War of the World's (Tom Cruise remake) 6/10.
Quite a good blockbuster but the little girl screaming all the time ruins it for me. She's ultra annoying.

Eh, I did not say anything about Star Wars being the single 'first' blockbuster, I said it rose from the ashes of the 'New Hollywood', and was (in his opinion) a perfect film.
Jaws (Spielberg, 1975) was an excellent film and one of the first 'blockbusters' that emerged out of the 'New Hollywood' too. Wrote a paper on it last year.
No, you didn't say "first" you said "birth".
I didn't say "first", I said "birth".
Which is Jaws, as that is 1975 and Star Wars is 1977. Sure they both being that close together cement the term blockbuster and Star Wars' importance in history, but Jaws is generally credited as the birth of the blockbuster.

Watched this last night - and agree with you. Great acting from Jake but the rest of the movie lacked real depth and emotion. I guess when you have 50 in the movie, its inevitable.
Deffo not one for my collection.

Would have been 5/10 without her
Ah ok, was totally lost how anyone could think Sicario was crap.
+1,
I didn't like it, either, though not sure I could be that harsh!
Seen that recently too and thought it was nicely made and well acted but found myself getting a little bored and just thinking, "cool story brah" at the end. Wouldn't be as harsh on the score but can't see myself wanting to watch it again at any point in the future.

Meh but Zombie stripper and the Zombie cop gotta be worth it. More of a spoof than serious which is the best way to make a another Zombie movie now anyway.
7//10.
Yeah it doesn't take itself too seriously which is a positive. I'm just longing for a good zombie film or hell even a Dawn of The Dead style remake at this point. 28 Days/Weeks/Months franchise is dead in the water last time I checked and with the genre becoming so saturated and popular over last decade we are just seeing too much dross being released.
Star Wars: the Force Awakens
JJ Abrams takes the beloved franchise and does what George Lucas was singularly incapable of doing and made a follow-up to the Star Wars movies that respects the originals. There's a host of hat tips to the old movies and characters and it takes the well-worn tropes of the originals and both revisits and refreshes them as well as creating new places, new characters and new visuals that expand on what was best about the series. I loved it.
