Then the movie became laughable which was fun. A lot of the other patrons were chuckling during what were supposed to be the big dramatic moments in the movie. 4/10

Yeah there are a lot of people who didn’t like it but I did like the main character. I’m into sci-fi and used to read Manga. I liked it more than most because of the different cyborgs and action. The story was sort of lame though, especially for sci-fi, but I did like the world. I totally understand your opinion though.

I'm totally into sci-fi too, but Blade Runner it was not.

Not that I expected it to be at that level. And as gorgeous as the film was, it was just lacking in everything underneath... so if there is an "Alita 2" I'm hopping off the bandwagon now.

I didn’t say it was Blade Runner. I said it was a mixture of things. I think this movie is a niche movie. I liked that world even though it could of been done better.

haha, I know you didn't say... I said it! Not that I judge every sci-fi movie to a Blade Runner-standard.

You know a movie that really surprised me recently was "Us And Them"... it's on Netflix. Very touching.

4. Captain Marvel, grade C = very disappointed in this movie, but I don’t know why. I never really liked the trailers. The movie is just ok. It’s not terrible but it’s not really good either. It’s slow to start and has pacing problems. There is something very off about Brie Larson’s performance. She doesn’t feel comfortable in the role. I’ve come to the conclusion that she was just miscast. At the end of the movie, I still couldn’t tell you what Captain Marvel’s personality really is. Very odd. The supporting cast is better. Oh well still excited for End Game. This is not one Marvels best movies but it’s not the worst. Toward the bottom though. She deserved better.

5. Captive State, grade D+ = I’m still confused over the plot of this movie. It’s a bad knockoff of Independence Day and V. Aliens take over the world and the movie is about the resistance, only there is not much action, the plot is confusing and the movie is boring. I was glad when it was over.
