you watched the wrong film. If you had watched Blade Runner 2049 you would have thought it was fantastic and a beautiful scifi spectacle.

I watched a film called "Call me by your name" with my son. Apparently its been well received but i found it rather boring in parts.

5/10.

10 Cloverfield Lane 9/10

Claustrophobic Armageddon type science fiction film, John Goodman plays an excellent character.

Watched The Last Jedi yesterday. Bitterly disappointed, reminded me of how crap The Phantom Menace was and for me this was the 2nd worse in the series of SW films. 4/10

Just watched Spiderman Homecoming.

I think its one of the better Spidermans but i think it could have had more action in it.
8/10.

I completely agree. The critics think the Asian girl is fantastic and love here character and keep going on and on about her she and she was one of the biggest gripes I had with it. She is the new Jar Jar Binks as far as I am concerned and I don't see how anyone can say different.

The Last Jedi - 4/10 - Too many things just wrong with it.

I wished they just left the original trilogy alone. I did knock off 1 point for The Last Jedi for making me feel old.

Watched the new Murder on the Orient Express today, what an horrific film. They had Poirot chasing people and rugby tackling them to the ground etc. Poirot was never about physical fights, it was all mind work. They have done the same here than what Hollywood did with the Sherlock Holmes films and glorify violence and fighting and its just ruined the whole thing.

3/10.

Tomb Raider (2018): 5/10

This is a hard one because it falls smack in the middle; it isn't bad but it isn't good either. It is a good origin film and very much like Batman Begins where you can tell it is setting itself up for a trilogy. The film was very well paced and spent enough time showing us her roots before getting into the story and the tomb raider/actionness and I thought the balance was spot on. The problem is that the story and especially the acting across the board was just very weak and lacking. There were certain scenes between Lara and her father where you expect certain things to be said and it to go on for a couple of minutes but all of a sudden it is over so they can move on to the next part of the story.

I love Alicia Vikander so I am going to say this is on par with Geo Storm but one better because she is in it.

I last watched BLUE STREAK (1999) on VHS

The Copy I have is a preview of the movie.... It was recorded IN A MOVIE THEATHER and to be honest is the nicest copy of this movie I have ever seen! (Its a little dark but thats cause of how they had the camera pointed towards the screen)

I'm still curious to see this, as I love Alicia Vikander, I love the games (especially the last two) and i even enjoyed the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies (which where essentially Indiana Jones movies with Angelina Jolie replacing Harrison Ford).

The last film I saw was Red Sparrow. I'd give this a 5.5 or a 6. It's an OK film, but it doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be a James Bond style action spy movie or a Frederick Forsyth style spy thriller. As such, it doesn't do either well. It's a shame, as the performances are generally excellent. In fact only a couple of things let the performances down. First, Joel Egerton and Jennifer Lawrence have no chemistry (on the contrary, they seem to hate each other. Second, Jennifer Lawrence's Russian accent sounds like the ones Spitting Image used to use for their Russian characters. This is highlighted by the fact that the three actors who play russian characters most with her, Joely Richardson, Charlotte Rampling and Jeremy Irons all do excellent Russian accents.

Wait, what?

You watched a bootleg copy of a film from 19 years ago on bus and think it's the best version you be seen??

Are you on the wind up ?

I find J Law massively overrated personally.
