Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MYSELF AND MARVEL®
INT. MARVEL STUDIOS BOARDROOM
MARVEL: “So we’re making another movie.”
ME: “Okay.”
MARVEL: “It’s kinda like Guardians because it’s a cosmic adventure.”
ME: “Go on.”
MARVEL: “It’ll have lots of synthesizer music.”
ME: “Yes.”
MARVEL: “And sets and costumes that look like they were ripped straight out of the pages of Jack Kirby’s work.”
ME: “O MY GOD, STOP PITCHING, YOU’VE MADE THE SALE!”
I run from the room, grinning from ear to ear. Marvel sighs.
MARVEL: “I probably should have told him that the characters and narrative are rather dull.”

Yeah, but this one has Jeff Goldblum.

The Descent is great. I meant to watch the sequel but they pulled it off Netflix before I had the chance.
There’s a sequel?!?!
Don’t watch the Sequel! It’s awfully boring, ruins the ending of the first movie and weakens the mystery surrounding the creatures.
Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

Oh no, whilst ordering the blu ray of the first one I saw the sequel was available for £2.98 so I bought that too! I didn’t read a plot synopsis or reviews but I saw the cast list and was intrigued judging by how the first one ended. Ah well, I’ll lower my expectations!

Tsk tsk tsk. Never purchase a movie you haven’t seen beforehand, even if you’re certain you’ll like it. I learned that lesson after watching The Amazing Spider-Man.

Interesting that the Alien from LA wiki page doesn’t mention that at all, however the JTTCOTE page does mention it.

There’s probably a bizarre and confusing story behind the film, because I once rented it thinking it was the JTTCOTE remake with Emo Phillips and FX by some Star Wars alumni I had read about in Starlog years before, and it abruptly left turns into Alien From L.A. part II. Even more maddening is a creature from the Emo version is on the DVD cover but not in this cobbled together mess.
The film would be even more confusing to anyone who never saw AFLA. I presume Cannon films inexplicably had everyone except Kathy Ireland under contract for a sequel.

Thor Ragnarok
Not sure how to feel about this. It has some great jokes but I feel life if I were to fanedit it, there are many serious moments that would have worked so much better if you took out a stiff joke that already feels very shoved in.
The set design and music in the film were highlights, and I really started to like it more towards the end, but it did feel a bit hollow.

THE ROCKETEER (1991)
Been wanting to revisit this one for some time. Hadn’t seen it in a couple decades, fantastic film! Joe Johnston did a great job of adapting this for the big screen. The film still holds up wonderfully. Lots of action and adventure to spare. It’s a shame we never got a sequel.

Only downside to the movie is Jennifer Connelly’s wooden performance. I love the woman, and she’s certainly improved since then, but I don’t think she was hired for her skills as a thespian back then.

I kinda like that a movie about the prophecied End Of The World As They Know It is a comedy. I mean, I feel like I’d laugh pretty hard if the world was ending.
But yeah, I still just don’t care about Thor himself in these movies, so it’s still rather hollow for me, but at least he’s funny in this one.

Saw it earlier today and this sums things up pretty well for me too. Felt like too much of a tonal whiplash from the rest of the franchise, and Thor himself felt very out of character.
I’m also very disappointed that, after sidelining Sif for to movies, they straight up ignore her existence in this one…ugh.
Fun movie, but perhaps fun in the wrong ways at the wrong times? Waititi maybe should have been put on a different MCU film…

^my opinion on the film would basically be the opposite of that.
