Good, intense movie. Leave the kids at home. Craig plays a vulnerable Blomquist very different from James Bond end though the opening credits feel like a 007 entrée. And Wasp was excellent embodying “the girl” part perfectly. It was interesting to see what things the changed from the Swedish movie version.…

A fun movie, once you get over the fact that this movie has very little to do with Dumas’ characters, historical accuracy, or the laws of physics. This movie is to Musketeer films what Resident Evil is to zombie films.
Owen Wilson in a Woody Allen film? I know, but it works.
Pretty good adaptation of the Phillip K Dick story.
Good movie with a smart plot. I like Deniro’s character too.
I really wanted this movie to be so much more. Think it will stand up to a second watch well.
‘Enjoy’ is the wrong word. It was a really good movie.
I thought it was interesting to see the Rotten Tomatoes ratings for some movies currently in theaters. There’s really nothing out that’s worth seeing right now if you believe the ratings. I’m just glad to see that Conan still beats The Smurfs even though it lost to a shark and a guy in a space suit.…

Whenever you go into the theater to see a new movie in an old franchise you run the risk of being disappointed. Series like Superman, Batman, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica even Fletch have all been given the “reimagining” treatment with varying degrees of success.…

I went into Captain America thinking of it as just another episode in the Avengers series along with other films like Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk. Each of these films has its own style and high points. I know very little about the comic book character.…

Cute rom-com worthy of your time to rent it on NetFlix. The plot, what there is of it, is predictable but that doesn’t detract. The movie is full of Sting and Police music remixes. There’s even a double reference to Roxanne in the beginning of the movie.…

It was really good! If you thought part 1 was a sleeper, part 2 makes up for it. It had action, comedy, sentiment, and heartbreak – everything you need to capstone a 14-year saga. This movie delivers. There are some great moments like Harry saying, “that was unfortunate” in a deadpan tone in response to something that happens to a certain goblin.…

It was OK. It was a cute premise but it never quite got going. Owen and Applegate are the highlights.
