sharkyvilla Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I watched the David Brent movie last night, it was alright but another film that didn't really need to be made. It reinforces the fact that The Office was perfect the way it was as two series and the Xmas specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't get the hype scroll forwards to about 3 minutes, then realise that type of thing hadn't been done before. It wasn't cgi, either. And the soundtrack is exceptional. Tremendous film. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd pretty much agree. Although the first one is the best. It's a msterpiece. Aliens is very good too, but it's a totally different kind of movie to the first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know I'd maintain that the Assembly cut of 3 is a decent movie, better than the theatrical, but it's still third in the rankings of Alien movies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studio issued Assembly cut, which re-edited the movie and added in scenes, is better than the theatrical, but it's still the third best Allen movie.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Batman vs Superman I'm probably going against the grain here, but i actually thought it was ok. Yes, its a but jumbled and there are bits where even this type of movie takes huge liberties (Batman has been plotting revenge on Superman for years but all the anger is dispersed just because their moms share the same name!) and I'm never a fan of the long fight scenes as there is just too much destruction going on, however, that being said I like the characters individually. I guess I've always preferred DC characters to Marvel ones. Its far from prefect but its not as bad as I had been led t expect it would be. A surprising 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2017 Saw Assassin's Creed yesterday. It's a very accurate adaptation, in that it makes all the same mistakes the games do with the plot, notably that the present day stuff is completely shit and nobody cares and is not the reason anyone is watching or playing, and the fundamental concept doesn't really work. Odd film. There's little outright bad about it. But the sum of its parts is rubbish. Also the thing looks crap. Everything is dull and either muted grey and blue or beige, and everything has a haze to it with a completely mental fascination with smoke and fog everywhere. Not the franchise starter Ubisoft wanted I suspect. Also saw Hunt for the Wilderpeople yesterday. Watch this movie. And The Neon Demon. Which was weird and looks and sounds absolutely fantastic.

A surprising 6/10 after a better second watching of a couple of films that i didnt rate very highly first time round (such as battle of five armies) i thought id give BvS another go, think i lasted 20 minutes before turning it off, the film had jumped around something like 7 times by then, the pacing, the editing, the CGI of superman smashing the place up, the characters they make no effort to develop put in to scenarios they make no effort to explain, its just garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't cgi, either. It's similar to why Citizen Kane, in spite of being an obvious go-to is such a phenomenal achievement. If it were released today then it would be a good film. For what it was and what had gone before in 1940, it was miraculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Silence is well a chore of a film that is somehow getting rave reviews but is a massive bore Spoiler Liam Neeson agent has worked wonders getting him as the main actor on the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
