Neil Miller rewatched

The Last Stand 2013

★★★

This movie is a useless exposition machine. Until it gets ridiculous. Then it's a lot of fun.

A Good Day to Die Hard 2013

★★

Since when was it so hard to get the simple Die Hard formula wrong? Not, apparently. Overcomplicated and completely unnecessary.

Neil Miller watched

Star Trek Into Darkness 2013

★★★½

Flashy. Hollow, but flashy. Despite its glaring flaws, Abrams makes it work with energy.

Neil Miller rated Iron Man 3 ★★★½

Iron Man 3 2013

★★★½

Feels less like the start of a new phase for Marvel and more like a bookend to a franchise. That said, Shane Black's dialogue delivers while his ability to direct big, coherent action set pieces leaves something to be desired.

Oblivion 2013

★★★ 1

Without a new thought in its shiny brain, this one would be easy to nitpick to apocalyptic ends. However, it is a pretty film with several really strong action sequences. Had it been any actor other than Tom Cruise, we'd probably like it a lot.
