2013 Films

[asterroc]

Below is a list of the films I've seen in the theater during 2013, put into categories of how much I liked them.

• Excellent - I'd've seen these again in the theater if anyone else had wanted to.
  
  
  
  • Rise of the Guardians (RotG)
    
  • Thor: The Dark World (Thor 2)
    
  • Oblivion
    
  • The World's End
  
  
• Good - really glad I saw these in the theater, and definitely watching again as soon as they come out on Netflix.
  
  • Star Trek Into Darkness
    
  • Pacific Rim
  
  
• OK - I could've waited until they came out on Netflix; I'll probably watch them again someday but no real urge to do so any time soon.
  
  • Iron Man 3
    
  • Ender's Game
    
  • The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (Hobbit 2)
    
  • World War Z
  
  
• Tolerable - I probably should've waited until they came out on Netflix; no plan to watch again.
  
  • Monsters University
    
  • Despicable Me 2
  
  
• Bad - definitely should've saved my money; actively wish to not watch again ever.
  
  • Riddick
  
  

It's hard to decide where to put films I had fun with as opposed to finding intellectually stimulating. The main merits of STID and Ender's Game were fanservice - that is, references to things that I knew about as a fan. The main merits of The World's End and Pacific Rim were the humor. The main drawbacks of Despicable Me 2 and Riddick were the gender tropes.

Next weekend I'll be seeing Thor 2 (ETA: see above), and I expect it to fall under Excellent.
