Thor: The Dark World

Rating: ***

Unfortunately there wasn't as much of a comedic relationship between Thor and the mortal world in this one with most events happening in Asgard or somewhere..
It was another one of those 'save the world movies' that I had subconsciously cast as boringly predictable half way through. But at that point I didn't realize how wrong I was with the biggest plot twist (possibly ever) leaving me pretty stunned and now I don't really know what happened in the movie tbh.
Also can we please stop with the 'can I trust Loki' story lines they leave everyone distraught when he inevitably betrays everyone he can.

Frozen

Rating: ***

Where do I start. Apparently the whole teen population has unanimously decided that they love this film so I rounded the rating up from 2.5 to 3 stars because I don't want to be murdered in my sleep. It just wasn't that good. Please watch it though I don't want you to be excluded from your group of friends.
Also can I just rant about how the animators seem to have gone out of their way to create characters who's beauty is completely unattainable, mainly because LOOK AT THE PROPORTIONS OF THEIR FACES.

Captain America: The winter soldier

Rating: ****

The first half of this movie was mostly 'look at my how many things my shield can smash through'. Fair enough, it was pretty impressive. If you like explosions and guns etc then go see this movie. It was actually fairly funny with Anthony Mackie and Chis Evans providing most of the comic relief.
It did, however, get some stick for presenting black widow as more of a sexual object but I thought that Scarlett Johansen made it pretty clear that no men in this movie were in charge. ALSO I CAN'T SAY THAT I LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE'S A STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER BECAUSE APPARENTLY THAT'S AGAINST FEMINISM BUT I DO so..
(If you're only going for Chris Evans' torso then watch the first one which incidentally has a better plot).
p.s Sam Wilson is pretty awesome but stop mentioning that he's black. Literally just stop.

Magic Mike


Rating: Depends what ur lookin' for

Anyone who tells you that this movie has any plot whatsoever is lying to you as well as themselves. But literally who cares.
The only negative thing that came of this movie is that every time I hear 'Like a virgin' I imagine Alex Pettyfer stripping and I'm not even sure that's a bad thing.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Rating: ***

Not as good as the first one unfortunately. It was a lot to live up to though and there was a dragon (Benedict Cumberbatch's voice) so it was still worth watching. There just wasn't as much spectacular scenery and too much of the plot was different from the book and THERE WERENT ANY SONGS. The elves also managed to take unrealistic to a whole new level.
The end of the movie was an unbelievably good cliffhanger with Ed Sheeran's 'I see fire' which was enough to save this movie.

Monsters University

 Rating: ****

Completely underrated. Of course it isn't as good as the first but most sequels aren't. I actually found it a lot funnier than I thought I would and it was nice to see a back story for Randall who was actually pretty adorable to start. Thinking about it it kind of reminds me of a much better version of 'House Bunny' without the sexism or the cheese.

Looper

Rating: **

I WILL PAY SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL WENT ON IN THIS MOVIE. EVEN JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT'S SCREEN TIME DIDN'T MAKE UP FOR THE CONFUSION THAT IS LOOPER.
Seriously though how many flaws can you find in this movie. Basically time travel crime is illogical goodbye.
