2018's Film List [August]

INDEX

01. Avengers Infinity War (03.08.18)
The bad guy has to make sacrifices to get what he wants. It is a simple thing that many story mess up, make your antagonist someone who under slightly different circumstances you would root for. Marvel knocked this out of the park and into orbit.

02. The Bourne Supremacy (04.08.18)
This film has a bit of a odd framework. The film is effectively over then we get a very cool car chase. The last two scenes are what makes the bourne trilogy so great, it goes to difficult places and its style is so distinctive.

03. Ant-Man and the Wasp [cinema] (05.08.18)
A good bit of fun, simple and very charter driven. Again a antagonist who is complex and only just falls into being a villain. Some very cool action, jokes are hit and miss but that happens.I did pick up one one or two strange edits, like parts were missing or shortened.

04. The Bourne Ultimatum (10.08.18)
The style is still there but it lacks some of the simplicity of the first. Some very cool moments but lacks a through-line. A very very good trilogy. I suppose I will have to watch the next two sometime.

05. Crank (11.08.18)
It's dose the dumb unintentional funny stuff from bad 80s action movies but on purpose. Very cool concept and the style is odd. Proper dumb fun.

06. Thor Ragnarok (29.08.18)
The directors commentary. A fun film to relax to on a lazy birthday.

07. James Bond Dr No (31.08.18)
I didn't remember the plot going in, now I'm not sure I could summerize it. It falls apart in the final third with Dr No being wasted. Some very cool moments and shots but the dragon set piece is horrendous. So much could be said about early 60s Bond but it is of its time, at least this one is fun.

Best of the bunch? Avengers IW no contest.
