Here are a few movies I've watched recently
Life -- 6/10. Its fine, rarely boring, but not all that exciting either. Pretty good characters but lacks the sense of dread that was in 'Alien'
XXX Return of Xander Cage -- 7/10 Completely ridiculous, but I have a high tolerance for these kinds of over-the-top international blockbuster action movies. At one point, Vin Diesel and a minor character are in dire mortal peril, and the film shows in detail how Vin escapes and then it just shows the other character strolling up with no explanation for how he escaped.
Assassins Creed -- 4/10 I never had any idea what was going on. Fassbender is cool but I've even played a couple of these video games and I still had no clue what was happening or why.
Kong Skull Island -- 5/10 This was fine, I didn't hate it, but once it was over, I didn't think of it again until just now.
Logan -- 7/10 Close to an 8 but not quite there. I liked this a lot but I've never really accepted Wolverine into my heart so it didn't have that special resonance/reverence that it does for others. Still, I enjoyed it.
Taken 3 -- 3/10 Good god this movie is so dumb, SO DUMB. Like I said, I have a very high tolerance for action movies that are completely realistic. But movies like XXX establish a certain 'world' and then stick with it somewhat consistently (though there's holes like the one I explained). Tak3n tries to be this gritty realistic movie, but it is annoyingly inconsistent that I basically hate it.
