IMDB Summar:
A mixture of action and sci-fi and one of my most anticipating movies of the year. This movie delivered on pretty much every level. Tom Cruise did a superb job as always and I was very impressed by Emily Blunt - at first I feared she would be a one-dimensional character, but she really did a great job. I really liked the premise of the movie and how it was executed - they even managed to put in a bit of humor at just the right places.Quote:

IMDB Summar:
Last week I finished watching the prequel series of Serenity, Firefly, and I honestly thought it was the best sci-fi series I've ever seen. Not just the dynamic of the characters, but due to the amount of details and careful planning of the story. Unfortunately it was cancelled (Thanks FOX) after 1 season, but Joss Whedon got the exact same group together for one last attempt to close the many ends the series left open. Keeping in mind this is a 2 hour movie and not a 10 episode season, Joss did the very best he could with this and pretty much made one of my favorite sci-fi movies I've seen. Of course if you watch this first without watching the series it might seem like a cheap CGI, low budget sci-fi movie, so if you really want to enjoy this movie - watch the series first!Quote:

IMDB Summary:
I've never been the biggest X-Men fan, but of course I had to watch this movie. I've so far seen X-Men, 2, 3 and First Class - so I did watch it with some expectations, especially because of the director, Bryan Singer. This is, for me, the best X-Men movie so far and I really enjoyed the story. I really enjoyed the dynamics between the characters and how the story unfolded. Definitely worth a watch. For some reason it still lacked something - not sure what it was, but maybe it's just because I've never cared that much for this universe.Quote:

Watched that the other day. Think I agree with your rating. Liked the previous one much more! Still think Michael Fassbender is amazing as always though.

Nice one for sure! Just like the first one.
7.0 / 10
Also the best Sci Fi series I've ever seen, you just fell in love with the characters and like you say the dynamic between them. Not just that but you genuinely sensed love from the cast for the roles they were playing and the experience. There seemed a sincere on screen bond which said they had fun.
Cancellation was one of the worst decisions I've seen any company make.

The Equalizer
Great movie!
I watched this last night. Think I was a very young teenager when I first saw, possibly even younger.

A movie of two halfs, the first with the drill seargant absolutely stealing the show. Much of the part being ad-libbed. The second the harsh realities of wartime. Come near the end the movie feels a little hollow and flat as an experience of war but it's more of a character study than it a war movie.

Actually a pretty well rounded movie that has a pretty good but what makes it so great and what works so well is the acting in this one works on so many levels. This one is a tearjerker for all the right reasons and has plenty of sad moments but overall I enjoyed it and I think it's a realistic look at teenagers.
