What was the last movie you watched ....

Really? Huh. I haven't seen it yet, but eventually I will. Maybe the studio knew that Star Wars is coming out in December, and didn't want want the competition.

 

Finally got to Shazam. Not bad. I've certainly seen worse superhero movies. I enjoyed it more than Captain Marvel, Batman/Superman, Justice League, Antman 2.

Going into it I was worried about the villain. We all know that the hero is a 14-yo with no experience, so I was puzzled: How would it be fair for him to fight a grown-up with experience?! But without spoiling anything, don't worry. The script writers solved that problem. The villain is dangerous yet appropriate to an inexperienced teenager. I was impressed with how they handled it, and the climactic battle was actually part of the charm of the movie. I actually got warm fuzzies from the climactic battle, as weird as that sounds.

 

End Game!

Wow. That was ... excellent.
I nominate it for (1) best picture and (2) best screenplay and (3) sure, why not best director.
Yes, I was truly impressed.
Just -- wow.

 

Hey, it's my birthday, too! ::high five::

 

Downton Abbey the movie! It was really great! I am a big fan of the TV series. The movie did not disappoint.

I wonder if the movie seemed good to people who didn't watch the TV show though.

It is really weird that I love this series. No offense, but British nobility and class stuff normally is NOT of interest to me. It isn't an era of history or region that particularly interests me. But so many patrons at my work recommended it that I gave it a chance. The writing in the series and the movie is excellent, as is the acting and characters.

There was one weak spot in the plot line, because I found it a little far fetched and out of character. But it wasn't so big that it ruined the movie for me.

I hope they make a sequel.
