Movie Review: Captain America


14 Jun

I was surprised by the sadness of the ending. I know Cap came about in WWII, and they had to bring him forward to the modern day for The Avengers, but I was not expecting them to basically make him lose everything right before the end of the movie. His best friend dies- he at least gets revenge for that. Then he crashes the plane and remains buried under ice for almost 70 years. Sure he’s still alive but everyone he loves is dead. That sucks, and is an unusual note for a super hero movie to leave us on.

Movie Review: Thor


13 Jun

I actually expected Thor to be a worse movie than it was. That’s a ringing endorsement if I’ve ever written one. Natalie Portman and Chris Hemsworth were both adorable. The storyline wasn’t great, and I thought that maybe more time should have passed on Earth for Thor to learn humility, but it still worked for what it was.

Of course, we know Thor is back for The Avengers, so we did wonder if they had meant Thor 2 to come out before that movie, since this one ends with Thor supposedly being trapped inValhalla, with no path to Earth.
