I have heard great things about this movie from my friends and it's won a lot of awards, so I figured Silver Linings Playbook had to be good, right? Wrong. This movie is crazy boring and painfully slow going. Perhaps it is because it's billed as a comedy. There is very little comedy here, mostly drama and way too much of it. The only saving graces are two: Jennifer Lawrence is hot and the last 30 minutes. Within that last 30 minutes are what the movie could have been and clearly where it hit its stride. Yes, I know some movies do need to take time to build up, but this movie spent too long on it and as such, they had to end it quickly or risk running over time.
THIS MOVIEDOOD RATES IT: Bah.

Wow, what a letdown. Iron Man 3 is easily the worst of the trilogy and possibly the worst movie Marvel has made since Daredevil. It starts out slow and goes, well slow, most of the movie. If you're looking for heavy action, look for a different movie. The visual effects were amazing. The story itself wasn't bad. The performances were good. But it just wasn't as action packed nor as good as it could have been. The last 30 minutes have some great action scenes and and feel more like the first Iron Man movies than the first 1 and a half hours.

SPOILERS AHEAD...
That and, they completely wasted the talents of the very esteemed Ben Kingsley. They relegated The Mandarin to nothing more than a farce, a joke. This is one of Iron Man's top arch enemies and he's turned into a doped up actor that is a patsy for the real bad guy?! You fucked up Marvel, plain and simple. Then there's the trip to Tennessee and a whole 30 minutes Tony spends befriending this kid, which completely stops any momentum the movie had going.

I admit it, I had my hopes up for G.I. Joe: Retaliation when I saw the previews. But then there was the almost-year delay to convert it to 3D. Seriously? Did they do it because they knew this movie would suck? I will admit this movie is better than the first, but that's really not saying much. The basic plot is ok and could have worked had it not been marred by horrible dialog. I could stand the cheesy jokes, but some of the dialog was just plain stupid. The HISS tanks were cool, but where the hell are all the cool Joe vehicles from when I was a kid? They did finally get Cobra Commander to look right, and Firefly's outfit was done some justice. But it's a real shame that the rest of the cast was unrecognizable as being from G.I. Joe. They had some potential when the Joes met up with General Colton, but they wasted it on a bunch of old guys in the back that had no relation to G.I. Joe. General Coton, who the hell is that? Where is General Hawk? C'mon Hollywood, you can do this right so easily! And what the hell was up with the odd cut from the scene where Lady Jaye and the senator were crossing the street to being inside the SUV? I felt like I missed a minute of the movie. Speaking of Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), she and her sexy outfits were the only saving grace to this movie besides the credits roll. Bottom line for action movie lovers: see something else. If you were a fan of the G.I. Joe franchise, see it, but don't expect it to be the G.I. Joe you remember and loved when you were a kid.
