I watched accidentally, unaware how much misery--dragged out misery one movie can present. Very good acting, and I hate Chastain. Very few bright spots in this film. Guess that's what the producers were going for. I will not watch again.

Great entertainment. Not "scary" by zombie standards, but understated performances that hit home. The scariest part of the movie IMO, is how quickly Pitt's democratic, helpful government cast his accomplishments aside once officials thought him dead. Reflects much about the politics of war, entitlement and how many are simply pawns within processes. Not recommended for under age 13.

An okay one-time-watch. Graphic violence, graphic language, average acting; brief nudity. Reboot of an earlier film which starred a top porn actress of the time. Not recommended for under age 13.

Revolt made me uncomfortable. The aliens are nondescript, believable and deadly enough. Death, whether by suicide, alien attack, or mercy killing is constant in the movie. Empathy from fellow humans is absent almost. Keep in mind the story is fiction, the movie designed to produce strong emotions from audiences. Not enjoyable to watch constant destruction and fear from humans simply trying to survive. I watched movie once; which was enough.

Good entertainment. Adkins is a force in the portrayal a a greedy, brutal, narcissistic man. Lutz is believable as a man thrust into leadership. Pace of film is rushed, but story speed does not diminish the charm and sincerity of the story--a demi God's awakening to inherent power and realization of human atrocity. The grief of loss contrasted with joy and disbelief of the loss shown as false is an entity that stands alone; many are not privy to the emotions. The Legend of Hercules captures the feeling of embracing life from death.

I like the movie a lot. Nice pace, great acting, regular-guy theme. The ending will uplift viewers of all ages.

Dredd very graphic and not like Judge Dredd. If Karl Urban is a favorite the movie is a must-see. There are a few inconsistencies in the screenplay, as in all movies, which the action hides well. Fun to watch.

If gore, pain, and creative torture is your pleasure, this is the movie to watch. The director got the blood right, the tortured screamed like we expect (one man watched his liver crushed while alive still), and the nice couple, grieving for the loss of their child, are goal-oriented in making the killers suffer. I'm not into the fantastic of making brutality look real on the screen anymore, so the movie didn't do anything for me. The contradictions and errors of the movie are well played. A few cheesy cheats to add "authenticity" to viewers (there was a time toilets, let alone somebody using same was a no-no on screen--none of that here!), which detracted from the premise of the depth of good versus evil in my opinion. Better than many gore-flicks, but got tired of the weight of the film being continuous torture--the reason many will watch.

Watch movie once, and it's a blast. A fun story of assisted, life metamorphosis for regular people. Bradley is amazing. Further viewing presents uncomfortable holes in the premise. How can a person with a four digit IQ, for example, get caught up in the drama and resulting chaos of thug life? A mind rendered "limitless" prospers in politics and Wall Street only? Fun to watch, but "limited" in suspension of disbelief.

IM3 is fun. Storyline is creative, details hard to accept (a billionaire's Head of Security anal about "badges" but lost when (mis)handling EXPERIMENTAL projects?). Audiences don't like flawed heroes so Stark's (realistic) journey with PTSD is uncomfortable. But watching life with the very rich, and a needy little bit getting attention and gifts from a rich, way cool benefactor attends to viewers' secret wishes. The cast does a great job entertaining; even Sir Ben Kingsley has good fun as The Villain. Lots of action with minimal blood so all ages can watch. Writers keep pace with a fast-paced movie/franchise making storyline seem choppy, silly, and greedy--but the story is enjoyable and fun. I liked Stark's growth and "love" for his creations (final scene with Dum E). Not a flawless watch, but many scenes present to cheer and enjoy.
