Was thinking of doing a review series after watching some films I've never seen before. Only blockbusters.
Might do Harry Potter. The sheer effort though seems like it wouldn't be worth it. There are loads... |

I just don't know anymore, LJ. I feel like the general standard of review has increased lately, makes me feel less need to write them. I will be continuing soon though, just to see if I still can.

Hell House LLC - 7/10
I love found footage movies. Something about the format makes it scarier to me than traditional films. The immersion I guess. Hell House is a good one. Watching the sequel right now. Doesn't seem as good. Shit acting. |

Is Captain Marvel supposed to be an over confident, conversationally combative douchebag?
Brie Larson was the wrong choice man, she just comes off as cunty. |

This is tough to watch without thinking Brie Larson just doesn't have to presence to pull off this character with that attitude.
This is Bonfire of the Vanities level casting here. |

She’s just a strong independent woman who doesn’t need your approval, man. Down with the patriarchy.

She pulls this face every five minutes that makes her look like a little girl who has been denied pocket money. I think it's supposed to show her as an angry, no-nonsense type but it's fucking dreadful.
Aside from the badly cast lead role this film suffers from very unusual pacing especially between scenes of adventure, levity and suddenly into "emotional" scenes that leave me apathetic and completely disinterested. The 90's references are really off, it's as though they had a list of things to achieve and somebody forgot to pop in some fun references so they just douse the soundtrack with crap and leave some questionable pop culture imagery lying around without so much as an attempt at coherency or celebration. Just stick her in a NIN t-shirt and waste minutes of prime time with cat material. This is worse than The Incredible Hulk so far. |

My biggest gripe with the movie, iirc, was the forced emotional beats with the friend, who was seemingly there solely to pilot the ship in the 3rd act. It felt tacked on and had zero heft to it.

Captain Marvel looks like shit all powered up.
She looks like The Flash and The Human Torch fucked a tiny super powered offspring into existence. I'm not paying for Endgame now. No chance. |

There's a good twenty minutes wasted on tears eyed reflections and emotional bonding at around the hour mark. From then on it's in and out of emotional turmoil every few minutes. It's awful. |

Captain Marvel - 1/4
I shouldn't be mad at the end of a film. When I'm mad at the end of a film I can't really forgive it. I feel safe in saying that this is the worst film Marvel have made since this all began. |

Luckily she doesn't really do much in the movie despite the "hype" of her joining the cast for that movie

She'll pull that face and say arrogant things numerous times so I think I'll just wait to see it on tv. Well done Marvel, you have successfully made a character so unlikeable that I now don't want to see how ten years of hard work turns out.
Fucking brilliant effort |

I admit that she prob makes that face in the short amount of screentime she gets.

Judging by her post-Oscar attitude that is just what her face looks like now.

Ronda Rousey - and I honestly mean this - would probably have done a better job if the character is supposed to be a jerk with insane strength and a hell of a chip on her shoulder.

I only read the character when she was "Miss Marvel", and she seemed very much just generic "single-white-female-in-the-city" type.....

Well being a dick to people doesn't make a very good impression and she was just running around being a discourteous turd for most of the movie.
At least with Iron Man it's blatantly obvious and entirely acknowledged that he is a cock. I wasn't aware that Marvel needed yet another acerbic arsehole in the Avengers team when it seems like they are mostly numbered by bearers of that description. The difference is that you are given reasons to like them. This one starts out with attitude and carries it through to the end, buffered in it's entirety by some crawlingly awful attempts at cat humour or "hey we're all dumb and weak, thank God Carol Danvers got here!" type "comedy". It's substantially worse than every DC film too. So that's pretty impressive actually. |

I'm a pretty big Brie Larson fan. I was one of the few who thought she could do this. I think a lot of blame lies at the feet of the director/s really. Somebody thought that face was a great idea... and for that I just can't forgive.

Peelers- 5/10 - It was a zombie movie that takes place in a strip club that's built on top of an oil mine or something. The oil infects 4 Mexican miners. They go to the strip club. Zombie stuff happens. The movie was shot good. It wasnt shitty looking. There were titties. And there are two scenes where the strippers come out for there stage routine and they do some shit that is hilarious. One is suppose to be a baby and she's wearing a diaper and the other is called Thunder Cunt.
SPOILER: show Other than all that, this movie wasnt great. THe kills were ok. Nothing amazing. |
