It's definitely loud. We always bring ear plugs to movies, so we were prepared anyway. But it was loud even with the ear plugs. During the battle scenes, I kept wondering how the other people in the theater were managing without any ear protection. No one else seemed to even notice.

I just checked and unfortunately AMC is not showing Dunkirk as one of its sensory friendly screenings. If dad's okay with the lights up a bit and the chance that someone else in the theater will act out, then the sensory friendly movies are a great way to see otherwise "too loud to enjoy" movies as they turn the volume down dramatically. I know (select) AMC shows sensory friendly kids movies 2 Saturday's a month and an adult flick 2 Tuesday's a month.
We were at the theater yesterday getting ready for a birthday party and the sound coming out of some of the theaters was loud even in the hallway.

Thanks. We decided not to see it yet. My parents belong to a group that screens movies, and the schedule has gaps where it could be added, so they decided to save the money. I don't think it's leaving the theaters any time soon, so I may just go alone later.

Up In the Air - ironic timing. The music really makes the movie. Light on plot. It was entertaining enough.

"Maudie" -- lovely performances from Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. Quiet story with great character development. Beautiful location, beautiful folk art.

Logan Lucky - If I had known what the movie was about I probably would have rolled my eyes and said NO, but my husband had the showtimes wrong for the movie we were planning to see and this was the next best option. I'm glad we went, parts of it were really funny and overall the movie was amusing rather than being cringe-worthy (which to be frank was my assumption based on seeing the posters)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
Not too bad for a family movie. There were some "gross" humor parts that made you go eeeeewwwwwwwwww..... but I think thats to be expected with this type of film.
Overall, Ill give it a fair 7/10.

The Fate of the Furious.
Simply put, not the best in the series and somewhat of an anti-climatic ending.
But I guess they had to leave one plot hole open for the future.
Ill give it a generous 6.5 / 10.

The Hit Man's Bodyguard. Very funny. Very foul language. Very entertaining. Just an action/comedy vehicle with minimal plot.

Wind River - Very sobering. If you like Longmire, this will be interesting to you. It is more brutal than the TV show. But has similar personality.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2.

I think it was a good, entertaining movie at this point.... but not great.
Ill hold off giving it a GusRating till then.

Just out of curiosity, what did you think of the first one?

I had to watch it twice as well... It too was a good, entertaining movie. Maybe even a bit better than the second one.
Its the kind of movie I would watch again for sure... but most likely if Im watching it with someone that has not seen it before in the past.

Surprisingly decent movie. Was worth the rental for a family movie night for sure.

Kingsman: Golden Circle. I have two problems with this movie. First, not enough Channing Tatum. Second, normalization of drug use.
I found it very entertaining and funny. The length of the movie seemed appropriate. And they followed the dramatic rules (for example, if you show a gun in the first act, it gets used in the third act). I give it a strong seven out of ten. If you're not a theater person, you should wait for it on Netflix.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. But that does not mean it was good movie.
Lots of language and adult humor that really didnt add to the overall film...
It was worth the free rental from the local library.
5/10.

Saw Kingsman: Golden Circle again (don't judge, it was free!). I enjoyed it more the second time. Picked up on things I missed.

Ok, this movie was not too bad. It was worth the rental and thats about it.
Yea, I know the premise of the movie was way out there to begin with, so my expectations were already in check.
Ill give it a decent 7/10.
One thing though...

"Blade Runner 2049" - Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies, so I wasn't sure what to think when they first announced the sequel. All these years later, what are they gonna do with my movie. Overall, I liked it, and they were very respectful in using the prior film as a jumping off point. The plot is fairly involved, so I need to do more thinking to figure stuff out, as well as the ramifications of some of what happened. I had planned on seeing this film, then going back and seeing the original (though I have to decide which version, and it's been a while since I've seen any of them), and then seeing this film again. Probably will still do that.
Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine
