Watched Top Gun in preparation for Top Gun 2 on Friday. Wow i couldnt remember it being so... clunky, pacing was off and the action sequences were i guess (brillant at the time) but not as good as i remembered. Could have sworn it was a lot better than what i watched. Guess as a kid you dont notice as much
The day after I saw this at the cinema I joined the Royal Navy for 7 years , that was in 1986 and I was 17 . Wont be doing that again on Sunday when we go and see it .

Amazon Prime fired up last night .
On her Majesty’s Secret Service, wow what an understated bond film . Lazenby was superb along with Savallas , what a cracking sound track .
loved it 8/0.

It's my favourite Bond film.
@Bald-Eagle22 OHMSS is brilliant, the sound track is awesome.
I always had expectations having first watched Craig's Casino Royale, the series reboot was always going to build up to the OHMSS plot... Sadly not.
The Changeling (1980)
Never heard of this film before, starring Robert C Scott so I had a feeling it wouldn't be too shabby.
I really enjoyed, a slow burning ghost story and more akin to thrillers like The Dead Zone (1980) rather than an outright horror. 8/10. Love these types of ghostly stories!

Yeah, that was my impression on this film too. Gave up on it pretty early. It was starting to give me a headache
Cop Land - nothing really needs to be said.
8/10
8/10
We watched this last night, 7/10 is a fair score, though it's definitely not going to be everyones liking.
That scene with the cat....

Yeh, being a huge cat lover, I really struggled with that sceneWe watched this last night, 7/10 is a fair score, though it's definitely not going to be everyones liking.

It's definitely not a mainstream film. But quite creative and different I thought.
Dr strange : MoM 6/10
Not sure if it's the title that felt a bit misleading but it literally just felt like it should have been called Steven Strange vs Wanda Maximoff.
I expected something totally different and I hope the next one will be better as this felt like it went to the far ends of a fart and dragged 30-45 minutes extra than it needed to.

Top Gun Maverick (2022) - 9/10
An excellent movie that captures the style and magic of the original whilst bringing it up to date.
The plots follow similar beats and themes to other films, but are told well and with a light touch, whilst also being a respectful memorial and entertaining.
Great acting, good characters, iconic music, stunning aerial action scenes and an edge of your seat exciting finale.

10/10 for me. This is one you definitely want to see in the cinema.

Top Gun: Maverick - 8/10
Saw this in 4DX which really is perfect for this sort of stuff. Cinematography is clearly incredible as many of the flight scenes you’re in the aircraft seeing the actors faces as they are actually flying around. Enough of a story to hold it together but nothing particular fantastic. The Penny relationship works really well and a nice bit with Iceman as well.

MEN (2022) - 2/10
I think everyone in the cinema kept watching after the credits title scene as they were waiting for an explanation of what they had just watched. Unfortunately, this never came.
It has a few good elements, a somewhat disturbing atmosphere and strong acting performances, but it’s far too obscure and slow to be entertaining.
A slow burner that never ignited, it’s excessively gory with imagery which added nothing to it and left me bored before the end.
