It is two hours of of Gosling staring gormlessly into a camera with shit music in the background. Absolute dog shit film. Braveheart - I watched it for the first time ever about 3 years ago and hated it. Mel Gibson's Scottish accent is terrible too Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - I didn't hate this film but I don't get why it is so highly rated There are so many films that I can't think of right now that people really rate but I can't stand, each to their own I suppose I loved Drive, brilliant soundtrack and Gosling’s deadpan was all part of the atmosphere. Eternal Sunshine I quite liked, but agree. Think it’s one of those films that seems very clever and profound when you’re a teenager or young adult, but I think it’s just a decent-ish indie film with some great acting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I feel Tarantino is overrated. He has a sizeable group of fans who think everything he makes is the coolest thing ever. Granted there are some legendary/cool scenes in some of his films, but they are not masterpieces, not even Pulp fiction (the Uma Thurman segment was boring). Completely agree on all of what you have said. I really like the top two films but the rest I don’t rate to be honest and some I think are shit…..apart from Death Proof which I haven’t seen either. Hateful Eight I wasn’t a fan of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with whoever said La La Land was garbage. I was really looking forward to it and was dumbfounded that it had been getting such raves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I haven't seen OUATIH but if it's even nearly as bad as Death Proof I'll give it a miss. It didn't look like my thing but The Shape of Water dominated the Oscars a few years ago so on that basis alone I gave it a shot. I shouldn't have bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's miles miles better. It's basically a love letter to 1960's LA (I think he even described it as that himself) but with a huge payoff. Many of the usual Tarantino tropes are present too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I quite liked Death Proof, but totally get why it wouldn't be rated. Pacing and tone are all over the shop, though I always took that as a deliberate part of the homage to the exploitation genre. Drive and How Abe Sapien Got His Groove Back The Shape Of Water are both superb though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighter jets are cool though which as a kid saw the film through The film is proper terrible, haven't seen it in nearly 20 years so I'm not sure if the 80s nostalgia angle of it would be good but I haven't seen in that long for a reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep inducing Definitely agree on Ghostbusters fwiw. I saw the original last year whilst considering going to see the new one, and there's nothing to it bar the well known scenes of mashmallow man, the car and bill murray's line "yes it's true, he has no dick" . There's a film where I presume the merchandising of the toys etc in the 80s kept that nostalgia of that film alive. Definitely doesn't stand up in the way Back to the Future or (some of ) the Indiana Jones films do. But as for Die Hard get out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
