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
What film did you watch last night?

Aye, no Sid James or cleavage to be seen!
Shame. I miss christmasses with the appearanace of Sid Jame's ample bosom.

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.

Sonic 3. Best film of the 3 and Jim Carrey is awesome, better than I thought it would be 8/10.
Dark Game (Netflix) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5613018/
An easy one to get into, however, at times, I thought the acting was a bit weak, especially the lead detective.
But overall, an enjoyable watch that didn't out stay its welcome. The antagonist played his part very well indeed!
With less than a 5 out of 10 rating on IMDB, I'd give this higher than that. Not quite sure what, but around 5.5 — maybe a 6.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) - 7/10
Enjoyable and exciting with some funny moments amongst all the quips and good animated effects.
The plot has its heart and humour in the right place with the emotional heft of the story well told, although the explosive finale makes little sense and the ending goes on for a bit too long.
Great villain double act with the right amount of silliness, enthusiasm and entertainment from Carrey and plenty of fast paced if predictable action scenes.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) - 5/10
Impressive to see with its stunningly animated scenery and creatures but the excessive realism makes it hard to distinguish the creatures apart and as such, they lose some personality.
The plot is nothing special for an origin story and as it’s a prequel, you know how it’s going to end and the danger scenes lose all suspense. Even though it bounds along at a steady pace and frequently cuts back for a barrage of fourth wall breaking jokes it still manages to be boring at times.
Passable entertainment but since the songs replace the narrative rather than being stand-alone pieces, they aren’t as catchy or memorable.

The Batman https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877830/
Overall, very good. Pattinson did great in the role as Batman, though I found him less convincing as Bruce Wayne.
Maybe it's just harder to shake off the image of Christian Bale playing him.

I'd put Last Crusade above Temple of Doom by a point or 2.
