Saw the Secret Life of Pets with the whole family. My three kids loved it! Pretty formulaic design for a comedy but it still worked. I would give it a solid 7.5/10.
Suicide Squad was very well done. Figured it would be a fun movie when the critics trashed it.
Saw Suicide Squad and would probably give it a 6/10. Great cast, I liked the plot/idea, but thought the execution, poor editing, and too many deleted scenes were significant detriments. I've never seen a movie cut out so many clips that were highlighted in trailers from the final film. It's definitely better than what most critics are saying, but I understand a lot of the criticisms. The use of popular music and fun factor (humor) make it pretty appealing to those who weren't necessarily fans of Man of Steel or Batman v Superman. For whatever reason, it seems poor editing is a staple of these films; first BvS and now Suicide Squad suffering from it.
My buddy saw the movie and he liked it. He said the best character by far... Harley Quinn. He also said he didn't like the portrayal of the Joker at all.

I liked the movie as well, so don't let my harsh comments fool you, haha. Harley was great in the movie (heck, she'd be great reading a phone book for three hours), but I also liked the Joker. Not a fan of how little they used or even introduced him, though. Several of his clips in the trailer were also cut from the film, which makes the sample size for review even smaller. Some other characters seemed to have sizable (important?) scenes cut as well, which I found frustrating.
IMO BvS improved with their Ultimate Edition (adding 30 minutes back in) and while it's a bad trend for WB, I think this film could benefit from adding some deleted scenes back in for the Blu-Ray version, too.
Saw Office Christmas Party, really enjoyed it. Great turn your mind off comedy :D
My brother didn't think the new Star Wars movie was that great. I usually like to avoid opening weekend crowds. Will probably see it over the holidays.
When the last Friday the 13th movie came out (2009) I saw it twice in the theatre.
Of course, I went on opening night and there was a decent crowd. I went back the following Monday at like 1 PM and I was the only one in the theatre. Talk about avoiding the crowd. :D
Rogue One was OK. I liked the first half of the movie. It's yet another Death Star movie but I knew this was about the rebels that stole the plans before the original movie. That didn't bother me. I liked the characters for the most part which were all new. The music wasn't very good imo. They didn't use a lot of classic music as they tweaked it. Plus they were constantly playing overly dramatic music with big drums even when it wasn't a dramatic scene.
My biggest issue was the second half of the movie. Too many over used things like "need to take out the shield" to get to the B part of the plan. Very tired of that part of Star Wars writing. And the obstacles they faced down the stretch were overdone and stupid. I don't think a high school writer would come up with some of them. You have to turn your brain off completely to accept some of this stuff. Star Wars has always been like that to a degree with Stormtroopers the worst shooters in any army in history but this was bad and they dragged it out. The movie should have been under two hours.
First half was a solid 8. Second half a 5 for a 6.5 score. Still glad I saw it but this won't be purchased when released on blu ray.
Let me expand my issues with the stupidity of the final battle/mission:
Spoiler: show
I saw the latest Bourne movie. Didn't have a very original plot. Just something to create an action Bourne sequel and make money. Wasn't bad. Just an average popcorn movie.
My wife and I saw Hidden Figures. We both loved it. It was great to learn about these 3 amazing woman who pioneered so much at NASA who never got their due in their time.

My kids loved Moana. I thought it was pretty subpar actually but it is visually stunning.
Saw Why Him, it was pretty damn funny. I think we're going to see Hidden Figures next week.
