Mortal Engines (2018)
Visually thrilling and the story is fine despite the naysayers
I loved this movie! What's wrong with everyone! Sure there are plot components very similar to those in other movies we love, but that only adds to the film's appeal for me. It's like a punk Star Wars. There is a decidedly Ghibli feel to Anna's ship. Hester's closeups remind me of Legolas's closeups. There's a Mad Max feel. Ragtag fall in love beat the big baddy. Etc. but that and other components of the actual story that seem borrowed made it feel like a familiar painting from a new angle. I loved every minute of this movie.
A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (2018)
7 out of 10 in the category "sappy Christmas romance"
It's a sappy, predictable, Christmasy, romance with snow and cookies and sleigh rides. I love it.
Ocean's Eight (2018)
Funny, clever, above average
I'm not sure why people don't like it. It has many of the great elements from 11 and a great cast. The motivation for the heist is a lot more suspect than in 11 so you feel a bit less for the characters but it's still an above average heist comedy movie, I would say an above average movie overall. I enjoyed it.
Jurassic World (2015)
If you love the Jurassic movies, it's a 9.
It has everything I loved about Jurassic Park. The music, acting, golden Jurassic rule about the kids always being fine, humor, wows, and really big dinosaurs. The plot was as believable as a movie about dinosaurs can be. It's just a really fun movie to watch with nifty nods to the original but still content-heavy enough to hold its own weight.
The New Legends of Monkey (2018)
Perfect campy adventury fun
This is the best thing I've seen on Netflix in ages. It has everything that makes a fiction adventure tale perfect. The main characters are great and you like them. I hope they keep this going.
