[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Justice League

 

[BlackFox]

Pacific Rim: Uprising - 4.5/10 Totally flat sequel that had several cringe moments and some of the worst forced comedy for some time, also the most hilarious abrupt ending Ive seen.

Pacific Rim: Uprising

It's a movie with a severe case of sequelitis. It started off kinda promising, they did a decent job on following through with the events of the first one. After about 30 minutes, it fully becomes a Saturday morning cartoon that Nickelodeon made into live action. John Boyega and maybe Cailee Spaeny was at least trying which was something, but most of the cast was on autopilot (pun intended). Scott Eastwood was doing a poor imitation of his father which was kinda painful to watch. And the Charlie Day/Burn Gorman comedy hour lasted only a second before that got annoying. First half of the movie was trying to go for that Enders Game vibe, but they never follow through with it. The 2nd half of the movie is pretty much a video game monster battle and there's no room for character or story or anything that made the first one so spacial. Apparently there is a villain in the movie and when that gets revealed, it becomes laughable because it's something that would happen in Power Rangers. Overall, it's a forgettable mindless action movie with giant robots.
5/10

A fun adventure movie I should revisit.

Have to admit I hadn't seen it in quite a few years but it was still entertaining.

7/10

Aside from a couple of issues, I'm struggling to find a criticism that couldn't also be applied to the first film. For the moment, it was a blast. John Boyega is a bona fide movie star. I was worried it would feel like a cheap imitation, and it felt like a true successor. And the trailers don't give away nearly as much as you thought.

Somewhere out there, Martin Thomas is nodding in approval.

I didn't like it. Felt like it was trying too hard to be stylish.

Iron Man (2008)

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've seen this movie. It was really neat seeing how the Marvel Cinematic Universe began, especially having seen most of their other films.

Overall I really enjoyed it, I can definitely understand why it's considered one of the best. It was a less complex story than some of the more recent ones, but it almost had to be (and it's pulled off really well). I enjoyed the more grounded and realistic feel this movie had, it's kind of funny that this now exists in the same universe as something like Guardians of the Galaxy!

I really enjoy what I've seen of Jon Favreau's work, he seems like a talented guy who understands how to make interesting characters.
