- DirectorMarcus NispelStarsJason MomoaRon PerlmanRose McGowanA vengeful barbarian warrior sets off to get his revenge on the evil warlord who attacked his village and murdered his father when he was a boy.I'd have to say better than the original, which is extremely surprising. That forest fight pretty much beats anything Arnold did.
- DirectorGary McKendryStarsJason StathamClive OwenRobert De NiroWhen his mentor is taken captive by a disgraced Arab sheik, a killer-for-hire is forced into action. His mission: kill three members of Britain's elite Special Air Service responsible for his sons' deaths.Jason Statham + Robert DeNiro, how could this possibly go wrong? Oh.. Clive Owen. Still an awesome film, I just pretended Clive was someone I didn't want to punch in the face.
- DirectorElliott LesterStarsJason StathamPaddy ConsidineAidan GillenA tough cop is dispatched to take down a serial killer who has been targeting police officers.Typical Jason Statham film, but his endings never disappoint.
- DirectorJonathan EnglishStarsPaul GiamattiJason FlemyngBrian CoxIn thirteenth-century England, a Knights Templar and a few of the Barons men fight to defend Rochester Castle against the tyrannical King John.Blood and guts, far more realistic than most "hack and slash" medieval films. I could watch it all day.
- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsRyan ReynoldsBlake LivelyPeter SarsgaardReckless test pilot Hal Jordan is granted an alien ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers that inducts him into an intergalactic police force, the Green Lantern Corps.Way too little action and unnecessarily upsetting in the beginning :P But it was good enough, I'd watch it again (and have, three times now)
- DirectorJustin LinStarsVin DieselPaul WalkerDwayne JohnsonDominic Toretto and his crew of street racers plan a massive heist to buy their freedom while in the sights of a powerful Brazilian drug lord and a dangerous federal agent.Don't generally like the Fast and Furious movies, but it has the Rock AND Vin Diesel- you know there's action when Dwayne Johnson teams up with Riddick.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsChris EvansHugo WeavingSamuel L. JacksonSteve Rogers, a rejected military soldier, transforms into Captain America after taking a dose of a "Super-Soldier serum". But being Captain America comes at a price as he attempts to take down a warmonger and a terrorist organization.Not much of a "War time" fan either, but no one just turns their back on a comic book character. Better than what I expected, even if the end did suck.
- DirectorRob MarshallStarsJohnny DeppPenélope CruzIan McShaneJack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.Possibly the worst of the PotC titles, but it's Johnny Depp and at least it's not Secret Window.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsDaniel CraigHarrison FordOlivia WildeA spaceship arrives in 1873 Arizona to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. All that stands in their way: a posse of cowboys and natives.I hate Westerns, but I saw the previews in theaters while waiting for Transformers 3 and decided it might be worth watching- it was.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1960s, superpowered humans Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr work together to find others like them, but Erik's vengeful pursuit of an ambitious mutant who ruined his life causes a schism to divide them.Can't get over the fact they had James Mac Avoy play Dr X but I suppose it was ok, considering how many of the damn things there are.
- DirectorJim MickleStarsConnor PaoloNick DamiciKelly McGillisIn a world of vampires, an expert vampire hunter and his young protégé travel toward sanctuary.Long and not a lot of action for a vampire movie, wasn't great but it wasn't bad.
- DirectorSimon WellsStarsSeth GreenJoan CusackDan FoglerA young boy named Milo gains a deeper appreciation for his mom after Martians come to Earth to take her away.Has it's moments.
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsDanny McBrideNatalie PortmanJames FrancoWhen Prince Fabious's bride is kidnapped, he goes on a quest to rescue her... accompanied by his lazy useless brother Thadeous.Funny, but more in a stupid "why did they make this?" kind of way.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppIsla FisherTimothy OlyphantRango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff.Very little humour or weirdness for a Johnny Depp film
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsEmily BrowningVanessa HudgensAbbie CornishA young girl institutionalized by her abusive stepfather retreats to an alternative reality as a coping strategy and envisions a plan to help her escape.Boring and too much CGI.
- DirectorScott StewartStarsPaul BettanyCam GigandetMaggie QA warrior priest disobeys church law to track down a pact of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.The supposed 'vampires' put me off, not to mention the long drawn out story line.
