I watched the fourth installment of the Pirates series. Overall, it's not bad, but it doesn't really grab my attention. Sky, you might want to check it out once.

I went to see "Night of the Scarecrow." Overall, it's a decent movie; it has a good sense of humor, charming characters, and even some moments of "wildness" (in the style of Tarantino). By the way, it has some similarities to "From Dusk Till Dawn." A few logical inconsistencies and sometimes illogical character behavior (especially the main villain) and strange changes in character (the main character's friend, in particular, became noticeably dull after the initiation) slightly spoil the picture. Tennant was the most impressive, showing that he is excellent at transforming. And his character turned out to be charming, although he resembles Jack Sparrow a bit (no, I have a good attitude towards Jack). The main villain also pleased me; he turned out to be charming and quite unconventional. In general, it's worth seeing, but not in 3D, because the 3D in the film is just for show (a couple of not very critical scenes).

I rewatched Tron (the old one, from 1982) over the weekend; it's still a great movie. And then I watched Tron: Legacy... Why the hell did I even think of watching this modern, black-and-blue mess?! It's not even facepalm-worthy; it's more like foot-to-the-back-of-the-head-worthy. Nothing can ruin the impression of the old movie, but it made me want to vomit. So, if you haven't seen it yet, don't watch it under any circumstances!

What’s so terrible about it? I haven’t seen the old one, but if I’m not mistaken, the plot is the same; they just took it and added modern computer graphics, right?

Well, they added graphics, but reduced the logic and intelligence, or rather, brought it down to zero.

I'll watch an old movie this weekend. Maybe after that, the questions will resolve themselves; I can't say anything for sure right now.

So, I watched that movie about the cable guy that Vegtamchik had been watching some time ago. NarMik, I liked it. Although I don't think I'll want to rewatch it anytime soon. I also watched Batman Begins, the one from 2005. Since I liked The Dark Knight, and then I found out that the first film was also directed by Nolan, I decided to give it a watch. It's not bad, an 8.5 out of 10. It can't be compared to the second part, of course, but the criteria are different. And I also stumbled upon the recent Thor movie. I was drawn in by its generally good rating and decided to watch it. Yes, it's that Thor, the MARVEL SUPERHERO WHO SAVES HUMANITY. What can I say? I can say that the movie lacks time, and most of the characters in it are rushed, underdeveloped, and completely unexplored. That's probably the main drawback. And also. I understand that these days it's not so easy to find real, hairy, huge, two-meter-tall Vikings for filming, and that's why you can somehow justify the lack of facial hair on half of Asgard, or the smooth-shaven, slender, dark-haired Loki with slicked-back hair, or even some random musketeer-god with a saber. And that the canonical Asgardians would be hard to distinguish, and therefore in all of Asgard, only two characters more or less meet the requirements: Odin and some minor nobody from Thor's entourage. But what looks completely idiotic is the SLANT-EYED and BLACK-SKINNED HEIMDALL. This kind of political correctness didn't even surprise me, it just amused me, lol. However, Heimdall, although completely absurd from a logical point of view, turned out well, which cannot be said about the Asian character. But overall, it's funny, and it's watchable. And Asgard is very beautiful. It's still far from Iron Man, of course.

Of course, I mean the first one.

I rewatched Tron (the old one, from 1982) over the weekend; it's still a great movie.
And then I watched Tron: Legacy... Why on earth did I think it was a good idea to watch that black and blue mess of modern cinema?! It's not even facepalm-worthy; it's more like foot-to-the-back-of-the-head-worthy. No, nothing can ruin the impression of the old movie, but it made me want to vomit. In short, if you haven't seen it yet, don't watch it under any circumstances!

Maybe it's not a good idea to describe your impressions so graphically? This isn't your bathroom.

P.S. I watched "Déjà Vu." I liked it. And I liked "The Prestige." And I liked "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2." I didn't like "Thor" at all.

"Déjà vu"

Probably American? I don't understand why it's so famous. It's just a movie. But the Soviet one – that's a masterpiece. Simply a masterpiece.

FIRST AVENGER.
I didn't expect anything outstanding from the Captain America movie, and that's what I got. You can watch it, but believe me, it's not a must-see.

There are films that I call disposable. Today, I spent the whole day at home, watching Predator, Predator 2, Predators, the Alien quadrilogy (director's cut), Alien vs. Predator 1 and 2, and I didn't regret it; it was quite enjoyable. In general, I like to watch films like that, all at once. I noticed a certain connection in the details between the films I watched today. I also watched all the X-Men movies. I've never seen Harry Potter before, so I'm looking forward to it. Let's see how it turns out.

It's loading, and I'm definitely expecting a lot from the movie. Let's see what comes out of it.

In vain. Although, some parts are not bad. In places.

Six months ago, I watched all the Harry Potter movies in a row, from the first to the sixth, after reading the corresponding book series (I re-read the earlier ones, and read the later ones for the first time). With tears in my eyes, I watched as Hermione transformed from a cute girl with fluffy hair into a vulgar old woman with greasy, sparse hair. And in real-time, I observed the films' decline. Also, I found it extremely unpleasant to watch the fourth part, where everyone suddenly grew terrible, long hair. Oh my god, it really bothered me back then.

Well, upon rereading the books, the emotions are not the best. Harry and his companions are morally depraved; even the Dursleys don't compare to them. Hagrid is a socially dangerous simpleton. And there are many, many other things. Some people even analyze all these points.

You have to be really high to see things that don't exist.
