I love it. It's not as good as SOTL, but certainly better than Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising. Probably about on par with Manhunter.

That original aria written for the movie is some beautiful stuff.

Both Manhunter and Red Dragon are mid tier as well, although I think I would give a slight edge to Red Dragon. Have not seen Hannibal Rising yet.

SOTL is great.

I definitely prefer Red Dragon. Manhunter sucks so hard, though. Hannibal is way better than that.

Getting close to the end of Hannibal now. Not really enjoying it. Julianne Moore seems totally out of it.

... you do realize her character is drugged by the end of it right?

Haven’t seen it since I saw it on a date in the cinema. Will watch it again soon.

I like elements of Red Dragon, including many performances, but it's so clumsily executed! It's very frustrating

The book is good too

If they had done a straight adaptation of the Hannibal novel, that would've been one for the ages. Some of the wildest shit I've ever read

The Avengers. This was probably my most enjoyable experience watching it for whatever reason, but I still think it's not good. The jokes and attempts at witticisms are forced and rarely land. The set pieces feel sterile and the action scenes generic. I do really enjoy Ruffalo as Banner.

I'll be nice and give it a 2 out of 4.

Also, can Loki just entrance anyone with that spear (sans Stark that one time)? Why doesn't he do it all the time?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
