Locke - 0.5/10. Wish I had watched something else like The Raid 2.
No idea why it got such good reviews! One of the most tedious films I've ever sat through. Definitely not a 'thriller'. More of a BMW idrive advert than anything else.
Navy seals recon team in Afghan get ambushed on a bungled mission and try to get out alive. apparently based on true events.. Bit of a more modern "Black hawk down" film against all odds with a rescue attempt.. etc etc a good formula for this kind of film.
Its pretty good, graphic and i winced plenty of times.... gets a bit Call of duty in places but maybe the US military is really just that weird....
BASED on real events... but seriously juiced up for a pretty decent film.
Just watched that last night too, yea it was a good film, 7.5 / 10
The main thing that annoyed me about it though was the usual preposterous scenario you get in pure fiction films, where the 'bad guys' get shot once and go down but the 'good guys' get shot half a dozen times (including in the head in this one...) and just keep on going...

That's one of the only accurate facts in the movie. The injuries sustained by the SEAL's IRL were exactly the same as shown in the film after the director was given access to the autopsy reports and Luttrel's own memories of the event.
I watched Gravity last night and Rush earlier before that.
I thought Gravity was OK but there wasn't really a story or a plot I felt. The special effects and sounds were pretty amazing but they couldn't cover up for quite a poor story. 6/10.
Rush however was brilliant. Yes I'm an F1 fan and I know quite a bit about the history of the sport and James Hunt's title year but I learned quite a bit more about that season. The shot of Niki Lauda as he is now and the archive footage of both Lauda and Hunt were beautifully poignant.
9/10 easily. I would say that my opinion of Lauda has worsened having watched the film. I found his character to be quite arrogant and too logical, "20% risk only" and where his character remarks that if there was another way he could earn the kind of money he could in F1 he'd do that. People will say the top F1 drivers are arrogant and I accept that. I just felt that Lauda's character was too cold in viewing F1 as a way of making money rather than as a sport in which to become a respected legend.
Put in charge of his young son, Alain leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Alain's bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident.
Didn't know what to expect with this but glad to say it was entertaining. Adult humour with fairly sharp lines and they make no mistake pretending that they're still young and take the pee out of themselves which is nice to see and refreshing. I liked it!
The 3D was actually very good, bettered only by Avatar and Gravity imo. Swinging through the city in 3D was sexy as hell.
Great mix of action,
Dat first fight with Electro and the slow-mo stopping of people touching the electrified rails!
humour
Answering the wrench instead of the phone.
and sadness,
The whole Gwen death scene was very well done imo.
exactly what the Spidey comics are. Some proper lol moments I wasn't expecting, way more than the 1st one.
The only negatives I have are the changes to some origin stories, some of the casting choices, and the rushed feel of the "Spiderman is awesome... I HATE spiderman." change of hearts some of the characters have.
I do wonder who the fourth bad guy will be, we obviously have Rhino, Doc Oc and Vulture based on the Oscorp equipment.
Also, off the back of her valedictorian speech, Emma Stone has a really nice voice.. and those boots! Hnnnnnnngh!
I haven't enjoyed a superhero flick as much since The Dark Knight, well done, 9/10 from me!
Dwayne Dibley gets spurned by his super hero idol and goes full retard. Thoroughly enjoyable romp that tugs at the heart strings one way or another.
Yeah the 3d was excellent.
And yeah Emma Stone, hnnnnnnnnnngh, in the long boots or socks. You could see in the first one the chemistry between the two of them, no wonder they ended up together.
