The Fate of the Furious
(2017)
|
Willie Waffle
|
It's about moments like the opening sequence where Dom is racing a car backwards and while on fire (and, umm, plenty of women in bikinis are watching).

An homage to Alien, or a massive rip off begging for a lawsuit.

While all of the cool people want us to praise Watson for her performance, the true star of the show is Evans.

Kong: Skull Island
(2017)

Kong: Skull Island is an action movie trying to be a little more sarcastic than that, but they should stick to the action.

Logan is not a superhero movie. It's a neo-western with a tragic, reluctant anti-hero

Content to play it by the numbers and rely on Cruise and his well known intensity to carry the movie through the obvious.
