Default Wolverine

Saw it last night, was better than I had expected. 3.5/4 would recommend. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hollywood's output has been underwhelming, is this the time to break my sabbatical from the movie theater and watch something awesome?

Better than expected, but not brilliant? Inquiring minds want to know... I'd rather hear it from people that have been than plugged positive newspaper reviews [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Star Trek Into Darkness
Iron Man 3
Man of Steel
Pacific Rim

To name a few 4 star movies this spring/summer. 1, 3, and 4 are what I'd call "brilliant", Wolverine was "very good" like Iron Man 3. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oz is worth mentioning too. Never thought a movie about a con-artist pimping out wonderland would do a classic justice so perfectly.

underwhelming is an understatement [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

out of the latest movies I saw: IR3, Wolfy, Rim etc etc, the only one I would consider re-watching is the Lone Ranger. Also, I give B+ to Jack the Giantslayer for a creative way to kill a giant [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Other than that, I haven't seen good movies in a WHILE. Specially those that I would want to re-watch since the times of LOTR, original Pirates, X-Men 1+2, Mummy 1+2, Matrix, Gladiator.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

What's the point of seeing a movie in the theaters if not for the sound/visual effects?

The story of a movie doesn't change if you see it at the theater as opposed to on DVD.

One of us knows how to get our money's worth out of visiting a movie theater. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The Lone Ranger? If it wasn't for the mistake made of seeing After Earth, I'd of put that movie as worst flick seen year. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I didn't get to see Jack, their advertisement campaign failed and it came and went before I realized it, not gonna see a movie like that on the small screen.

X-Men 1+2? X-Men First Class trumps all of those by a long shot.

The only thing that was 'terrible' about Pacific Rim was that it wasn't 3+ hours.

The Chinese and the Soviets got killed off too early IMO. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
