My bad, I was remembering the post right after this, that had no normal rating, and I was thinking that the (2017) numbers were the ratings.
Instead I have made very confusing statements. I’ll show myself out.

I don’t keep track of things like that.

Finally gave Prometheus a full watch.
Still burns me how they handle anything to do with the “Engineers” or really anything have to do with the lore of Alien. I’d argue the Star Wars Prequels fit much better into the saga in terms of looks than Prometheus does with the Alien Trilogy. Like jeez, the technology/ships displayed is too flashy/futuristic, and so unlike anything we saw in the original Alien films where it’s a lot more rustic/muted. Way too jarring for something that happens, I assume, rather close to the timeline of Alien '79.
Surprisingly, I was interested in the journey of Elizabeth and David, but looking at the trailers of Covenant, it looks like that won’t be the focus and instead I’m going to get more of the same of what I just watched in Prometheus.
sigh

Without going into spoilers, Covenant does have a big focus on David, one of the film’s strengths in my opinion.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
A fun return to form! Where Stranger Tides was a lower budget small romp, Dead Men returns to the grander adventure that the franchise is known for. Though not without a few bumps along the way.
The characters and their repartee are fun. Depp was reliable as ever in his iconic role and newcomers Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario hold their own. Many of the series beloved characters return, though notably missing are Pintel and Ragetti. The bumbling crewmen were sorely missed as their generic replacements fell flat.
The action is fun but uneven at times. It aspires to reach the same heights as its predecessors but falls a bit short. A commendable effort all in all and a worthy addition to this seafaring saga.

ALIEN: COVENANT
SSSSHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA… where to start.
As is typical of the Scott brand, the mood and atmosphere and universe building were outstanding. Fassbender was terrific and the rest of the cast did the best that could have been done with what they were given.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
From the same crowd that gave us LOST, TOMORROWLAND…
Lesseee… We’ve got black-clad clean-shaven monkish Borgish tall dark-eyed statuesque time-jumping super-beings with Romanesque noses that are totally not the idealized image of the Jesuits, we’ve got another duality with a WASPy rapey-heterosexual insane “Davidic” would-be creator god and an Americany tool of the dimwit crew who tries to do the “right” thing according to programming, we’ve got the far-too-stupid to survive mostly white sloppy wildly-irresponsible dimwit crew with their moronic-and-evil-because-he-tries-to-be-Christian leader and their “asleep” cargo of presumably dimwit colonists unworthy of entrance into the great TOMORROWLAND…um…I mean TOMORROWWORLD…
The tall Not-Jesuits have created rapey impregnating aliens and bio-weapons for their INFERNO on Earth to help “cleanse” their planet of all they consider unworthy. It sure would be unfortunate if there was any blow-back onto the coadjutor families and lesser tools of the not-Jesuits, and they wouldn’t want any too-stupid-to-live useless-eaters surviving and learning it was they who did it. Luckily, The WASPy hetero-rapey Davidic would-be god intervenes and makes it very clear that he is solely responsible and anyone who blames the not-Jesuit group is TOTAL EVIL AND MUST SUFFER AND DDDIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!! No, it is would-be David-god who is SOLEY responsible for bringing in and unleashing the hordes of rapey aliens and super-infectious pathogens.
Americany tool might have a change of heart after the thesis-antithesis wrestle at THE END and then merge their programming into the great synthesis.
END SPOILERS
It’s a good thing these are all just sychronicities sent through time by the great Jesuit-Borg OMEGA POINT to let us know the best possible path and it’s totally NOT a little gang of PURELY DEPRAVED SADISTIC AND INSANE PSYCHOPATHS using their control of Hollywood to advance their COSMICALLY CRUEL and BERZERKLY STUPID program.

Doctor Strange (2016)
CONS
- Too much humour in unnecessary places. Strange has never been a humourous superhero; I don’t see why so many gags and slapslick had be incorporated into the plot.
- Too much Kung Fu.
- Not enough emphasis placed on Strange being an uncaring asshole prior to his accident.
- Dormammu’s atrocious design. Give me the featureless, flaming head from the comics any day.
- The eye makeup of Hannibal & co. It didn’t make them look creepy or sinister; it make them look like a troupe of emos with running mascara.
- Tilda Swinton’s teeth.
PROS
- Everything else.

Yeah, if anything him being an asshole is overdone, both before and after his accident.

I think this forum gets the same rating…although in light of recent events I suppose it has improved to 7/10.
