Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Saw Valerian last night: 7/10. I am a big fifth element fan. This is the most ambitious film visually i have seen for a long time. The visuals are stunning and the aliens are truly alien and exotic. It is very french and it is highly flawed.

The main things that let it down are the dialogue, its obsession with its lead characters romance and a stunningly bad performance from Dane Dehanne (who make keanu reeves look like he has range).

Cara delevingne is excellent and the plot is good but the forced romance is just jarring and dehanne inability to play the charming macho hero is catastrophic

Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you said. To me it was a swing and a miss, but a highly enjoyable one just because of how ambitious it was. I love how they tried to push boundaries in a way that most big budget sci fi (I'm looking at you JJ Abrams) is too scared to do.

But dear lord the dialogue is atrocious. And if you want a Han Solo as the main character, why the hell do you get Dean Dehane?

Maybe it's because I kind of knew what was going to happen. Maybe it was because I watched it on redbox instead of in the theater. I don't know what it was, but Kong: Skull Island was kind of... meh.

Fell asleep within the first fifteen, woke up during the fight in the graveyard

Saw it in theaters.
 
Watched the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel. I'll give it an 8/10. It's roughly as good as the first. Probably not quite as good, but close enough. I also love that films like this can actually be made and find an audience these days. I can't really imagine this film being made a decade ago and succeeding.

I'll also add that I appreciated that they payed off on a lot of the ideas from the first movie in the sequel.

Batista is fucking great, by the way. He's stolen an absurd amount of scenes between the two Guardians movies.
 
Wind River was EXCELLENT.

Jeremy Renner will be mentioned around Oscars season. Elizabeth Olson is definitely the talented Olson sister. The story, scenery and acting kept me very engaged.

9/10. See it.
 
Finally saw the second Independence Day... holy shit, was that bad. They barely even tried.

I mean to see Logan Lucky, but never got around to it.

Kingsman 2 comes out in a few weeks.
 
Bill N Ted's Excellent Adventure- 7.126/10

This rating is about 5 points of nostalgia. I was an 80s kid and this movie was very much about that. It was also filmed where I grew up (suburbs of Phoenix) so seeing places that were part of my youth growing up was a little trippy; I had forgotten they filmed it there. Was also pleasantly surprised how much of the humor still worked. Missy- I mean mom- jokes kind of carried it. The craziest part is how one of the film's major sarcastic messages- that even complete morons can succeed in America- has come to prove so true. The plot itself is also a surprising mindfuck- if 'Rufus' never comes back, they never form and never change the world. So what future did they come back from? Also, the 'future' they land in- was that when they planted the seed in the future in regards to the 'Wild Stallions' changing the world? I mean, they showed up, muttered two phrases, and those two phrases become the basis of society. Philip K Dick would have been proud, probably.
