The Killer

2023

★★★★ Watched

Best stone face since Drive

Avengers: Age of Ultron

2015

★★½ Rewatched

It's not bad, and parts are even very good, like the interactions within the team and most of the new characters. I really like Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch and especially Andy Serkis who is not only stealing Wakandan vibranium, but also every scene he's in!

However. The plot feel old and slow and too similar to the first one to feel interesting.
Would this have been the first Avengers that came out I'm sure the tone would've been different, but now it feels like they're phoning it in.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

2017

★★★½ Rewatched

The first time I saw this I didn't really care for it. I thought the pacing was off, that it looked bad and that the jokes fell flat. This time I really enjoyed it and the emotional core really spoke to me.
It really shows how you can never see the same film twice.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

2023

★★★½ Watched

Surprisingly deep and emotional! I personally feel like James Gunn previously have struggled with finding the balance between the comedy, the action and the emotional beats, but this time he really nails it. It's sad, it's laugh out loud funny and it looks great, almost as good as it sounds!
You can really tell that these are actors and a director that has come to understand their characters on a deep level which makes the emotional core of the film…

Bullet Train

2022

★★★ Watched

It's a fun romp and the action looks great (at least the practical stuff). It's definitely style over substance but some great performances (however not all) brings it home to a fun time. The cameos however are very distracting and makes the film worse.

Nobody

2021

★★★ Watched

He does comedy, he does drama and now he does action really well? Give Bob Odenkirk a pair of dance shoes and a microphone and call him and he'll become a quintuple threat!
