Ocean's 8

Rated: PG-13 - Runtime: 110 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)

The best part is the ending. The build-up to get there is sooo boring. They follow the "11" formula a little TOO closely but forgot to add the cleverness. Something was just missing there. So it's one of those "Yeah, I've seen this already and it was better the first time" type deals.

The wrap-up, though, was pretty great.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Rated: PG-13 - Runtime: 135 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)

Remember when Star Wars movies were fun? Oh wait, right, that was only the first one. Well now here's a second one. Sort of. It's a failed heist caper followed by a make-up heist with way too many plot twists and not quite as much humor as I'd hoped for, though it has its moments.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Rated: R - Runtime: 111 min
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)

They gave it about double the budget of the first movie, which means better effects and more of pretty much everything...more action, more comedy, more fourth wall, even a couple more X-Men.  It's a ton of fun, so much so I went twice in the same day.

There's no scene after the credits, but there's two during the credits, and the second one is the funniest scene in the movie.
