There are a lot of plot holes in this movie. There are also a lot of
prosthetics on Gordon-Levitt's face, which were rather distracting and
unnecessary.
I liked a lot of the concepts presented here, and I
really enjoyed the first part of the movie, when we got to see a bit of
the Gibson-esque future. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there.
Some of the quiet moments didn't work, and the ending was unsatisfying.
I don't like Emily Blunt. She doesn't do anything for me. This is the first movie where I noticed Paul Dano, though, and I loved his character.
Skyfall
This is the only James Bond movie I've ever seen. It was okay. Judy Dench is really old and wrinkly. Javier Bardem was a good villain.
The Dark Knight Rises
Perfectly average movie. Bale and Hardy were good, and the story was
interesting, but nothing really blew me away. At least I can say I saw
Batman on opening day without getting shot.
Fright Night
Colin Farrell was a great vampire. The movie was fun, smart, funny, and had a few unexpected moments.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
This movie has a lot of problems. I couldn't follow what was going on
with the action half the time, Carly is a complete non-character, and
Sam's an unlikeable jackass. The plot has more holes than a slice of
Swiss cheese.
You also have the awesome (not) hour-long action sequence at the end again. I thought they would've learned their lesson from the last one: no one wants to sit through that much. Break it up into a couple of battles or something.
Fortunately, none of those things really matter to a movie like this, and I loved it anyway. We have Josh Duhamel, the name "Witwicky," Sam's parents, John Malkovich, Wash, Patrick Dempsey doing something unexpected, and several genuinely funny scenes.
