It has been a while since I last posted on my personal blog. My music blog keeps me pretty occupied. That said I have seen quite a few movies this summer season. I thought I would post my faves and least faves of movies I have seen this season. I am going to rank them from my very favorite to my least favorite.
Wonder Woman has definitely been my favorite film I have seen this year and during the summer blockbuster season. I love Gal Gadot as Diana Prince but it was Robin Wright as her aunt Antiope who stole the movie with her fight scenes. I thought the writing was far better than I thought. The movie was immensely a lot of fun to watch. I had a hard time picking which would come in at number two between Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and War of the Planet of the Apes but ultimately I ended up picking Guardians. I just loved the storyline for Yondu so much which really made the sequel for me, that and the soundtrack.
That said, War of the Planet of the Apes was as good as the trailers made the film out to be. Woody Harrelson was great as the Colonel who was hellbent on putting an end to the existence of the apes. I also loved Amiah Miller as Nova, the mute girl that Maurice took under his wing. I love how Maurice was able to bring back the humanity in Ceasar who almost became like Koba in the film. The film score was great too.
I enjoyed Alien: Covenant and I thought it was better than Prometheus but I didn't think it was as memorable as Alien and Aliens. I think the trailers gave too much away and made it fairly easy to predict what would happen to the characters in the film. Still I really enjoyed Michael Fassbander as Walter and David who were totally night and day from each other. Not a fan of Danny McBride's comedic work but his performance in this film was a highlight for me. Visually, I felt the film was very compelling. I loved the creatures that manifested from David's labratory.
My least favorite films this year so far has to be the latest installments in the Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises. They were 30-45 minutes too long and bogged down by horrible writing. Geoffrey Rush and Javier Bardem were the only good things about Dead Men Tell No Tales. There was nothing good about The Last Night, not one damn thing.
I will probably go see the new Spiderman film soon. Maybe. Spiderman isn't a comic book character I can get excited about to be honest.
