Rate the last movie you watched v. 1

When We First Met -- 8/10

Cute story. I liked the little bit of a twist at the end. Adam Devine is always great, but I was a little bit disappointed it wasn't funnier. Since he was in it, I expected to be laughing a lot, but I only had one laugh out loud in the whole thing. But aside from that, it was a good movie for what it was.

 

John Wick 3 - 7.5/10
I just think it was too frenetic for my taste and the story could be better explored, although i think John Wick 2 was much better. Maybe i should watch it again. But either way, it is a good and cool movie.

 

I watched Jackal, this cheesy Bruce Wills / Sidney Portier movie about the Russian Mob in Moscow from 1997. It was bad and the Russian accents were all so terrible, I couldnt finish it. 3/10

 

Fate of the Furious (F&F 8)
8/10
Yes, these movies are getting more and more ridiculous, but I still find them entertaining. Charlize Theron makes a wonderful villain

 

Death Race: Above Anarchy
2/10

Not a recent movie I watched, but still fresh in my mind from months ago. I loved the 2008 movie with Jason Statham as well as its official sequel, so I thought I'd enjoy this one. Boy, was I wrong. It had a decent opening, but it quickly got insanely graphic and sex driven. Merely 8 minutes in, it's like I'm watching the goreist horror movie ever and the scene is still burned in my mind. I couldn't get halfway through before I had to shut it off.

At least here's the takeaway...I can replay that scene whenever I feel any urges, and, poof...they're gone

 

Spiderman: Far From Home 7/10

I really liked this move more than the first one and I loved the modern update for Mysterio.

 

The last movie I watched was the Babadook. I'd give it a 7/10.. Ending is a twist and good...

 

Midsommar... I'm honestly not sure how to rate it out of 10. Maybe a 6?

It was really beautiful made, lots of visually stunning shots and editing and direction. But the story itself fell flat for me in a major way.

It was fairly predictable, and while I was interested in what was happening throughout the story, the ending didn't pay off in my opinion. I kind of expected/wanted more. But given how beautifully done it was, I can't say it was bad.

Basically, these guys sum up all my thoughts pretty perfectly:

 

V for Vendetta: 8/10. The message appeals to me greatly and I enjoyed the writing, but some scenes felt really rushed.

EDIT: 7/10. After sleeping on the movie, some things about it confuse me.

 

Bad Times at the El Royale
5/10

Not very realistic. Where were all the cops the entire time..that one cop had no backup the entire time??
the cult scene..that was poor..cults are dumb but that one was beyond dumb.
