The Dark Knight was way too drat long, could have saved Harvey Dent/Two Face for a sequel instead of shoehorning him in with The Joker, and although Heath Ledger was alright in it, people emptied and shriveled up their e-balls ejaculating all over the Internet like his performance was the second, third, and fourth coming of Jesus Christ.

It was quite boring.

Jack Nicholson acting all huffy and puffy about not being asked to be Joker and then acting like a bitch after Ledger died having made Nicholson's performance look like dogshit was pretty infuriating

you're right of course but was it actually critically acclaimed by any human being under 20, i mean all the YA book movies look and feel exactly the same, like they were designed with marketing first and then they worked backwards from there

84% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics Consensus: Thrilling and superbly acted, The Hunger Games captures the dramatic violence, raw emotion, and ambitious scope of its source novel.

also if people didn't keep comparing it favourable to the disastrous prequels; it's the 4th best star wars movie by some distance

I call myself a lapsed Star Wars fan the way some people call themselves lapsed Catholics and I dug it. It really was thoroughly mediocre but it hit all the right notes when it mattered and I could not stop laughing at how thoroughly Abrams was ironically and unironically using those RLM videos as a playbook from the opening shot onwards.

Sicario is a very tightly made film that is tensely visceral in almost every shot in the movie and supremely topical. The concepts and dynamics it's exposing aren't exactly new if you are at all informed about Mexico and the goings on within but it's still an excellent movie.

Interstellar made me angry. Every single crop is dying from one single blight. Think about that for a second. Tomatoes, potatoes, wheat, corn, cotton--it's all dying. Um, no. That's why there are people who study agriculture--to prevent things like that.

The Martian had plot holes the size of Mars. Why is nothing tied down or secured? If he's a botanist, why isn't there already a greenhouse? Why doesn't he have all kinds of seeds to try in the Martian soil? Dumb.

the characters didn't have much depth. it emphasized violence but not really its impact on people. the police officer and his kid weren't developed much yet they seemed to be the movie's backbone I guess

oh and Benicio del Toro's character storming the house at the end and killing everyone felt unrealistic. I was expecting a movie along the lines of Traffic but it ended up more like Taken or a Vin Diesel flick or something

I was also annoyed by the tunnel scene how it kept needlessly switching from night vision, heat vision, and actual vision

The Dark Knight Rises. I spent the whole movie laughing at Tom Hardy's bo' selecta Marilyn Manson impression. What a poo poo pile.

Also Skyfall. Plot holes everywhere, ending on loving Home Alone. Can't believe all the rave reviews for this piece of poo poo.

Some of the newer super hero movies, but they are still way better than most older superhero/comic book movies so whatever.

Star Wars was enjoyable but too much of a rehash of the first movies.

That stupid kingsman movie that everyone loved for some reason. The church scene was cool, that's about it.

Mad Max: Fury Road. 100% style over substance.

The Martian. A book whose entire thing was "the details", and then make a movie where you completely do away with all the details.
