Amazing Spiderman 2: 5/10
I didn't actually like Amazing Spiderman 2, although the action was good and the character of "Electro" was excellent, Harry, Peter, Gwen and especially Peter's Aunt are extremely annoying and IMO, poorly acted. I just feel their acting is extremely 1 dimensional and shallow and any problems that occur near the start seem pointless near the end and some things that could be considered morally grey, are seen as "good" because spiderman did it. The character of Rhino only showed up for a few scenes (though I loved the exaggerated Russian Accent) and the Green Goblin is built up so much only to show up for literally one scene (though I think he'll come back in the third movie). All in all, it had good action and some good music (albeit it all being dubstep, still worked with the style of the movie) and a surprising ending, but it's unlikeable and poorly acted characters ruined it for me.
The Grand Budapest Hotel: 7.8/10
This was an interesting movie, this screams "The Coen Brothers" without actually being done by the Coen Brothers. It's an enchanting movie with a very interesting storyline and relatively odd pacing, where events seem to continually roll forward and it seems somehow not rushed and natural. It's a comedy, but more of a black comedy than anything else. The visual style of the movie is fantastic, with saturated colours, brilliant cinematography, a rather oddly shot ski sled scene and just plane vibrantness (not a word but ah well). Generally it's a good story, but the pacing has everything roll forward that it can be somewhat hard to get invested in the ACTUAL story or the characters, because you don't have time to reflect! That coupled with a very anti-climatic and rushed ending drop this down to below an 8, still a good movie though, worth a watch!
Pan's Labyrinth: 9.3 / 10
Well the last movie I gave a 9.3 too was fight club, a movie I truly enjoyed, and this movie really caught me off guard. When I got it I realized it was in Spanish and I, not being a fan of subtitled movies, almost stopped watching. But alas, I kept going and it was probably one of the best decisions of the night. This movie is extremely captivating with tragedy, mystery and fantasy all linked into a package where reality and fairy tale break apart at the seams. A world of a gritty World War 2 story juxtaposed with a lovely, yet unnerving, fantasy fable, leads to an experience that hasn't quite been captured by any other movie. There are only a few movies that leave me absolutely speechless and this one is one of them. The Spanish actually gives the movie more character than less, the visuals are remarkable (with very little CGI!) and the ending is breath taking. Truly an unbelievable film that I'd recommend!
