More like Captain AmeriCANT. Yep, that's all I got. Starts great, but it's full of wasted potential, some major characters with terrible development, and overall not a fantastic piece of cinema. But not awful. –Jon Berry • July 29 2011, 1:31am EST
The movie featured all the characters of the first film but not a single new joke. Cliche driven bumpkin-as-spy plot mixed with NASCAR. I would have preferred sliding down a barbed-wire bannister into a pool of lemon juice. –Steve West • July 2 2011, 12:41pm EST
What a disappointment. Ryan Reynolds would have been a much better Wally West than Hal Jordan. The plot was convoluted and annoying. –Scott Horowitz • June 30 2011, 4:38pm EST
Now that's more like it. Part 2 is what the seventh Harry Potter always should have been: Epic, exciting, revelatory, and (mostly) relentless. It could stand to have a little more emotional catharsis at the end, but it's pretty good fun. I'm satisfied. –Scott Hardie • October 27 2011, 10:59pm EST
With only a few worthwhile moments buried in a huge, smoking dogpile of inconceivability, this film ranks as one of the poorest I've seen. Instantaneous knowledge of the complex workings of futuristic equipment abounds. It's visual remarkableness is heavily outweighed by it's stunning lack of likeability. –Steve West • March 13 2011, 9:00am EST
I really enjoy this one. This was better than the last 2 made. If you haven't seen it go see it. Awesome movie –Chris Lemler • June 9 2011, 4:35pm EST
While a step in the right direction after the dreary 2nd and 3rd titles, this streamlined sequel is sadly just as lacking in the sense of humor that distinguished the original. It's fun but not funny, settling everything with a sword instead of a quip. –Scott Hardie • June 11 2011, 10:59pm EST • 1 reply
Bill Shatner's interviews with the other Star Trek captains are sometimes shallow (Chris Pine has little to say about acting because his career is about 5 minutes old), sometimes bizarre (Avery Brooks IS from outer space and can apparently only communicate via improvised jazz duets), and sometimes surprisingly profound (Kate Mulgrew gets Shatner to admit how terrified he is of death). Trekkers will love it because they eat up the tiniest crumbs that fall from the Star Trek table, but non-fans won't find much of interest. –Scott Hardie • November 5 2011, 4:38pm EST
If you saw the first movie, you pretty much saw this one. It had a little more of the gross out effect, but nonetheless made me laugh. –Scott Horowitz • June 6 2011, 11:14am EST • 1 reply
David Hyde Pierce and Clayne Crawford are great in this darkly comic thriller, each one trying to outsmart the other and survive the night. The movie's spell is broken by needless third-act twists; it was pretty good with a narrower focus up until then. –Scott Hardie • November 5 2011, 10:08pm EST
You can almost hear the bottom of the superhero barrel being scraped. This two-hour preview for The Avengers is not compelling and cuts away every time it starts to build momentum, but it does possess some charm and beautiful designs for Asgard. –Scott Hardie • May 15 2011, 8:03am EST • 3 replies
X-Men First Class is a great comic book movie. it went back to the feel of the first one where they made you feel that mutants can exist in our world. The cast was superb, and even thought they ignore continuity, it was done very well –Scott Horowitz • June 13 2011, 1:51pm EST • 5 replies |
