Batman VS Superman - Just finished this about 30 minutes ago tops. Just feels rushed as a result of going straight to the rivalry and not giving Batman his own movie first to have a proper backstory. So even just among the two of them alone the movie was juggling too much. Then they added Wonder Woman, who granted wasn't as rushed as the trailers led me to believe but... For Gods Sake I wish her and Batman could have just had their own movie BEFORE this one happened.
The Last Airbender - You condense an entire season into a single movie? That almost always ends up bad, even more so when it's an anime to live adaption deal... But dear god did this movie manage to even fall below THOSE expectations.
Star Wars Episode 7 - I already tackled this one
in great depth but to cut it short? Save for Kylo Ren the only marginally interesting characters were from the Originals (shame since John Boyega's a good actor), but even Kylo Ren had a number of problems. The movie overall was rushed, and lacked ANY originally. It feels more accurate to call Episode 7 "A New Hope Fan Film with high budgeting" because they copied that movie almost scene for scene. And yes, I know many people are going to cry out and defend it with "They just needed to bring back the fans. Respect the roots before being creative!".
BULL, FUCKING, SHIT and you know it! If they cared to be original they'd do it at the get go, you don't need an entire damn movie to prove you like it's history, just a couple of references would have done it just fine.
Godzilla - To this movie's defence, it just isn't my style. Godzilla is one of those simple movies, you have a giant lizard, giant lizard destroys shit, humans react. Simple concept, nothing that deep or complex about it. Which is completely fine, just not my own style. However, that's not the reason this movie is here. It's here because considering what I mentioned above, this movie really should have focused on Godzilla. But it didn't, in fact Godzilla was more of a side show to a lead who did some of the most idiotic shit including telling his wife to stay in the city being destroyed... like WTF dude. No hate on the actor though, Aaron Taylor is amazing in Kick Ass. Though speaking of actors, they also really shouldn't have killed Bryan Cranston early... Like why? He practically carried the movie when he was around and it all just fell apart afterwards. Like, if you're going to make Godzilla a side show WTH are you doing killing your best actor so quickly?
Space Odyssey 2001 - *Braces for hate comments if Godzilla and Star Wars didn't already provoke it*. This movie is a hell of a lot of fun to dig into for deeper meaning and such. But... It really lacks pacing, at all. The first 30 minutes is following apes for gods sake. That combined with a good portion of the rest of the movie filled with completely quiet (though scientifically accurate in that part) and prolonged space ship operating scenes? You've got not that much content in the movie left that's... well, engaging.
Twilight - No I didn't come in with any expectations. My family roped me into seeing this movie almost immediately after it was out, so all I understood about it at the time was that it had Vampires... God damn did they butcher Vampires. o_o
Jupiter Ascending - No expectations with this one either. This was the result of a spontaneous road trip without making plans ahead of time. The only positive I can give this movie is that it's main villain is laughably horribly acted the way he switches in and out of yelling and having a sore throat all the time. This entire movie just gave the general impression of "If someone who never watched Sci-Fi before trying to write Sci-Fi fan-fiction".
Mad Max - Like with Godzilla, simple movie, not my kind of taste. Nothing wrong with that. My disappointment in this one was from people highlighting it had a history, and that they had such a good female lead. So I went in expecting some great writing mixed with simple heavy fun action... But writing ended up just being, there. All the characters were just, there. Bodies to fill a fun car chase. I did actually like the movie though, this was more just a disappointment due to hype from others. My overall rating of this one would have to be
MEDIOCRE!!!
Halo The Fall of Reach - If there's one thing 343 can mess up more than Halo Games it's Halo Movies... The voice acting is the lowest quality, the animation is... Almost anyone on YouTube could beat it. This movie is really just there for them to say they made one. I'd suggest Forward Unto Dawn instead, that one's not great but it's at least passable and gives perspective the games don't.
To be fair, from my own understanding before the Last Airbender it was only people who were strongly invested into film who knew the name. While after the movie, it was so bad that seemed to be what changed his reputation to be just among hardcore cinema people to practically everyone.
