What gives? I'm disappointed. Here I was all set to go gaga over these, and other, movies and they got to the warning track and died at the wall, just short of a homerun. Underwhelming!

Deposit your displeasure here.......

Anything ' Alien ' related. Or 'Tranformers'. Or ' Mummy '. Or 'Pirates'. Anyone else see a trend here ?

I've not even watched Logan yet, because I get the gist of how it ends. I'll see it, eventually, but not in the theatre.

Liked Guardians, but it could have been a bit better.
Liked Wonder Woman the best, so far. I don't think it reached its potential, meaning it could have been so much better, but I don't regret the $ spent. ( No movie is worth 3-D money. Sorry. Just not impressed enough )

But The Mummy wasn't disappointing, although I had lower expectations. I noticed the end credits score was the Theme from Conspiracy Theory, which may have been derivative of something like Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.

Saw Wonder Woman Saturday, and while not horrible...neither of us LIKED it either.
HATED the part where she was trying to convince Chris Pine to lay down with her on the boat, liked the part where she took out the sniper. That end battle was just... lame. Oh, stand here and wait while I go get my sword.

Here is a list for next year.

I'm sure Hubby will see Deadpool 2 and the kid wants to see Incredibles 2
and we will see Infinity Wars when they are all out, but it's still a short list.

An exclusive group of policymakers, philanthropists and famous people (hey isn’t that Bradley Cooper?) gathered specifically to toast the institute’s partnership with the Library of Congress to preserve America’s cinematic history by safely storing more than 37,000 motion pictures.

Is saving the movies anything like saving the world? One ex-president said yes.
