Watched Draft Day, I had to suspend disbelief because the deals were dumb as hell, except the very first one, rest would never happen.
4/10

I watched fury over the weekend. I thought it was pretty good, but the Germans couldn't aim for shit and the ending was IMO pretty unbelievable.

Fury was fucking horrible. 1/10 I turned it off halfway through.
Just a bunch of shooting and fucked up deaths with little to no plot.

Greatest bastardization of a book/story ever. Turning a bleak dystopian future into ARNOLD THE SUPERHERO and over-the-top action set-pieces. Brilliant!!!justincredible;1704583 wrote:The Running Man - 12/10

Those of us that read the book thought the same as you, it could possibly be the most changed book to movie ever, up there with the Jurassic Park book/movie (they both had dinosaurs and the same characters/island, that's about it).

Watched Jon Wick. 6.5/10.
It appealed to the lover of lots of action and gratuitous violence. Not quite Tarantino-level gore, but still its fair share. However, the lines were a little weak and cheesy at times, and the plot was pretty thin ... mostly just enough to set up an excuse for all the shooting.
Still, it's enjoyable. McDonalds for viewers: not a ton of quality, but it was still a good time.

You're insane. Fury was phenomenal. 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, so don't argue that I'm in the minority.SportsAndLady;1704428 wrote:Fury was fucking horrible. 1/10 I turned it off halfway through.

I almost forgot "Spongebob: Sponge Out of Water."
Extremely disappointing. Not that I was looking forward to it or loved the show, but I'll have a solid laugh or two when the boys are watching the show. Most of the time, these animated shows deliver on the big screen in SOME capacity. Spongebob did not. Theater was packed, laughs were at a premium and no one seemed real entertained.
4/10

Meh I thought it was entertaining at best. I had to suspend a lot of disbelief and the characters were pretty one dimensional. My dad was military so I did appreciate that aspect and seeing what goes on inside a tank. I had high expectations and it left me a little flat.SnotBubbles;1704953 wrote:You're insane.

Watched Jackie Brown for the first time last night. 6.5 of 10. Not as good as other Tarantino flicks, but I enjoyed it.

Yeah, I liked it a good bit, but it didn't quite have that "WHAM!" appeal that some of his stuff does.Automatik;1705048 wrote:Watched Jackie Brown for the first time last night. 6.5 of 10. Not as good as other Tarantino flicks, but I enjoyed it.

I LOVE Jackie Brown. You can't go into it expecting Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. It's a totally different type of movie. Pam Grier and SLJ were great in it. If I had to watch a Taratino flick over and over and over, Jackie Brown would be it.Automatik;1705048 wrote:Watched Jackie Brown for the first time last night. 6.5 of 10.

The Maze Runner - 8/10
I admit, I didn't have a ton of expectation, as I simply haven't heard THAT much about it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
