Tomb Raider: 0/10
That was an hour 45 minutes of my life wasted. Worst reboot ever. I liked Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina but holy shit this was dreadful.

^^Ex Machina was very cool.

I liked her in The Man From UNCLE, which was also pointless and terrible. She should probably stop doing reboots.

I had this checked out from the library before but never watched it. Looks like an easy pass

Avatar: 9/10
Really liked it. Well written characters and the story was fantastic. Can’t believe I waited this long to watch it

I can’t believe that’s what you thought of it.

Why? It’s not a terrible film

I think because the most common complaints against the film were the derivative characters and story. From a technical perspective, it's an amazing film. It will be very interesting to see how Cameron raises the bar with the next three, after years in pre-pro.
I'll take AVATAR over 98% of these superhero films, though (BLACK PANTHER & SPIDERVERSE, excluded).

It looks good, but the characters and plot were staggeringly tired.
I heard somewhere that the same Colonel is going to be the main bad guy in all the sequels. That’s potentially disaterous in my opinion, as he was so bad in the first. He looked more like Major Chip Hazard in Small Soldiers than Major Chip Hazard did in Small Soldiers. Just a one-dimensional military lump we’ve seen a thousand times.

You've just described 90% of the films out there

I can't stand superhero-films in general but I'm gonna suck it up and try my luck with "Logan", full report to follow.
I am 100% with you, I find the energy sunk into comic book films is such a waste when we could have fresh ideas instead of constantly rehashing these tired tropes. But they sell I suppose.
But Logan was a decent film–perhaps some of my tolerance of it is due to the fact Wolverine was probably my favorite superhero as a child, but it was genuinely different--dark, bleak, and more profoundly apocalyptic than I can only presume X-Men: Apocalypse was.
-
So I postponed ”Logan” and watched ”Backstabbing for Beginners” instead - bad move on my part as this was disgustingly bad, stupid and plain bad. I don’t know who was the guy who played the role of the main protagonist but I do know that I never want to see him on anything again, ever. The producers must have some compromising polaroids of Ben Kingsley as I don’t think he would have agreed to feature otherwise.
It’s a 3/10 courtesy of 1 or 2 interesting scenes. A hard pass.

Any of you watch Glass yet? Sounds promising

Trailer for JOHN WICK 3 is out… Let's be honest: it is the best movie series ever made... I am not joking...
I'll reserve judgement until Chapter 3 comes out, but the first two were a lot of fun.

I saw it today. I enjoyed it, but it's not as good as Unbreakable or Split.
The Empire review gave it 3/5, which would seem fair.
