Iron man 2, amazing movie

[IdolEyes787]

Legion

I'd actually always wanted to see this movie but up until now never got around to it .I guess this was one case where I should have checked the IMDB rating (5.0) first.

Monumentally bad and not in a entertaining sort of way.
The best way that I could describe it is a unholy cross between Terminator 2 and Demon Knight/Feast but making even less sense.

Zero characterization ,which isn't necessarily death to something like this( see above examples) even though it helps if you actually care about what is happening to who .Far worse is that very little is ever actually happening and when it does it is either so blatantly stolen from better sources or so totally ludicrous (Arch-Angel as T-1000. I'm thinking that maybe if God really,really wanted someone dead he could do better than send Martin Keamy from Lost flapping around with some wings and brandishing a tricked-out mace I mean even Death does a better job of it in the Final Destination series and he's only ...Death.)that it makes you grimace.

Not good good enough to be good ,not bad enough to be good.
Seriously where do they find these idiot writers?Do the studios troll the roads looking for short buses ?

Avoid at all costs.Giveaway your first born if necessary to do so but avoid at all costs.

The Kid - Charlie Chaplin
An excellent movie

Mary and Max (2009)

In the mid-1970's, a homely, friendless Australian girl of 8 picks a name out of a Manhattan phone book and writes to him; she includes a chocolate bar. She's Mary Dinkle, the only child of an alcoholic mother and a distracted father. He's Max Horowitz, living alone in New York, overweight, subject to anxiety attacks. He writes back, with chocolate. Thus begins a 20-year correspondence, interrupted by a stay in an asylum and a few misunderstandings.

The film is claymation, but it's not a kid's movie (although a precocious child could enjoy/identify with it too). It is gently humourous, bittersweet and filled with love for its characters. A solid 9/10.

IdolEyes, it had so much potential. I don't know what happened.

Also what was the point of the child?

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - Everyone was telling me this film sucks and how they are really old and like the original film better.But i ended up enjoying this remake.Again for me, Not scary.I enjoy other aspects of the film.Like seeing a legend return.He does look a little alien-ish but that does not take away from the movie.Seven/Ten

I come away from a lot of mediocre or outright bad movies thinking that they had potential to be so much better with a little more focus and character exposition and a whole lot less pointless action and just plain stupid.
You don't care about people that you pass on the street as much as people you know and the same thing applies to character in movies.You can spend all day carving up, blowing up and tearing up cartoons and none of that will have an iota the effect of putting one character that you have an invested interest in peril.A point seemingly totally lost on the current generation of film makers.

Create characters and then tell their story .Simple right?

About the child ,supposedly ,for no known,apparent or logical reason he/she ( they couldn't even be bothered to specify ffs) was the "hope of mankind " . makes zero sense since Michael himself said that truly Good" people were already among us(Jeep) and if he/she was another Messiah then that would be the Will of God and not something that God was looking to destroy wouldn't it?
More likely what I alluded to earlier ,just a cheap poorly executed rip-off of Terminators 1 and 2 with God and Angels subbing for Skynet and the evil machines even down to te last shot of the car loaded with guns driving away into an uncertain future.

really what bothered me the most though was the incredible stupidity of it all.
I'm God .I want a unborn baby dead .I don't send shark-toothed possessed people or even avenging Angels to do the job, I simply cause a miscarriage or drop a tree on the mother . End of problem .Case solved.
