Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Avengers: Endgame: 11/10
I know my score sounds ridiculous but those of you who have seen the film will understand. I could write reams about it but this is one of the few occasions where I think less is more; it truly is the perfect film and I am not saying it just because it is Marvel. Although it is a continuation from Infinity War it is very much a film in itself and has a different feel and tone to it. It has a beginning, middle and end and achieves what no other film I have ever seen manages to achieve. Marvel films have always been about the story and characters and what they do in this film just blows you away. I am tempted to try and explain why and express some emotions in spoiler tags but I honestly don't want to remotely hint as to what happens and want you all to experience it for yourself. It has been so cleverly done with oodles of TLC. Absolutely amazing film and it is a travesty if you don't go and see it at the cinema. P.s: The one thing I will say is that there are no post-credit scenes at the end of this film so you don't need to worry about sitting around for 10 mins looking at the names of the thousands of guys who did the visual effects :) |

Endgame - 8.5/10 (no spoilers).
Too many plot holes and parts that were just a bit too stupid. Saw it on Imax 3D which was excellent but even though the CGI was excellent the CGI often made the characters look weird and miniaturized which spoiled it a bit. Well worth watching but Infinity wars was better. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum: 8/10
These films just get better and better. Fantastic action scenes, new creative ways on how to kill and the world expands with many new characters and new locations. Really really enjoyable and they are obviously planning for a fourth. If you enjoyed 1 and 2 this is a must see. |
I last saw FIRST BLOOD 2 (1985) on VHS :)
Its OK..... i like the first one much better!! |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Aladdin (2019): 7/10
A lot better than I was expecting it to be in every regard. Story wise it is pretty much a complete copy of the screenplay of the animated version with a few minor additions, so you know what is coming every step of the way. The music and songs were excellent and they cast Aladdin and Jasmine perfectly, they literally couldn't have been any better. The only disappointment with the film was Will Smith; his singing was better than I was expecting however it still sounded flat in places and lacked the bravado of Robin Williams. It isn't about trying to copy Robin Williams, I think they just could have done better than Will Smith. He is Aladdin's genie to Beauty and the Beast's Belle. If it wasn't for him I would have given it 8/10. This is a must see for any fan. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
X-men: Dark Phoenix: 6/10
This is a hard one because despite many peoples feelings over previous x-men films including the original trilogy, I have loved all of them up and till now and thoroughly enjoyed them. This one felt like something was missing. I got the impression that they felt like it was the fourth film in the franchise so they didn't need to spend any time on the characters and just focus on the action and special effects. It left the film feeling very hollow. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
X-Men Last Stand and Apocalypse were the ones I disliked the most.
However from seeing trailers this one's feels like s bad TV movie. Don't know what it is but just doesn't sit right. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
The reviews are absolutely slating it as well.
|
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
It's a shame because as I have said many a time before with other bad films, I don't understand how with all the people involved somebody at the script read through stage doesn't say "this isn't good enough and we need to build the story more and do build on the characters". I know some directors like to story board everything first as well and that is another opportunity for it to come out. It just think it is a damn shame that an entire xmen film has been wasted. I need a job as a film purifier or something (and sometimes tv) so I can catch this stuff early on and get them to fix it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Toy Story 4: 8/10
Fantastic animation as you would expect from Pixar and a lovely story. The one niggle I have with it is that it wasn't anywhere as humorous as the previous instalments in the franchise and I put it down to the fact that they have had to introduce some new characters and move away from the core group in order to do something new and different. Brightburn: 4/10 Don't watch this unless you like your horror films. This is pure horror and only very loosely scifi/superman related. It suffers from a double whammy of weak story because it isn't an official DC film so they can't even start to give some depth to the Superman story arc and secondly as it is a pure horror it is all about the fear factor and nothing else. I spent the entire film waiting for the inevitable demise of the 6 or 7 people you are introduced to and wondering what colourful way they will be despatched. I shall finish as I started and say this isn't worth watching at all unless you are into your horror films. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Toy Story 4 - 9/10.
I thought it was great. I also thought it was pretty funny but it's been a while since I saw previous instalments so I don't know if it's as funny. The 'Plush Rush' stuff was amazing though. Rocketman 8/10 I thought this was unexpectedly quite good. More cohesive than Bohemian Rhapsody and also with a better use of the music. I thought Taron Egerton was better as Elton John that Rami Malek was as Freddie Mercury, with the latter it always seemed like someone doing a good impression of Mercury but with Egerton I sort of forgot it's a performance. |

I also agree about Rocketman. I went to see it out of curiosity. Not really expecting to like it much (not a massive fan of Musicals in film, they tend to feel like the music is forced into the story). It was a film I probably wouldn't have bothered with had I not had an Unlimited card and had to pay for the ticket. I enjoyed it. Yes, it was unashamedly a musical, but even the way that was done work. Yes it had the big dance numbers, but they worked well. I like the way it didn't seem to pull any punches regarding either Elton's sexuality or substance abuse. I love Bohemian Rhapsody, but I felt that was more a celebration of the music, and that the life story of Freddie was glossed over a little bit. Particularly the substance abuse (which was barely mentioned). Remember, Kenny Everett described Freddie Mercury as a man who burned the candle at both ends, and in the middle. You don't get to party to the extent without taking a ton of (probably illegal) drugs. ---------- Post added at 10:09 ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 ---------- Quote:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Spiderman: Far From Home: 8/10
Well, I must say I was very curious about the sort of tone the first post-Endgame film was going to strike and from the trailers I got the impression that they were going to try and start with a clean slate with a generic bad guys and move on. All I am going to say is appearances can be deceiving :) There are two sides to this film and both are executed with near perfection. On the one side given the special relationship Peter had with Tony Stark they are very mindful of recent events and the film acknowledges that in many natural and beautiful ways without throwing it in your face. It feels very much a continuation of the MCU like Civil War rather than a standalone film. On the other side they are very keen to maintain the tone of the first film and make this very grounded and a teen coming of age story and despite the impression you get from the trailers, this is all about Peter growing up and the relationships he has with the people around him. I don't want to say anymore with fear for spoiling it for everyone but not only did I like it, I loved the plot twists and as I have said many a time before, I love Marvel because of how much they focus on the characters and this exemplifies it. There are two post-credit scenes, one a few mins after the initial credits and one right at the end. I cannot emphasise enough how important it is that you watch both, especially the one at the end. The first one is Spidey-centric and influences the next Spider film, the second one is key to the larger MCU going forward. Go and see it at the cinema, I promise you'll enjoy it. |

