Looper

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.

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.


Inception

The actors and the scenery were interesting to see, and I really enjoyed the slow reveal of what happened with Mal. It's a fun ride as long as you don't think too much about the loopholes.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

They should've just made this entirely CG, since that's what half the movie was anyway. The Cobra guys' reactions of pain and fear kind of ruined it for me, but it was nice seeing Joseph for a few minutes.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The action scenes were boring and went on for way too long, especially the desert fight, and the plot holes were insane. I liked Jetfire, though.
