What film did you watch last night?

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) - 4/10

Depending on your level of hero worship to Cage, it’s either a multi-layered adult drama with iconic self-reflection or a narcissistic ego trip which can’t make its mind up what it wants to be.

None of it was particularly great, although the acting was good and the premise showed a lot of promise.

The action was passable, the comedy minimal and the story inconsistent.

Actually a right hand drive vehicle or did someone flip the footage and not notice?

EDIT: Looks like it was filmed in Wales... and people saying all the driving scenes are obviously a static vehicle being rocked by the crew LOL.

This has to be seen to be believed, it makes the acting in a porno where the plumber has called to “clean out the pipes” seem Oscar worthy. It’s set in 1990 yet has modern police cars and modern led lights on them, the sheriff at one point is driving a car (B.A Baracus style) and it’s a right hand drive police car….in Utah no less.


The budget on this thing must have been a fiver tops, that’s including payment for the “actors”.

:D

One to avoid, then? :D
 
Alien 10/10 Still holds up so well, some of the close up puppet shots are a little shaky but the overall atmosphere is as intense now as it was then

Prometheus 5/10 Visually beautiful, as dumb and nonsensical as a bag of rocks with the most stupid scientists ever seen on film. Such a missed opportunity.
 
The Batman, sub par trash, has all the ingredients to be good but just doesn't work, flat, unlikeable characters. Soundtrack also didn't seem upto scratch. Bale still king of the bats. 5/10
 
Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes
8/10

A low budget independent subtitled Japanese film about a group of people who realise they can use a monitor and a TV screen to see themselves two minutes in the future. It's set in one location, apparently filmed on iPhones and with no flashy effects. But watching the story unfold was excellent. Recommended.

This emphasises what I said in a Netflix thread the other day about the medicore content Netflix keeps adding, it's rated 2.8/10 on IMDB - it's not isolated either, spent a while looking at scores of new movies they add and a massive amount is rated less than 4/10 on IMDB.

Good I did check IMDB as it took my fancy and was going to watch it blind, glad I saved myself the time :)

Or you could ignore other people's opinions and what it for your self. You may enjoy it. I never read reviews or take note of others views until I've seen something so can judge for myself.

I watch a lot of horror so i'll happily watch stuff rated 4 or 5/10 on IMDB as horror is unfairly downrated a lot, however years of experience tells me that anything rated as low as a 2.8/10 isn't worth the time.

What others rate low you may actually enjoy. Not saying it will be good. But that you might have a good time with it.

I get what you're saying and what I said about horror movies is testament to that - however I have family, time solo for watching movies is extremely limited, maybe 1 or 2 movies a week just for myself. A decade ago, i'd happily watch the most awful content that might have some redeeming features, just don't have the time/patience for that now.

FWIW - I don't take a rating at face value, I often read a few of the reviews as well to get a feel of the movie, however sometimes crap is just, well...crap :)
 
The Northman

4 of us went to see it last night, I enjoyed it but the other 3 thought it was garbage. Mostly because of the style I think, it was quite arty with lots of imagery and quite slow and drawn out.

Believe me, he won't enjoy this, it's like a high school movie project starring people that were grabbed off the street to act in it.

I'm definitely with SixTwoSix. As he says, you need a little context around the rating, but honestly I think more people need to do a little research before they pick a movie or TV show to watch. Lots of people saying it's all rubbish these days, it really isn't, they're just picking the wrong things to watch.

This thread and the 'what TV I just watched' are great ways of finding things you'll enjoy, but I usually check out their IMDb rating too :)
