War for the Planet of the Apes — A solid post apocalypse movie — 7*/10

For a flick with "War" in its title, there isn't much of it or action for that matter. However, like its two predecessors, in this reboot there is a strong sense of finality to it, strong emotional perspectives, as well as dirty, raw animosity, so you could say this is a proud continuation in the name of this franchise and I would agree.

The only thing I didn't like is that they introduced a comic relief element that clashes too strongly with this film and the two previous. Beyond that, great acting, solid special effects and powerful camera shots will entertain you without any issue.

Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn and Judy Greer.

Spider-Man: Homecoming — A solid reboot of the franchise — 8*/10

The whole Happy-Stark-Parker thing is a bit annoying. The story is pretty involved with lots of stuff happening, but low-key for a superhero flick, at least we didn't go through the origin once more. Good action and special effects if, again, low-key. Overall, nice feeling to it and solid entertainment, one of the good Spider-Man. Watch out for those scenes during the end credits and after.

At first, I wasn't happy about the choice of actor for Spidey when I found out in the Avengers, but now I think he's great, perfect even. The perfect balance of humble, witty and courageous. Loved the choice of aunt May. Nice change there.

One very bad thing, though: no spider sense at all!

Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr.,

Transformers: The Last Knight — On the level with the rest — 6*/10

If you want to see the Transformers, you'll be served. Michael Bay kept it on the level. However, I don't like it when the rewrite "history" and make it all about the Transformers. It's even worst when they rewrite the movie history. That being said, it's fun and entertaining.

Mark Wahlberg, Laura Haddock, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci and John Turturro.

Baby Driver — Solid car action flick — 8*/10

It's a movie for car chase lovers. Great tempo, tight action, well built nicely acted characters (if simple), good visuals, delicious dialogs, and very interesting story (if not complex).

Ansel Elgort, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Lily James, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx.

Cars 3 — Get your Pixar fix with this fun animation — 6*/10

Good solid entertainment. Overall, touching, plus, even though the story was in a way very easy and safe for the creators, it still had a few surprises and many great details. Not the equal of the first one, but pretty interesting.

Owen Wilson, Chris Cooper and Nathan Fillion.

The Mummy — Good fantasy with nice action — 6*/10

Very interesting ideas, but with a bad start and a number of weaknesses in the last third of the movie. Mostly, though, it is nicely entertaining and interesting. Funny, but too serious to really connect with the original precursor series (read my review of the first chapter here).

Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella.

Wonder Woman — An inspiring super hero action flick for all — 8*/10

Amazing visuals, action and special effects. The story is very interesting even if it's not very complex. The part about rewriting Greek mythology is annoying, the bad guy is weak at best and they could have given her one of the more dressed-up version of her costume, but the rest, including the acting, is great.

Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales — Entertaining if nothing else — 6*/10

The 5th chapter. Atrocious intro and epilogue. The rest of the story is pretty good even though there are a number of easy or flawed things. Entertaining and with some good special effects. Beware, post credit scene.

Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1790809/

Captain Underpants — You'll see it for your kids, but you'll enjoy yourself too — 6*/10

Simple, yet witty and full of interesting details. You will not find many layered levels of comedy, but you will chuckle at things your kid won't understand. Plus, the story is pretty positive.

Kevin Hart.

Bon Cop Bad Cop 2 — Divertissant, drôle et rempli d'action — 7*/10

C'est quand même une bonne suite au premier chapitre (lire ma critique ici). Même si ce n'est pas aussi original ou comique, reste que c'est un bon investissement.

Patrick Huard et Lucie Laurier.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4738174/

Baywatch — The previews are better than the movie — 5*/10

Too many dead moments, without impact or just not funny. Many good ideas, but poorly executed. It could have been great.

Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.

Alien: Covenant — Oh, it just gets so creepy... Loved it — 8*/10

Welcome back to the real creepiness of the Alien world. The overall sense of never being safe is finally truly back. Gotta love it.

Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup and Danny McBride (finally showing us his acting skills).

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/

Les 3 p'tits cochons 2 — Rigolo et sentimental à la fois — 6*/10

Amusant avec un peu plus de profondeur émotionnelle que le premier (lire ma critique ici). Il perd un peu du comique, l'histoire est moins bien étoffée et la fin est moins intéressante bien que l'épilogue soit bien fait. Reste que c'est un bon divertissement.

Paul Doucet, Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge, Patrice Robitaille, Isabel Richer et Sophie Prégent.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword — A fantasy fix that's really cheap — 5*/10

Sorry, but the end result is really lame. With the money spent on it, it's a shame. The only good things are the special effects.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972591/

Ghost in the Shell — A great sci-fi that sadly departs from the original — 8*/10

I prefer the original, because of the story, the introspection and the soundtrack. So, I'm very much biased. I also don't like the posture and the walk they gave her, too hunched back, too robotic.

The departure from the original is understandable, but sad. So is the loss of the moody soundtrack. Still, we got to hear it once more during the end credits.

