To be fair, what did you expect from a film about giant robots fighting giant monsters? I'd seen the trailers and a couple of reviews and for me it did exactly what it said on the tin. It was never after an Oscar, just a smash 'em up that sells toys.

Anyway, 'I, Frankenstein' - 7/10. Enjoyed this. After the first few minutes I though 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer in different clothes', but it kept me interested despite a few Buffy-esque special effects. Again, watch the trailer and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

It to be good? And I say that as someone who likes both giant robots and giant monsters - I don't think the subject matter precludes it from being a good film.

Pain and gain 4/10 starts off ok ANC then just drags on n on
Rage 4/10 usual revenge film , Nicholas cage films really don't do it anymore tbh

Lone survivor 8/10 been based on a true story made it better and it was quite moving at the end when it showed photos and home movies of the real men who were killed in action

No, but as I say the trailers didn't hide much. Perhaps I just had different expectations; I never expected a great film, just big special effects and a cheesy plot and something to kill a bit of time, and as such I wasn't disappointed.

Back to reviews...

Non-Stop: excellent. A few holes in the plot but those can be overlooked for an engaging rollercoaster of a film. Definitely worth a watch. 9/10.

21 Jump Street: enjoyable comedy, if not particularly 'laugh out loud'. 7/10.

Best film I've seen of his is Ted.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - 8/10

Very good and makes up for the last one which was poor. A definite 'cinema movie' to get the experience and full appreciation of the film.

Kick Ass 2 - really disappointed with this after enjoying the first one so much; it doesn't quite know what it wants to be and as such, meanders all over the place. More dead Dads than you can shake a stick at and at one point, it veers off into Heathers/Carrie territory in a clumsy attempt to deal with Hit Girl's predicament as a 15 year old lethal assassin trying to fit in at school. Rubbish.

5/10.
