Lavender Hill Mob (1951). 9/10
Talking Pictures have all the best films.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mission Impossible Fallout: 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

2001 : A Space Odyssey (nuff said really, one of the all time classics - OK 9/10 - not perfect)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Airplane again. The part where Leslie Neilson walks into the cockpit and the stewardess is blowing up the inflatable pilot and it looks suspicious really makes me laugh.

One of the best spoof films I've seen.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Surely you can't be serious

Don't call me Shirley

I guess this is a bad time to have stopped sniffing glue

The film is full of epic moments haha

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre 8:10
Guy Ritchie directs Loads of Stars loved it

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

No one seems to have mentioned this yet.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 7/10

A definite improvement on recent Marvel Films.

I last saw REAL GENIUIS (1985) on VHS :)

10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022). 6/10 Some interesting scenes (!) , but the actual story is a bit dull. DH Lawrence was the Sunday Sport of his day.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Elvis , first one I have bothered with in years ,unless you count ones on Christmas 24 !!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So how was it? Might help if you actually rate it as the thread suggests...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Would not recommend any film to anyone as I am not a film buff by any stretch of the imagination. If you like fifties black music , ie little Richard . I would say give it a go . Really do not know much of the story of Elvis life, but if correct it's interesting. I just love the music . :blush:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves - 7.5/10.

Way better than I expected, funny in places, exciting in places, plenty of action and entertainment.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Robots 6/10 Shailene Woodley and Jack Whitehall. Rom Com which is tbh my fave genre so enjoyed it

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Re watched Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan last night.

It has to be a solid 7 out of 10 from me.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

John Wick 4 - 8/10.

Like the previous John Wick Films, only much more mayhem and violence.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:tu: sounds ideal.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sisu 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The 355. 2/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It ain't spoof in Cathay Pacific

SCANDAL THREATENS TO BLOW GLOBAL CATHAY ‘MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL’ AD CAMPAIGN

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched The Flash and thoroughly enjoyed it. Enough Easter Eggs and call backs to satisfy any nerd.

The ending especially.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Totally agree - loved the very meta multiverse segment near the end.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jackie Brown 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Oppenheimer - 10/10 :shocked:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mission Impossible 7 - 7/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Flash 6/10 I couldn't deal with the crap Ezra Miller brought to it with his troubles off screen so never liked the character.

The best scenes for me were Michael Keaton as Batman, that was awesome and the only reason I stuck with it until the end.

I just watched THE EDGE (1997)

It was ok.........

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Meg 8/10.

My plan was to watch Meg 2 now but I couldn't get a good version using BeeTV so I'll have to wait, then decided to watch John Wick 4 until I realised it was nearly 3hrs long so would rather start that earlier in the evening.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rebel Moon. After reading the reviews I was apprehensive to watch as I wanted it to be a good film. It was better than good. 8.5/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rebel Moon 6/10, Ok, but not as good as I had hoped from the trailer.

Aquaman 2 (Lost Kingdom) 6/10, DC just dont seem to make superhero films as well as some others.
This was ok I guess, plenty of action in places, loads of SFX, but somehow it still just did not "wow" me.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rebel Moon 4/10

It was like a first year film student who had seen Seven Samurai, Star Wars, Battle Beyond the Stars, and Dune had been given an unlimited SFX budget, but no money for script writers, and then they ignored any advice on how to improve the clunky dialogue.

Some good battle scenes.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We had a few hours to spare at the Premier Inn during our 9 day stay so watched Hondo, 8/10 and Midway 9/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Apparently they have cut it badly and there will be a directors cut with 30 minutes extra which is meant to improve the film

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Release the Snyder cut lol

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It did apparently start life as a Star Wars project but Disney rejected Synders script and he then reworked it to become this.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
 

Tripe, and I can watch and sometimes very much enjoy tripe.

But this was just terrible, made the first Aquaman look like Citizen Kane.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Carry on Again Doctor (1969). 6/10. Maybe just me, but think it's just a tad sexist ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Different times.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Oppenheimer 9/10

Phenomenal film and made even better by Dolby Vision & Atmos

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Over an hour too long.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Napoleon (2023) 5/10

Didn't know Napoleon had an American accent, interesting that.
'Carry on Don't Lose Your Head' was more historically accurate.

I last watched BIG (1988) on VHS :)

8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Road House the new one and it really was not that bad 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Godzilla x Kong, 7.5/10

Plenty of action, if you like the current Godzilla/Kong movies (and TV) then you'll like this.

I last saw MELTDOWN (2000/2001) onn VHS....

-5/10

What a piece of garbage..... It wasnt english,it was dubbed with english lyrics.......

Such a shame after that excellent 2000 movie ROMEO MUST DIE from Jet LI!!

Also the 2002 movie he did THE ONE is stupid....That one is english but its just dumb!!

I would say Jet LIs best movie is ROMEO MUST DIE!! (9/10)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The One is silly but it's also a lot of fun. Romeo must die is also brilliant.

Once upon a time in China(1991), Cradle 2 the Grave(2003) and Kiss of the Dragon(2001) are also very good Jet Li films.

By lyrics do you mean subtitles? Or dubbed English language voices?

Ya dubbed eng language voices.......

Thanx Stevie ill look for those!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Civil War
(2024)

Quality Alex garland piece on photo journalists in a civil war situation in the USA.

A must in IMAX... Picture and sound were top notch.

Great performances from all the cast

5/5

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Vortex. This is an especially powerful and haunting film. 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Civil War 6/10.

After a promising start it stalled for a while, then got going again.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hidden..., a few years old now.

I rented it on Prime after being tipped about it. I'd never heard of it.

Family survive in Fall out shelter after deadly virus outbreak. That's all I'm going to say.

