Batman Vs Superman
4/10
Pretty poor film until the last 15 minutes or so, if it wasnt for the last part of the film I would have only given it a 2/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Independence Day 2 - 7/10.

Good fun action movie.
Would have given it more but it was a bit hard to follow who was who in some of the battles.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mad Max, Fury Road 8/10

It starts fast and ends fast with mostly fast bits in the middle. Intense!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

l have some some clips and it does not look too bad compared to some other films of that genre.

---------- Post added at 19:06 ---------- Previous post was at 19:05 ----------

Is it as good as the original Taf?.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Charlize Theron acted the pants off Tom Hardy

I still prefer the original 3 (especially 2)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Independence Day: Resurgence - 7/10

Great equal with some great moments but also some silly points, Overall pretty enjoyable though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mutiny on the Buses 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ghostbusters (2016) - 8/10

Surprising but it was genuinely really funny and overall pretty good. Great audience reactions too. Whole screen laughed out loud at most of the jokes. Kevin (Hemsworth) stole the show.

Loved the original cast cameos as well. Hope there will be a sequel too.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am glad you said that because i am a huge fan of the originals and really wasnt too keen on seeing these new ones at all.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've seen the originals too many times to count and did enjoy it a lot.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Independence Day Resurgence - 4/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

l have not watched it yet but the reviews l have seen bode ill for this film as the first film was a superb film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

4/10 is generous more like 2.5/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I was going to go for 6/10. I think the basic premise was good and the special effects were good, the story just needed improving.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It was a Hollywood sequel made for greed, not need, no sequel was needed for that film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sadly Hollywood can't resist these sequels once once all those dollars signs are waved in front of their eyes.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the story was very poor for independence day and that doesn't look good for the new stargate films as it is the same writers

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sing street. 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am dying to see the new Stargate film. I won't bother me if it pants though because for me the Stargate legacy and universe has already been created with SG1 and Atlantis. If they fluff this one up I'll just pretend it doesn't exist.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed, what was I thinking? 2.5 out of 10 it is then. :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I may have been a bit harsh, but it really wasn't very good.

I last saw the movie "clash of the titans" (1981) recorded off analogue cable in the 80s on VHS :)

EXCELLENT MOVIE..... MUCH BETTER THAN THAT REMADE PIECE OF CRAP IN 2010!! (B)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes l remember the 80's version and l thought it was pretty good.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'll give Suicide Squad 2/10, it was absolutely pants. I don't understand what DC Comics' problem is, they just can't get the characters right. Marvel manage to tell an amazing story about each of the characters, even with an ensemble cast like X-men, and you come to know and love each of them for their history and who they are. DC just seem to bang out generic action movies and the characters in them just don't seem to matter and that includes the Superman films from a few years ago as well. They seem to struggle to get the depth. I hope Wonder Woman is better. I think I'll enjoy it more just because Gal Gadot is in it. I saw a trailer for it in front of Suicide Squad and it looks like Captain America: Politically Correct Female Version.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Aw well, maybe just a good popcorn movie then, DC don't seem to get it right like Marvel though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

if you want an action movie for an 8 year old then yes. Even the main story was crap like BvS and had many holes in it. I wasn't looking to be picky, I was hoping this was going to be really good but as I was watching it stupid things stuck out like a sore thumb and I just sat there thinking "that doesn't make sense".

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Look at the trailer for Justice League, Snyder appears to have figured out that the whole Dark themed directing doesn't apply to every single movie you make..:rolleyes:

Guy shouldn't be allowed anywhere near movies after Sucker Punch.

Marvel got this stuff locked down years ago. Besides Nolan's take on Batman I can't think of many 'great' DC movies before they typically hit the reset button and here we are starting all over with mediocre movies. Snyder's Man of Steel lacked the Dark tone and funnily enough I found it to be the best Superman movie to date.. Then you learn Nolan basically shadowed him all the way through it then Nolan took an even further back seat for Dawn of Justice and to no surprise, the misery and depressing theme from Snyder's portfolio is back.

Can either pay Nolan double and hope he directs or just wait ten years for a reboot.

