The Lone Ranger (2013)

Rated: PG13 - Runtime: 149 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)

This has a really awesome grand finale.  The two hours it takes to get to said grand finale, however, is on Sherlock Holmes level ridiculous, yet not as clever.  Depp's Tonto, played largely for comic relief, is the only memorable character.

Still, better than I expected it to be...which is to say I wasn't expecting much at all.

Monsters University (2013)

Rated: G - Runtime: 102 min

Noting that I'm a huge fan of "Monsters, Inc", I can safely say the prequel will NOT appear in my video collection.

I didn't have terribly high expectations for this, but I certainly expected it to be better than a straight-to-video quality offshoot, which is about what it is.  It's not funny.  It's not creative.  It just exists for profit.

It's actually sort of depressing.

Man of Steel (2013)

Rated: PG13 - Runtime: 143 min

This is a generic action movie with some Superman characters thrown in, and that's about it.  It's not as dark as Nolan's crappy "Batman" movies, but not really much more fun to watch either.  Amy Adams has absolutely NO business playing Lois Lane.  The highlight of the movie is Russel Crowe's Jor-El.  Zod, not so much.

But you could have easily turned this into a Transformers sequel by just swapping a few characters out.
