Thoughts on Carpool

Carpool is a trite movie representing a by-gone era of cookie cutter comedies. The story is ludicrous and the acting leaves a lot to be desired. There are a few gags that were able to get a laugh out of me, but it was rare. Even the simple plot is bogged down by so much padding that it all felt forced. It is a brainless comedy with a terrible conclusion that is dated and pathetic. I don’t recommend this movie unless you are nostalgic for a soulless cash grab.

Thoughts on Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 is a damn fun movie. The acting is decent and the story is well-written and clever. It relies heavily on pop culture references, which gets a little old. The movie has some depth and has fun in its comic book shlock. I found it much more enjoyable than the first. Check it out if you enjoyed the first movie.

Thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp

Ant-Man and the Wasp is a very good sequel. In a lot of ways it could have easily turned into a cliche movie but it keeps itself fresh with good performances and fun effects. It is a movie that has fun in it’s comic book logic. The villains are largely sympathetic. It is certainly worth seeing if you enjoyed Ant-Man or the events of Civil War. I look forward to seeing how this connects to the Infinity War.
