Rate the Last Movie You Saw

Finally got around to watching IT Chapter II. Think I may just be in a bad mood as I didn't care for it much. They spent way to much time on special effects and not enough on the actual story. I think they somehow missed the mark on this one.

I have been avoiding this mostly because I believe it is not a story that can be told well visually. Part one in both the miniseries and the movie were great. Part two went off the rails in the mini series and I was fearful the same would happen again. Chapter II was better than the miniseries but still failed to translate the story well. If I was to rate it I would say 2 to 2.5 stars.

Family watched the new Netflix animated movie The Mitchells vs. The Machines. It was very enjoyable. We've been on a streak of lots of not very good movies, mostly predictable horror. Although I did find an older Paul Rudd movie Our Idiot Brother which was good for a laugh.

Another Netflix movie called Stowaway. The movie had some nice elements of sci-fi mixed with some great drama. For me the movie lacked in a few places and left me more interested in the overall mission and less about the characters. I felt a little underwhelmed with the ending but think many would find this worth a watch.

3 out of 5 stars.

The Dig on Netflix. The movie was gorgeous visually and started out strong with some great interpersonal, both spoken and unspoken, exchanges between Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. However as the movie progressed, more characters were added, and those characters subplots removed me from, what was otherwise, I nice period piece.

2.5 out of 5 stars.

You are welcome. Hope you like it. It's a movie that I think will stick with me for awhile.

I’ve been meaning to check this one out for awhile. Thanks for the reminder!
