what he said.
I think I wrote something about it on here...(I might not have) but I really don't get the praise for it. it was kinda dull.
Enemy was also a weird one to watch. But I watched that super late night, so I might have missed part... I don't even remember. Don't really care to go back and check either.

I suppose i latched onto it because its Scarlett Johannson starting off by wandering around a shopping mall in Scotland, only changing her hair, and totally blends in.
It was the most extreme example of "show, don't tell" - i can see why its considered dull though. It's not paced like Cap 2 or Lucy. It was so deliberately eerie i walked out thinking "what did i just watch?!".

The Equalizer - Denzel/10
Good movie. It won't change your life or anything, but it's pretty entertaining. Basically Denzel Washington is a badass and kills lots of people for two hours. If you ever see him in a Home Depot, leave.

Guardians of the Galaxy - NotStarWars/10
I finally caught up with this film. It was very good but not overwhelmingly great. It looks great, most of the action set pieces were fine. I like the band of characters. The plot is just an overly complicated take on chasing a MacGuffin. There were enough spaghetti-western and prison-break film influences to keep the action fun. The story is way too convoluted. I suspect folks that are familiar with the Marvel universe of comics probably appreciated the story more than I did. I found the villains of the piece to be very boring and one-noted. They were just bad guys for bad guys' sake. No dimension to them at all. Thanos in particular was laughable. Big faced "scary" dude sitting on a throne in space. OK, whatever. He's no Darth Vader, choking the life out of some dude within the first few minutes. I gather he's the Big Bad for the next Avengers? I hope he is more interesting by then. I had the same problem with the Christopher Eccleston baddie in Thor 2. He was just a bad guy hell bent on destruction and darkness because ... no reason, he's just a bad guy. A shouty, boring bad guy. Eccleston's such a good actor, that role was wasted on him.
Anyway, Guardians was far from terrible, just not a revelation.

Well, Thor 2 has like 20 minutes cut out of it, and then villain scenes replaced with reshoots to include more Loki. Maybe all the extra scenes are on the DVD? Or maybe one day they release the extended directors cut (since the director was cut from final edit of the movie... and probably the Loki reshoots as well).
