What film did you watch last night?

Bad Turn Worse. Hicksville gangster flick. Doesn't really work. 5/10.

But Han is dies in drift so how can he be in 7

It's a bit complicated, but if you watch the films carefully you'll see how it works.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It's not even finished yet, but I can confidently say it's tripe. Short of Anna Kendrick turning up and taking her top off I can't see anything saving this.

Yeah

All the Hobbit films are over-long nonsense.

Money money money

I slightly disagree, The Hobbit films (The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit the Desolation of Smaug, The Hobbit the Battle of Five Armies. D. Peter Jackson, 2012, 2013, 2014) should not be understood as an example of fidelity adaptation, but rather as an amalgamation of the palimpsest and appropriation theory.

I think it 'works' when viewed with those theories in mind.

As films, they are bloated in places and suffer from chronic pacing issues.

Back To The Future III. It's good, but not brilliant. The train sequence is brilliant - great use of physical effects. The ending is a big cheese sandwich.

I'm not sure whether it's better than the second. The second is better in terms of actual sci fi content, but it's darker in the middle. The first is, needless to say, an absolute masterpiece.

I love the Back to the Future trilogy, all great in my eyes

can watch them over and over again.

Music is great too.

He's not in 7? it shows you that Jason Staham's character is the one who killed Han in Tokyo Drift?

The Elevator: Three Minutes Can Change Your Life. Clumsy title for a clumsy film.

Two people are stuck in a lift. Only one of them wants to be there. I waited 90 minutes for something to happen. It didn't.

I got less than I bargained for—and my expectations weren't high to begin with. 3/10.

Chappie

8/10

Enjoyed it overall - it had some funny moments. I couldn't stop loling at the car-jacking scenes.

RIZZEE · 22 Aug 2015 at 16:07

The Adjustment Bureau - had some potential to be pretty great but was a pretty predictable and boring.

If you watched a film with that title you deserve everything you get

I'll bet it's a chick flick. As a premise for a film, it was virtually guaranteed to stink

Just don't watch the ITV version of Back to the Future. You'll be sitting there waiting for classic lines and scenes that have been completely edited out.

"When this baby hits 88 miles per hour ... you're gonna see some serious ****".

It was bad enough (but laughably acceptable) when they changed the naughty word for "stuff", but now the entire scene has gone.

Bad ITV. Shame on you!

The amount of shocking stuff on broadcast and that has been edited...

Steampunk · 22 Aug 2015 at 20:30

It's not just the movies - so many TV comedy series have been edited to take out even the slightest suggestive joke, that many of the scenes don't make sense. Jokes with no punchlines, punchlines that had no jokes, laughs and reactions over things you haven't seen.

That's one of my favourite lines in pretty much any film ever.

American Sniper 8/10.

Pretty good movie, I was really tense at some points when the action was kicking off. Feel that it lacked detail and skipped over bits towards the end though in a rush to finish the movie.

RIZZEE · 22 Aug 2015 at 22:23

Source Code - Pretty boring

Sankari · 23 Aug 2015 at 06:07

A Fork in the Road. An enterprising young nudist on the run from the law encounters a semi-naked young woman while invading her home. Hilarity ensues! 8/10.

Serious? I thought it was the shizzle.

Rybo89 · 23 Aug 2015 at 08:16

Avengers (the new one)

Meh, it was ok... 6/10

Freakbro · 23 Aug 2015 at 11:39

Nightcrawler - 8/10

Gyllenhaal's character reminded me of Mr Robot, with that emotionally detached personality, though far more sociopathic!

Good film and very good performance.

One of my faves in the last 12 months.

A refreshingly different film.

Avengers - Age of Ultron

Was ok, not as good as the first one. Relaxed my brain for a couple of hours which is what I expected and wanted.

Wizzfizz · 23 Aug 2015 at 12:43

Rush Hour 3

Not as 'good' as the ones before but still entertained

6/10

lokiss · 23 Aug 2015 at 15:19

Just got back from seeing Rouge Nation.

Aces: Perfect, all good if you like the sort of film.