Very different in some respects to what I was expected and very much what I was expecting in some other respects. The film is a lot slower than some of Tarantino's other films and you sort of have to just go with it to enjoy it. If you do then it's a fun film. Great cast who do well in though. Spoiler:

Ad Astra: 1/10
It was very painful to sit through; dull and boring. There are things in it that shouldn't happen and did and things that did happen that shouldn't. Plot holes galore and at points I felt like when they got to the end of the film they said "shit, we need an extra 10 minutes to make up the runtime, lets go back and put this stupid scene in". Save yourself two hours and avoid it like the plague. |

Midway (2019): 7.5/10
A very very good film. I got instantly mardy at the start because it starts with Pearl Habour (which obviously kicked off the war for the Americans and precipitated Midway) which threw me off a bit but I quickly understood where it was going. It is a fantastic war film and if you love stuff like Black Hawk Down and American Sniper you'll love this. It has the perfect balance of what was happening behind the scenes on the intelligence front and the enormous air battles out at sea. This is well worth you spending your money on and going to see at the cinema this weekend. Don't forget your popcorn :) |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Frozen II: 8/10
Technically it was fantastic, the animation and detail was superb as you would expect and many aspects of it were photo realistic. A great story embodying many morals and values and teaching you how to be a good person. Ironically the best bits and most humorous for me were the Olaf moments. He comes out with a lot of random trivia and quotes about things which sounds like nonsense but they are all true. Charlies Angels (2019): 5/10 It's not bad but it is also not good. The key thing missing is the charm and charisma of the angels which was so apparent in the previous instalments. Even the action scenes were better in the previous films. The only thing this one had going for it was the hotness which they got bang on. I don't like blondes and I don't like short hair and I have never found Kristen Stewart attractive but she had me from the outset on this one. |

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: 5.5/10
It is very much as mixed bag. I am sure the majority of people will think it is fantastic and the production quality was certainly top notch. The problem for me is that it was very hit and miss. It is definitely the best out of the three films but that isn't saying much. There are moments when they get is just right and it feels like true Star Wars and the rest of the time it just feels like a generic film which somebody has bought a license for so they can slap Star Wars on the front of it. My feelings towards this trilogy can be described as how many people felt about the last season of GoT. I would gladly see it erased from existence and remade. In comparison to eps 1-6, I have come away from this feeling like I haven't been moved by any of the films, I couldn't care less about any of the new characters and tbh it hasn't felt like true Star Wars and a continuation of the story. I feel like the whole thing has been a process of regurgitating scenarios and scenes from the original trilogy and just bringing it up to date a bit, and you will see it in this film as well. As excited as people have been about the inclusion of the older actors/characters it could have been handled better. Again, it feels like a marketing plot more than anything else and in this film Lando was just wasted. He was there to look pretty and his character lacked the gravitas and presence that it did in the original trilogy. There are a couple of really stupid bits in it which annoyed me and made no sense at all and were there for the sake of progressing the story and you expect better from franchises such as this where everything hangs in the balance and every moment should count. I am curious to see if anyone else picks up on them. The one good thing I will say about it is that you can see JJ has made a concerted effort to address what pissed everyone off about TLJ. Infuriating Rose is hardly in it and Luke is more himself. I would say it is worth watching at the cinema in terms of the visual scifi spectacle but don't expect to come away from it having been wowed and satisfied by the conclusion of a story/trilogy. |
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
They should have given one director and writer the full trilogy rather than splitting them up. Personally I thought TLJ was the film that most tried to do something different and ambitious whereas TFA was full of fan service and feeding into a stand and formula. Rian Johnson has been given another Star Wars trliogy outside of the Skywalker arc so that’ll be interesting to see.
I haven’t seen the new one yet but everything I’ve heard so far suggests JJ Abrams has overreacted to the reception of the last film and tried to pivot back and load it full of fan pleasing elements to detriment of the overall film. |

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
I think all the old James Bond films are bad. Bad stunt and action scenes and terrible sound effects which have been clearly added on afterwards. The Pierce Brosnan films are too camp, the only good ones (and more realistic in keeping with the theme of the franchise) are the Daniel Craig films.
|
Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Craig is good and as modern movies go most of them are good apart from Quantum. That was pretty poor.
However I love the old Bond films, Connery was probably the best Bond and yes by the time it got to Moore they were utterly camp but in an endearing way. They are a good British institution. Many films added sounds after filming though, even now it's done a lot. Some of the action scenes worked well at the time but as the series went on, they suffered a lot from poor production and lowered budgets IMO. From Russia with Love and On her Majesties Secret Service are still two of my favourite films. Golden Eye was not bad too as it was the first I got to experience in the cinema. 007 will always appeal to people. |

TBH, a fairly standard disaster movie about a bunch of generic scientist and engineer type characters trying to escape from an underwater base when an unnamed disaster destroys a large chunk of it. Think "The Abyss" without the interesting characters and good actors, and you've pretty much got it. 5/10. |
