Hopefully if the film is a huge hit it'll be worth something one day! I left mine in the back of a cab one day , annoyingly i hadn’t quite finished the book and had to buy another copy just to read the last 8 or 9 pages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entertaining pulp fiction and I expect the movie to be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few were enjoyable, throwaway action films. But they've become awful. I was dragged to see Fast and Furious 6 at the cinema and it's one of the worst films I've ever seen (at the cinema). I haven't bothered with any since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If even stars of the films can't be bothered to see them I guess there's no more damning evidence of their quality. I actually like them, I enjoy the 'switch-off-your-brain-ness' of them. What I don't enjoy is having to deal with all the jokers who think they actually are in the films in their souped-up metros.

Hey, remember how cool *insert reference* was?!'. Although perhaps ironically the only thing that could make me go see it is it has a Gundam in it. The book was the best (most fun & page-turning) book i've read this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a shame as I actually liked the first two. I'm expecting the film to be poor, as i can't imagine how they are going to cope with so many characters in the film. But i thought the trailer actually looked decent - The bit where you see Thanos gave me goosebumps. Loved the first Avengers film, didn't like the second one.

I watched Ready Player One in 4DX, and its the best film i've seen in 4DX. Its like 4DX was made for this film, or maybe this film was made for 4DX. A bit where blood splatters onscreen, and you get splattered with blood in your face was great. Plus the best smells i've experienced in 4DX - better than the usual smell of "gunpowder" from multiple explosions in other action 4DX films. also the best motion compared to other 4DX films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Still waiting on my DVD of Blade Runner 2049 from Sky. Missed it at the cinema (gutted) so have waited for my DVD as I have to watch films with subtitles (annoying habit) so can't watch the free download they gave of it to me via Sky Store. Everyone has given it rave reviews so I really don't want to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's a beautiful film, some of the best cinenamtography and visuals that I've seen in a long time, wish I'd seen it in imax, it's long sometimes suffers from lingering shots and pauses, took a long time to get going and didn't really hook me until over half way through but I liked the ending 7/10 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just watched The Florida Project. It was definitely a fantastic film - one of the best I’ve seen in a while - but I don’t think I could watch it again. It’s a very bleak, uncomfortable watch. Incredibly sad and ultimately very depressing given that it’s probably so true to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the woman who played the little girl's mother, was making her acting debut, I thought she was terrific, also. Nice to see William Defoe, showing how generous an actor he is. Just a shame, it never got the recognition, that it so much deserved, at the Oscars. Only Defoe was nominated for his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
