The Matrix

This is one of those movies that will be viewed 30 years from now, and a must-watch.
The only thing bothering me is the lack of character background. For example: 'What are Neo's motives?' It doesn't hurt the movie though.
Oh, and the Revolution ending movie of course...

The Sword in the Stone

Best Disney Movie ever!
Great comedy, great sing-a-long music like Disney did best in the early era and a compelling story.

The Bourne Supremacy

With this movie, the Bourne Trilogy went instant classic. One of the best chase scenes I know of, a much deeper view on the identity of Bourne himself and the memorable 'magazine weapon' fight scene. Worth of a longer review, but I am too lazy today.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Inspector Gadget

More close to a parody than an homage to the original series.
Bad casting choices (the hair colour of Penny alone for example), 2 new irrelevant characters, Dr claw's face, no plot role for Brain (dog), no self-destructing message, Chief Quimby is arrogant in stead of angry and doesn't smoke a pipe, and even Dr claw's catchphrase is done wrong... I can understand why they wouldn't dress the dog up in a disguiss, but this is weak.
And so many non-subtle product placement it hurts.

Something positive? Yeah, it is mildly entertaining if you forget there ever was a Gadget show.

Ex Machina

This is an amazing movie.
Sets the bar for 2015, now we just have to see if 'the big ones' (Mad Max, Jurassic World, Hunger Games and ofc. Star Wars) are going to beat it. Maybe I'll write an extensive review later.

X-Men: Days of Future Past
The Avengers

I hope the Silver Surfer movie that is rumoured is going to be of the quality of this movie.

Good movie that makes you want to have kids yourself.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

The franchise became chaotic and messy from all the backpedaling after fan criticism. Because of this, the 3rd trilogy feels incoherent and without a clear vision, which damages the overall story. This last part is still a good and enjoyable film, especially in the blockbuster 'genre', but it can't rise above (no pun intended) it's competition.

The Bourne Identity

A modern James Bond movie. Very cool to watch, even though the 'Bourne Trilogy' is the exception on the rule that sequels are always worse.
The first movie follows a relatively basic story development, and never realy has a memorable impact on the viewer. It does manage to wrap it up in exceptional action and chase scenes, especially for it's time.

Above & Beyond: Giving Up the Day Job

Amazing for the beautiful music, as a documentary however it is not so great. Treat it as a live-coverage of the concert with background stories and 'behind the scenes' material.

The Bourne Ultimatum

3rd and (imho) final installment of the Bourne trilogy. It has the same pace and action oriented directing style as the 2nd part of the movie series. It couldn't keep up with the 2nd one in it's originality and outstanding action scenes, but that's no shame. Nonetheless a great piece of work, with some really nice development, and of course the final closure.

Great Miyazaki film with a lovely fairy tale storyline. If only the kids voices weren't so screamish. This made my overal enjoyment of the movie drop :(

There is a reason why I don't write movies, it is because it would result in movies like this.

Pawn Sacrifice

What an amazing movie. This movie lacks a lot of media attention probably because of its subject. Chess doesn't get a lot of attention these days because a lot of people find it boring. Calling this movie boring would be the biggest lie of 2015 though.
It is one of the best performances, if not the best, from Tobey Maguire I have seen so far. And he has a phenomenal adversary in Liev Schreiber. The movie did not get very creative in its story, but chose a more literal setup from the actual events. This makes for a straight on drama movie without any melodramatic or emotional depth exaggerating the facts, but that is certainly for the best.

Zack Snyder's Justice League
Look Who's Back

Not as funny as I hoped it would be. The ending was a (good) slap in the face though, nicely done.
