What film did you watch last night?

Nocturnal Animals. Pretty heavy going in places. Well made. I liked it.

Same. It thinks it's 10 times clever then it actually is, but I like it for what it is.

Joke gyllenhaal has a great hit rate for picking good scripts. Always very watchable

The Dark Tower

I had been looking forward to seeing this but it wasn't anywhere near in depth enough and left me disappointed.

5/10

The Snowman (2017) - 3/10

Slow, boring and plodding with no suspense or action, and a rushed ending that defies belief.

There’s a good serial killer story with personal stakes, misdirection and mystery in there, but its buried beneath poor pacing and bland performances.

I found the setting and atmosphere of Norway really adds to the style of the film with its stunning views, beauty and bleakness.

Just back from watching this and my thoughts are similar. I give it 2/10 and that 2 is purely for the Norway scenery. You know a film is poor when you find the scenery more interesting than the film. The film itself was worse than many TV shows and if it wasnt for the fact that we watched the film effectively for free (Odeon Limitless) then I would be pretty damned annoyed. Riddled with plot holes, entire premises not explained and a bad guy who was obvious from almost the moment you first see him.

Fassbender can pick some awful films.
I have not seen snowman, but he was in that awful mess the councellor some years ago and it was incredible muck.

 

[neviditelny]

Saw Blade Runner 2049 tonight and I thought it was brilliant. 9/10. Great visuals, a good story as well and good acting.

 

[Jokester]

Darn, was looking forward to The Snowman, will strike it off the list I think.

Get Out 7/10

Felt better than low budget horror, but in a kind of made for TV way. Enjoyed it well enough in an average, not too bad kind of way.

 

[PlacidCasual]

Well Split was on the box tonight. I rather enjoyed it probably a 7 out of 10. I thought James McAvoy was good really pulled off the different characters well. My only minor gripe was the oh so predictable troubled past of the lead female protagonist. But at least they didn't dwell on it.

 

[Vonhelmet]

The Accountant. Meh/10.

Ridley, 2 good movies to his name by my count (Alien and BR).

 

[JediFragger]

The Accountant. Meh/10.

Felt the same, was a bit paint-by-numbers for me.

Watched Atomic Blonde last night and was fairly decent, nice to see Ms Theron kicking some ass (and good 80s soundtrack) - 6.5/10 for me

 

[Gerard]

Ridley, 2 good movies to his name by my count (Alien and BR).

Gladiator, Black Hawk Down?

Sorry, I was talking top-top-tier, which imo those 2 aren't.

Ridley, 2 good movies to his name by my count (Alien and BR).

The Martian was also great?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Thelma & Louise is iconic as well but I do agree may be perhaps his golden years are behind him.

 

[Chojin]

For me it was Robin Hood that killed Ridley Scott's winning streak. He dropped the ball on that one. I do also wonder how much influence these old school directors have with CGI heavy films.

 

[JediFragger]

The Martian was also great?

Again good, but not genre-defining great (my opinion of course).
