It's a brilliant movie. Seen it few times. One of few movies that gets a 10/10 out of me. 2nd movie was not as good.

Serpico - 8/10
One of Pacino's finest.

Also watched this last night, I'd have gone with a 4/10 felt like it had been over done and didn't really give a view of who is mates were, felt they needed more of an intro

Blue Beetle (2023) - 6/10
A light-hearted and fun family-friendly superhero movie.
It’s a little bit different thanks to the Mexican and family-centric focus, but otherwise it’s your standard origin story fare with a traditional and predictable plot and characters.
There’s plenty of great special effects, silly humour and engaging action scenes, but it brings nothing new to the genre and is a bit too long overall.

Deadwood - the Movie
Made as a feature length wrap up for the (excellent) TV series, and picking up about ten years later. We get a jaunt out of all the familiar characters and a few loose ends wrapped up, but there's little here other than nostalgia for the series. It certainly wouldn't stand up as a movie on its own merits, and the plot is nothing particularly special but... that nostalgia is a strong draw.
6/10 - worth watching for fans of the series, not for anyone else.

Yeah agreed, I liked it because we got more but it's nothing special.

I sat through John Wick Chapter 4 again because my wife hadn't seen it.
My thoughts haven't changed. It's not boring, but it's not exciting either.

Enter the Dragon - 8/10
To my shame it was the first time I’d seen it. The fight scenes were great but really it’s Bruce Lee’s charisma and style that carries the movies. The supporting characters like Saxon, Roper, Williams, etc. were fun too.
Obviously it’s very of it’s time, they probably wouldn’t make a movie like that today. The dubbing is a pretty poor to say the least.

The whole bulletproof suit jackets ruined the series I think, personally. Shame.
The Untouchables (1987) 10/10
Launched Kevin Costner to stardom, epic cast, Connery & De Niro.
A proper gangster film, as you'd imagine the 1930's underworld, Ness vs. Capone.
Opening titles remind me of Alien, simple but so effective, Morricone's soundtrack is sublime.

Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse - 6.5/10
Animation is absolutely brilliant, but the story was a bit lacking and one dimensional. I'm not sure why it was hyped so much to be honest.
It didnt need to be 150mins+ either, really dragged after the first half an hour for a while. Unfortunately, it seems to be mandatory for all films to be over 2hrs these days, often to their detriment.
