I agree it was very good, best Marvel movie for awhile. The guy who plays Shang-Chi was exceptional. First thing I've seen him in but sure he will get some more roles now Edited September 16, 2021 by Big Salad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus at the beginning was awesome, the guy streaming the fight online was hilarious, that fight and scaffolding one were magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Saw Cry Macho with Clint Eastwood last night. Thought it was brilliant and enthralled me throughout. I have love all his movies and this is one is no different, the actor playing the young kid was good also. From all his westerns to Dirty Harry to Gran Torino and more Clint is an absolute legend and it will be sad, sad day when he passes away.

It's very good, quite shocking for back then and I cannot think of anyone better to handle a new adaptation, cast is good too, this will be good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the first reboot Godzilla film, was a big fan of it but put watching this off as heard it was a bit plop. I need to stop reading reviews I think as I loved it from start to end. Big grin throughout. It’s bonkers. The scene where Mothra unfurls her wings is beautiful. The big diorama shot of the 4 titans in battle at the end at night was amazing, such a cool shot. Such daft fun. Will have to get round to watching Godzilla V Kong soon as well. I get (I think) why these films aren’t for everyone but I’ve loved both films I’ve watched so far. I just want to see giant cool monsters beating each other up, a lot of action, a bit of lore and history building. It’s great. Funnily enough I watched one of the original Mothra movies at the weekend, The special effects are nowhere near as good as these days but still really good fun. Still singing the high high Mothra, high high Mothra. Oooo Mothra, oooo Mothra song the tribe sing to raise her 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember much of any others, will have a search later to find what I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2021 Malignant last night. Absolutely bat shit mental. But I really enjoyed it. I was very dubious after the incredibly cheesy and terribly acted intro, I really hate that sort of acting, but even though the acting still left a little to be desired at times, the film was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2021 it's on channel 4 but probably counts as a film rather than TV program but i enjoyed Help for like an hour or so. really hard hitting. the last 20-30 mins were a bit silly though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely deliberate - he (Wan) wanted more stilted dialogue in some scenes to evoke the feel of 80's horror movies. There was also a shit load of giallo nods amongst his usual style. Glad you enjoyed it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it was far less obvious in the rest of the film. I also think there are quite a few parallels plotwise with Candyman, which is a coincidence given I watched both of those last week!

Rodders Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Copshop - I mean if you've seen the trailer there are no surprises. it's dumb, but fun in the *approaching cliche warning* switching your brain off way. A couple of pieces of dialogue and character choices are particularly risible and stupid, but with a generous spirit it's enjoyable enough. For me shows the benefit of the unlimited card as I wouldn't have bothered with it otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
