Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Go ahead and downvote you know it's true
I had stopped going to marvel movies for many years because I had just simply stopped caring and then Infinity War happened. I went and saw 6 times because it was just that fantastic of a film. The pacing, the character development, the action the drama and the comedy all came together perfectly.
This film did none of that unfortunately. I found myself bored and actually kind of annoyed at the direction the characters took. Fat pathetic Thor? Ok maybe for a bit but he pretty much stays that way the whole film, it's embarrassing. The Beta Hulk thing was funny at first but when you realize he's not going to do any hulk smashing through the entire film, you'll go from "haha" to "wtf". I like Hawkeye but he had too much screen time which wouldn't have been bad had they done that for the other characters. The time travel thing? Leaves so many plot holes it's insane, I get it's a comic book movie but my suspension of disbelief was just stretched way too far. Also the PC pandering with all the women ending up on the battlefield together? Come. On. I'm sure that's the direction the MCU is going in the future so you can count me out. The original cast built it to be a billion dollar IP all for them to hand the torch off to lesser character and actors. Very very sad. Disappointed.
Robin Hood (2018)
It was actually a lot of fun
Do I really think it's an 8 out of 10? No. It's just barely a 6, but I do not think these 1 stars are fair so I will cast my vote to offset. If you enjoy the likes of Prince of Persia and John Carter turn your brain off and have fun style action romp. This is the movie for you. Whereas the latter mentioned movies have a wide sense of adventure this one is somewhat lacking in that department. Other than that, it's cheesy, fun and action packed. In a sea of politically charged dark and serious filmmaking, this was a most welcome return to form for Hollywood entertainment.
