Sean’s movie thoughts

I am not saying this is a terrible movie. I just lost interest and I think I had 40 or maybe 50 minutes left to watch. I might try it to watch it again in a month or so. Or I might not. Claire Foy plays Lisabeth Salandar, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in this movie. She is the third actress to take the role and she is good in it. The problems with the film don’t include her. This movie bombed but it doesn’t seem like it hurt Foy’s career. I am not sure why I lost interest. I thought there was a car chase that went on too long. I’ve seen a lot of car chases over the years but it feels like I have not seen a really good one in a while. This feels like it wants to be a female James Bond or female Jason Bourne movie. It is fairly humorless. Except for Foy’s performance, there is not much to recommend this film. I am not recommending this movie. If I re-watch it and revise my opinion, I will write a new blog posting,

The new Robin Hood is getting terrible reviews. I was pretty sure I was not going to see it, so the reviews only confirmed that. Someone said the best movie version of Robin Hood in the last fifty or sixty years is the animated one from Disney. I enjoyed Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindlewald. I did not love it but it had some nice points. It would be nice to see more of Jude Law as Dumbledore. I can see why some critics don’t like it and I kind of wish Dumbledore was the lead of the movie. I guess if I buy this movie digitally and rewatch it, I will write another review. People didn’t go to see The Girl in the Spider’s Web, so that I guess that franchise is over. I heard Claire Foy was good in the lead role. Maybe she will bounce back from this. Today I am off to see Creed 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet. I hope they are good.
