Fast Five
I have a lot of love for this series, and I wanted to like this more
than I did. It felt like they only had about half a movie going here. I
enjoyed everybody getting together, and Rio was a fun place to see, but
about 70% of it was flat.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
This movie was kind of frustrating. I didn't like all the tension of Hogwarts becoming a bad place, and I didn't like that Mrs. Figg was hurting people.
True Grit
I didn't have high expectations for this movie, but I was pleasantly
surprised. I do love Westerns, or at least modern ones. The dialogue
was good, and there was at least one surprise in the plot. There were
about five too many instances of deus ex, however, and I was
disappointed with the way it ended.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Not exactly an epic, but it's a decent movie if you're into the series.
Death Race 2
They clearly had a problem finding quality people for this movie.
The dialogue, direction, production, editing, and acting were all
horrible. If you like Death Race enough, though, you can almost get past
all of that. The idea behind the movie was solid, it was great to see
how it all started, and they finally got something right when people
stopped talking and things wrapped up at the end.
