Iron Man 2
The action in this is still so cool. Whiplash walking onto the track and whipping these cars in half and just the destruction. I also love the final battle with the drones. It is really well done.

The Incredible Hulk
The story works though. We get flashes to the origin story, and we get him working to hide and to work on himself and his control. I like that we get to see Ross as his true self early in the movie and he never waivers from it make him just as annoying as he shows up to be in the future movies.

Star Wars: Rogue One
When this movie first came out, I thought it was good, but not needed. Today, 9 years later, I feel the same way. However, the movie has aged very well, and I think it is better than the 6 or 7 that I would have given it years ago.

Iron Man
No sex, no language, limited graphic violence. Ok there are a couple scenes of someone sticking a hand inside Tony's chest so that is a bit outside my mom's preferences. My dad really enjoys this movie and Mom isn't completely apposed to it, so I am going to say approved by both.
TV
Andor
Diego Luna should get an Emmy for this. For two seasons he has brought Cassian to live. Played a complicated and growing character that only got better as the show went on. He is also surround both others who bring the heat in their performances that you can't stop watching this show.

Captain America The First Avenger
This was probably my least favorite movie in phase 1 and as I am watching 14 years later, it does a great job of holding up. The CGI looks good, the action is good, it isn't too cartoony, and the story is excellent. It still is a little slow.
Movies
Bad Boys for Life
Will and Martin are again outstanding in their comedy. I really like the return of Reggie as it is one of my favorite scenes from Bad Boys II where they make a scene when he picks up Martin's daughter.

A Working Man
This is very much your post Taken typical kidnapped person-of-interest movie. And that might be the most accurate and complete review that you'll ever see. The only real difference is the main star and the amount of Bull vs. Owl techniques. Jason just bulldozes his way in.
Movies
Gladiator II
This is basically scene for scene the same as Gladiator. Yes there are some differences, but the story is the same. Solider gets picked up as a gladiator and then has to lead other gladiators to fight against overwhelming odds. This means people look into his background...
Movies
Bad Boys II
A nice change from the first movie was by adding some additional interpersonal issues that add to the comedy. They never feel like a distraction which is good. Plus the bad guys in this have a nice life of their own. They are a little stereotypical 90s villains...
Movies
Godzilla
Can we start with the conversation about this cast being excellent and somehow critics hated it? People love it, as they should, but critics have lost their mind. Big monster fighting will always be a fun watch.

Star Wars Skywalker Series
My favorite movie series throughout my entire life. There are ups and downs in the series, but I think overall it is 100% still something that needs to be watched. It is also something that pushed the industry forward. Just look how Star Wars was received in 77.
