The Witch

Ermmmmmmmm I appreciate it but not a fan.

Can't really give a score because I found it weird, too weird. 4/10 for enjoyment.
 
Whiplash - Tried to watch this with my GF a few weeks ago but we turned it off after 30 mins as she wasn't feeling it.
I went back and resumed it on my own yesterday.
With all the praise this movie gets it was rather plodding and quite boring. J.K Simmons was the only saving grace with his hilarious insults.
4/10
 
A few recently

Gone Baby Gone - Ranks up there with Gone Girl and Prisoners for me. Great film.

The Perks of Being A Flower - First viewing of this. I was pleasantly surprised throughout. Even the Mrs liked this and she's a difficult customer when it comes to films.

Captain Fantastic - Recommendation from the Mrs. Superb film. One of the best I've seen in a while.

Friday Night Lights - A mix of Coach Carter and Any Given Sunday. Both are farrrr better. Casting 25-30 year olds as 17 year old teenagers just doesn't work, when will they learn.

The Route - Another fantastic film. Depressingly grim, but superb from start to finish.

Saw this in the cinema and enjoyed it.

Totally failed to notice it was set in the '80s though. Even when they were using cassettes - I just figured it was some youth counter-culture thing :p

Come on - I've seen The Witch, Arrival and this get slated in the past page or so, and I loved them. People just have different tastes, something you'll have to accept or you'll turn into Easyrider.

But regarding Whiplash, I'm afraid Maxter_X is just wrong :p

The film is superb, the pacing and constant rhythm (excuse the pun) of the film is outstanding. Not to mention that the performances, writing and direction are all fantastic!

This, people like different things. Film snobs really annoy me, thinking that their opinion of a movie is better than another person's.

Who the hell are you or Vonhelmet to tell Maxter_x that he is wrong for not liking a movie? And what difference does the acting, writing or any of that make to a person who didn't enjoy the movie?

There is no right or wrong in a person's taste in movies. I just find it really strange that people feel need to change the other person's opinion to match their own. Look at the bickering over the last few pages about La La Land and why Raymond likes it so much. It makes no sense, if Raymond likes the movie enough to watch it tens times in a row, then, good for him. Why do other people want to tell him he is wrong for that?

It's like arguing over why somebody likes the colour blue. It just makes no sense to me.
 
So I finally decided to Give Batman V Superman a try. I'm yet to truly enjoy a superman film or anything DC tbh expect the plan trilogy.

What a bore it was! First two hours where slow, real slow. All of this building up to these two battling it out then it's like a 2 minute fight before batmans just like "Nah dude my grudge is over you said someone else's name during our fight". Then the last hour just felt so rushed.

And my final comment on this film is what the hell was up with the theme tune whenever Wonder Woman came on screen! Completely threw me out of the moment all three times.

At the end of the day I went into it not expecting much and was better than I thought it would be. Ballsy move killing superman this early on in the DC universe.

I wouldn't agree with that, but I do agree that of course it's largely subjective. However, whether a film was well acted and well shot or not, I don't think is subjective. There is of course such a thing as a technically bad film which can be enjoyable, just look at Love Actually!

Apologies if my opinion offended you!

e: that paragraph of mine was a mess :(

Wind it in...

Care to tell me what you loved so much about Arrival then?

I'm genuinely interested.

And Its more than just different tastes...

Film is more complex than that.
