Best not to, they'll ruin it for you.
They really ruined Ghost Rider and Venom for me. How could anyone ruin those characters? I mean, Captain America has a shield and his films are awesome.

The Man from UNCLE... I didn't know what to expect from this movie, but it surprised me in a very good way. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute!

There have been a few programs/series that have been brilliant in my mind.
1) HumAns. 8 part series on a world where high quality robotics are now a large part of the world. And then we discover that a small number have attained consciousness. Very thought provoking . Brilliant
2) Catastrophe. Funny, chaotic program about a woman who falls pregnant after a fling and the father offers/decides they should stay together to raise the child. Opens lots of discussion
3) Sharon Horgan. How to be a Good Mother. Interestingly enough Sharon Horgan is the star of Catastrophe. She is also doing another series and the first one on being a good mother is .... out there.

PS Catch the first episode of Catastophe quickly. It will disappear on the 3rd Sept. Well worth the 30 minutes!

Totally agree on the HumAns series. Can't wait for a movie version .... no wait it was called Bladerunner. But it does bring up some very acute social aspects of relationships
Anything with Louis Theroux in it obviously. Americas most hated family is out there.
Street Outlaws on youtube Series 5 BAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAA
Recently watched a sunset a few days ago ....

The Man Who Saved The World
Part Doco part reanactment of USSR's Air Force Lt.Colonel Petrov and how his decision to not follow protocol to retaliate against supposed first strikes from the US saved the world.
In the doco Petrov said they later examine their systems and couldn't find any glitch... .from some interview Chomsky was saying how under Reagan the US was playing around to test Soviet system and response; and lucky for all of us Petrov was on duty that night and overrule all the computers and protocol.
When he met Kevin Costner, the guy ask him what would happen to the world if he had followed through... you've got to really hear it firsthand.

The Martian
Really good movie, more interesting than action, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Enthralling.
You obviously have to cut a bit of slack, with the American BS on what is achievable with duct tape, but it was well acted and entertaining.

A movie, like music, can take one back in time, to another era, to a time of one's misspent youth. 
Managed to see a few old movies of late, movies revisited for the first time in literally decades, forgot some of these even existed:
On any Sunday
Easy Rider
2001. A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Some Aussie movies.
Stone
The Plumber
Razorback
Very interesting to re-watch all of these.
Razorback in particular as it was shot in and around my hometown and features a very close but long departed mate, the "farmer" watching the tele when the wall disappears into the distance.
Stone, what a classic! Quite a few actors then going on to appear in Mad Max. Even Quentin Tarantino rates it.
Might just have to go and dig up Wake in Fright now me thinks...

Yes, wake in fright, it sort of hit a chord with me in my teens, when I saw it in the goldfields.
Same with Stone, the Kwaka 9's and the Norton 750 combat, oh to be young again, lol at least I survived.

Quite enjoyed it.
Duct tape BS and the obligatory token Chinese involvement to add few hundred millions in revenue.
Have you seen Gravity? I think that was better than this - less story and politics, just pure you'd probably don't want to go into space kid kind of message.

Yes, Gravity was more edge of the seat stuff, probably due to moving from one imploding telephone box, to the next.
i think the Martian, had the opportunity to build a better story line, but both good sci fi movies.
Also Matt Damon, is a great actor.IMO
I think when I watched Gravity, I walked out of the cinema exhausted.
When I watched The Martian, I walked out of the cinema entertained, if that makes sense.

The Chinese were in the book so it wasn't just a hollywood add on, made a bit of sense to.
