Xela Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Although it smacked of Oscar bait, it was good. Great acting all round 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Absolutely loved What We Do In The Shadows. Reevaluating my relationship after my girlfriend said it was one of the worst films she'd ever seen...Funnily enough I watched that yesterday too.Gets a "meh" from me. Some funny moments. Nothing hilarious.Might rewatch with company and see if it improves on a second watchI can understand not getting the humour if you don't like FOTC. But I'm really surprised you like FOTC and didn't find What we do in the shadows that funny. I think the humour is very similar but much better on the latter.I found it very funny on first watch, then progressively funnier on each watch.

It's just far inferior in quality to FOTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Saw Spectre the other day.Sam Mendes makes a traditional Bond movie with a Moore era undertone. It's nothing special. Opens with a needless bit of dick waving by the cinematographer, one of those fake long cut scenes which doesn't achieve anything beyond stroking the filmmakers ego, it goes through the requisite Bond framework, it has absolutely absurd treatment of its female characters (Monica Belluchi is on screen for 5 minutes and in that time the plot manages to embarrass itself, and nobody, no-one at all, who doesn't suffer with social disabilities, is buying the relationship between Bond and whatever Seydouxs character is called), it has a strangely effective threatening henchman in Batista, who is probably the best thing about the movie, and Mendes gives us another underused undercooked absentee villain. Oh and it makes a really cackhanded attempt to make an overarching plot for Craig's Bond, when everyone and his dog knows Skyfall is a silly curiosity of a Bond film and makes even less sense than usual in any attempt at making a Bond continuity.It's all a bit tired. Not a bad movie by any means but this really should have been far better than it is. All the bits are there. The connective tissue of the movie is lacking though, and the skeleton in the shape of the script and plot is bollocks. It feels like it wanted the plot to inspire awe and intrigue and blow you away with its secrets, but everyone already knew all the secrets and it tosses any buildup to something meaningful away without conviction.More Quantum of Solace than Casino Royale, sadly.

VillaForever1970 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Spectre is pretty shit, rips down all the work done to make Craig a 'modern serious Bond' and drags us towards World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day territory.The 'twist' is all a complete joke, not because of the character because of the reasoning, which makes about as much sense as a chocolate t-pot. Bond going into space was more believable!Topped off with action scenes that kill any tension or excitement as well.Bizarre Edited November 3, 2015 by VillaForever1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfal was kind of like the Bond to end all Bonds. Will be curious to see who they pick next. My moneys on Tom Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corny nature of the older ones is so weary, and the nodding back to it in Spectre just reminded you how dated it is. Moving on to new stuff, and you're effectively just doing Bourne or whatever anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn't bother at all. Unless you're into incredibly dull and predictable formulaic superhero cinema which has been done to death...

Designer1 Posted November 4, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2015 With thanks to Mr.Bunnksi for the recommendation (and the link) Watched this last night: Very good indeed. It's an interesting concept, and for a western has a commendable amount of originality. Great cast, some very well written dialogue (Jenkins character has some very funny dead pan lines) and some utterly vicious scenes of violence. It has barely any music (I counted 2/3 short scenes) but that works to it's advantage as it gives the movie a kind of grounded reality and creates a feeling of desperation.

The Avengers is definitely the best of the bunch once you can get past Ironman's terrible jokes and that half an hour in the middle where they just talk to each other and nothing actually happens apart from bad puns and slapstick jokes.It's a very good film though. Just don't bother with the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
