Suicide Squad

It entertained me! I liked it!
There were so many things that kind of disappointed and felt wrong but I somehow managed to let them go fast and easily.
Plot: The government or something recruits imprisoned villains with special abilities to fight "the evil" (the villains of the movie were kind of stupidly made). If they don't participate or go rogue they die because of the nano-bomb attached to their bodies...or something.
I actually can't think of anything good to say about this movie right now..The introduction to characters took a while (I enjoyed that part, but it took a while), the "evil" part was bizarre.  Enchantress and her part was not well made or executed. It was funny for me but I doubt that was the aim. There were lots of characters (didn't have a good development in the movie..just from that beginning when the characters were kind of explained), lots of gunshots and fighting and some jokes but the substance was fragile.
And still - I really did like the movie. Actors were great and so were their make-up and/or costumes. Soundtrack was descent. I wasn't bored, I was, however, a bit tipsy during the film.
All I can gather - they had too many characters and not enough time to make this proper. 
I knew how they (actors) prepared for their roles (good stuff to hear or read), how they got fake (or real) tattoos and other behind-the-scenes stuff and I had a good company with me at the cinema. I liked the movie, really.
Was it the best superhero movie? No ("Civil War" was much better). Will I watch it again? Yes. Should you go and see it? If you plan on watching it without thinking too much - YES.

P.S. Viola Davis' role suited her very much (you can tell that especially if you have seen How To Get Away With Murder).

Rating: ★★★★

Ghostbusters (2016 release)

It was a fine comedy!
It follows a ghost invasion in NY and there are these scientist ladies who try to "bust them".
The plot was easy to understand (as it should have been), script was good, characters were okay (didn't like the Chris Hemsworths's role - but I believe many people found him funny).
I was at the cinema, I had like two louder laughs and I watched the movie with a smile on my face mostly. I think it was because of Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig - as I have been a fan of both for many (not that many, but 3, 4 years count as many, right?) years because of Saturday Night Live.
Either I was just in that mood when I like basically anything or I did have an enjoyable time because of this film. Can't promise anything.
Will I forget this comedy?
Yes. I believe I will. Quite fast but it doesn't change the fact that I smiled and didn't find it annoying or not funny at all (as those are mostly the cases for me and USA comedy genre).

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi

What a powerful war movie from Michael Bay!
It's based on true events and lets us in on an attack on a U.S. compound in Libya in 2012 and shows how a few soldiers deal with the situation and try to do their best.
Actually this is how I imagine (and thank God I have to imagine!) some kind of war battle could look like - nothing's certain, nothing's over quickly and there are so many guns, shooting, sketchy people and chaos all around. Emotions rise high more from the inside but as a viewer you can just sense how everything is so tense and hyper sensitive. I don't care for historical accuracy. It felt real.

Amazing and diverse camera shots, charming colors, beautiful, nature capturing sights at times, believable dialogues and what a cast! They are not your typical Hollywood A-list action movie actors and that, for me, somehow gave an extra appreciation. My "favorite performance" star goes to Pablo Schreiber although John Krasinski still stays as one of my favorites - period.
It was nearly 3 hours long but I felt like it was necessary so that they could show different aspects when dealing with attacks. Those hours actually flew by. 
It doesn't come naturally for me to feel involved when it's pretty much a "guy movie" (there was one female character) because I can't really relate but this time I was so in - I cared and rooted for almost every character.
And if I care and can get emotionally somewhere and nothing really bothers me, for me, it's an excellent movie.
Thank you.

Rating: ★★★★½

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Not a comedy in my eyes. More like - a stupid movie (sorry fans and those who'll watch and like it). Didn't find anything funny. Anything. Only thing I liked was Justin Timberlakes' tiny role and his characters voice. Oh, and the way it was delivered - as a documentary. Which it wasn't obviously.
This "comedy" is about a former boy band member who wants to remain popular and will do different (stupid) things to save his fame.
Great comedian ensemble but the movie itself just wasn't for me.


Rating: ★★

The Legend Of Tarzan

The good out of this film:

• Christoph Waltz - always a "good" villain.  

• Alexander Skarsgårds' eight-pack (not a six-pack! EIGHT!!)  He worked on his body for nine months! Ate just chicken breast and broccoli and worked out! Gotta give him a credit!

• Nature! 
• Jane had balls. By which I mean she wasn't made weak. She had courage and strength and didn't rely just on "her man". Which for me is always pleasurable to see. 

The bad: 

• I missed the sound. The sound of the jungle, the sound of waterfalls, the cracking noises of branches and trees. The sound was missing
• I needed more of Alexander Skarsgårds' eight-pack
• I wanted more nature and wild-life, more adventures

It's an okay movie to see in cinemas and less from okay when watching at home I think.

Rating: ★★★

Now You See Me 2

I remember I really liked the first part, it gave me everything I was expecting back then.
This time around - either it did the same thing and my taste has changed since the original or it wasn't that good.
Let's start with the good? Okay. What I did like:
- Actor ensemble.
- Tricks/illusions (unfortunately I wanted to see more of these. So much more. Love seeing unbelievably quick hands, smooth motions and other unreal stuff.).
- Everything felt light and uncomplicated (even the "tense" parts). After a good days work I enjoyed that ease.
- Movie wasn't stretched (2 hours is appropriate time and it went by quickly).
- All in all I liked the movie as shallow and predictable as it was.
- AND I also enjoyed I could easily let myself go to the bathroom and know that I won't be missing much.
Now for the bad. What I did NOT like:
- Characters. Especially the new female lead. So because most of the characters were already built in first movie (although I can't say I can remember them), "Lula" was new and basically she was the only female character and for that reason I just so disapproved of how she was - she came off as shallow, weak and a bit dumb. Okay, it's not a serious movie but really? Just give her some substance! As for other characters - didn't care for any of them at all (cared only for that chic because she was not needed at all if she was made like that. And not liking something also means caring right?).
- The plot and the ending. Nothing original, predictable and weak.
- The lack of illusions or tricks. Wanted more and more interesting (or more believable) stuff.
- The Script. Some scenes were too stretched, some dialogues unnecessary and monologues/phrases - stupid (maybe somebody will call them "funny", I hope not)

I think that's enough. I liked the movie. But just "liked".
How did I see it?
Ended my shift at work, went to the cinema (was in the new auditorium), grabbed a beer (okay, two of those), sat down in the best seat (thank you, Reinis! :D) and just watched it with ease and with no real expectations.

Rating: ★★★

Race

This was too simple and just too predictable in every way possible. As I watched I didn't want to believe that it's based on true events. So cliche in everything. Okay, I don't mind how it ended (because of the "realness") but just..ugh, really? I had a pretty boring time with this.
Lovely tones and colors though. And Jeremy Irons' voice.
Didn't see much of anything I could've wanted (didn't feel like there was much of training or preparing shown in any way). It just seems like showing problems that majority of people are (or might be) having was more important for "Race" makers.
