My most recent movie viewing includes Scarface, Thor Ragnarock, Doctor Strange and the first ten minutes of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Scarface: I should have seen this at some point in my life, I felt like Tamara Chambers going into this. I have no excuse my best friend growing up was a Mexican drug dealer and this was his favorite movie.
What did I think. It was good but overrated. Not nearly as good as it was made out to be but not bad. I can see why it has a following but it's not something I will want to rush out and watch again soon.
Thor: I haven't seen Thor 2 yet nor many of the MCU films preceding it. On it's own it does not stand up well at all. If all a person watches are the three Thor movies this one will not work as a stand alone sequel. This is my biggest gripe with the MCU in general. It was an OKAY movie, but I felt like it was doing too much world building then world destroying when it should have been a straight forward Apocalypse. I didn't hate it and I intend to watch it again once I am caught up on MCU, maybe watch them in proper order for a change, but I thought it was sloppy.
Doctor Strange.
Clearly I should have seen this BEFORE Thor 3 so oops. First gripe. This guy, supposedly genius level smart, lives in a world with Hulk and Loki and the Avengers, knows about them, was in New York during the alien invasion and he still is skeptical of the ancient ones magic? B.S. not believable took me out of the movie.
To that end, it's 2017, in the Marvel Universe, there is NO WAY there is this remote place in the jungle of who knows where completely out in the open with an ancient order of sorcerers in a world of cell phones and he still never heard of it, in the same world with Loki fighting Avengers downtown from his apartment? Not buying it.
The rest of the movie, once you get past that eye rolling oversight, was AWESOME. I will be putting this on my list of hidden gems or under rated super heroes for sure. It had flaws, and it definitely falls into the setting things up for the next film flaw they all do, but it stands more on its own than some of the others, of course some of that was distracting so there is that.
I thought I would hate Doctor Strange yet somehow I found myself really enjoying it.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall: God no. I couldn't get ten minutes into this before I was bored and turned it off. Not my kind of comedy. I wasn't sure going in what to expect but nope not for me.
