Iron Man 2 should be pretty epic. I feel that the trailer may be giving too much away though.
Anyways, I've had some time off work recently so yesterday I spent my day at the cinema. First film was From Paris with Love.
It's the same director as Taken (which is amazing) and has John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the lead roles. I thought the film was absolutely awesome, the story was simple but cool, the characters were cool, Travolta was awesome even if most of his dialogue was cheesy and referencing Pulp fiction. The action scenes were intense and jam packed with gun shots, running and explosions. Just a great fun film that doesn't take itself too seriously (and why should it?).
Rating: 4/5
Next up was Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief.
I've already seen it but now I've read the book (well, I'm now on the third installment) I wanted to see how differently I would react to the film. I found loads of things were so different and sometimes more confusing. I know why they changed things though, just to suit American audiences and so it doesn't go on for 4 hours. I still feel it's a great film and that they did a good job adapting it for the big screen.
Rating: 4/5
Final film I watched was Green Zone.
This is the new Iraq war action thriller. It's basically another Bourne film, just not as good. Maybe I just have something against war films at the moment? Anyway it was very watchable but also very forgettable and doesn't really leave you with much of a lasting impression. So if you want to just waste a couple of hours to watch a not-so-good Bourne film then I recommend
