Why bother?


I watched Batman and Batman Returns the last few nights. I think the second one might actually be better.

Devito is at least as good as Nicholson.

There isn't tons of action in it, but what action there is seems really amateurish to me. It has one of the lamest car chases I've ever seen in a movie.

My main complaint is there is way too much setup to a story we've seen 10 thousand times. We know what's going to happen. Get on with it. Karate chop some dudes to death already. It has it's moments, but I was bored.

It was funny how much this guy looked and acted like Tom Hardy.
I thought it was Tom Hardy when I first saw a clip. Thought it was him in Prometheus as well.

Maze Runner 3 - Just humoring my son. The first one was a fine premise with decent suspense. 2 was a huge step down. 3 fell off a cliff.

The Mummy - Not nearly as bad as reviewers made it seem. It was fine. Just not necessary and not nearly as fun as Fraser’s. Love Tom Cruise, but I’m glad this failed so he isn’t compelled to do any sequels.

We watched the live action 101 Dalmatians last night. I thought it was dumb but the wife loves that kinda cheesy shit. Good preparation for life with a baby Ezra, I suppose.

I'm going to watch the last 40 minutes of Thor Ragnarok today at work. I mostly enjoyed most of what I watched Tuesafternoon.
