Ditto what Jeremy said. I was impressed how it was a mix of action and humor, with neither one being too overpowering. I get that the core of Star Trek is more philosophical than action-oriented, but that’s for the TV shows. The movies are supposed to be fun, and this one certainly is!

Great article and I couldn’t agree more. It was some of the most fun I’ve had at the movies in a long time. The action seems nonstop for most of the movie, and that could have been draining, but the humor and the excitement keeps it fresh throughout. I’d also call out Simon Pegg’s Scotty as a standout among the crew. He provided great fun and levity. Cumberbatch is brilliant as the villain I can’t wait to hear more menacing dialogue from him in the Desolation of Smaug. Thanks for the great review!

Yes, it’s hard to get into the best game of intrigue if there’s noone worth rooting for. Sounds a bit like a fictional version of “Runaway Slave.” My review of that will be up shortly.

I don’t know if I was let down by high expectations, or if the movie itself just wasn’t that good, but overall I did not enjoy Iron Man 3 all that much. It was entertaining at times, but I found it to be overly complicated and somewhat plodding. The ending was the sort of Deus ex Machina that I generally don’t like to see in movies, though they did drop a few hints that it was going to happen that way earlier in the film.

This is one of the most truly crazy, ludicrous, self-reflexive, irony-free, bizarre, and entertaining films to get wide release in quite some time. Can’t say I loved that aspect, but it made it unique in a way. Good review Matt.

I’m a sucker for big dumb action movies, and for anything with Morgan Freeman. Sure this movie looks dumb, but I’m still kind of anxious to see it :)

Yeah, it was pretty much screenwriting 101 for the most part. It seemed weird for that to be the case with the cast they assembled for the movie

I’m pretty sure that line was loaded with sarcasm, Gavin :)

A reluctant hero? A prophecy? A joking sidekick? Where have I seen these before…oh yeah, in just about every movie. Too bad Disney seems to have played it safe here instead of really exploring what could have been an incredible back story for the Wizard of Oz.
