Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part II

[OrbitalDawn]

Swiss Army Man - IDon'tKnow/10. Extremely odd movie, but quite endearing in a way.

Independence Day: Resurgence - 3/10. Some parts looked cool. Garbage, though.

Now You See Me 2 (2016) 7/10

Pretty good; stays true to the 1st installment. Really enjoyed the "card" scene. Still prefer the 1st one though. New chick that replaced Isla in this sequel was okay as well.

I managed to watch till after the "jet ski" to the next island but couldn't do much more. Did it get any better?

Yeah, it did for me. As I said, still very odd, but there is a progression. I'll totally get why many people would think it's crap, though.

Magnificent Seven (2016) - 7/10

A good old western. Can't really fault it except that somehow Denzel Washington didn't fit quite in...or something. Anyway, really enjoyed it.

Some funny parts, goodish

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) 7/10

Maybe from all the bad reviews I expect worse, like Ghostbusters worse. But it was very much a sequel and very much the same feel as the original.

Citizen Soldier (2016) 5/10

Kinda meh.

 

[RazedInBlack]

The Darkness (2016) 2/10

Annoying kid alert! Extremely annoying is all I remember.

The two points is for Kevin Bacon

Is this a movie based on his life or a documentary?

Movie Based on his life. Was actually good, I think the actor did a pretty decent performance.

Eye in the Sky (2015) 8/10

One word...captivating...start to end. Excellent; really well paced & structured. The late Alan Rickman & Helen Mirren own their roles.
Throughly enjoyed it.

SA Director Gavin Hood casts tons of locals as well. Shot in Cape Town.

Definitely worth a watch.

And he still has the acting chops appearing as the Flight Commander.

I.T. (2016) 6/10

Distinctively average thriller. Plot is generic & predictable. Worth a watch one time. Pity the last few movies of Pierce Brosnan have been subpar.
