/10

It was ok. Maybe slightly less hokey than the original. Lots of screams of force from the main characters! Like when Liam H is trying to pull up to avoid crashing (or somesuch), he starts screaming in a show of force! And he and others do that all the time! Weird and funny.

Interesting that they set it up for at least a sequel.
