What film did you watch last night?

On a bit of a monster binge at the moment

Pacific Rim - 8.5/10 Still much better than it has any right to be
Pacific Rim: Uprising - 7.5/10 I enjoyed this more than I thought I would from reviews, didn't like the final third as much though, the megazord was a bit lame.
Godzilla - 7.5/10 Saw this closer to release and didn't like it but it's actually better than I remembered.
 
The Forgiven 2021.

5/10 wasted 2 hours of my life. Kept thinking something would happen but the story just goes nowhere. The actors are good and so is the message and the scenery setting, it just falls flat in the story.

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) - 7/10

A relatively straightforward story of the life of a woman who lives on the edge of society as a recluse in the marshlands.

Apart from the setting, it’s a familiar story which shows the events of her life and how those who don’t conform are often persecuted for no good reason.

Good acting and scenery and the drama is well told, although the court proceedings were a bit bland and everything seemed a bit too clean to be believable.

It was good and enjoyable throughout, but none of it really stood out as great.
 
Jurassic World Dominion - ******* terrible. Each instalment has been progressively dumber than the previous entry, but JWD jumps the prehistoric shark. Everything about it was idiotic, but that would be okay if it was at least fun. But no. Dominion does what I thought should have been impossible - it makes dinosaurs boring.
 
The Gray Man (2022)

Netflix gives $200 to the Russo brothers and they spend it on drones, globe trotting and some ropey CGI. The plot is as generic and clichéd as it gets, but everything else about the film adds up to an enjoyable whole.

Compared to what Netflix normally churns out it's a 7/10.

Just watched this, where the hell did the 200mil go? Cause it wasn't on the screen.
 
Midnight in the switch grass, some of the worse acting I've ever seen and wtf were the completely random flashbacks about, saying that the story was interesting enough so I followed it through to the end
 
Eliminators (1986) - another vid rental from the 80s. With a term like 'Mandroid' a cyborg who is sometimes half-man half BigTrak and that Tasha lass from ST:TNG how could it fail? Bonkers scientist wants to travel back in time and become the new caesar.

You definitely get the feeling that when filmmakers know Netflix is footing the bill the price of the movie doubles. It's almost like they get scammed because they're newbies in the film production game.

I would say the big stars probably got decent pay in the movie. Evans was a great douche bad guy, de armas was a good character and gosling was damn good. I think that massive shootout and chase cost big money as most of it looked practical.

I enjoyed it. Good action, good cast, decent story. 8-8.5/10 for me.

8/10

A fantastic, relatively low budget mind bending film. Well worth a watch.

I could kiss you!! I’ve been trying to remember the name of this film for a couple of days now. Was doing my absolute head in. Couldn’t remember enough specifics to get a decent Google search but did remember I really wanted to watch it again (I was a bit the worse for wear first time I saw it)
 
Piqued my interest that has, going to give it a watch.
