The second one was a lot better in my opinion.

 

I'll have to check the second one out.

 

Finally watched 1917, highly impressed. Beautiful cinematography, beyond excellent editing. Easy 9/10.

 

I recommend that you do. The argument scene is one of the funniest moments in movie history—in my opinion.

 

HAGGIS!!

Wish they would figure out a way to make the third one. Itching to know what was on page 47.

 

Growing up watching and quoting the original religiously....i fell asleep towards the end of this...however a 2 is low for this...5

 

I just wanted to turn it off 4 or 5 times because of sheer boredom. It was a crawl to the finish. They spent more time on the useless cameo list than on the actual story and script it seems.

 

Captain Marvel - 8.5/10: This was a rewatch for me. I think this is the second or third time I've seen this since theaters and it's bittersweet. I like the movie, I like the character, you can tell it was fun to work on, but Brie Larson just alienated so many people by running her mouth at the wrong time. I'm all for her giving her opinion, we do each and every day, but the timing needs to be right and she's like a bull in a china shop. You might agree with her in general, just not at the moment, and she hasn't figured that out. That, plus the incredibly uncomfortable interviews spoke volumes about how she is and how the cast interacted with her. Cheadle and Hemsworth might've been "in character" during their interviews (possibly) but Renner was not. His body language was checked and rechecked and he clearly couldn't stand to be near her. Knowing that, it ruins some of the fun for me. It's still a good movie, probably even better than I remembered, but hampered slightly by her. She's a female Edward Norton, basically, and we all see how he and the MCU turned out. Maybe they can use the multiverse as an excuse to recast her.

Avengers: Endgame - 8.5/10: Much like CM, I believe this is the second or third time I've seen this since theaters and it's better than I remembered. I think I softened on it because I knew what was coming and it wasn't as relentless as the first viewing, which was just white knuckle and throwing you back and forth. This time, I could pause when I needed to (got to get my fluid intake up, no more kidney stones for me!) and actually listen and pay attention the entire time. It's great watching with an audience, especially Cap's big scene in the final battle, but in other ways it detracts from the experience. This is one of those movies you need to absorb because there's so much going on. So, so much, going on. They didn't have time to address what happened to all of the people who returned from the Blip, which is understandable at 3+ hours, but there should've been a discussion or something, even briefly. All in all, though, excellent experience.

This kind of treatment is what Transformers needs in terms of movies. Competent writing, directing, producing, and even starring. We should be watching those stand up and cheer moments for Optimus and Rodimus and the gang. Could you imagine a Hot Rod/Rodimus scene akin to Cap's and the hammer, on the big screen, with people cheering? My gosh. We're long overdue.

 

I get that...but that is what I was expecting to see going into it. I thought it was fun to see who all they got to come back and how they have aged.

 

That Cap scene needed over a decade of buildup across 20+ movies in order to be so memorable. I don't see that happening with Transformers.

 

Batman Begins - 8/10

The Dark Knight - 10/10

The Dark Knight Rises - 9/10

 

I don't either, now. We could've had that if we had started down a different path. Doesn't mean we don't need or don't deserve it.

 

The Spirit... I saw this in the theater and was like wth did I just watch. I had no knowledge of the comic books, so it was all chaos to me. But, I remember thinking I still liked the style of it. After seeing movies like 300 and Sin City, and liking them, I understand the syle of this movie more. Seeing it again tonight, I liked it better than the 1st time. It is not for everyone, and I understand the bad ratings it has on RT and such. I dunno....I still think it is cool. 5/10

 

Batman V Superman Ultimate Edition:
To prepare myself for the upcoming Snyder Cut I went to see this version considering I only saw the theatrical version once. Now compared to the theatrical version, it does feel better. Despite running longer, the pacing feels better. Nothing felt too rushed or too padded, some subplots were expanded and made more relevant to overall narrative, but it still doesn't fix the issues I had with the original version: Wasting Superman's hearing in the capital, the setup of the fight, DoomZod, Lex Jr., and grandma's peach tea.

6/10

 

Django Unchained 9/10

 

A Beautiful Mind: 7/10

Fantastic performances by the two leads. A little more boilerplate than I remember.

 

the movie I find the best is X Men because I like heroes very much

 

Venom-7/10 It was pretty fun.

 

I love that movie.

 

Zack Snyder's Justice League:
The Snyder Cut is a vast, vast, VAST improvement over the Whedon cut it's almost a crime this was not the version we had originally. It's more coherent, no forced humor, it knows its tone and it sticks to it, and Cyborg's story is a huge plus. Like, Cyborg's plotline is the best part of the entire cut.

Is it unnecessarily too long? I'd say a little. The epilogue did not have to be 30 minutes long, not every effect hit right, Wonder Woman's chant music was annoyingly overused, and I'm not sure what's the reason behind the aspect ratio.

It's unfortunate we will never get a follow up to this. But for all its ups and downs, I'll pick this cut over Whedon's. Zack Snyder should be proud for accomplishing his dream project thanks to all the support and backing he received

8.5/10
