Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

Really enjoyed it, it has all the usual strong points and the final sequence literally had my palms sweating. But this is pretty much the same film as the last three. As flawed as the second film is (though I still enjoy a lot about it), I kind of miss the days when the franchise was doing something wildly different with each installment, before JJ combined everything good about the first two movies and the tv show and filed off the rough edges.
It also runs a little long. That combined with the lack of surprises makes this an MI film I'm not likely to re-watch for a few years at least.
Rating: Good

Hell or High Water (2016)

Low-key neo-western, solid all-round if a little slight and full of tropes. Mainly enjoyable for the performances.
Rating: Good

Justice League (2017)

SPOILERS BELOW

Whedon Cut:

Vapid. It's just character intro after character intro then this 2010-era video game character stealing cubes one after the other, then a big CG battle. I thought Batman looked less cool in this one, too - lots of shots when you catch him being a guy in a muscle suit doing some goofy pose. And Cyborg looked tacky as shit. A couple of good bits were bringing Supes back to life - first the debate over it, then doing it and him coming back all pissed off, built up well - and the Amazon chase to keep the cube away from Steppenwolf. But overall, crappy.

Rating: Bad

Snyder Cut:

I don't know if it's because I already saw a different version of this, or just because it's too unremarkable, but it's hard for me to form an opinion on this.
It certainly felt like it gave everything enough time to breathe, which helped with the vapidity problem. Considering it has three new heroes to introduce, 4 hours running time isn't all that crazy (even though the Flash and Aquaman stuff was so disposable and ill-fitting respectively, it felt better to have something there). It's clear to see why the theatrical release felt like such a hatchet job - this movie was built around a 4 hour runtime.

But really, this has the typical Snyder feel of a feature-length music video - there's no variety in tone or pacing, every moment is geared towards being cool and epic and super-deep and meaningful, and nothing feels real. It's hard to pick out anything specific to criticise (apart from the jarring, patchwork score perhaps), it's just all rather dull and charmless. Judging by my reaction to previous Snyder movies, I'd probably realise this is terrible if I watched it again, but for now it seems merely inoffensive.

Rating: Meh.

Wonder Woman (2017)

Mediocre at best. Meandering, with some obvious twists and so many walking tropes in place of characters. There are three villains and not one has any depth - come back Spider-Man 3 and Batman Returns, all is forgiven. I think this movie got cut a ton of slack for being a non-terrible DC movie - if it were a Marvel movie it'd be getting rated down with Thor 2.
Rating: Fine

The Tourist (2010)

It was okay. I thought Depp was pretty funny doing a Cary Grant thing and I enjoyed the espionage stuff at the start, but the romance angle takes over the movie without ever really convincing. And I twigged the ending within the first ten minutes of meeting Depp's character, although I assumed she was in on it so I started to doubt it in the last half hour.
Still, some good action and generally charming.
Rating: Fine

Incredibles 2 (2018)

SPOILERS BELOW

Some heavier-handed stating of themes and some issues with structure - mainly that it's essentially a re-run of the first movie, beat for beat, and that it's not really much fun when the Incredible parents get hypnotised. All the action sequences, acting and family dynamics are still great though. One final issue - no resolution with the Underminer! Rating: Good

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Not half as amateurish as the first JW, and it even has one legit great extended sequence (starting with meeting Blue all the way through the volcano exploding and then the escape from the island), but once that is over, it moves to a big mansion for the rest of the movie and goes through all the same tired old beats over and over - meddling scientists, greedy suits who get their gruesome comeuppance, some associate of Hammond popping out of the woodwork (the one in this film is so similar to Hammond that I was pretty sure he was going to turn out to be a clone), getting saved from one dinosaur when it gets attacked by another, and just endlessly getting chased around small rooms getting snapped at through handy clutter by raptor-type dinos.
The very ending was pretty sweet, though, even if it was pure sequel set-up.
Rating: Bad

Paddington 2 (2017)

The social commentary isn't so strongly entwined into the story (one could argue it talks about criminal rehabilitation but I'm not wholly convinced), but it is still full of wonderful slapstick, whimsy and action, and has a much better villain.
Rating: Good
