I lreally liked 3, and felt it would have benefited from more of Garcia's storyline in focus, I liked him Obviously ,the huge black mark is Coppola's "acting". She madea wise choice to go behind the camera after that. I've come to like Garcia over the years ,but for me ,he was trying a little too hard in GF3 ,probably the Pacino effect . Things to do in Denver , now that's the Garcia I like ,good old Jimmy the Saint ,and another decent Garcia film , Internal Affairs ,which ,incidentally ,was also Richard Geres best performance ,due to him playing against type .

AJ Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I tried to watch The Great Wall, but I couldn't see it through. That has to be up there in contention as one of the worst pieces of crap ever made by human hands. My question is, did anybody involved with this movie, at any time, ever at any point, asked themselves that they were OK with this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ok, movie confessions (for want of a better word) or unpopular opinions: - I have never seen any of the Harry Potter / Pirates of the Caribbean / Hunger Games / Shrek / Hobbit movies and don't really have any desire to - Avatar bored the shit out of me - couldn't make it to the end - As discussed earlier, Godfather series is overrated. Its decent but not as good as it thinks. How about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Still haven’t seen Robocop I also haven’t seen any of the Harry Potter/hobbit/pirates of the Caribbean films. Boring sacred cows that need slaying? 2001: A space odyssey The magnificent seven Easy rider (Jack is entertaining, to be fair) Guilty pleasure - I know he has made some duff films (by his own admission,to be fair), but I’ll happily watch anything with John Cusack in. Oh and because I know some people think this, Snatch is NOT better lock, stock.... it just isn’t.

Awful film and 3 hrs of my life I’ll never get back. No idea how it won Oscars and even worse how they are more of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I've ever watched any of them, is when my children have wanted to see them. Guardians of the Galaxy was a perfectly good example of this whole genre. Perfectly good kids movie. I enjoyed it. Just as, a few years ago, I would have enjoyed an episode of In The Night Garden or Peppa Pig. Great for the kids of that target age bracket. About the same level of depth. Do not kid yourself they are clever message movies hidden behind panto. They are just panto. Batman. A kids movie with poor lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 3 Billboards etc. - superb film. Sam Rockwell and Frances Mcdormand are fantastic. Well they all are really but I really enjoyed that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The older I get, the more I enjoy and choose to watch kids films. Be it, the feeling of escapism from normal life or the fact that a lot of them have adult humour hidden within that a child wouldn’t get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda with you on Commando. I only watched that for the first time recently. Never bothered with it before, but gave it a chance. Quickly realised why I’d not rushed to watch it. Arnie by numbers, for me. Not a bad film, just a seen it all before, OTT action film. I’m surprised it’s generally considered one of his better efforts. I much prefer the running man which has an decent premise and a proper panto villain in Richard Dawson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good example of how to do an action movie that's still based around an interesting premise and worth watching. See also: Total Recall. But Commando is an essentially plotless movie that seems to only exist as filling between quips.
