The Magnificent Seven - 2016 version, was very well shot with some good scenery and obviously a lot of money spent on sets etc. Action good, tight level of humour too. However it wasn't very gripping. 3/5

Mother!
Weird movie, and I had to look up what it meant. Made loads more sense once I found out it was a bunch of Biblical allegory. Trippy, but would not watch again.
6/10
It (2017)
So so SO much better than the old version, stuff actually happened, Pennywise was nice and creepy, and parts were pretty funny. Sophia Lillis is going to grow up to be hawt.
7/10

I'll have to read about the true story, but I couldn't get over (a) how ridiculous it was to start a battle at the bottom of a cliff and have to climb up and (b) why the Japanese didn't just push forward to the cliff as their defence point

Or indeed why they didn't just cut down the net that allowed the US troops to climb up in the first place.
When they chased Desmond to the edge at the end I was like "throw a ****ing grenade over!"

The Greatest Showman (2017) - 6/10
Plenty of toe tapping songs, glitz and glamour in this musical, but the more modern pop style doesn’t always fit with the Victorian setting.
The film mostly looks great and the story has strong morals, but doesn’t flow as well as it should and the drama and darker elements are mostly glossed over in favour of having a good time.
Still, if it’s entertainment, powerful songs and dance pieces you’re after, you should enjoy it.

I enjoyed it up until he stamped on someone’s head and it exploded, went downhill from there.
Bladerunner 2049
Ford picks up a pay cheque
Gosling does one line "Drive"
Leto doesn't let up with his staged pretentiousness staggered delivery
Mediocre Score
Ludicrous plot holes
Overlong punchy wunchy fight scenes
Token Replicant rebellion army ham fisted in.
Much to long and riddled with nonsense
6/10
It's getting a 6 not a 5 cause of the eye candy.

I'd give 1/10 sheer utter pants.
Total waste of 2.5hrs of my life.
Gosling is one the most wooden 'actors' ever.
Don't waste your time - Watch the fire go out instead.
Hail Ceasar! - Coen brothers having a dig at Hollywood in the 1950's with out of control starlets and communist plots. Not their best but any thing from those two is worth a watch and this was good. 4/5

What would you call a good science fiction ?
The Wicker Man (2006).

Despite the really low rating that you often see on websites, I quite enjoyed it. I have seen it a long time ago and thought it would be worth another look.

interstellar - never seen it before but just finished it. I can't believe people rate it - the story is the most badly written pretentious garbage i have ever seen in a mainstream movie. Its like a badly written student film by someone with a child's understanding of physics. I don't know what it is but it isn't a sci-fi movie.

It’s proper bilge, aye.
Ok over the last few days, rewatched the first two films of the Planet of the Apes and finally sat down to watch War of the Planet of the Apes.
First two films were brilliant, definite 8/10s.
War of the Planet of the Apes 6/10 For me, this movie wasn't great. It was nothing like I was expecting and was different than the first two movies.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) - 7/10
A solidly fun and entertaining action film.
It doesn’t really have the charm of the original and the plot is a simple rehash of the original, but it manages to stay fresh and exciting thanks to the good range of characters, top special effects and modern take on events.
Plenty of jokes and a warm moral ending make up for the lacklustre villain and predictably cliché romance sub-plots.

I could go...all far superior than BR 2049 and interstellar
Yep,
Utter dross...the robot walks things ( a nod to the monolith in 2001) where laughable along with the majority of the rest of the movie...I hated it...
