A space-environmentalist works to cull the people who don’t recycle, but polluters aim to stop him.

An adequate movie which for once has a sensible major plot arc.

Our favorite web slinger has relationship problems.

Still quite a good movie. Recommended if you liked the earlier one.

A breakthrough in rapid genetics-alteration has unintended side-effects.

I’m fond of the earlier ones, but I think they get classed as “nostalgia”. This is a very good movie, and that’s likely enhanced by Emma Stone, who is incredibly attractive in dress, appearance and action.

Logan - (2017 movie) image

Logan (Wolverine) gets tangled up with a girl fleeing a mutant research and breeding lab that is definitely nothing like that of Dark Angel – (2000 show).

Not recommended.

This is like a DC version of X-Men. It was passable at best, and a good way to put the whole series and concept of comic book movies to bed. I think I’ll end them all on this low note.

  • 15:00 — Statue of Liberty

  • 18:45 —

  • 20:45 — The tag on the glasses means he just bought them, and the previous “cannot read” comment was apparently near-sightedness.

  • 1:46:45 — If they were all raised together, how can they have different accents?

  • 1:58:00 — Why would they pause instead of shooting? Oh, more non-lethality for some reason.
  • 2:04:30 — How come he can’t just slash the cable?
  • 2:06:00 — It was already established that he can be stopped, so how come the vehicle didn’t temporarily-splat him?

I don’t even know where to begin with summarizing this mess.

I guess it’s watchable, but it’s not exactly exciting.

An alien grows up with super powers.

Bunches of this movie make no sense. It’s cute and dated, but ultimately not great because of moments of terrible writing.

Some superheroes are assembled, wielding the power of deus ex machnica, and and defeat bad guys that make no sense.

A bad movie, only made passable by Gal Gadot being so ridiculously good looking I lack the words to word about her looks.

A centuries-old man is embroiled in a sword-fight between other immortals.

This is one of those movies which forged my young self, but I cannot recommend to others. It definitely feels dated, and I doubt its ideas would be particularly shaping to others compared to the other movies created since this one.