Also despite being solid, Marvel don't get it entirely their own way, I think Age of Ultron was massively overrated. Spader started off well as Ultron with great lines and dialogue setting him up as a monstrous villain, the quotes from Pinocciho were brilliant but then he just fades away and becomes unbelievably dull for the remainder. Also losing the battle between Quicksilver MCU and Quicksilver X-men, the latter being done far better. Luckily Civil war made up for this shortfall, notably the fight scenes involving Panther and the dialogue from the new Spiderman.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That is the thing, the only DC related movie(s) I like (absolutely love) are the Dark Knight trilogy, especially Batman Begins, because it is all about the character and his story.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Defendor. Billed as a comedy drama, but only if you find a disabled person's mental state comical. 8/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1303828/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ghostbusters 7/10. Far better than the reaction to the film suggests. Not the world's best comedy but I would see the sequel based on it.

I last saw ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) on VHS :)

I rate it A+!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Doesn't matter what format the film is viewed in. Its perfection.

Suicide Squad 7/10

I actually quite enjoyed it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So its actually much better then the terrible reviews that it got Stephen?.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well not much better but I personally enjoyed it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I was like that with Sucker Punch, reviews slated it, I liked it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Its an opinion thread though. Our views on a movie and not just following the googled reviews.

Independence day Resurgence got slammed. Still enjoyed it though. Can see why it got slammed but it was hardly boring.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The trouble is with a lot of these critics is they take themselves far too seriously as we have to see these films for what they are and that is enjoyable escapism.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Little Prince 9/10. Very good and on Netflix now! No idea why it didn't get a theatrical release in Britain and America, the cast is very good too.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Now you see me 2 - 8/10

Enjoyable as the first. great twists along the way and a guessing game all the way through.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Deadpool, which I thought was quite funny :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Genius. 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Brothers Grimsby. It should be 0/10, embarassed to say its an 8/10, but have a few drinks first.....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dog day afternoon 10/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Independence Day 2.

1/10 Utter tripe.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Now you were me 2 7/10

Quite enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Hatefull 8. It takes a bit of time to get going then... BLAMMO! 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed I only saw it last week myself, slow burn start but good at the end.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jason Bourne - 7/10 - More of the usual but a good action film nonetheless.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Typical Tarantino l would say Taf.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jason Bourne, really, really bad. The worse film in the franchaise 3/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That is the trouble with sequels is the more they do the worse they get generally.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hardcore Henry - 3/10 for 43 minutes I bothered to endure.

I get it, its a new filming idea (Shot in first person with a go pro)

However that gimmick dies after 20 minutes and you get sick after that. A first person movie with an extremely confusing plot that's incredibly fast paced, what could go wrong?

Grimsby - 7/10 Surprisingly had laughs in it. Not as bad as one would expect from Cohen, up there with Borat this one.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Deepwater Horizon on a Times preview, great film, good set, realistic effects and VERY tense!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Keanu - very funny.

6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Each to their own I guess. I thought it was quite good. 7/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Shallows - 7/10

Pretty good film but it's no "Jaws"

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dads Army 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"The Man Who Would be King" which was on BBC4 as part of the Keith Richards lost weekend

One of my favourite movies of all time and a deserved must watch: 10/10

You can pick out a few cues that were borrowed by the Life of Brian a few years later ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Up the Chastity Belt. 11/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Upping X-men: Apocalypse to 6/10 now.

Gave it a re-watch and it still has epic scenes, but seriously, Magneto's story is just absurd though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched a couple of the Carry on films in the last week. Dated but still funny, and of course completely politically incorrect. Modern films can't get away with what they did.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes they certainly are still enjoyable as one has to take them for what they were in those days.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Cinema Paradiso, again but this time with subtitles. Absolutely wonderful. 10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Always like Carry on follow that camel and the joke about the prophet "Mustapha leak"

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Indeed.:D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Or Ceasar in Carry on Cleo 'Infamy ! Infamy ! They've all got it in for me !'

