The first Iron Man movie was the best of the lot (particularly given the subsequent impact it's had), followed by the Winter Soldier. The rest have ranged from mildly entertaining to boring.

I think the first Iron Man is decent and the other 2 are poor. Still think now I like Thor more than Iron Man.

Overall though I think the Marvel movies have improved as they've gone along. The recent ones are easily some of the best tent pole blockbusters of recent years.

Watched Good Will Hunting for the first time yesterday afternoon and it was really good, recommended if you haven't seen it. Sat down to look for a movie on Netflix and saw it had been recently added and I somehow hadn't managed to see it yet.

Had a Bridges double and watched True Grit and RIPD last night.

True Grit holds up pretty well, the attention to detail in the dialogue is outstanding and the characters are very watchable.

RIPD is an absolute clusterfuck, I don't know how it got made. So much epic lame.

Segway

True Grit is such an underrated film. Can't wait to see Bridges in Hell or High Water.

Burnwinter

Hmm, yeah, that looks interesting but I thought Sicario (writer Taylor Sheridan's previous film) was vastly overrated and had a crummy script.

Watching Snowden. Shitting my pants.

MistaT

Have to say I was put off by the Snowden trailer, and it's oddly made me more critical of Snowden. Lot of contrasting reports to his character out there and while many don't care about who he is, I do find myself intrigued by that as I think it's central to his ability to be pardoned.

Burnwinter

Don't think he should've made the film, it looks quite bad. The Snowden story should always have been about what was leaked not the man that did it.

Probably better off watching Citizenfour.

Another movie i could not complete. Maybe its just me, but i found going slow and dull. May give it another try someday. Still better than 3:10 to Yuma though. That was laughably bad IMO

Thor is definitely better in my opinion.

Big fan of the Marvel movies myself, they're usually quite immersive. Guardians of the Galaxy was great.

This is pretty great if you haven't seen it yet. Hemsworth has good comic timing.

Really liked Magnificent Seven. Another good Denzel Washington film.

I just watched a trailer for a new M Night Shyamalan film called Split; a down-to-earth drama where a car full of teenaged girls get kidnapped by a man with 23 personality disorders. It took less than a minute before someone shouted: "He can change his body chemistry with his thoughts!"

I mean you just want to punch him in the mouth.

Burnwinter

😆 Holy shit.

Shyamalan needs to don a hair shirt and spend a bit of time working as the junior creative partner of someone who can keep the reins of a premise and a story.

No country for old men was fantastic.

Next up Zodiac.

That was the advert before most youtube videos about 2 months back. Looked good.

Watched Ghostbusters last night, childhood memories remain in tact. Other than that it was the sort of decent Hollywood comedy you'd expect from Paul Feig albeit with a bit more action. I thought Feig actually did really well incorporating the CGI stuff into the movie. Leslie Jones was disappointing but I thought the other 4 leads were all pretty funny.

Two great movies from one of the greatest ever years for film.

Just watched the magnificent seven. Quite a silly movie. I like such movies but this one was too long too.
