I just watched It Follows.. I liked it.  The girl is the same one from The Guest(another good movie I recommend).  I enjoyed the feel of the movie.. all the use of water symbolism and how it wasn't set in any particular decade.  I'm still not sure what the message of the movie is.. I guess it has something to do with dostoevsky's The Idiot since they read from it in the movie.  What message did you take away from watching the movie Kirosia? 

Marvel Can Fail: Avengers 2.

Suffers a similar problem as Big Hero 6. Can't figure out what kind of movie it's going to be. This problem is compounded by the following: 1) lack of story; 2) introduction of even more heroes, villains, and other crap from the comics, e.g. Wakanda, vibranium, is that supposed to be the Flash? Klaw? Vision? Huh? What? Who is that girl with red magic powers? 3) a main villain that seemed menacing enough, however at no point we believed would be successful with his evil plan - unlike Loki in the first where we felt a strong sense of urgency - that he could have actually pulled it off; 4) an incredibly stupid McGuffin which allowed Ultron to be defeatable - I didn't know Marvel was taking lessons from Harry Potter. The movie was ran too long and was a torture fest for my kids.

Verdict: -28 stars. Slightly worse than Transformers 3. This movie would have been better had Michael Bay directed it.

You are harsher than Cinemasins. If an action film entertains less than the Transformers routine exercise, if has failed hard.

I think the run time is fine, but it's not evenly delegated throughout. For example, a lot of time is spent on establishing Hawkeye character and his family, but in the end when he "retires" and goes home, I didn't missed him at all, kinda glad he's gone to be honest.

Meanwhile, ultron goes from a pieced-mealed robot that's about to fall apart to his prime form in about 5 minutes. Huh? His intention and reasoning needs more time to ferment, and would better the film is he was a stronger villan. At no time did I feel he would pose a challenge to the Avengers and would live to see another film. Such a disservice to James Spader since he played the part so well.
 
Also, what is that traversty of Thor's so called story line. He goes off to invite Selvik to skinny dip, then comes back with the answer to everything. At no point explaining what that pool is, how he come to know of it, and why he needs to bring selvig along in the first place. All wrapped up in about 5 minutes of screen time.

And of course, they have to bombard us with "funny" one liners. The film want you to take it seriously, but wants you to laugh along as well. Humor is a seasoning, when you put that much into the pot it ends up ruining the dish.

Overall: 5/10

P.S., Wakanda, vibranium, and Klaw is a tease to black panther, supposedly to be introduced in civil war, and gets his own movie in 2018.

I saw Avengers 2 the other day (probably the first movie I've seen in theatres since Avengers 1). The whole thing felt really cobbled together, like they had a checklist of all the characters, references, and jokes that they had to cram in. Would have been better as a 2-parter methinks. Some of the product placements were pretty ugly too.  But at any rate I still enjoyed the movie from a "shut off the brain and watch stuff happen" standpoint.

Oh, I love shut off brain and watch things explode movies. Just ask Anax. But this one made me the entire way through. Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes cartoons manage to do better in their three part story arc 1/2 hour episodes with even more characters. Joss Whedon fail.