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Bad Moms - 7/10

Went with my wife to the cinema to see it last night. Pretty funny. Worth a watch if you enjoy a decent comedy.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cell, based on Stephen Kings novel of the same name.
The book is excellent, the movie is a bag of manure. Nuff said, don't waste your money.
I really don't understand how someone of Kings writing ability would allow his work to be butchered, it's not like he needs the money.
The actors could not have read the book, the script writers must have briefly glanced at the book, the director was drunk whilst it was edited by a 2-year-old.
This was the worse film based on a novel I have ever watched.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The script was 7 years old when finally put to use. The movie was in development hell and was subject to a quick hashjob attempt to make. King himself wrote the script and what followed.

He didn't just allow it, he was part of it. Rich people never have enough money. This happens to good ideas all the time. Had high hopes for new Jack Ryan films (Tom Clancy) only to see a likeable actor in Chris Pine given a DOA movie.

Anyway, Jack Reacher 7/10. Not sure why I gave this a miss for so long. A slave to Scientology or not, Cruise knows how to stick a good movie.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cafe Society.

9/10 The most cinematically beautiful film I've watched in a long time.

I last watched the movie CONVERGENCE (Premonition) - 1999 on VHS :)

I think it was a workprint copy as there was a counter @ the top of the screen.....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Magnificent Seven - 8/10.

Apparently this is just over 2 hours 10 minutes, but it didnt seem that long, which is good.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That Sugar Film.

10/10 Thank GOD I went low carb three years ago.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek: Beyond 8/10

I trashed the trailer and Justin Lin as did many, given his past films were relatively simple cash cows I expected him to ignore the giant fanbase of Star Trek and produce some Fast and Furious space race crap, something which became a popular quote in the build up. So anything less than awful would have been a surprise. It was brilliant. Judge/Book/Cover is very relevant here and I eat the humble pie, Lin did the opposite of initial expectations and ended up nailing it. Bigger roles in the film for other crew members made it even better. Great to see Anton in his final film get plenty of screen time, RIP.

Roll on number four.

Thread where I originally trashed it: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...php?t=33701974

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just been to see Deep Water Horizon, very very good and puts a human face on the whole thing. I can remember watching the news intensely as it all happened and at the time was only concerned with the environmental impact and consequences and looked at the rig and people in general as BP and the greed for $$$$. This shows the other side of it and what everyone went through and is well worth a watch purely as a disaster movie if nothing else.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ws it as good as the original?.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I, Daniel Blake ..... brilliant film. A few government ministers should watch though they would deny any of it could be true. Most of the rest of us know different.

I last saw the movie SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) on VHS :)

10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Bad Moms.

6/10. Predictable but it passed the time.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

New Ghostbusters
1/10
biggest pile of poop i've seen all year.

Wife & daughter agreed, it was dire.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Martian - 9/10

Second viewing. This and Interstellar are brilliant.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

it was absolutely superb and the biggest surprise for me last year as far as films go. It had a bit of everything you could want in a film (effects, action, humour etc) but the thing which gave it the edge for me was that the balance they struck with science. I was able to enjoy and be engrossed in the film while thinking about the science behind it all as I was watching it and thinking "would that really be possible".

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek Beyond
8/10 Soooo much better than the last effort.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am the complete opposite. Into Darkness blew me away.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek Beyond 3/10

Just about the worst Star Trek movie I can recall :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Lights out 9/10 great little horror for Halloween.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought it was the best of the recent Trek movies.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Everyone will have their own. A lot of die hard fans I speak to despite the whole new movie franchise. I've never watched an episode of Star Trek in my life...

Yet I love these movies and now can't wait for the series :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jackie Brown, for the umpteenth time.

10/10, the best QT of the lot.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Really ?

Maybe you havent seen Nemesis then, that was awful.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I was pretty sure I had seen all the Star Trek movies but I don't recall Nemeses as being good or bad so maybe it's one I missed, although the name does ring a bell faintly.

In other news: Check out

Hell or High Water 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Happy Bday, I went to see it last Thursday on my bday as well :) I agree that it is an excellent. Some might say it is long and drawn out but I for me I class it is a proper scifi film which makes you think instead of you just sitting there waiting for the big space explosions.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Doctor Strange 9/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

l have seen clips of this and l have to say it looks pretty good.
