This is an extremely amusing and, IMO, accurate critique of Tomorrowland. You might get a kick out of it.

I find "Everlong" to be the most relistenable of the three tracks you mentioned. It's overplayed, but it doesn't get old for me the way "Smells Like Teen Spirit" does. I don't know what I'd choose for top track, though. Maybe Alice In Chains' "Man in the Box."

It's a fun song, though. Definitely hits close to the same spot as Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION.

Or, alternatively, to only fire from parked cars.

This goes doubly for movies like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It is not suddenly a feminist story of empowerment because the female who was previously depicted being raped, subjugated, and demeaned gets to enact revenge later on. I feel like this is a case of artists trying to have their cake and eat it, too, and

Netflix's Daredevil nearly ripped it off wholesale. Still the best thing that show's ever done, though.

Alternatively, it'd look like Hot Fuzz, which is ten times as entertaining and without the shitty after(during?)taste.

Someone's never heard of contemporary American hero Jared Kushner…

I don't really buy your argument. They may have been conceived as one film, but they are, in actuality, two. And it doesn't really make sense, even if it were to be viewed as one whole film, to divide a work into substantive, meaningful sections and empty, technically-focused sections. Ideally, the former should

It really doesn't get enough love.

Yeah, it's weird. I've seen your last sentence echoed here and elsewhere, and I don't disagree. It's bad, but it fucking commits to it. I thought the climax, where an entire poor shanty community is utterly demolished during a humvee chase, was legitimately deplorable, but at the same I still watched it with my

No man, that movie is bad.

I'm a big fan of it, too. Cruise really only becomes a savior in the last ninety seconds of the film, which feel like they were tacked on by a nervous studio exec. Before that, though, it's a pretty high quality old-fashioned epic. Cruise is quite good, and the pace is unusually quiet and contemplative for an

The Sarah Connor Chronicles did a decent job exploring that universe, though they eventually started tripping over themselves, as well.

I was definitely baffled when they announced her casting, but I was pleasantly surprised with her performance. There was no saving that script, though.

Gynisys also feels like a TV movie. That bus flip is hilariously terrible. It's still crazy to me that Cameron's movie from 1991 has better special effects than 90 percent of modern day blockbusters.

Gynysis is very bad, but its badness is so bizarrely consistent that I almost came to see it as a positive. I don't recommend it, though; it's still not good.

This is accurate. I actually agree somewhat with OP about Volume 1. It's a rather empty-feeling film, with some striking images and setpieces, but overall kind of gimmicky. Which is all the more surprising to me because I love Volume 2. The characters are fleshed out, the story feels more resonant, and the ending

"Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" was an enjoyable little B flick with a game cast. Fun to take shots at low-hanging fruit, but "execrable" is more than a tad hyperbolic.

Rogue One was a slog, but I liked Force Awakens and I'm looking forward to Episode 8 because of Rian Johnson. Judging by Jurassic World, though, it's hard to imagine Trevorrow doing something exciting unless he's given a brilliant script.
