What film did you watch last night?

[Mr Jack]

The Green Knight

A very strange take on the medieval Arthurian poem which is deeply unfaithful to the themes and story of the original. Slow, weird, arty, under-explained, and mostly very beautiful, I suspect it's a very marmite movie but I very much enjoyed it even if I don't really know why they diverged so far from the original story.

Not everyone's cup of tea 8/10

Choose or die,

taken scarier and more entertaining dumps.

Nightbooks 2/10

A childrens horror

There is a cool bit where Lost Boys music starts playing but overall its bad

I watched this too. Thankfully it was only a short film. Gotta admit tho the glass scene kinda made me sick lol

 

[Tombstone]

First time you've watched it?

It's amazing to think it's now 54 years old.

2001 is one of those films that amaze me for their age. Metropolis is another, 1927, its almost 100 years old but it was WAY ahead of its time.

Mad Max was just painful to watch. Wasn't rating it on the stunts, but it bored me ****less and had such horrendous acting. That's why it gets a 2/10 from me. You obviously like it a lot more, which is fine, but I thought it was **** - in fact all four films are pretty rubbish.

I wouldn't normally say this but the art direction of the movie is amazing!

Batman Ninja (2018) - 5/10

A veritable cast of heroes and villains who each had their own visual style, but most were barely used, except for the Joker and Harley Quinn, who were very entertaining in every scene.

The animation was superb with a fantastic blend of art styles and lots of fast paced over the top action, but the pacing of the story could have been better.

The story was ok, but it wasn’t at all what I wanted or expected. The escalation of conflict was extremely ridiculous right from the early stages, but it was constantly surprising and engaging enough.

No time to Die .

Very surprised to see this so soon on Mason Prime . A solid Bond film - 8/10.

So with a lot of big flicks now going to Disney and Amazon is there any point in my Sky Movies subscription anymore ?

No time to die - 7.5/10 far better than I was expecting, although the woke levels were a little cringe and tacked on at times.

A fleeting reference to Q having a man over and....what else?

It does amaze me how upset people get over such trivial things. I think the term ********* is censored here but these people who cry woke at things truest are the real **********.

Its absolutely pathetic. You go into a new film thread with a trailer and someone will always pick at something.

Moonfall, the dumbest script writing yet it was mildly entertaining despite all the stupid

Dune (2021). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/

I really enjoyed it, loved the dragonfly-like flying machines. And Rebecca Ferguson is as lovely as ever.

 

[Syore]

Moonfall. The plot was meh but the cgi was not bad. It felt like i was watching a movie that was made just for making money rather than making it good.

 

[Subzero85]

edge of tomorrow with tom cruise and emily blunt. Went in blind and thought it was fantastic, sci fi with some fun moments, will definetely watch again

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Casino Royale - 9/10

Forgot how good this film was. Working my way through the Craig Bonds again.

Saw: The Final Chapter. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477076/

As is often the case, bits of this seemed familiar when viewing early on, but I'm pleased to say that quite a bit of it wasn't lodged in the back of my memory,
so it was like watching it for the first time. As expected with the multitude of follow-ups in a series like this, the story is convoluted and at times
pretty far fetched, though the odd detail here and there was, IMO, fairly well written. An enjoyable movie for one-off or limited repeated viewings.

Spoiler

I'm struggling to recall what became of Eleanor at the end?

Doctor Sleep (2019) 7/10

The sequel to Stephen King's classic 'The Shining' from 1980, one of the best horror films ever.

Director seemingly threw in a few references of the original film which is disjointed and seemed pointless, as though to remind the viewer tis film is part of the 'Shining'.

The film on its own has some good sequences without the need to drag or replicate the classic scenes from the original.

It's pretty good and I did enjoy, albeit at 3 hours, stretched out - a film that despite the characters bears no semblance to the original.

No Time To Die

Awful. Not emotionally resonant when it tried to be and not funny when it tried to do that either.

A strange film with a totally nonsensical plot, awkward pacing and tone and Daniel Craig seemingly phoning it in.

I'll give it some points as a few of the action scenes were ok.

4/10

Its absolutely pathetic. You go into a new film thread with a trailer and someone will always pick at something.

And normally only after they have watched a 30 minute video of somebody else picking the trailer apart...
