Kraven the Hunter was much better than I expected it to be.
It blends its origin story with the current events rather well making for an engaging adventure movie full of the usual over the top action sequences.
Crowe is really solid however he is on the verge of being type cast as everyone's daddy!
I doubt we will see a sequel which is a of a shame I would have actually watched it which is a lot more than I can say for other rescent not so super hero movies.
Forget the reviews and the hatred of this movie, be bold and just check it out for yourself. You will get a nice suprise, its not terrible :)

Uncharted had all the ingredients for a thrilling treasure hunt-exotic locations, hidden maps, and high-flying action-but instead delivers a predictable, by-the-numbers blockbuster that never quite finds its own identity.
Tom Holland is charming as Drake, but he feels more like Spider-Man on vacation than a seasoned treasure hunter. Wahlberg, as Sully, seems uninterested, and the chemistry between them never fully clicks. The action sequences, including the over-the-top cargo plane scene, are dull and feel like cutscenes from the game rather than an immersive adventure.
Despite flashy set pieces and some nostalgic nods to the game, Uncharted plays it too safe, following the formula of better adventure films like Indiana Jones or National Treasure without bringing anything new to the table. It's watchable but forgettable-a treasure hunt without much treasure :)

Momentum wants to be a slick, action-packed thriller but stumbles at nearly every turn. Olga Kurylenko stars (but not really) as a high-tech thief caught in a deadly conspiracy, but even her efforts can't salvage a script full of generic dialogue, predictable twists, and uninspired action sequences.
The film struggles with pacing-scenes drag when they should be tense, and the forced attempts at cool, stylish action fall flat. James Purefoy plays the villain, but his character is more cartoonish than menacing.
Despite a few decent fight scenes, Momentum lacks the originality and energy to make it memorable. Instead of a high-speed thrill ride, it feels like a direct-to-video knockoff of better action films.
Junk :)
