Was worried this may be a little brutal for the sake of it, but actually it was a fairly deep and intelligent film. Far better than a lot of Hollywood films that cost ten times the amount to make. Ending was a little bit of a let down though.

The ending was a damp squib after all the pain and suffering to get there.

The Gentlemen - 7/10 - Guy Richie back to making "Guy Richie Type" films and he's bloody good at it! Easily on par with Lock Stock, Sherlock Holmes and Snatch etc and way better than his recent guff of Aladdin and King Arthur. The whole cast was great with Hugh Grant standing out as fantastic but my only casting disappointment was that Guy Richie keeps casting Charlie Hunnam and the guy just can't make the cross-over to movies (loved him in Sons of Anarchy) and as he's such a central character we get to spend too much time with him and it grates to see the actor fail so hard.

The script is tight if a little "over the top fake" sweary in places, the action scenes are well done, the story is typically "Guy Richie Twisty, the soundtrack is great and the visuals are very good too. Other than Hunnam, for me anyway, it's a bloody good film.

For once I thought that Hunnam was actually quite decent

When we say watched I managed about 40 minutes of "Underwater"

It got to the stage I really couldn't give a toss what happened to any of the characters and no matter how much flesh Kristen Stewart (looking like Eminem's little brother) flashes she is never going to look sexy enough to rescue this disaster of a movie.

Just don't waste your time like I did . . . .

The invisible Man Solid 8/10

I’m forgiving the certain holes in the plot due to the way the film got me staring into the background with a sense of dread.

It kept me entertained and

I really wanted the central character to win !

I watched two movies yesterday. The first one was Hell or High Water. A movie set in Texas about two brothers trying to get money to keep one of the brothers farm. Would score it 7/10. Good filmed, pretty good acting too and some alright action scenes.

I also watched No Country for Old Men. It isn't the most fast paced movie I've seen, but it is really good. 7,5/10 in score here.

Can't believe The Platform is dubbed, only just got Netflix yesterday and was going out of my mind wondering why the audio was out of sync!

That's a relief.

The film was good, I just don't understand the ending at all.

Chappie

I really enjoyed it, robot becomes sentient and learns about life in a future south Africa. Funny, emotional and gripping.

7.5/10

Also watched murder mystery, cheap comedy flick. 6/10.

The Irishman. Worth a watch. 7/10

The Hunt.

Errr, I really liked it. Loved the main character.

8/10.

Dave85 · 29 Mar 2020 at 19:09

Also watched the hunt after of course watching Hard Target as they clearly taken some inspiration from it.

Hard Target 8/10 for me one of van dammes finest.
The hunt 8/10 also really liked the main character she didn't half pull some amazing expressions

neviditelny · 29 Mar 2020 at 19:33

Atomic Blond, awesome movie! Great action scenes, and super soundtrack! Charlize Theron does a great work in it, and James McAvoy is brilliant as well.

Some of the actions of the crew were just maddening.

What, like just opening the door and strolling around an alien planet without any form of protective gear at all?

I'm a sucker for a monster movie so went to see this at the cinema (pre-shutdown). Love the comment about Eminem's little brother, that is so accurate. Why she went with the shaved head look is beyond me. Not a great film but very mediocre and some truly non-sensical plot elements.
My favourite part was with TJ Miller

getting killed as I loathe that prat. He always just plays himself and I don't like him in the first place so it just grates on me every time I see him.

IvanDobskey · 29 Mar 2020 at 21:17

Black Hawk Down 7.5/10
Not seen it since it was on at the cinema. Really gritty and action packed war film. Ridley Scott showing he could do any genre. Shame he's lost the plot these days

BeelzebubUK · 30 Mar 2020 at 00:31

Contagion (2011) 6/10

Hadn't seen this before and if it wasn't for present circumstances I would probably have been more bored but was a pretty interesting film to watch right now.

People willy nilly award 8/10 these days...either they are easily pleased....or have really low quality threshold...

You're allowed an opinion and thats fine, but 8/10 really? Just watched it....It was crap...

Clunky end fight sequence......Please director go watch a QT movie FFS

Yep, people throw around 8's and 9's to any old crap on here it seems

I rarely find myself giving a film much more than a 6 personally. It's got to be a bit special to get an 8+.
