Man of Steel

Critique put me off watching this for a while, dumbest decision I've ever made.

This film was great, plain and simple. It's dark and full of action. The flashbacks are a nice change for introducing the origin story. And I thought they cast Superman perfectly, great actor and is practically the spitting image of Christopher Reeve.

Best adaptation of the Superman story since the originals, loved it.

The Purge

I usually like films that everyone seems to dislike, but no. Really annoying to watch. Great idea, awful execution.

Insidious

One of my favourite films in general. Too many people think a horror/thriller can only be scary, which is dumb. It's allowed to have a story too. In this case the story is so good that the creators were confident enough to add some comic relief, and it worked.. really well.

After seeing the second chapter of Insidious, I can honestly say this franchise is only 1 film away from being the perfect trilogy. James Wan and Leigh Whannell are just too talented for their own good. Brilliant movie.

Insidious: Chapter 2
The Raid 2

This is how a sequel is done, by turning everything up to 11. My god that was glorious

28 Weeks Later

One of the few cases where the sequel is as good, if not better than the original. Now I patiently wait to complete the trilogy with 28 Months Later (come on Danny, hurry up).

Iron Man 3

Adverts made me doubt the film, didn't like the look of the Mandarin etc. But now that I've seen it..

Wow. Like seriously, wow. This was miles better than number 2, exceeded expectations by a shit tonne and even though there's only 3 I am totally content with saying this is one of the best Iron Man films I've ever seen.

Really well done, everything you expect to happen they turn it upside down and surprise you with raw Iron Man at its best. Loved this film, just really fucking well done.

National Treasure

The Hangover Part III

Reviews made me pass on this film, finally watched it and it was decent. Great end to this weird ass trilogy. Loved the post-credits scene too, hilarious and a nice nod to previous films.

Like seriously, this film is much better than everyone else is making it out to be.

Charlie Countryman

So much better than I thought it was going to be. I have to agree with @PopcornBucket, incredibly underrated.

+1

Project X meets Groundhog Day? I thought it was pretty good. Special effects for this was incredible. I guess I wish the ending was a little better but still a pretty good film.

Vanishing on 7th Street

All these low ratings scared me, although now after watching it, the journey through the film itself was amazing. Super fun, eery etc. I'm guessing it's just the ending people didn't like.

If you don't like films with open endings to be interpreted by each person individually, then don't watch this. Otherwise, check it out. I actually enjoyed this.

My favourite explanation is that this entire film is about the rapture. Open-ended is important because no one really knows what happens, although there's evidence that some souls are left on Earth. Also the reason animals are still alive is due to the belief that animals don't have souls, hence why you see horses, poodles etc in the film.

Easily a 7/10 for me. Would be an 8 if they at least explained why this day was chosen and not any other. Definitely worth a watch though!

Fight Club

Watched this for the first time recently, only because I've heard so many people go on about it. Surprised me a lot, turned out to be nothing like I expected the film to be and I am so grateful for that.

Amazing story, strong acting and the twist at the end was just brilliant.
