| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 93 | 1 | (full review) - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON allows for more than just action sequence after action sequence. Although those are great too, particularly Iron Man trying to tame one of The Hulk's out of control rampages, but what makes the movie really work is the exploration of the character's relationships, interactions, trusts, mistrusts, powers, and weaknesses. | | Crimson Peak | 2015 | 88 | 2 | (full review) - Please don't go into Crimson Peak looking for a Blumhouse Productions type horror movie, cause you won't find it, you'll be disappointed and you'll want to mock this film, which won't be fair. Crimson Peak is being categorized as a Gothic Romance and that's what you'll find. Which suits me perfectly, as the film pays a bit of homage to my very favorite movie of all time - Alfred Hitchcock's REBECCA (1940) | | Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | 2016 | 75 | 3 | (full review) - I was very engaged with the entire movie. Thought it was visually artistic, the philosophical and politically relevant plots were well written. Loved when Superman gave Batman the cut out the vigilante crap speech, accompanied by a menacing warning look, before shooting straight up like a rocket. Then we cut to Batman giving his signature under-eyed masked stare, which clearly said, Superman, you're not the boss of me. | | Man of Steel | 2013 | 47.6 | 4 | (full review) - This Superman Reboot, Man of Steel produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer, directed by Zack Snyder embodies all of these essential elements with an emphasis on the alien part of things. The first perhaps 20 minutes of the film is spent on Krypton with Kal-El's parents Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer), just hours before the complete destruction of the planet. They've just given birth to their son the old-fashioned way, where everyone else on Krypton is genetically engineered in pods to be whatever they are engineered to be, without choice. |
