Muppets Most Wanted 6/10.
It was ok, just like I thought the last one was 'ok'. It had its funny moments, Gervais was a bit annoying (as expected really) and the final credits sequence was excellent. The list of cameos was endless and the first song was fantastic, but at the end of it, it was just 'ok'. According to Kermode's mantra, comedy films must obey the 6 laugh rule, any less laughs, then they are bad comedy films. This one just scraped over.
I think its because I adore the Muppet Christmas Carol, I just don't think that can ever be topped.

LOTR films were great especially given the books they were based on really do go on, and on, and on..... Some needless changes and strange omissions but over-all I enjoyed them. The Hobbit films in comparison are poor but then the book is a relatively short children's novel and doesn't offer the necessary scope for 3 films. Added to that the utterly awful use of CGI.
Frozen
Very pleasantly surprised. A great family night in. Not as much humour as the likes of Shrek/Toy Story for us 'adults' but still enjoyable.
7.5/10
A brilliant film.

Just come back from this tonight, my film of the year so far, just fantastic.

Fruitville station, after it was mentioned here a while back.
7/10 found it quite boring until the last 20 minutes, then it got very real. not sure why but found that quite hard to watch.

The Counsellor - Got so much hate, but I actually liked it. yes its so slow, so very slow but when it all kicks in its depressing as anything. Its amazingly shot and I think everyone plays there part pretty well. 7.5/10
Saving Mr Banks - Heard a lot about this film, especially since it was snubbed by the Academy. Completely brilliant film, funny where it needs to be, great emotional ending and has a lot of charm about it. Emma Thompson really did deserve to be nominated at the very least. 9/10

Super - Absolutely amazing film in places and down right bizarre in others, flew under the radar because of Kick Ass but i think its a better film.
9/10
9/10

Frozen 7.5/10 - Quite enjoyed this actually. Big fan of animation in particular Pixar's and this was right up there. Bit too much singing etc early on but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. Good story line and the animation was very good even when watched on our crappy old 40" LCD.
Capt America 6/10 - found this okay at best. Storyline kept me interested and action was good but I'm not a big fan of repetitive sequal on sequal superhero films so probably just not my cup of tea.For this type of film average at best.

Yeah. I liked Frozen, it was enjoyable.
Went to the cinema to see Captain america 2 - absolutely loved it, I know some people viewed the first one as a bit bland and as just filler until the avengers, but the winter solider really buts captain america on the map, great all around film and has some big consequences for the marvel universe - Highly recommend watching it

Zodiac 7/10 It's main problem is it's far to long and doesn't get down to the catch fast enough. A lot of scenes dont need to really be in it imo. Other than that solid movie.

The Bourne Legacy
An enjoyable bit of film to entertain me for two hours; I wasn't bored once!
It has a pretty weak connection to the original trilogy, which were fantastic imo, but it is enough of a connection to make the film not seem pointless!
The storyline is weak, and the acting pretty average, but good enough that I wouldn't have been angry had I gone to see it at the cinema.
5/10
August: Osage County
This film had a pretty low metascore (I know I shouldn't rely on it too much), so I didn't go in expecting much.
I was pleasantly surprised. Streep puts on a fantastic performance, which was definitely worth the Oscar nomination. The same goes for Roberts, who was also fantastic.
I thought that the story got a little confused at times, leaving a not very easy to follow plot.
Characters faded in and out quite quickly.
Overall a very solid film, with some top notch performances.
8/10
