Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It was really good. I feel like it could have done a little better delivering its messages, it teases but passes up a really interesting opportunity at explaining the ape culture and beliefs, and at the end it basically devolved into an action movie, which I felt was gratuitous and over the top for a movie like this, but otherwise it was very good. 8.5/10.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation. It was a decent action flick but for the life of me I cannot figure out why Cobra Commander would [color=’#191919’]have the disarm button blow up the satellites. Why not just have it NOT drop the rods they were about to drop, that way if all the world leaders HAD gone along with his plan, he’d still have his WMD satellites in orbit in case anyone tried anything? Just seems really out of character for and evil genius like CC to voluntarily disarm himself like that. Anyway, whatever, all that really matters is the Rock beats up bad guys and people shoot guns and stuff explodes and there’s ninja swordfights and Lady Jaye is hot. 7/10.
