The writing is spot on and the SFX are good; however, I literally feel nothing when I watch them. And when I say nothing, I mean nothing. I don't like them or hate them, there's just this void for two hours. I mean, can anyone tell me the difference, aside from characters, between Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Captain America 2, Avengers, etc, etc, etc? I know they are popcorn flicks, and I'm cool with those. That's why I like and appreciate Avatar and Gravity. They aren't supposed to be terrific, just entertaining enough to keep one engaged. But the Marvel films are 2 hours of smashing. Omg avatar. i lost precious brain cells forcing myself through that one. ultimately I'll admit I'm too jaded for superhero movies. I've not watched a single one since I was a kid with the original superman. i watched antman with my son and that's the only way I could watch any similar movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Deadpool 4/10. Yuck. Did not enjoy it much at all. The majority of comic book movies I don't seem to like- the live action just doesn't translate well for me. Then again I loved Micheal Keaton's Batman as well as The Predator/Aliens etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen it in years (6 maybe), but it was good for what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the show is entirely different. Episode 2 definitely a lot better, got me hooked back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Mud Holycrapthatwasgood/10 I have been wanting to watch it for a while. It popped up on Netflix this morning so I gave it a go. It was excellent. Loved the kids in it. Simple, straightforward dialogue. Got right to the point, right to the emotion. Would highly recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon45ca Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Cpt. America: Civil War 8.5/10 Really, it could be called Avengers 2 1/2. Damn good flick. OMG Spidey in the MCU? Best ever, can't wait to see more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also heard people say it is a rip off of Dances with Wolves. I was regularly reading stories to my kids for bed shortly before Avatar came out. That included Pocahontas.That is why I draw the parallel. This story sums it up perfectly. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/04/avatar-pocahontas-in-spac_n_410538.html Avatar sucks major ass.

Monty Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hell Comes to Frogtown Rowdy Roddy Piper film from the late 80s. This is essentially Mad Max: Fury Road, except humorously sh*tty. Worth watching for the sheer awfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