Stick with it. It's worth it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

In recent weeks have seen “IF”, Despicable Me 4 & Inside Out 2 (There’s a theme there).

All very decent.

IF’s mission is to make you cry.

DM4 - more minions and a great ensemble ending.

IO2 - great fun if you have a pubescent teen you can rip the piss out of during or after you’ve watched it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Despicable Me 4 the other week, great fun, 8/10.

Watched Deadpool & Wolverine last weekend, also great fun, 8.5/10.

Hey Paul,thank you for your entry mate!

I last saw GETTING EVEN WITH DAD (1994) on VHS :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Deadpool and Wolverine last week 9/10 just fantastic

Purple Rain in 4K. 7/10 great movie even if the acting isn't great and oh my that soundtrack. Bliss

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Deadpool and Wolverine (IMAX). An good 8 but I missed out on a lot of the dialogue. Will watch it again at home with subs, and no doubt it'll be a lot better still.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Margin Call 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alien: Romulus 8/10.
If you like the original films, you'll like this.

Thank you Paul for your entry :)

I last saw THE KARATE KID (1984) on VHS..

I dont really like fighting movies...... There is too much bloody fighting in the world........

I give it a 5/10 rating......

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's not really a 'fighting' movie. There is a really important and moral story there, that and it's just an all out classic.

Driven - 6/10

Movie about John Delorean and his downfall.

Ya I suppose your right Stevie!!

It Is indeed (Early 80s)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nearest and Dearest (1972). 6/10. A nailbiter about a pickle factory in Colne fighting for survival.... They certainly don't make them like this anylonger :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

None of it was filmed "oop North" - the location shots were Southend-on-Sea and Slough… ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You've spoilt that for me Hugh..

Tbf any filmmakers in Colne in 1972, would have probably been burnt as likely witches, or yorkshiremen... ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Red One….decent enough.

Sonic 3…..OK….odd laugh here and there…….Sonic 4 guaranteed.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A Complete Unknown - 7/10

Enjoyable, very good music, not a hagiography - it shows Dylan’s early career, and isn’t afraid to point his faults.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Captain America: Brave New World - 5/10.

Average at best, bits of good action in places. A couple of nice cameos.
It seemed disjointed and predictable in places and just unrealistic(!) in parts (Japans reaction at sea, if you've seen it).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched "Cast a Giant Shadow" about the founding of the state of Israel. It's on Prime and worth two hours.

I just watched Explorers (1985) on VHS :)

7/10 I guess.....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched a Christian film, Play the Flute (on Prime). A fair film with a good message but more relevant to Christians than generally.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Grosse Point Blanke - 8/10

Rewatched this tonight on ITVX - forgotten how much fun it was, and the outstanding soundtrack.

Next - High Fidelity (John Cusack made some very enjoyable films - I’ll be watching Say Anything and Con Air after that).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Civil War - 8/10

A very intense film - will definitely be going to see Warfare when it comes out.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Superman - 7.5/10

Surprising good version IMO, action, and a bit of comedy as well.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Is there a good quality stream available yet somewhere, if so I'll find it?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'd say there are mid to poor ones so far, definitely better to experience in the cinema on big screen and better quality.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I don't go to the cinema anymore, far too expensive as well as the travelling and parking charges where I live.

Personally love to watch on my decent home TV so I'll try and hold out until a great version becomes available, probably in August or September.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Would public transport be cheaper? I wouldn't be without my unlimited card anymore. 2 visits a month and its already more than paid for itself.

I couldn't imagine not going to the cinema.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I live in a village 9 miles from Cambridge so public road transport is very limited, the park and ride with guided bus is an option but it's still an incredible hassle and I've never used it. I also don't have anything like an unlimited pass option and the Vue cinema I would have used has just closed down. There is the 'Everyman' cinema thats not long opened and 'Light Cinema' which used to be Cineworld but the distance/cost and travel times is always going to be a pain, if I lived inside Cambridge it maybe different but as I said I like to watch at home.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

There are no parking charges at the Odeon I use, its free.
Obviously there is the fuel cost to drive there and back (about 25 miles in total, so roughly £3).

My limitless card works out at around £9 per film, plus the cost of some goodies to eat.
Not sure what you class as expensive but about £15 to watch on a huge screen, with super (usually atmos) sound is well worth it to me.

As to the film in question, its only came out this week, its expected on HBO Max at around the end of September.

.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If I was able to go to the Cinema during the day on a weekend parking charges are something like £13.80 upto 3hrs and alot more after that, in the evening £1.50 an hour which is reasonable. Everyman cinema cost is £16.60 and light Cinema i can't find a price but likely atleast £11.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Huntingdon is free to park iirc or at least it was...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That would be a good option if I did go to the Cinema because I work in Huntington.

I last watched THE ISLAND (1980) on VHS :)

Much better than the 2005 remake!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Better Man the Robbie Williams as a monkey movie. Really enjoyed it tbh 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I was surprised how good it ended up. Really showed Robbie dealing with his inner demons etc well.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched that on Prime last weekend I enjoyed it 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Naked Gun, first time going to the Cinema in several years - 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Superman 2025: 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've just seen it. Wow what an insult to the original. I do like a lot of Gunn's stuff but this was just bad on every level. Unless you're 12 years old or under maybe it might have some appeal.

I am certain that this one will never ever be rewatched that's for sure.

As for a score, then it'll have to be a total zero. Diabolical is all I can say.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I did struggle with it and was expecting something a bit more serious, but I got suspicious in the first few minutes when superdog came on the scene, I wasn't happy giving it a 7 but felt it was only a me problem that thought it was iffy after looking at the IMDB score.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It was fine, its supposed to be entertainment, and was.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning 9/10
