Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Wonderfully entertaining!! (No spoilers)

[10/10 · 8 July 2017]

Let me start by saying I am not a superhero or comic book fan. I ONLY went to this movie because the company I was in wanted to. I was reluctant, but was assured I would enjoy it. I was so skeptical and really had a negative outlook. I am SO HAPPY that I chose to go. I was very nicely surprised.

This is an incredible journey that shows the ties of friendships and families and good vs. evil. Very well written, directed and acted. Characters and story line were well developed. The movie was paced perfectly, nothing felt rushed and nothing felt like it was dragging, even with the movie being on the long side. The movie did not follow the always boring, somewhat predictable path. Riveting moments come at the least expected times. There are plenty of emotional scenes.

This movie is wonderfully entertaining. The scenery is exceptional. I would have never imagined a Marvel movie to be beautiful, lighthearted, poignant, hysterically funny, intelligent, sad, happy and a just over all very satisfying. I laughed, I cried, I was drawn in and mesmerized. I left with a smile, feeling very satisfied - but wanting more. I really couldn't be happier.

I actually had not seen the first GOTG. I was so entertained by this one that I had to go borrow that one from a friend to watch. I like them both a lot. Most of the time a sequel is not as good as the first. IMHO, that is not the case in this trilogy. The second is just as good (maybe a tad better) than the first.

Well worth the watch. Super enjoyable!

All Eyez on Me (2017)

Incredibly disappointing

[3/10 · 8 July 2017]

This movie was hyped to be a wonderfully poignant look at an epic entertainer who made his mark on the world. It is extremely disappointing. With the exception of Tupac's mother, there is very little character development. Scenes are very rushed and end up seeming random, incomplete and not well interconnected. The movie jumps all over the place without developing the story line well. There are a load of "era" errors -- cars, cell phones, brands, etc... that weren't even around when Tupac was, but are all over in the film. This was just generally a horrible fail of a movie.

I was holding out a great deal of hope and left feeling like my 11 years old could have told the story better - by simply reading a book about Tupac.

This movie is a downright disgrace. There were so many ways it could have been better. It is shameful that this was even released. I really was hoping and expecting to at least be entertained. This movie just completely misses the mark.

It is a waste of time to view this movie. You will never get that time back. Just don't do it. Ya, it's that bad.
