Just watched Assassins Creed, but I feel like I've wasted 2 hours of my life. Boring, padded and a lot of nothing.

Great success!

35 years of watching Kellys Heroes (Great film

) and I just noticed at the end when divvying up the gold he says they have 125 boxes at $8,400 each and the other guy says that's $10,500,000 ....

Heh, I saw that Monday, was ok, better than I expected... 7 / 10

If there was a maths blooper in that, as you can tell, i'm not great at spotting them

Same time, same place in 35 years, then?

I thought it's fairly obvious due to the mental nicety you could make of dividing both numbers by 100, performing the scaling and scaling again by the factor you'd extracted. (This is also why I watch films in dark rooms where nobody can see me.)

Making a sequel to it at the moment I think?

Yeah, filming for 'Bad Boys for Life' is supposed to start in March 2017, with a release around January 2018.

Apologies if my opinion of Bad Boys offends your "taste".
Heaven forbid I rubbish metacritics 74th best film of 1995.

http://www.metacritic.com/browse/movies/score/metascore/year/filtered?sort=desc&year_selected=1995

Or "do down" it's huge 6.8 on IMDB.

A whole lot of people pay good Money to watch Bay films, so I guess like Take That's and Michael Ball's "music", it/they must be of merit, just not for me.

Uncle Petey · 28 Dec 2016 at 21:00

I'd understand if you were talking about Bad Boys 2.

stewski · 28 Dec 2016 at 21:09

Well to be fair I'm still smarting as I went to see it as Mark Kermode talked it up as the new Leathal Weapon/Die Hard at the time, it wasn't. At least I learn't never to listen to the Kermode...

Uncle Petey · 28 Dec 2016 at 21:12

Have you been holding this grudge since 1995?

stewski · 28 Dec 2016 at 21:16

Actually I've seen a few other Bay movies since and heard MK talk about film. Nothing good came of either.

Bad Boys is superb entertainment. I would trade 10 Marvel films for another Michael Bay directed Bad Boys.

I thought it was incredibly boring and failed to be remotely amusing. Will Smith's character was so annoying and not at all his usual charming self. I actually think I enjoyed the second flick more :eek:

I just finished watching Pride Prejudice and Zombies - what a mixed bag of a film. It was less 'dumb' than I expected it to be, but it was less 'silly' (in the fun way) too. Very watchable but it probably bombed due to not being obviously appealing to anyone in particular... a bit of a shame really as it wasn't that bad.

6/10

Short Circuit 1 - 7/10

Short Circuit 2 - 6/10

Lunatic Dreyfus · 28 Dec 2016 at 21:46

Suicide Squad 3/10

Breakdown of score:

1 point for me getting to the end
1 point for Batfleck
1 point for Margot Robbie's bum

Review:

What in the hell did I just watch!? :eek:

Easily the worst cobbled together film I've seen in years. Artless, senseless rubbish.

Room 9/10

Oh Brie Larson is becoming one of my favourite actresses, absolutely superb acting. Gripping from start to finish.

Interesting as for me I loved Will Smith's character in the two Bad Boys film, as well as Independence Day and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Everything else he has been in I've found to be unconvincing, or felt he was miscast. Kind of frustrating seeing him consistently acting in films you're not interested in, while at the same time Michael Bay continues his delayed onset Transformers fetish. Hoping the third installment comes to fruition as it's been pushed back quite a few times now.

I'm also a big fan of the Badboy's Movies, two of the few movies Michael Bay got right but I guess its a matter of taste.

Why Him

It passes the 6 laughs test, looked at my watch once mid way through the movie. I guess it is better than most comedies these days. Some cringe moments but most of the jokes are your regular fart jokes.

6/10 (not worth getting on Bluray, perhaps worth catching when its on Netflix)

MagicBoy · 28 Dec 2016 at 23:43

Rogue One.

8/10. Very enjoyable. Does everything a Star Wars movie should.

Nowt wrong with a good fart joke. I always giggled at the most famous movie of all time, Gone with the Wind.
