Finally got around to watching The Eternals.
Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. What have I just watched. You know a film is bad when you spend half the film distracted by your phone rather than engrossed in the story (of which it had none)
A solid well earned 3/10 from me, it had good CGI and Gemma Chan is pretty tasty.
I hope they do a directors cut where they sort the order out to make it watchable - montage of “the past” stuff at the start and then present day for the rest of the film.
I did like the Celestials and Gemma Chan though.
Ooo I went and found my original review from when the first Hobbit came out…
that's what happens when you have a small book, then a film company wants to cash in a spread it out over 3 feature-length films. Just not enough material.I loved all the LOTR movies but found The Hobbit movies a bit boring somehow.
Like the Snyder cut of Justice League, turned a "meh"" film into something that was actually good and despite being over 4 hours long that time flew by because I was genuinely engrossed in the film and its story.
Richard Attenborough's Magic (1978) - 8/10
Seen it already but Vivarium is on tonight so re-watching.
Creepy and thought provoking but i like it. Avoid spoilers before watching.
