A man’s son’s older self goes back in time to kidnap himself.

It’s not great or anything, but it’s obscure enough that I’m glad to have bought it.

A government assassin learns he has been cloned by a rogue lab bent on raising an army of perfect soldiers.

A fair movie. It brings nothing new or interesting, and has generally uninspired writing and action. Thinking back on it, it does seem derivative of so many other movies.

A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.

When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.

Some sort of school for not-superheroes is heroic, but one of them becomes less heroic, requiring HERoism.

Bland.

An unlikely time-traveler reappears to help defeat a warlord who had unmade half the population of Earth five years ago.

Meh.

An under-appreciated reporter learns her father’s secret experiments had survived his death, in the form of vigilante ninjas.

I had low expectations for this movie, and they were met.

Something about alien technology being invented on Earth for some reason, and when an engine is shot it somehow makes a SuPerHERo, and something about the tesseract which I think was the invention but isn’t it a power stone?

It’s awesome. It must be awesome, because anyone who doesn’t think it’s awesome hates women. So I’m told. No really, all the movie people and reviewers and media all say that. Well ahead of time. As if they knew it wouldn’t be a good movie ahead of time and wanted an excuse for all the “troll reviews”.
