Good story, great job by Smith...but it was all very low stakes for some reason. <br /><br />I basically hated The Man from UNCLE. It was so boring and slow...a crushing disappointment. It looked like high fashion, yeah, but stunk like low tide. Good think Vikander is so hot. Phew.<br /><br />And....avoid Pan, see Daddy's Home? Does that sound about right?

It's fun, fast paced, bouncy, stylish and involving...isn't that what people go to the movies for? And both the costume and production design are incredible. <br /><br />One of the things I liked about it the most was that the characters actually showed signs of being roughed up after some of their antics. Not enough to ruin their looks of course but black eyes, bandages etc. at least some acknowledgement that they'd been through a tussle or two.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-29092741979693622312016-07-28T07:48:09.467-04:002016-07-28T07:48:09.467-04:00Nuts is an apt description of Pan.

I don't know. I only saw little bits as I'm not sure what to make of it. <i>Concussion</i> seems like the most interesting as it relates to what is going on but it never goes all the way and Will Smith's performance isn't very good as I also wanted more of Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I don't want to see <i>Central Intelligence</i> just out of my disdain for Kevin Hart and Dwayne "The Crock" Johnson while <i>Daddy's Year</i> is something want to see because it features a cameo at the end from the Crock's new bitch-boyfriend.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-30850647529333405692016-07-27T18:03:25.872-04:002016-07-27T18:03:25.872-04:00Exactly - decent, not great for both Concussion an...Exactly - decent, not great for both Concussion and Daddy's Home. The motorcycle scene is a memorable one, though.<br /><br />I say skip Pan, check out The Man From U.N.C.L.E.<br /><br />I don't think they had bad chemistry, it just didn't feel like it was really cohesive. Not sure if you're a basketball fan, but if you are think about the first year LeBron played for the Heat. They were good, but didn't instead of working well together, 'Bron and Wade would take turns getting theirs. After that, the offense flowed pretty good as they became more in tune with one another. That's how it felt in CI. Hart is good and The Rock is good, but it almost felt like they were just taking turns trying to be good rather than it flowing naturally. I hope that makes sense. I would definitely say check it out.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-82088024438588031022016-07-27T17:06:42.399-04:002016-07-27T17:06:42.399-04:00CI is worth a look, for sure.

Will Smith really did solid work, highlighted especially in the beginning. Daddy's home was about the same. The longer it went on the less I liked it, but I certainly didn't want to turn it off. And the motorcycle crash scene. One of the biggest laughs I've had during a movie this year. Not sure why. <br /><br />I will not be seeing Pan. I may catch The Man from U.N.C.L.E. one day if for nothing else than the slick action I'm sure Ritchie pulled off. <br /><br />It's funny you mentioned that you didn't find a strong chemistry between The Rock and Kevin Hart. I haven't seen the film, but I skimmed Matt Zoller Seitz's review over at RogerEbert.com, and he LOVED it, specifically their chemistry. Called it one of the best comedies in a long while. Anyway, I'm definitely gonna check this one out.

My husband and kid loved it, and I just sat there wtf'ing throughout. Especially at Tiger Lily and all her reactions to Hook.
