Fantastic Four (2015)

Didn't too much care for this one. That's saying alot because I generally always like comic book movies. It was ok to watch one time but I won't be upset if I don't see it again. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish but it didn't work too well.

Zero Dark Thirty

Good action packed war movie. I enjoyed it.

The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey

Was a little slow and long but great movie adaptation of the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

White House Down

I just knew this movie was going to be HORRIBLE, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Somewhat worth a watch if you are bored an looking for an action flick.

Purge: Anarchy

I know many people thought that this movie was stupid. From the beginning I thought that this was an interesting concept. Not an academy award winner but it's action packed and entertaining if you don't have any other options.

Oblivion

Overall I enjoyed this movie. Visually it was beautiful, and the story was somewhat original. I did think the plot was somewhat weak, but still an ok attempt at being original.

Elysium

I had heard some bad things about this movie, but I enjoyed it. I thought it was a decent action sci-fi film. If you are in to sci-fi films I think it's worth at least one watch.

Open Range

A great western and an all around good film!

Jack The Giant Slayer

I thought this was a fun spin on Jack and the bean stalk.

Iron Man 3

I've enjoyed all of the Iron Man movies and this movie is no exception.  It was Robert Downey Jr.'s destiny to play this role.  Definitely worth a watch if you are in to comic book movies.

The Wolverine

This movie was a little better than I thought it would be, but definitely at the bottom of the barrel as far as the latest installment of comic book movies go.  However not a terrible watch if you like comic book movies and don't have anything else to watch.

Star Trek - Into Darkness

Just like it's predecessor I enjoyed this new reboot of the Star Trek series.  I also really liked the introduction of Kahn. Can't wait for the next one.  I recommend a watch.

Star Trek (2009)

I remember before watching this movie for the first time I thought this movie is going to be stupid.  Because so many times no matter how much a classic a movie is, no matter how good the concept writers find ways totally screw up a classic.  However I was very surprised by this movie. It was very well done. If you are a sci-fi and a Star Trek fan this is definitely worth a watch.

Immortals

Being a fan of great action and amazing visuals in movies I was pleasantly impressed by this movie. If you want an Oscar worthy story line look elsewhere, but if you like alot of action and top tier visual effects this is your movie.

Batman Returns

To me this movie had the same potential as the first one but I just don't think the penguin was a good movie villain. 

Batman

No matter how old this movie gets I still enjoy it.  No matter how many versions are made this will always be the original.

Ninja Assassin

I love martial arts films and didn't know what to expect from this movie, but I REALLY enjoyed it.  Some will say it's way to gory and I think some of it is a little unnecessary but I also think it adds to the intensity of the action scenes. The martial arts choreography is AMAZING and I actually felt like it had a good story and told it fairly well.  If you are a martial arts fan and enjoy ALOT of action I definitely recommend a watch.

The Heat

I enjoyed this movie. Melissa McCarthy was hilarious. This movie gave the same feeling as so many of the movies in the 80's. It's pretty predictable but it's a good ride and leaves you with a good feeling. Would recommend a watch.

Constantine

I enjoyed this movie for the CGI. The story was a little eh, but it looked great and had some good action. I hate to say it but sometimes the look of the movie trumps the story for me.

After Earth

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie. I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a pretty decent sci-fi action adventure movie.  I'm still glad I didn't play the movie theater price for it but it is actually well worth a DVD/Blu-Ray watch.
