Ghostbusters (2016) - 20%

All about girls having their dreams of being with Chris Hemsworth come true.
It is a movie that, I guess.. appeals to women. It was pretty goofy.
There was a scene or two that made me laugh.
It started out good and about 1/3 of the way I thought to my self "this movie is alright."
Then it went south... and the rest of the movie took away any hope that it had.
It was boring and painful to watch.

Watched it on www.vidangel.com before it was taken down... I miss vidangel.

Miss Peregrine's Home - 90%

Image result for mrs peregrine home for peculiar

Really enjoyed it.

The style, character development, story was all good.
Watched it on www.vidangel.com before it was taken down.
The previews did their best to spoil everything.
Felt a little like X-Men sometimes...
Lots of time loops and time traveling so as per fairly complicated.
Felt really long...

Rogue One - 95%

Better than Episodes 1, 2, 3, and 7.

I was surprised at how good it was.

Least favorite character was K-2SO. Felt very O.P. Would have been cool if the good K-2SO got into a fight with a bad K-2SO and the bad one won and took out a few of the good guys,

I thought they did a good job with Tarkin and Leia. Leia was better. If they didn't give Tarkin so much screen time it would have been better.

Great story. Wife said it felt a little shoehorned.

I thought it was dumb how they had no hesitation about blowing up all the archives and that they were stored all in one place and in a silo for them to climb around on. Back ups and self-destruct data would have saved the empire a lot of trouble.

The ending felt like the Pompeii movie.

Chirrut Imwe was annoying.

Cassian Andor was cool with his personal conflicts.

It definitely left with a sense of hope about future Star Wars movies.
Episode 7 was such a disappointment...
