Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I finally bothered to watch transformer the last knight. What a shit show even ny transformers standards. It's like it's written by 2 people with very different ideas on what the movie is. One is trying to make it dramatic and full of peril killing millions of people. The other is making robots do a broad range of the worst comedy lines in years.

Then they introduced headmasters only to never actually use them so even fan bois got nothing

Waste of time
 
Saw IT. I’d give it a solid 8.5

The kids friendships were great and exactly what I was hoping for. Just like Stranger Things. Trashmouth was great.

I don’t know what exactly to think about Pennywise himself. There was a lot of stuff that wasn’t in the book, but there were a lot of nods to the book as well with him which was cool. I thought today’s technology was really useful for him because they could make more of the crazy stuff happen and everything looked more real. I’m not sure I understand any reviews that say IT wasn’t scary...it’s was definitely scary. It just had some very good comedy and recurring themes of friendship and growing up throughout that prevented it from being a non-stop exhausting fright fest type of movie. All scenes in the barrens were excellent, including jumping in, chicken fighting, checking out Bev and the closing scene was excellent.

Characters I thought they absolutely nailed that the first movie completely missed on were Bowers and Bev’s dad. Was really happy about that because the cruelty of those two characters is very useful to the plot and foils the characters. They also got the Georgie scene pretty well and
his recurring theme in the movie was done well.

I thought it was interesting that they consolidated the events into the 80’s because in the book they occurred in the 50’s or 60’s and the adult versions were the 80’s. They also, as someone mentioned earlier, turned Hanlon into a JAG rather than a key guy and
consolidated his adult research and knowledge on the city into Ben’s childhood knowledge on the town. As a reader of the book, this was a little distracting, but it was useful to the plot.

All in all...my hopes were really high and I was not disappointed. I want @kosis banned for his misleading review.

Man, if you thought this film was "definitely scary" then we are certainly not the same. From here on out I'm considering including both a typical rating, and a separate Jigo rating for you and all the lurking lightweights.
 
I didn't think It was that scary, but I've also read the book and seen the original TV miniseries, so it probably wasn't designed to scare someone like me.

I did think it was a very well made film, though.

I’m sorry you’re upset. But you can’t just go lying about movies.

It was terrifying. I’m still huddled in the corner of my flooded basement wearing a yellow raincoat.
 
Spider-Man: Homecoming - 9/10

Thought it was great. Keaton was awesome as the bad guy, and it was refreshing to see a villain who wasn't stupid (loved the scene where he put two and two together). Holland was equally great as Spider-Man. The only casting I really hated was Flash. He's supposed to be the asshole jock, but the guy they cast looked like he was no tougher than the nerds he picks on. He's like the same fucking height as Parker! Also no idea why the fuck Flash Thompson is on the academic decathlon team. I mean, they reference that he adds nothing to the team, but why the hell is he even there to begin with?

I loved loved loved that they didn't feel the need to show Uncle Ben get shot for the 467th time. Batman could take a cue from this. Everyone knows the origin story, and so they skipped right past that and told us a story of a Spider-Man who is young and just getting started, but already established as Spider-Man. I also really enjoyed the little home movie of Peter's that they show at the beginning that quickly chronicles the events of Civil War, or at least Spidey's involvement in it.

Stark's role in the film, despite the previews, wasn't significant. He was around enough to help move the plot forward when needed and provide a kind of father figure for Parker, but it's a Spider-Man movie and the finale of the film is all Spidey versus Vulture, which is the way it should have been.

The humor was on point too. The movie was funny throughout, which is perfectly in line with the source material. Spidey is a wise-cracker, and they translated that perfectly. I thought the Amazing Spider-Man movies were all right in that aspect of the character despite the other flaws, but the Raimi movies just utterly failed at adapting that aspect of the character. They were campy, to be sure, but Spidey himself was never funny and basically never dropped the little quips that he's famous for. The ending and post-credit scenes were great too.

All in all, definitely one of my favorite Marvel movies thus far. They nailed the character in a way that Sony never quite managed to, despite a couple of solid films.

My take on the Flash Thompson casting is that it's an update to current times.

The jock bully archetype doesn't exist anymore. The bullies are just normal looking guys, who happen to be dicks.

He's like the bully of a school of nerds so I think it fits. Their high school is selective for science afterall
 
Never got into superhero movies. Not sure what it is, but I just don't find any of them interesting.

I think the biggest thing is that I wasn't into comic books as a kid like you fucking dorks.
 
Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle - 7/10

Fun movie, good action, but very try-hard. The Elton John parts were wayyyy too many. The movie dragged on a bit. Still, I enjoyed this movie more than any of the last few Bond movies.

Never undersstood the appeal of reading Pa-Pow, Bang!, Ka-Pow.. shit gets boring after a while.

Super Hero movies are boring nowadays, but I used to love them as a kid.
 
Finally got around to seeing Spiderman: Homecoming.

Spiderman: Homecoming: 8.7/10.0

I really liked it. It took Marvel stepping in to aid in the production to finally get Spiderman 100% right.

I love that they nailed Peter as a kid. His idiot belief that had to keep his schedule clear for the Avengers was perfect. Peter acting like a typical dumb teenager with no frontal lobe by trying to bite off more than he could chew and engaging targets in crowded areas made sense. Still being a bit clumsy with his powers was also a nice touch. His motivations were also great in that they reflect the small world teenagers live in. The rest of the teenagers are written well and behave and talk like kids rather than kids reading adult dialogue. The Mary Jane set up was a pleasant surprise.

I like how the made the Vulture an intelligent villain with a real motivation beyond villainy. That he had some sense of right and wrong, by feeling he owed Peter a favor for saving his daughter's life, makes him more realistic. Keaton was great.

This film also had the right amount of Tony Stark. Overall, a great addition to the MCU.

You're right where I am with that one. Great, enjoyable Spider-Man movie that nails the character in a way the two previous attempts could not.

I agree about Keaton. The scene with him and Parker in the car was one of the best in the film.
