Carry-On - was an easy watch when nearly comatose on the sofa last night, set on Christmas Eve so topical! 3/5

For a minute there I was wondering which of the carry on films you meant and then I realised that there's a film called carry on. lol

I've just seen the new Wallace & Gromit on BBC 1.

I'm sure there is some CGI in this day and age, but it still looked visually faithful to its stop motion. It had some James Bond themes such as the bad guy stroking a fluffy white pet while sat in his Mastermind-style chair and the chases were Bond-esque. Still all very innocent though.

6.5/10

I was underwhelmed, it was too long and not so tightly plotted as the wrong trousers, a grand day out etc.

5/10

I don't think anything they do will be the same without peter sallis voicing wallace.

Good point about the length. It did seem a lot longer than what I remembered from the predecessors.

Crikey. The others already feel like a literal eternity for me at this point.

I'm not sure it was just the plotting at fault with the new Wallace + Gromit.
The gnomes themselves just didn't quite fit the vibes of the previous installments, and the whole world felt just 'off' somehow. Some of this was I think the modernisation of stuff.....

Eminently watchable, but nowhere near the class of the predecesors.

Watched Violent Night last night, thought it was really good - 8.5/10

Sonic 3. Best film of the 3 and Jim Carrey is awesome, better than I thought it would be 8/10.

Mufassa - The Lion King

Solid 8/10

good prequel/sequel only letdown was music isn't as strong as the original
