Single Sentence Reviews
« on: July 15, 2019, 04:20:56 PM »
Annihilation - Interesting sci-fi movie uses being cerebral to excuse off-the-rails ending  ???
Hellboy - Arguably too true to the comics and spends too much time in exposition.  Enjoyable portrayal regardless.   :)
Alita Battle Angel - So much potential!  Strong movie that fizzles into a non-ending.   :-\
Shazam - Second best DC movie since Nolan's Batman, but admittedly slept through part of it.   :)
I Am Mother - Decent man vs machine scifi, but a little extreme at the end  :)
Batman vs TMNT - Surprisingly good crossover!  Motivations make sense.  Splinter isn't a tool.   :D
Cold Pursuit - Liam Neeson ineptly serial kills gang members and somehow avoids the consequences  :)
Fighting with my Family - Great biopic about how Paige became a WWE wrestler.  Probably sanitized, but still enjoyable :D
Glass - Frustrating, but gotta finish the trilogy.   :(
The Mule - Fantastic story of an old gardener who runs drugs to provide for his daughter  ;D
Finding Steve McQueen - Fun heist movie (based on a true story)  :)
Stan & Ollie - Sad recount of how Laurel and Hardy repeatedly betrayed each other by trying to look out for each other.   Impressive acting! :)
