Warcraft - a bit disappointed, it should be much better



Score: 6.5/10

Now you see me 2 - not as good as the first one , don't expect too much as the plot is more or less similar.


Score: 7/10

Captain America: Civil War - it is not really exciting, fighting with each other is not as spectacular as fighting with some aliens with super powers.  One key part I think is a flaw - is it worth so much effort to let Stark to watch a video clip with the presence of Bucky?  I think there are many far easier ways to do it.

Score: 7.5/10

Japan's Longest Day - the movie itself is quite good except that it is all from their own viewpoints.  The film tried to tell what happened before they surrendered in WWII, how different parties - the emperor, the marine and the land troops, the old and the young generations of the army see the best interest of the Japanese future.  The Emperor was filmed as a leader who valued the life and future of its people, but in fact he was the one with a key role in starting the war.


Score - 7/10

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice - not bad at all, except there are too much talking at the first half.


Score - 7/10

thenext

Allegiant - story is not good, acting is not so so.  One may watch it to kill time -

Score: 6/10

thenext

The Lady in the Van - the movie is based on a real story.  It is not entertaining but the acting by Maggie Smith is spectacular.

Score: 6.5/10

thenext

道士下山 - the story / plot is poor and unreasonable, the action is like HK movies 30 years ago.  This may not be a complete rubbish but definitely a waste of time.


Score:  3/10

thenext

Eye in the Sky - British trying to justify for bombing other people.  There is a detail bombing decision process and military line of report -


Score: 6/10

thenext

Remember - it is about how an old man revenge his whole family who were killed by Nazi during WWII.  It is really good, and I promise that you won't regret watching it -


Score: 9 / 10

thenext

Man up - a surprisingly good comedy and love story, love it -




Score:  7/10

thenext

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi - a bit boring at the beginning, don't expect too much


Score : 5 /10

thenext

10 Cloverfield Lane - it is unexpectedly good, worth any minute of my time watching it  -


Score : 8 /10

The Americans has just finished Season 4.  It is great.  It is a hidden gem that not many here know about -

thenext

London has fallen - don't expect much on the story, but the CG effect is great and everything looks so real -

thenext

Agent's of SHIELD Season 3 - Marvel's TV series running parallel with Avengers movie series.  It doesn't make sense why no avenger appears in this shows as they are supposed in the same place.  Anyway, it is good -

thenext

The Revenant - a bit boring, drag on too long and I have to fast forwarded from time to time -

thenext

The 5th Wave - it is one of those young adult film, so if you are a big sci fi fan and young (even though it is at heart), you may watch it -

thenext

The Hunger Games - the 1st and 2nd of the series are ok.  The third one (incl. both parts) drags on too long, hence better skip it -
