We caught 3 movies while in Florida...
I'm not a comic book guy. I love comic book movies. The X-Men have always intrigued me, and every one of the movies left me wanting more. This one did the same. I don't know what more I actually want, but there must be something (I'm not too tough to entertain).
I will say I loved the Gambit character. Always one of my more favorite X-Men just for the sheer ridiculousness of a guy who has the power to throw flaming playing cards.
My rating: Barely good.
I'd heard this was a great drama/murder mystery/ plot twist. While looking at our movie choices, we thought it showed some promise and gave it a try. We loved it. Great story line. Some enjoyable acting. We got what felt like a little "behind the scenes" view into investigative reporting and political power struggles. Ben Afleck usually makes me cringe as an actor, but I liked him in this one. He played his part well. It did have a great twist at the end to it all, but the ending was a tad abrupt. In the end, that didn't take away from what was a great movie.
This one will likely be in the dollar theaters soon, it it isn't already. It would be a great date movie if you're parents looking for a night away from the kids.
My rating: Great.
I love J.J. Abrams. It may be close to a man-crush. Damon Lindelof was a co-creator with Abrams and current executive producer on LOST. When I found out these two were going to take a stab at a new run for the Star Trek series, my hopes were pretty high.
They nailed it with this movie. To actually put new actors as characters that are so closely connected to Nimoy, Shattner, and others is tricky, and they did it without me trying to compare. The action and storyline was top-notch. It had me laughing throughout. Zachary Quinto (Spock) and Simon Pegg (Scottie) were especially enjoyable. Go see it. NOW!
My Rating: Fantastic!
