fraid to say Aquaman did nothing for me....as soon as I saw sharks with frikkin laser beams on them I knew it was doomed
Compared to Aquaman, Man of Steel is a straight masterpiece. Compared to Justice League, BvS and most of the rest it's probably around on par. Wonder Woman started off okay but almost everything after they leave the island is all over the place and not very good. I'd still put it a good way ahead of Aquaman.
Has JW3 just been released somewhere?
Death of Stalin - 7/10 I had the impression this was a cringe comedy film (Cringe comedy isn't my thing). Fortunately it isn't and is actually rather good and highly amusing in places. Good performances all round.
Man in Steel has a lot going for it and for me is head and shoulders above everything else they've done, by an absolutely insane margin as well.
MoS, while Zod/Superman were utterly stupid to not have a, I'll give you the codex freely, just go colonise a different planet, Zod was cast brilliantly and acted superbly, as was Superman and almost everyone in the film. It had a real tonal feel throughout that felt consistent, the sound track was pretty amazing, it looked great. It's comedy moments were there but didn't feel out of place or out of tone or the moment and worked.
In Aquaman the tone isn't consistent, one moment it's trying to be dark and sinister, the next it's trying to be a rom com(the arriving in the Italian village moments were all cringeworthy crap). It missed the target on all these attempted tones, it wasn't actually funny when they tried to make it funny, it wasn't actually serious/sinister when they tried to be because Momoa can't really act, dark, brooding and not speaking he does well... trying to give a speech where he's got this kind jokey tone/cadence to his speech doesn't work.
Aquaman was poorly cast, poorly acted, tone was all over the place, dialogue was garbage and never sucked me in at all.

This thread is the easiest way to find out when something is available on certain sites. I doubt every poster in the last few pages who just watched Endgame went to the cinema and the start of their postings corresponded to the day with when it got leaked online.
The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) 6.5/10
I couldn't figure out why the bad guys didn't notice a hostages laptop on the floor of the train streaming the event???
oh an Grosse Point Blank...just because...I have have seen it many many times
but its always worth watching again, one of my favourite films (it would be hard to seperate this or the fifth element for sheer joyful entertainment)
great story, great cast and wonderful soundtrack...and who doesnt love the thought of a hitmans union
if you are a young film fan who hasnt seen it...seek it out and bask in the nostalgia of the glorious soundtrack and the daftest shootout in a house
Must rewatch this. At the time, I thought the fight scene in the school was one of the best ever put to film!
it probably is...but its not really an action film so it seems unfair to judge....even more so with the comical shootout...seeing Dan akroyd shoot two guns seems so wrong.
