  Mad Max: Fury Road 2015

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 19 May 2015

  I was absolutely blown away by this film. Umpteen reviews of hyperbole and think pieces can't do it justice. An amazing thrill ride wrapped around a simple message - the world is fucked, and to survive, good people are going to have to work together. We are not cannon-fodder or trophy wives, the sins of the past shouldn't weigh us down either - all this to a wacky races chase(s) through the most beautiful post apocalyptic wasteland ever put on…

  The Avengers 2012

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Apr 2012

  Awesomely entertaining, well paced, great character beats, action and humour - a big, brawling brilliant comic book movie that feels like the real deal. Super heroes don't have to go full "dark" to be taken seriously. It was a joy to watch from beginning to end. I'm struggling to pick holes in it. It felt like the first time I saw Superman The Movie at the cinema, it's that great an experience.
