Even though Into Darkness is not as good as the previous one it is still fun, the best blockbuster so far this year.

Issues aside, I still think Abrams' direction worked for the most part here, so as long as the writing is tight, I think we should be in good shape. ;)Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-83719496389121116462013-05-24T03:32:58.258-04:002013-05-24T03:32:58.258-04:00Good review Chris.

Let's hope I'll be saying the same thing two years from now.

It just felt really cheap"<br /><br />Yeah, amen. :( Its sad to say, but it stood out like a sore thumb in the middle of the movie, and it definitely didnt feel as if this cast had earned that moment. :( Sad. <br /><br />I'm with you. Flashy and fun, but I hope we get something with more substance next time. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979759398907002081noreply@blogger.com
