Avengers: Infinity War

My Thoughts:

-    I thought the movie was good. I liked it a lot better than some of the other MCU movies. 

-    I loved all the moments right out of the comics. Things happened just as they should have. Yay!

-    There was a whole lot of handsome on the screen! Seeing some of these guys in the same shots was awesome! I would love to see Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. do another movie together.

-    The Chris-off was my favorite! I loved Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth's exchange on the Milano. It was hilarious!! 

-    I loved teenage Groot!

-    There were a lot of funny moments. I laughed a lot.

-    I miss Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer. I understand why Silver Surfer can't be in the film, but what happened to Adam Warlock? We saw his cocoon at the end of Guardians 2, but where did he go? How will they defeat Thanos without him?

-    I'm also wondering if Lady Death is going to make an appearance. 

-    I'm excited to see Captain Marvel in the next movie!!

-    I'm glad they did the Infinity War in two parts. I was worried about everything they were going to have to squeeze into this movie, so I'm glad it is going to be two movies.

-    Overall, this is one of the better MCU movies. I liked it. 

The Imitation Game

My Thoughts:

-    This was a good movie. It was well done and had a lot going for it.

-    The casting was great! Benedict Cumberbatch delivered a stunning performance. It was a different kind a role for him, and he was amazing as usual.

-    I'm not a Keira Knightley fan, but she didn't bug me so much in this one. There was a moment when she jutted her pointy chin forward and talked through her teeth. But overall, I didn't mind her in the film.

-    I loved the two guys from Downton Abbey! It is always fun to see Downton cast in anything.

-    This movie really made me think. It boggled the brain a little. I didn't know the English cracked the German code earlier in the war. I can't imagine having to make to make the choices they did. I question whether they had the right to do it, whether it was ethical, and if it was necessary. Only can God can judge that I think. 

-    I love that the German's hailing Hitler is what brought them down. Oh the irony! 

-    I felt so bad for Alan. He had so much going against him. I really wish he had been treated differently. I can't believe the doctors and government used to treat people like that. It is really sad. 

-    I feel like the ending was a little weird. The bit of text at the end made me feel like it was making the movie all about Gay rights, but the movie was so much more than that. Yes, there is the message of equality and such, but there was SO much more going on in the movie as well: friendship, choices, knowledge, hope, etc. I don't feel like it was fair to wrap up the whole movie with one point. 

-    The young Alan was amazing as well. He really captured the mannerisms and everything of Benedict Cumberbatch. I wonder if they worked together to get the character down. 

-    Overall it is a great movie, and I'd definitely watch it again. 

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

My Thoughts:

-    Not even Richard Armitage could save this movie!

-    Not even Richard Armitage + Martin Freeman + Benedict Cumberbatch could save this movie!!

-    Why were the orcs completely CG? Why weren't they guys dressed as orcs? That bugged me! WETA is getting lazy!

-    The barrel fight was ridiculous!! OMG! The barrel roll with Bombur was too much, and there are no words for the stupid stuff Legolas did. 

-    Legolas's face bugged me. He looks different. What did they do to him? Did they CG some of his face? Something about it bugged me.

-    The book was completely forgotten. Why!? Why did they stray so far from the book! Tolkien must be rolling in his grave!

-    I thought Turiel was going to really bug me, but I actually liked her stuff. She was good, except for the infatuation with Kili. What the heck is up with that!? Why were Kili and this elf flirting!? Weird and Wrong!

-    They leave Kili behind!?!?!?!? WTF! Four dwarfs are left behind when they go to the mountain? 

-    Why was the focus not on Bilbo? The Hobbit is about Bilbo, the hobbit, and the movie took its focus off of him for most of the time!

-    There were a lot of slow and boring parts. The scenes just didn't want to end! The movie was losing me.

-    I like how they depicted Beorn, but they screwed up his part. 

-    Gandalf didn't know about the ring or Sauron until Lord of the Rings!! He spends YEARS researching it! Hello!! 

-    Desolation of Smaug? He is still alive. Where was the desolating? 

-    I could forgive a few discrepancies with the first movie, but this was awful! I don't know if I even want to see the next movie. 

Dave's Thought:

-    Peter Jackson, try again!

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    The barrel scene was made for 10 year olds. 

-    There is a better way to spend $1.50

-    I was confused.

-    Why was the red headed lady hitting on the dwarf the whole time?
