Solo

My Thoughts:

-    I have never been so scared and nervous to see a movie. I thought for sure they were going to ruin my favorite Star Wars character, but I really liked it. Thank the maker!

-    The story was good. I prefer the Han Solo Trilogy books, but this was fine. I didn't have any problems with the story.

-    I liked the cast. Donald Glover was perfect for Lando, he even sounded like Billy Dee Williams. I was okay with the new actor for Han. He is no Harrison Ford, but he did a good job. I felt like he was true to the character, and his mannerisms were very much in line with Han's. Chewy was awesome as usual.

-    I'm curious to see how this fits in with Star Wars Rebels. I'm on Season 3. I'm sure it ties in somehow. 

Spider-Man Homecoming

My Thoughts:

-    As a movie, I thought it was pretty entertaining. As a Marvel fan, they screwed a lot of things up. 

-    I liked Spider-Man. They did a good job on his character, and I liked the actor. 

-    While I enjoyed seeing Robert Downey Jr. in this movie, I was bugged that Iron Man had such a large roll in Spider-Man's life. It bugged!

-    It also bugged me that Spider-Man was pining after the Avengers. He was always a solo act, and he was good at it. 

-    Let's talk about Vulture. What were they thinking? I admit that I liked Michael Keaton as a bad guy, but I thought they invented a new villain. It never occurred to me that it was Vulture. They really messed up his character. They also messed up Shocker. 

-    The Captain America videos cracked me up.

-    The action was fun, but sometimes it was hard to see what was happening. 

-    MJ pissed me off! THAT IS NOT MARY JANE!! Can we get a Spider-Man movie with Felicia in it!? There are so many movies, but no Felicia! Come on people!! 

-    Stan Lee's cameo was hilarious and awesome as always! I love that man! 


p.s. After the movie, I realized I wore a DC shirt to a Marvel movie. Whoops!!

Iron Man 3

My Thoughts:

-    I have mixed feelings about this movie. It was good and bad.

-    Robert Downey Jr. was fabulous as usual. He is such a fine looking guy! 

-    Tony had some hilarious moments. I found myself laughing a lot. His banter with the little boy was especially funny.

-    The end battle was a bit silly. Tony was in and out of his suits like they were going out of style! It was ridiculous! Why didn't he just stay in his suit!?!? It got annoying after a couple times. 

-    Pepper at the end was cheesy. She went all kung fu all of a sudden, and it just didn't fit. 

-    I don't know what is up with the Iron Man franchise. The first movie was awesome, but I've been a little disappointed with 2 and 3. I feel like Marvel has been taken in by Hollywood's allure, and they just want more explosions and cool CG. I want a good story line and awesome characters and the awesomeness that is Marvel!!

-    The very end was confusing. Is Tony going to continue to be Iron Man or not? What about Avengers 2? I was mad about some things at the end. I won't spoil anything, but the little firework show at the end made me mad!

-    The little clip at the end of the credits was funny! Dr. Banner makes a little appearance.

-    Overall, I liked the first one the best, but I liked this one better than 2.
