The International is one of the best espionage movies (besides the Good Shepherd and The Lives of Others) of the last 20 years.

Casino Royale was the best Craig era bond movie by far.

Mission Impossible peaked with MI3

Casino Royale was the best Craig era bond movie by far.

The rest didn't really try all that much. Plus, uh... Green was hot.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Easy 7/10, really well done and seeing the flip from act two into three was a nice little surprise; only reason it's not higher, and this is a little unfair to it as it's my own knowledge and not necessarily a fault in the writing:

Spoiler

It's a little easy to spot the beats of where things are going even in the beginning of the movie: Noa is the son of the clan, he's going to end up as the head of the clan. Noa doesn't have the ability to command the eagles like his father or clan, he's going to learn for the finale. Raka is the Obi-Wan to his Luke and sacrificed himself when he believes he must. Proximus is a parallel to any power hungry human, and just wants to beat us to regaining power so they can keep it.

Not to say that those are BAD things by any means, it's a very logical story to tell, it's just that once you know that method of storytelling you're in it for the journey, not the destination.

Went and saw Deadpool & Wolverine yesterday with the wife for our wedding anniversary. Plot was rubbish but the jokes and ridiculous action scenes mostly made up for it.
It only went too over the top for me when the main bad guy was made funny. Should've kept all the side characters somewhat serious imo.
