I was waiting for him to strap a kangaroo saddle on the back of a velociraptor and go hurtling around on that.

Wait for the sequel.

I was worried before seeing the movie with "Raptor Squad" as it seemed incredibly dumb but that turned out to be one of the more believable parts of the film. Which serves to illustrate just how ridiculous it is.

A lot of the problems suggested a director that didn't quite know how blockbusters work which would make sense as this is only his second film. Some of the character reactions are out of place, (kids laughing happily after a near death experience, passionate kiss while people are getting mauled,) and some of the sequences are amateurish, particularly the horror-movie style death of a character that served no purpose and just came across as cruel and out of place. Character development was a problem too, a lot of character traits were shoe-horned in for either convenience's sake or for no reason at all.

Mad Max - Fury Road

10/10

No bullshit. Simple script. Awesome action. Almost zero CGI. Vehicles that blow your mind. Insanity. This is a masterpiece.


Godzilla 5/10

Do not watch. Go see Mad Max and hold a fluffy dinosaur in your lap. Much better.

Gunna need some sarcasm tags on that one.

Wups. Forgot to mention that I meant them car chases Mostly man made stunts. Atleast what I read....

how shit would the mad max sequel have needed to be in order to actually disappoint people. that movie is one of those rare franchises that is pretty much a license to print money. like stars wars and lord of the rings/the hobbit. there's a massive willing suspension of critical disbelief. people want to believe.

Muggles.

The man from UNCLE - 8

There were definitely parts throughout which I was constantly thinking, this is the direction James Bond films should have taken instead of the super gritty super soldier Bourne rip off they went with. Not quite to the extreme of this film as it has a very unconventional style and script.

Ex-Machina - 8/10
It was good, and I liked the Spoiler (highlight to read):
Asian sex robot thing.
Norway looks nice.

Have to agree, though I might give it a higher rating. Truly one of the best movies I've seen in quite some time...and not just because of all the full-frontal female robot nekkidness.

Pixels - 4.5 2.5 1/10

The CGI was great, and it was a neat feeling recognizing most of the stuff in the movie, but that was the high point for me.

The characters were a bit insulting, seeming to gamers what blackface is to African Americans. We get two media-endorsed stereotypes: the dead-end job burnout, and the dangerous, tinfoil hat guy who lives in his grandmother's basement. The other two may be less typical (POTUS and convict), but are still cringe-worthy dopes. And of course, to top it off they had to insert the easily-nettled, smarter-than-all-the-men, icy love-interest that was getting old when the 90's were doing it.

I know I shouldn't let all that interfere with enjoying a spectacle film, but it was really painful in hindsight.

e2: This is one of those rare movies where my opinion of it can be observed to degenerate in the time it takes to make a sandwich. It gets to keep a point because the tidal wave of old video game characters kept me completely distracted from its otherwise cynical dreck.

e1: JP4 - ?/10

I honestly don't know if it was the worst, because I don't remember much about JP2 or JP3. The CGI fights were cool enough, but the characters were either forgettable or ridiculous. Usually both. It's one of those movies that's so acceptably average that it defies rating by scale, but I went into it not expecting anything different.


meanwhile at InGen ...

Going to pick my next blockbuster with a bit more care.

Spectre - 2.5/10

The second worst Bond film to date. Horrible story, horrible CGI, horrible script, piss poor unbelievable action, exceedingly slow, boring and monotonous. Also when every scene has an 'epic' musical score in kind of loses its impact and just becomes loud annoying disruptive background noise.

The 21st century has not been kind to the bond franchise. I don't know why I keep going back.

Kill The Messenger - 8/10

More for the story than the cinematography although it was perfectly good - the CIA were importing drugs into the US to fund the Contras - GG USA

Don't believe it? The US was cheerfully selling weapons to Iran for the same purpose, flooding America with coke and crack was trivial by comparison.

Star Wars - Force Awakens

I'mma give it a nice 9/10

One minus for a few silly things Spoiler (highlight to read):
and some 'yeah, I saw that coming' moments. not gonna tell 'em yet but all in all this was a very good Star Wars unlike the last 3 vomits by Lucas. Can't ofc compete with IV V VI, but this felt fresh and well made. The humor was good but it didn't go too far to be a complete comedy. CGI was a bit crummy in few parts, but nothing like I II III. Wonder why they just can't make all the alien masks by hand... Can't wait for VIII

Han shot first
