Liked it. Then again I also liked The wild, wild west. :)
Jonah Hex is fine. It's a DC comic book film and for me it captures the essence of the comics well enough.
I actually love that movie!
=))
If I'm being absolutely honest I thought he seemed a little...hammy.
Maggie
Arnie stars as a father who's daughter has been infected during a zombie apocalypse. Though still not great, this was actually better than I was expecting it to be, largely due to the excellent performance of the daughter (Abigail Brestin).
To be honest, I'm surprised M. Night Shyamalan hasn't made this film already as the story seemed to be the sort of thing he would have liked.
No it's not perfect and I'm not a fan of the sequence that wastes the cast of The Raid but the rest is hugely enjoyable and it's my 2nd watch, seems a long time since my cinema viewing, enough hairs on the back of my neck moments once again.
There is nothing quite like Star Wars it's unique bring on Rogue One & Episode VIII.
It just felt like a gimick using them, big fan of both Raid 1 & 2 and can't wait for the concluding part of the trilogy when Evans gets round to it.
Raid 1 was one of the most exhausting and intense experiences I've ever had in a cinema, 2 I like as much but more of a sprawling crime epic with incredible set pieces, R1 was relentless.
a good mix of humour and action.
First off: Iron Man (2008).
Spectacular film. Starts off straight away with Robert Downey Jr acting like a total legend, and he manages to stay at this level for the entire film. Some great action scenes - the escape from the cave, attack of the village and final battle - all featuring a badass RDJ. Gwyneth Paltrow is a major eye candy, and Jeff Bridges always is a pleasure to watch. It has to be about the 10th time I've seen the film, and it still remains very rewatchable.
The Incredible Hulk (2008).
Now this is a strange film for me, because I saw 'Avengers' before this, so Mark Ruffalo was my first Hulk. But, Edward Norton delivers a stellar performance as always. Tim Roth and William Hurt spend the film chewing up the scenery like they always do. The action scenes are again intense here - the chase in Brazil, and the battle in the university in particular. However the final battle sequence is less interesting, despite endless explosions, so my mind wanders off for a few seconds here and there.
I'll continue with 'Iron Man 2' tonight.
I liked it and rank it better than RotJ, which I found a bit ridiculous. Star Wars (77) and TESB are by far the two best films in the series. But TFA is good. I actually liked Daisy Ridley a lot and am excited to see what she can do in Ep VIII.
Ok, fair enough, it may give ROTJ a run for its money and it was pretty fun. I'm just not convinced by Ridley yet but I'm sure, now she's got the experience, she'll be great. May even just be me and on further viewings I could change how I feel about it (second viewings are always welcome).
More action and more humour than the first film, but a bit less enjoyable. Scarlett Johansson is a great addition, especially when she's in her black outfit and kicking some major ass. Rourke is a chilling yet campy villain ('I want my burd'). Sam Rockwell hams it up but he's an actor I've always liked. I really enjoy the sequence in Monaco, being a motorsports fan. The final battle has some great moments of badassery from Downey Jr and Don Cheadle. Any soundtrack with some AC/DC is a good one in my book.
Thor (2011)
Gorgeous film to look at. Great special effects with lots of colours everywhere lighting up the screen. Hemsworth is a bit wooden but still quite the badass. The real man of the show is Hiddleston as Loki, one of the most likeable villains I know of. Always a pleasure to see Hopkins and Skarskgard, and of course Elba and Ray Stevenson in small roles). Some great action scenes: the attack of the frosty planet and Thor taking down the SHIELD guards while trying to retrieve his hammer.
Tomorrow I'll continue with 'Captain America: The First Avenger'.
I prefer the latter 2. Before Sunset is my favourite.
Thrilling, the cast (especially Grant) shines as always, and it's one of the most exciting entries of Hitchcock's.
I have the 50th Anniversary Bluray release, this film stands up incredibly well. A genuine precursor to Bond, Herman thunderous score is classic everything about this film is classic.
