I had mixed feelings about this movie. The city scenes were pretty cool. Scarlett Johansson as Major and Pilou Asbaek as Batou were both great actors. Some of the various robot scenes were good sci-fi. However, the characters were too bland and weren’t given any heart and soul to work with in my opinion.
Tricky beast from Mars messes with scientists. Scary.
This movie is exactly what you expect it to be. Nothing more and nothing less. Oh, and Emma Watson makes a great Belle.
If you are a Star Wars fan, then get to a theater as soon as you can. 🙂
I thought this was a good story about World War II and two spies who fall in love during a deadly mission in Casablanca. The action scenes are great and full of tension. The love story is a little lacking however, with a surprisingly poor performance by Brad Pitt. Marion Cotillard was wonderful throughout the film. The ending, which I won’t divulge, was excellent. I say go see it if you are a fan of movies like this.
Revenant – one that returns after death or a long absence.
This movie is full of wonder. It is about war, wildlife, luck – both good and bad, elements, nature, survival, and revenge. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy were excellent. Heed the warnings concerning the R rating, and if you can deal with a movie like this, you will be rewarded.
This movie nails both the unbearable awkwardness and the youthful fun of being a teenager in high school. If you hold on until near the end of the film, you will probably be rewarded. Until then, weirdness reigns.
The animation was magnificent! I thought the story started out great, especially the part where there is wonderful storytelling in the streets of the village using inventive music and magical origami characters. Then, for me, things fell flat. I lost interest in the characters, and the animation and score were not enough to keep this film afloat. I did enjoy the end credits, however.
This is a fun summer movie. All the characters you love are back. The villain has a rubber face that deserves punching. Sofia Boutella plays a great part and you wish for more of her character as the film goes on. The space scenes are wonderful. There could be a little less of last second escapes, motorcycle stunts, and funky physics. All in all, this one sticks to the franchise formula which is both a good thing and a bad thing at times.
Just when you thought Marvel movies were the bomb, this one bombs. A tired display of X-Men super powers along with a plot to insure lots of good napping in the theater.
