Terribly disappointed with this. I’m a huge JGL fan, and have liked pretty much everything he’s been in…until now. Don’t know where the IMDB 7.0 rating is coming from. (Also, STILL don’t understand the Scarlett Johansson thing…)* (running time 1:30)

* I ended up giving it a 4 on IMDB. And it’s almost four years later, and still don’t get the appeal of Johansson.

Great movie, and the third of the trilogy, after Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. (I’m not counting that weird ET one.) It’s too bad I can’t tell you much about it. Believe me, you don’t want me to. Don’t even read the description below!* Just watch it. I will say that it stands a very good chance of cracking my top 10 of 2013. (running time 1:49)

Going to keep this one short. You know what you’re getting into with this one, especially if you’ve seen the first one. It’s not highbrow cinema, by any means. It’s frenetic, and often times unbelievable, but it’s also a lot of fun. I thought Parker and Malkovich were quite funny, and I have a bit of a man-crush on Willis, so any movie that he’s in, I’m going to watch. IMDB gives it a 7.2, which seems very high, especially when taking into account some of the critical reviews out there. I really enjoyed it, and I think if you liked the first one, you’ll like this one, too. I’m giving it a 6, or 6.5 if you’re a fan of any of the players. (running time 1:56)
