Just watched that one too.
5/10 for Jack Reacher - Never Go Back
The first one was great 8/10
But this second one was nowhere near as good.Blair Witch - 5/10 nothing really awful about it, just no good really as a sequel to the Blair Witch which is still one of my favourite ever horror films
The Autopsy of Jane Doe - 8/10 This was really a great film, told it's story very well and I liked the ending a lot, didn't see it coming at all.
Now I want to watch some more horror.

Looper -- 7/10
Time-travelling neo-noir? Yes, please. Keeps your grey cells moving, even if some bits are contrived and not physically that sound. But then again, what sci-fi avoids fudging for dramatic effect?

The Hollywood Doctrine:
1) Mass consumption: common American accents; sometimes subtitles.
2) Period drama: call the Brits.
3) Gritty and authentic: stuff cotton wool in their mouths.

Mechanic Resurrection.
Watched this twice whilst on holiday (once on ferry from Koh Lipe and once on the flight home).
It was equally bad the second time.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest. Badass.
Deadpool - 4/10
If you don't find this film funny, then it does absolutely nothing that other Marvel films don't do 10x better. I didn't find it funny.
The jokes are supposed to carry the film; indeed when people praise the film it almost entirely revolves around its "sense of humour".
But for those of us who don't find crass, mindless American humour in the slightest funny, there is only a very mediocre, unoriginal, uninspired, seen-it-all-before film that never leaves cruise control for a moment.

Jaws (the original)
Classic film. Had it on the projector too and looked pretty good. Few dated moments, sure, but still holds up well! Great main characters and brilliant banter between them makes the film for me. That scene at the end is still horrifying too!
9/10

On first cinema viewing I enjoyed it. When it hit sky I rewatched it and dislike it quite a bit. I guess like you say, without the humor, it's a lacking film.
The more you watch it the more Reynolds grates on you.
However as a comic book adaption, there's nothing better out there, it literally is the comic but on big screen.
It's quite marmite, I get that, it personally tickles me with a lot of the humour but I can be quite puerile. The story is lacking but this was a movie to get people used to the character, I believe with Deadpool 2 the plan is to do a more serious story with Cable.
It did so well as it was a breath of fresh air against all the dis-marvel cookie cutter movies. I'm burnt out on Marvel universe movies, they literally all have the exact same formula just with interchangeable characters.

Deadpool was never intended to be a likeable character, once again being spot-on in terms of comic-to-movie transfer

Assassins Creed - 7/10
Enjoyed it, but the end is a bit of a let down.

The Girl on the Train 7/10
Overall an good watch if a little predictable.
Sully 6/10
Good acting but a little pedestrian, more of a "documentary" than a film.
