What film did you watch last night?

Also watched it last night. Gf fell asleep and I wish I had. Really pointless film, I don't even think they even knew what they wanted to do with the main villain. Also found it really really stupid, I'm not a fan of Marvel films in general but do people not get driven mad by all the inconsistancy and lack of logic?

Probably a 5 or 6 out of 10
 
Saw Infinity wars, it was a good film for the most part, the usual logical holes all through it that marvel fanboys excuse with 'its a comic book it's not meant to be realistic!' despite it not being peoples powers i have an issue with lol.

Was much better than black panther though, and probably one of the better ones of all of them, 6/7 out of 10 for me, certainly not the 10/10 i keep seeing bandied about lol.
 
Swiss Army Man

I think I enjoyed it. Every time I found myself smiling the grim reality of what was actually happening made me feel slightly sick...and then it got even weirder....and I'm not so sure I understood the ending either. Would I recommend it? Definitely. Was a a cast iron classic...erm, no? Although bonus points for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Also...
How did he really shave? The way he supposedly does it doesn't seem viable...
 
Sorcerer.

Wow. An interesting film, this. Spent a lot of time thinking about it afterwards (partly because I was trying to work out what one of the characters was doing).

Very, very '70s in its nature, though – but, even so, I'd give it a solid 8/10. Gritty and compelling.

Remade trailer here:

 
Funnily enough, I was just watching that having looked for the trailer – It was Jalopnik that drew my attention to it. If you like Bullitt, Two Lane Blacktop and that kind of thing then you'll probably enjoy it.
 
Avengers: Infinity War - loved it!

Having been very disappointed with Black Panther a few nights ago I have to say that Infinity War was loads better - up there with the very best of the Marvel films imo - if not THE best!

Solid 9/10 for me!
 
Tremors: A Cold Day In Hell.

Okay, so hardly a cinematic masterpiece. Some utterly terrible acting in places, a lot of shonky CGI with the graboids, and some iffy writing. But all is redeemed by Michael Gross' Burt Gummer giving the line about 'the Guinness Book of balls', apparently one of the few ad-libs by Gross:


6/10, because I'm a kindly soul. And I like it when a really good ad-lib makes it into a film.
 
Alien Covenant: 5/10

Prometheus was 4/10; small progress, I guess.

I dearly would love to know how awful script-writers get to attach their awful scripts to big-budget movies. Still baffling to this day.

Whilst not as jaw-droppingly terrible as Prometheus, this is frankly still a bad movie, with clunky dialog and two-dimensional characters. Fassbender is once again the highlight as the creepy synth with his own agenda. Seriously the only interesting/believable character in the whole mess. The humans/fodder don't get much development as they're all just there to be lined up and mown down (eaten) by the CGI monster.

The film was also terrible in a "How many of these scenes from the first film can we re-create, badly, in quick succession, so they have no impact and the audience is actually bored?" It's quite obscene how they can take ideas from a good film and execute them so badly that the finished article has no emotional impact whatsoever.

Perhaps I'm talking myself into giving this 4/10, but Prometheus is much worse, and I can't retrospectively give that 0/10, much as I'd like to.

Its said that the Dormamu bargaining scene could have been repeated thousands of times hence him becoming stronger after a lot of practice.

That bit was weird, for one reason.

They banged on and on about how that realm existed "outside of time", and then ... well, you've seen it.

Also if Dormamu had just ignored Strange and not killed him - like literally just walked away or carried on doing his thing - the whole groundhog day strategy would have been ineffective? Seems like it wasn't really though through at all.
 
Black Panther - 5/10.

Complete yawn fest. How people rave about this film I've no idea. It's a below average Marvel film. Action scenes were dull, characters were dull, the only interesting things were some of the tech/visuals.
