So what do you get if you make a Bourne movie and take out Bourne?
Despite coming out only a few years after I was born, I only managed to actually see the original Total Recall film in the last few months. So I didn’t have nearly the nostalgic baggage that a lot of people had coming into it.
This is another movie right up there with the Avengers in terms of anticipation and I have to say that it delivered. There’s just something about super hero movies that’s going particularly well right now. I’m not sure how long this is going to last, but I’m more than happy to ride it while it does.
Why do we have another Spider-Man movie? Granted, I liked it more than any of the previous three, but it just feels too soon. Of course people are going to compare it to the previous movies.
Fun idea at least and although it had some problems in execution, I enjoyed it well enough. The action scenes were neat, particularly the flaming ax-fu of firey doom (which they could have used more of).
I think that if Brave where made by anyone other than Pixar, I would have absolutely loved it. Granted, that’s not really a fair comparison, but I just can’t shake the feeling.
Huh. Well, the trailers were good. That’s something at least.
Oof. I guess it was pretty. That’s something. There were some really technically impressive scenes, like the stag and the dwarves and the glittery mirror warrior things.
I really liked the first two Men in Black movies. They’re a the sort of fun that I end up re-watching around once a year as a sort of guilty pleasure. I was a little surprised that they decided to make a third one, but I think it worked out well enough.
