What film did you watch last night?

Free Guy - 5/10 - OK, had a better start, a seriously flat middle and an OK-at-best ending. Lots of "references" for people to geek out about but by 45mins into it I was bored silly with the story and didn't re-engage til the last 15 minutes at most.
 
No stand out moments?!

Seeing Free City/GTA rip off.

Captain America's shield, then the Chris Evan cameo.

Hulk fist.

Light sabre and Star Wars music.

+ when the coders were chasing him through the city/tower blocks - very cool.[/spoilers]

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic...

Its pretty sad that this is what wins brownie points in peoples eyes if you aren't. More and more "nerd" films are just sticking them full of references to nerd culture instead of actually making a good film. If the good parts of a film is where they lazily insert a reference to another film or a celebrity cameo then its hard to say thats a good film.

This was a popcorn movie, not Schindler's List.

It was a fun ride and something all the family could watch.

I enjoyed it for what it was.
 
Free Guy 6/10 was alright, very much like Ready Player One but different enough to not be a complete rip off

The Suicide Squad 5/10 much better than the 1st, some funny moments, a bang average film that if you didn't know you wouldn't realise it's in the same universe as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman
 
Ant Man and the Wasp

About half of the film is good, and it lands most of its jokes well, but the story and action lack punch and I was bored by the time it reached its climax.

Not Marvel's best 5/10
 
No Time to Die - 8.5/10

I saw it last night and thought it was fantastic. Obviously slightly biased by the excitement of the whole event itself - but I do think the film is excellent fun. Some great action, the comedic moments/one-liners were absolutely on point and not too "Bond-ey", and there's some great emotion to it as well. People will pick holes in the plot itself but you know what, it's a Bond movie.
I don't want to say anymore really.
 
last night i watch SkyFall in 4k and the night before last it was quantum of solace in 4k. for tonight shell be Spectre in 4k in preparation for No time To Die on Thursday night @ Odeon.
 
Free Guy (Disney+) 7/10

Some humorous touches, massive CGI, ridiculous brain off film and very enjoyable. Some similarities to Ready Player One.

Can't believe its streaming for free.
 
Gemini Man - 3/10
Is was just a bit rubbish with some okay action scenes.

couldn't remember it's name - that was the bike chase sequence (thanks Ange lee) that I was confusing with Bond -
trying to remember what were the real memorable moments from the Craig dynasty - came up with the stairwell fight scene in casino royale, and the "it gets easier" to kill people start scene - compared to earlier bonds.

watching bond films before going to see the new one - I need a famine to appreciate a new one.
