The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (I refuse to spoiler-tag this)
Meh. The Spider-Man parts were mostly cool which I suppose is the point, but everything else was pretty mediocre. The story didn't make sense. Max Dillon turning into Electro was one of the most insulting things I've ever seen in a movie. So the dude who just needed to shut the power off couldn't be bothered to stay at work for 10 more minutes so Max could fix the wires safely? Fine, that's kind of shitty. Then Max, who is an electrical engineer, balances himself precariously on the rails above the exposed tank of killer eels then super-surprisingly falls into the exposed tank of killer eels which give him powers and fix the gap in his teeth because sure, it should be positioned directly above the wires he had to fix? OH GOD, NO! IT WAS ALSO HIS BIRTHDAY! What the fuc...
There's just way too much wrong with this movie to spend a very long time on each instance. Everything from Peter and Harry totally still being bros after all those years to the secret subway lab that Richard Parker would never be able to build himself and without Oscorp knowing (plus uploading that confession video that Peter had the absolutely slimmest chance of finding) to how much it didn't make sense the way Harry becomes to Green Goblin and how he randomly shows up at the exact moment Spider-Man and Electro's dub step fight ends. So many coincidences, ALL the coincidences.
Was there even a point to the two planes on a collision course? I don't think Spider-Man even knew about that one. Oh, and by the way, here's Rhino. A huge crowd watches and doesn't run away screaming as bootleg-Metal Gear shoots at the police who are so helpless without Spider-Man that they let a little kid run out into the crossfire. Rhino is then totally okay with the kid and Spider-Man chatting then bumping fists.
Godzilla
I watched this at a drive-in theater. They started about 20 minutes before the sun completely set so I missed part of the beginning. I felt like there was a lot of cock-teasing. Every time Godzilla was about to fight the MUTO, the movie would cut to something else. I got the impression that the point was the build up that major fight scene at the end, but it was still more annoying than anything. Still, I liked it even though casting Bryan Cranston was kind of a waste
Braveheart
Still good after all these years. This was the first time I've watched it in its entirety since it came out on VHS nearly 20 years ago. I won't fault the movie for this, but I could used more women talking in Scottish accents because that totally does it for me.
Valkyrie
I finally got around to watching it. Not bad, not especially great. I had some trouble at first following the plot to kill Hitler. It seemed overly complicated. They should have just strapped bombs to themselves in a French theater where all the Nazi leaders gathered to watch a film about national pride and shot up the place.
