BOF Posted June 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2017 Just now, Designer1 said: She's really, really not. Very talented as quite a few of her roles have shown. OK I was being unfair. She showed in Lost In Translation that she can act. I think what I should have said is that she now seems to be taking roles that allow her to be the Anna Kournikova of Hollywood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2017 In fairness, in Ghost in the Shell she's playing a cyborg. I kinda expect a robotic performance. Scarlett's usually a good thing in a movie. And not only because she will single handedly make anything look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Under the Skin and Her are both utterly superb tbf. And she is good as well as sexy in her Marvel roles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It's a shame her new hairstyle makes her look like someone from a Duran Duran tribute act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of film where I can browse the web for a bit and not feel like i've missed anything Indeed, probably similar reasons for me enjoying Passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffoman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Finally got to see Wonder Woman tonight and my god was that film over hyped. Maybe I missed something but I was extremely underwhelmed by it. It suffers from extremely cardboard black and white characters. It's literally full of plot holes and has an extremely poor ending. It tries hard at times to throw an emotional punch at you but just falls short every time. Gaddot and Pine give decent performances with what they have. And that much vaunted no mans land scene was just such a let down. Even the action scenes look over CGI. batman vs superman was arguably a better film.

Zatman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The Mummy was a predictable snorefest. Cruise was as dull as expected and Wallis was the worst thing in Peaky Blinders. Was neither scary nor entertaining The actress that played the Mummy was probably the best part of this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Passengers was fairly decent if a little twee. The dilemma for Chris Pratt was the real high point but the effects were good as were the main characters/actors particularly Michael sheen as the robotic barman. I half expected a darker tone but it was an easy watchable sci-fi film with no aliens in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2017 In his defence, he was churning out semi-decent stuff. The Jack Reacher stuff and people seem to like the Mission Impossibles (not my cup of tea), plus his frankly brilliant cameo in Tropic Thunder. It's like his religious nuttery isn't affecting his career the way it might. And then he does this. Gotta say I'm not a fan of his and he was almost on that list of people I specifically avoid. But if he's in something now I'll still watch it if I was going to watch it in the first place (so still no M.I. then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Eyes wide shut is prob one of my fav films and and my fav Kubrick film. I liked him in that. Also liked Magnolia apart from the ending but the Nilsson song prob made that film better than it was. Edited June 13, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's kinda developed a career where she's the go to 'hot woman who can also do action', particularly sci fi stuff. She's like the Harrods Milla Jovovich. I can't deny she's good at it even if it's not pushing her acting skills much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
