i was expecting to be a forgettable marvel movie experience, got out of the theater excited for the sequels and i actually want to watch it a second time (might be my second fav spider-man movie).
loved all the characters, vulture was great.

Finally watched Kimi no Na Wa.
The visuals and art direction is pretty gorgeous and at times unbelieveable and easily the best thing about the movie, unfortunately, for my test, the movie doesn't focus enough on the development and emotional bond between its two lead MCs, which is a key element of the second half and the ending, leaving me somewhat cold when the movie is over.
First Impression: 6/10 (good enough)
I may do a rewatch later to see if my first impressions change (or not).
The next film on my watching list is Koe no Katachi. I plan watching this sometime this weekend.
EDIT (9/Aug/2017): Rewatched Kimi no Na Wa and I'll bump my score to a 7/10, mainly because of the impressive craftmanship in animation and blending of new tech with traditional hand drawn animation, my stance on the underwhelming emotional bond still remains though.

It makes me salty that it did not get as much as attention as Kimi no Na Wa did.
Watched Death Note (Netflix adaptation).
It was good. I liked the actors of Light, Mia (Misa), L, their characters were IMO a bit more interesting than their anime/manga counterpart. I'd have liked they had a bit more battle of wits but I like what we got regardless. Bonus point for coming up with creative ways of using the death note itself. Only thing I disliked was the romance subplot.
7.75/10

Guardians fo the Galaxy. Pretty fun and colorful movie, I think this team is more likeable and have a bit more chemistry than the Avengers. Probably in my top 3 Marvel movies.

Winter Soldier and GotG are up there with the best Marvel movies together with Spiderman and the first Iron-man.

I took my daughter to see the My Little Pony movie. To say it was insipid garbage would be insulting to garbage. Sure, the subject matter was so saccharine I needed an insulin injection, but that's no excuse for a nonsensical plot, pointless characters, and lack of any structure. If I'm forced to sit through a kid's movie, at least have the decency to make it good.

Last two films I saw this past week:
Black Panther
It was awesome, probably my favourite MARVEL movie of them all, Killmonger was easily the best villan the MCU has ever had, Wakanda also rocked. Looking forward to a sequel.
Score: 5/5
Thor Ragnarok
Pretty fun, charming, endearing and true to its identity, easily in my top 5 MARVEL movies.
Score:4.5/5

Two days ago I saw Avengers Infinity War.
Lots of great stuff.
I'd rank it as the fifth best MCU movie, behind Black Panther, Guardians 2, Winter Soldier and Guardians 1 respectively.

i wouldn't call it lackluster as a standalone movie either, i thought it was great entertainment.
personally it impressed me how they tied so many characters and story events without coming up as confusing.
the ending was awesome, finally the dramatic punch i wanted from marvel and im really pumped for the sequel.
