It could easily be a 10/10 if some stuff was cut out. I absolutely love the first hour and a half though, the entire time they are on the island is awesome.
I didn't mind it either. A little overabundance in CGI and Jack Black got in the way.

Jack Black should had died on the Island.
Though, I find him tolerable in this. Probably cause PJ is such a good actors director.

He's not distracting in it, I just have come to completely loathe him. I prefer him as a weird side supporting character that hardly has screentime like Cable Guy, The Jackal and Waterworld.
I actually think some of the island stuff was excessive, either the dino-stampede or the giant bugs part...although I can understand why Jackson would have been reluctant to cut either given the amount of work that would have gone into them.

Pretty much sums up my opinion on him too. Though, back in 2005 he impressed me in this, they just focused too much on him.
If they cut the film into 2 parts, the Island film would be the one too watch. The NYC stuff is fun and visually striking, but for me the Island is soo much fun. Really creepy too. The scene where they first get there and see the natives, that **** is scary.
I'm also a huge 30's-40's nut, I love everything spanning those 20 years. Seeing them pack tommy's onto the island makes my pants shorter.
You guys play the video game? It's actually REALLY good.

Darkest Hour 9/10.. GO is incredible as Churchill.Actually all the acting is superb.A nice reveal about Churchill's call to Franklin in 1940 and the US neutrality clause.

Well, Jack is always down on his luck, so that wasn't the issue. I just thought he was too incompetent and he lacks intelligence and depth, which he had in the first film...and maybe the second film.
I didn't hate the film, but...yeah, the first two films are still my favorites. I liked the young Sparrow sequence and I kind of wish the whole film was about young Jack, because that sequence was great.
I'd be on board for the idea of a prequel series about the younger Jack, his debt with Davy Jones, etc. I really liked DMTNT and I love PotC but I honestly just don't see where they can take the franchise now without it feeling like a retread.
Avengers Age of Ultron - 7/10
I think that's the best I'd give it. It's fine, it doesn't do anything that makes me say ''I want this movie struck from the canon!!'' but it's also not stellar.
There's some great scenes and sequences but overall it's a bit repetitious of the first one, a lot of the jokes don't land and the pacing is a tad sluggish.

I think that's close to my score too. Maybe a tad higher.
It's fun, just too long. Some of the CGI and cinematography is atrocious, (in both avengers movies) and was even when it came out.

I haven't followed this, but now see they are jumping straight to the 4th book, which was written by a different person after the author of the original 3 books died? Weird. But also good because now I'm caught up with the 3 films made in Sweden!
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest: 7/10
In some ways, I like how the story progresses to this point, and the way everything comes together. But. . .the bow they put on everything is so nice and tidy. It's a bit much, given how dark some of the story is that gets to this point. The story is also a bit slow to unfold in this one at times, with Lisbeth
just hanging out in a hospital, jail cell, and court room for about 90% of the movie. It's also a bit weird that they don't seem to care that Lisbeth is accused not only of attempting to murder her father, but the two immigration activists once evidence comes to light that there is a conspiracy and her psychiatrist is a part of it. Just because the latter is true doesn't mean the former isn't. I didn't see any proof brought to court that the conspirators had committed those murders, at least nothing the judge panel (?) had time to process. Yet they let Lisbeth out on her own recognizance. But. . .they probably needed the to get to the resolution of the film at that point.

Is that your latest TLJ review?
Actually, that might be my feeling in response to the backlash against the film. I'm not a massive fan of the movie, but damn. You would think Rian Johnson had wiped his rear with pages from the bible or something with the kind of virulent responses out there.
