X-Men: Apocalypse

The absolutely best part of this movie was the "Sweet Dreams" scene with Quicksilver, or Kid Flash, or whatever that guy's name is (I'm glad he survived "Age of Ultron," after all).

This movie could have been great if they had included Spider-Man.

Fantastic Four

Okay, I couldn't NOT go see it, and I'm sure my lowered expectations from the wretched reviews helped, but -- I liked it.

Ah, c'mon: it is CERTAINLY better than the previous versions (just admit it)!

Ant-Man

I knew little about Ant-Man going in, but this might be my second-favorite Marvel Studios movie.

Which does not necessarily mean I would want to sit through it a second time.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Here it is, the movie that asks, "can the later Roger Moore James Bond films be out-overdone?"; the answer, as it turns out, is "oh, hell, yes"--but why, I ask, would one actually WANT to?

I started out mildly amused, but at some point grew to hate the entire thing.

Guardians of the Galaxy

My favorite part of the movie was Star-Lord's dancing.

My least favorite part was the preview for Dumb and Dumber To.

X-Men: First Class

As much as I love to hate movies, this one I couldn't: it's a fun ride, and a very well-made movie, start to finish.

The only big fault I have with it is the lack of Stan Lee.

Thor

Wasn't even sure I wanted to see it: the comic had never appealed to me, and I always find Portman & Hopkins to be OTT in their "anything for the money" roles.

Once I got over snickering at "ice giants," I found the movie to be, surprisingly, much better than I could have dared hope.
