Parting Potter with Part Two
PostedJuly 16, 2011

from Saint Paul, MN
A nearly-flawless ending chapter in the Harry Potter saga. Purists may object to some of the narrative that's been cut from the book in order to make the movie work, but the end result is coherent, spectacular, thrilling, and a fitting end to the adventure that began in Sorcerer's Stone. Fantastic effects, fantastic acting, and a spot-on use of altering ages with CGI made me wishing it wasn't the end for this franchise.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

THOR rises to the occasion

Given the high benchmark set by the Iron Man series, this latest entry into the AVENGERS franchise of movies easily meets those standards. As a long-time comics fan, I was impressed with the way that THOR managed to capture both the essence of the character and the mythology Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created for him, but also embraced the more modern interpretation used in Marvel's Ultimate Thor.
Stunning visual and CGI effects, excellent casting and directing, enjoyable performances and consistent pacing made this a thunderous addition to Marvel's successful cinematic lineup.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Best it Is at What it Does

Critics and reviewers are making pains to point out this movie's flaws, but i think what they're expecting is another Dark Knight or Iron Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine only needs to do one thing: be the best Wolverine movie it can be. I think in that respect it succeeds admirably.
Not only does it make up for the lackluster and somewhat uneven X3, Wolverine manages to tell the story leading up to the first X-Men movie (and, more critically, X2) as well an give Hugh Jackman another shot at one of his best roles. Liev Schreiber excels as Sabertooth, much more than Taylor Mane did in the first X-movie. And Danny Huston portrays a convincing William Stryker.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
