I enjoyed it! It was weaker than XMen First Class, but I might have had an equivalent good time to Thor, although Thor was a stronger movie. GL has a better female lead (damning with faint praise, but she was written with stuff to
do,
unlike Natalie Portman's character or even Mystique, and the less said about January Jones the better).
Ryan Reynolds is ridiculously charismatic and easy on the eyes. It wasn't deep, but I'm fond of it.
And I wasn't the most dorktastic person there! Some kids showed up in masks, at which point my GL t-shirt is bush league.
I really liked
Super 8
! It was totally a throwback movie, and although I did appreciate that
the bulk of the movie was focused on the characters, and the alien wasn't actually driving the human drama,
I was also glad that
there was quite a bit of alien action in the latter half.
Outtakes from Bridesmaids. Very funny but NSFW.
I really liked the sex scenes with Jon Hamm, and the woman improv-ing on man-smells.
Just read that Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing the Necromancer as well as Smaug.
The Necromancer will be in The Hobbit?
So far this weekend, I've seen Thor and Super 8. I enjoyed both, but I'm not ready to say that Thor was all that.
Super 8 really did feel like a Speilberg throwback except the alien seemed to be the little brother of the one from Cloverfield.
I hate it when the special effects in one movie remind me of the effects from another. Or, you can recognize the special effects creators before you see the credits.
Saw X-Men, liked it OK. It was sort of too serious for me, while also being sort of too goofy. Possibly my favorite part was
Rebecca Romijn.
My roommate just told me to avoid Super 8 & that it's worse than Cloverfield.
