Despicable Me 2
I liked this one alot. Very light hearted humor. I enjoyed Kristen Wig's character as well as the Luchador villain. Fun movie anybody can enjoy really. You can tell Steve Carrel really enjoyed working on this film.
Iron Man 3
I loved the twist there. Caught me way off guard and it was refreshing in a funny way. The million suits thing kinda got tired there. But I enjoyed seeing both worlds of Stark, him in the suit and him having to solve his issues without the suit. However the head honcho antagonist was pretty lame to me.
The Hunger Games Catching Fire
It took me a bit to get into the setting. It just annoyed me how the society was constructed but I guess that was the point. Not really liking the love triangle thing that all these teen movies seem to enjoy doing but hey what can you do. The ending of this one felt abrupt and kinda disconnected but again, that was the point. Really blindside the audience even though you kinda sorta shoulda saw it coming.
EDIT
Thor 2
I don't really know what to feel about this one. It felt generic comic book movie like to me. Thor continues to be portrayed as a boring meathead. Loki stole the show yet again. Kat Dennings is still cute as ****. Its completely ok if you skipped this one. I did like it better than the first. So theres that. I will give the credit that this movie didn't fall into having the whole thing take place on earth. It was smart to have a huge chunk happen in asgard and other realms in the lore rather than have all the action take place on earth.
Pain and Gain
The performances were good. I thought all the three main ugh protagonists? were great at what they were given. Monk was awesome. That said, i think the story failed to give any single likeable character. I didnt know if I was suppose to hope they got away with the crimes or got caught because these guys were completely devoid of morality. It was so bad that during the end monologue when Wahlberg is telling us about the american dream yadda yadda I was thinking to myself "you tortured and murdered multiple people because a normal life wasnt enough for you". I almost burst out laughing at how ridiculous the monologue was considering what he had jsut done, which Im pretty sure was done on purpose. You get no sympathy there haha. But apparently this was based on a true story and well, the true story is also lacking in any characters to like. Even the victims were dicks haha. Oh and the Rock was awesome.
