Yeah, I saw The Revenant and Star Wars.
I'll see X-Men, Jason Bourne, Star Trek, and maybe Sausage Party and that will more than likely do it for the year for me unless the girlfriend wants to see something.
I'll wait until The Nice Guys, Finding Dory, Independence Day 2, and The Infiltrator are released on BluRay.
It's just hard for me to justify going to the movies these days. Money better spent elsewhere. Those four movies will end up costing $80 if my girl goes with me.
I saw it before Star Wars, The Huntsman (Traci's idea) and Civil War. It embarrasses me when I see a trailer like that in front of my wife...I then have to console her and let her know that I, too, think it is absolute fuggin dog squeeze.
Eh a lot of people said Days of Future Past looked bad and it's probably top 3 sh movie.
In saying that, it looks to be j-law and the xmen.

The theater near me offers $6 tickets between 4-5:30, so that's when it try to go. Otherwise, yea it blows.
Speaking of Star Trek... I also thought it looked weak... And I liked the first two.
True Story.
Jonah Hill questions a suspected murderer(James Franco) in prison awaiting trial.
Decent right up to the end. Didn't have much of a climax. Would recommend for the story though.

Watched Southbound...
It was different, not bad but not good. Kinda left me with a eh feeling after the movie.

"From the director of Fast and Furious" is always a bad sign..
This looks like the On Stranger Tides installment of the series..
Spring Breakers
What would happen if you handed Terrence Malick a limited stack of "Girls Gone Wild" videos, asked him to make a movie based on them, then hand over directorial duties to Lars Von Trier midway through production? This movie.

Spring breaaaaaaaaaaak..... Spring break, forever
Now You See Me- The wife was wanting to watch this and it looked mildly interesting so we gave it a go. Worst movie I've seen in quite awhile. Pretty solid cast wasted on a terrible, absurd script. That ending was so laughably amateur-hour and basically turned what could have otherwise been a flawed, but reasonably fun movie into a complete abomination. I can't believe a sequel got the greenlight.
Zoolander 2- IDK. I don't get what people were expecting from this. Sure it's nowhere near as good as the original but it ended up being about what I expected from a decade-too-late sequel to what was a very dumb movie in the first place. It had some good laughs.

Ben Stiller comedy has run its course. It's time for him to only do more serious roles.
Like I said, a decade too late. My gripe is people who hold the original Zoolander on this pedestal, who then thought the sequel was absolute trash. I just don't get what they were expecting. IMHO the sequel wasn't all that different from the original. Yes the script was noticeably weaker but it was the exact same type of humor. Rarely is a comedy sequel script ever as good as the original.
Dont get the idea of doing sequels ages after the original like Zoolander or Dumb and Dumber. They're not movies worth a sequel and the magic is so far gone.
And let's be honest, comedies getting popular really do just catch lightning in a bottle. I don't think anyone expects a comedy to do as well as Zoolander, Anchorman, or Dumb and Dumber did.
The originals of these comedy movies are always better, but like Gunny said, don't try to make a sequel a decade and a half later if you do indeed decide to do one. Only in action and science fiction movies have I found sequels that are better than the original like Aliens > Alien. I started to do the first 2 Rambo's but damn they are both really good.
I tend to go easier on comedies than other genres when rating/reviewing them. My main objective when watching a comedy is to laugh. And that can sometimes be accomplished even with a stupid story and weak script. E.G. Zoolander 2. I laughed enough time to consider watching it worth my time. Will I ever watch it again? No.
I watched the Entourage movie today. Being a fan of the show I really liked the movie. It was nothing special, just a really long episode of the show, basically.
I would have liked a little more of a story for Turtle other him meeting Ronda Rousey.

Perfect Example: Army of Darkness
A lot of times I would question why I found something in that movie funny, despite how stupid it was.
X-Men: Apocalypse
3 out of 5 stars
I went in with an open mind and left with a "meh" kind of feeling. The Apocalypse they created just wasn't what I was expecting, but I give them a B for at least trying to make him someone we recognize from the past. I honestly would of been alright if they went the Thanos route and completely CGI'd the dude. The script was exactly the doomsday kind of story everyone expected. It did have more than the occasional laugh which was nice.
I will definitely buy the movie when it comes out on DVD but I am still questioning if it was worth the $45 we paid to see it last night.

On comedy sequels- for whatever reason comedies hold more of an untouchable nostalgia. Maybe it's because people saw the first when they were young and everything was an easier joke?
But there's hardly much difference at all between most of them. So people acting like they loved one and hated the other... it's just odd.
