2011 January-June Movies

Following up to my January movies-watched post

Very Good

Source Code

- pretty much knew that the twist at the end would happen but getting there was an excellent ride.  Suspense was kept up through the movie.

Super 8

- kinda like Goonies without Data (yah, I'm that old).  Storyline and kids' acting are engaging.

Thor

- another great comic book adaptation.  Good characters that are true to their mythology.

X-Men: First Class

- a good villain (and villain in the making) does make up for a legion of superheroes.

Good

Battle Los Angeles

- action is pretty good.  Gritty alien tech is impressive but aliens themselves are just there to be blown away.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

- much better than POTC 2 and 3, which were just confusing.  Stuck to a decent story and ran with it.  
Rango

- very good animated movie.  Westerns are not my thing, but still quite watchable.

Tron 2: Legacy

- decent movie but too much Gladiator-styling for the games instead of Tron-but-updated computer game setting.  Should have gone MMORPG.

The Social Network

- fast pace good.  Too many spoilers from reviews and real-life.

OK only
Bridesmaids
Priest

- forgettable
Centurion

- forgettable

The Resident
 - Not creepy enough
The Adjustment Bureau
- characters lacked chemistry, liked the doors.
Fast Five
- super-bad-physics alert.
I am Number Four
- teenage angsty.
Mars Needs Moms
- typical disney.


Yawn
Green Lantern
- why oh why did they bother making this.
The Expendables
- all those action stars and that''s the best they could do?
Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
- enough with the self-righteous exposition on how the recession happened.
Sucker Punch
- confusing.
The Mechanic
- forgettable.
Season of the Witch
- slow.