Don't watch it in 3D. I unfortunately had too and I would very want to see it again on the big screen in 2D to fully appreciate and get a second, maybe less biased, opinion.

That being said, it's a solid movie with a good story and intrigue. I just don't have the perspective to say if it's great.

Scarlett Johansson and Juliette Binoche.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 — A great sci-fi epic — 8*/10

Solid fun full of action, mean special effects and great vistas. A few weaknesses, but overall very entertaining.

Keep on watching the credits. There are many clips throughout until the very end.

Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone and Vin Diesel.

Their Finest — A well-rounded comedy with some itty-bitty romance — 8*/10

This is a movie to be proud of. It's funny, interesting, with a strong female role, many witty repartee, a surprising ending and solid acting. Go see it, it's well worth it.

Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy, Richard E. Grant and Jeremy Irons.

L'arnacoeur — Comédie surprenante avec une histoire fort divertissante — 7*/10

Un petit film fort intéressant avec un scénario aux développements parfois inattendus. À prendre à la légère un soir de pluie.

Gifted — If you're not looking for action you should see this — 8*/10

It's beautiful, touching with quite a bit of wit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something sentimental. However, it does have two major flaws.

One, it pounds in the gimmick that love conquers all, which in real life never happens because it's not true. If it happens it's because of something else.

Two, in life, things are never this black or white. It's always gray. If you assume things are black or white and you see yourself as being the good person, automatically the other person is bad and nothing could ever be further from the truth.

Mckenna Grace (watch out for her in the future, she's going to be a great actress), Chris Evans, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate and Octavia Spencer.

The Boss Baby — Turn your brain off and be ready to laugh! — 6*/10

Be open to simple silliness, caricatural behavior and an alternate reality type animation and you'll be really entertained. Very funny. It doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't either. Nice ending. Enjoy it.

Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow and Tobey Maguire.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3874544/

Going in Style — Very light very entertaining comedy worth your time — 7*/10

Very funny, with some nice touching moments. High entertainment with very little flaws. I highly recommend it if you want to have some light fun without asking your brain too much.

Ann-Margret, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Alan Arkin, Christopher Lloyd and Matt Dillon.

T2 Trainspotting — Doesn't punch like the first one, but still well worth it — 8*/10

If you haven't seen the first chapter (read my review here), then don't see it, you won't understand a thing. For the other, don't expect as much a punch in the face as the first one, and you'll be very happy to have seen it. I'll say the mellowing out is logical and is perfectly well done and well adapted to the story. Enjoy!

Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle.

Power Rangers — It's only a teen sci-fi action flick, no more — 5*/10

I guess I was expecting too much and was disappointed. The reboot is not bad considering the comics weren't very good to start with. Nice action, nice ideas, just a bit overly simple.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3717490/

CHIPS — A very entertaining action comedy worth seeing — 6*/10

It doesn't take itself seriously and only has minimal resemblance to the TV series. The injected silliness is priceless and makes it a good flick to have some brainless down time.

Michael Peña, Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493405/

Wilson — The wacky edge of this flick hides some cutting emotional depth — 7*/10

It's all about being satisfied, turning the page, moving on. It let's us think about our lives through his. It's his life and his shortcomings. It's simple, slow, unusual, silly, wacky, funny, but, weirdly, emotionally stark in many ways.

Judy Greer, Laura Dern and Cheryl Hines.

Woody Harrelson shows great range with this role.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1781058/

The Sense of an Ending — A quiet little drama that sums up our lives — 7*/10

Our history is a story we tell ourselves, and this movie really makes us see it. There are a few annoying things, but overall, it's well made. Slow and entertaining.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4827986/

Before I Fall — This little flick is slick and has a lot of heart — 7*/10

The societal slice is just too high and the settings too slick, but it's very interesting and the just of it at the right place. Even if it's not really anything new, it's really nice to watch and let go.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1691916/

Kong: Skull Island — An amazing sci-fi full of spectacular action and great special effects — 9*/10

It blew my mind. I wasn't expecting much and I got a plateful of fun. Great intro and amazing fight scenes. Even though the story is rather simple, it is extremely well told. I might not have liked the evil monster, but the other ones were great. Nice imagination there.

Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly and John Goodman.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3731562/

Table 19 — Easy to watch and enjoy comedy — 7*/10

It's a low-key kind of funny semi romantic flick. Well acted and with a few surprises even if it seems like it's playing an old tune. Last two scenes of the epilogue are very funny.

Anna Kendrick, Lisa Kudrow and Craig Robinson.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1412528/

Logan — Very disappointed because it had so much potential — 6*/10

The acting is good as far as Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart are concerned, since there were given solid parts. The other characters are much weaker and it's difficult to give a respectable performance with low grade roles.

It's too bad, because there are a few concept ideas that were pretty interesting. Unfortunately, there was no substance behind it all. Just easy stuff, except for a few things that did show a little bit of guts.
