Jack and Jill- good god/10. is al pacino strapped for cash? lol
Here's my long overdue list of recent reviews:
The Avengers 7/10: Terribly overhyped. Some of the super hero movies manage to be excellent all around such as X-Men First Class and Iron Man 1. Both were just wholesome and fun at the same time. The Avengers was lackluster and didn't quite stand out considering it was THE movie to tie out all the heroes and their respective movies together. It's almost as bad as Captain America.
I can't believe you think X-Men First Class was actually good. It actively shit on source material and didn't really have a "point", specifically because it shit on source material so much that at this point its in its own universe.
Here's my long overdue list of recent reviews:
....
MiB 3 7/10: Doesn't have the charm of the original, but way better than the terribad second one. I also loved the ending. A nice flick all around.
....
I really liked this as well, I did think that it ended really abrubtly. It seemed to give ample time to many aspects of the story, but the final leg was very rushed and felt like a letdown compared to the overall arc. I kind of have the idea that this would have made a spectacular David Lean film with a good 3 or 3.5 hours to really breathe.
I still recommend it, but that aspect indeed bothered me.
You just put this on my radar; I'm gonna check it out. Thanks!
The Dark Knight Rises - 8/10.glaring plot holes render me unable to score it any higher
Thats what everyone keeps saying.
Not to mention it supposedly takes a whole hour to get going.
I am worried that DKR will suffer from "Spiderman 3: The Syndrome" too many characters, not enough time dedicated to play out a character.. which combined with ridiculously long run time.. makes for an extremely tiring movie going experience.
The Dark Knight Rises - 8/10.glaring plot holes render me unable to score it any higher
This is not what happens at all.
The character development is excellent and is one of the best parts of the movie. I especially loved Bane's backstory.
Are the plot holes even more noticeable than The Dark Knight? I'm one of the minority who thinks TDK was a bit overrated.
Ugh.The Grey 7.5/10: Pretty good. I loved the artistic ending. Wasn't memorably fantastic though.
Ugh.
Why does everyone like this movie (especially the critics)? It's worthless! I really don't want to force myself to watch it again just to articulate what's wrong with it.
It may piss off the comic book nerds, I don't have a problem with that.
I too feel that First Class is a way better movie than the Avengers.
