Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019)
Loved it!
Like others have said, this is the movie I've wanted for years! The Pokémon are beautifully rendered! Ryan Reynolds was perfect for the character. Justice takes a beating and brings the feels. As far as the story goes, not sure what the gripe is. Sure he's, not training to be the best, but we got a story that allowed so many species to be showcased. Wish I'd seen it in theaters!
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
The Batman Forever of the MCU
I was super excited for this movie. I love Thor in the comics. I love Hemsworth as Thor. Brannagh's take on the characters in the first film was appropriate. Watiti's take is just wrong. Did you see those skits he did after Civil War saying that Thor was in AUS waiting for someone to call him? He turned that Thor into a movie. Thor is a silly, twit. I loved the music. I even accept the story, though they really bastardized a lot of the comic book mythos, which I expect anymore. There was a great, deep story to be told here that was ruined by inappropriate humor. Now disclaimer: I don't enjoy the humor that is so popular in a lot of NZ and AUS material, so this movie was not for me. If you like simple jokes and bright flashy action with underused and somewhat pointless characters, then this could be for you. My expectations were at a higher bar and it failed.
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)
Not as bad as some say
I'll admit, i haven't read the book. I'm not a fan of autobiographies, but I do enjoy a good biopic (if it's less than 3 hours and not about a musician) Looking at the Wikipedia page and this page, it would seem that this movie was going to be horrible. For me, it wasn't. The dialogue with the constant insults, over-enunciated big words, and imaginative physical punishments was pretty fun(ny). I found myself laughing more from a "what did he just say to her?" HAHAHAHA As I've suggested it to some friends, my encouragement has been "man, the stuff they say to each other and other people is the funniest part." Okay, Jesse Bradford's Drew as the stereotypical college geek with an extensive vocabulary who feels compelled to say words greater than 3 syllables with Malkovich-ian enunciation did get on my nerves. Tucker Max's fetishes and excesses are played to humorous effect, but the plot is still predictable. It's not about the destination, it's the ride
It's not Wedding Crashers. Wedding Crashers had endearing characters and Christopher Walken.
