Wow, could the movie "reviewers" be more wrong? I went in to Venom with incredibly low expectations, and was more than pleasantly surprised! Tom Hardy was fantastic. The pacing was good, the length was good and the rest of the cast was good. I will for sure be watching this movie again.

If you can get past some of the slapstick that this movie throws in for comedic relief, it is a beautiful story of death, and gives Westerners a new view of dealing with moving on and death.

Maybe I'm a **** for Christmas movies, but I found The Night Before to be enjoyable and worth a watch. I wasn't expecting too much from this Seth Rogen affair but was pleasantly surprised. It has the typical stoner vibe as many of Rogen's films but it doesn't hit you over the head with it. Great performances by all involved and it's totally worth seeing, just keep expectations in line!

Being a longtime Rocky fan I was eagerly waiting to see this film. I thought the spin off approach was a good way to get back into the Rocky universe without having to see Sylvester Stallone trod through another fight as the titular Balboa, however the nostalgia cannot carry one through this long, slow and dare I say "boring" film. The acting from all involved is not great, not bad. The performance from Michael B. Jordan was solid as you could see his transformation into a somewhat believable boxer, but the slow pace of the movie and *SPOILER* the slow final fight, could not retain my attention. When the movie did start hitting its stride, it would immediately cut away to another slow, exposition filled scene that didn't really move the film forward. Disappointing to say the least, taking the audience out of any momentum they had gathered. All in all, an OK movie worth watching if you are a Rocky fan, but don't expect the type of emotion and entertainment of its predecessors.
