While we’re awaiting the definitive answer, I’ve decided that “Die Hard” is as much a Christmas film as “It’s a Wonderful Life” is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mess. The first one was so good, I'm genuinely gutted they couldn't just do the original prequel. the Spiders Web book isn't even good.

It wasnt even a mess, it was just boring and nothing new or fresh Think the Fincher/Craig combination was much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it have a message or a theme? Even if it were something simple, like 'Don't genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men'? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a film version of Juggers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 And so, the review that noone was asking or waiting for: Bohemian Rhapsody. It's full of inaccurassies, like Fat bottomed girls, recorded in '78, being played on a tour in 1975. A tour that really took place in '76 or '77. And more. But of course I loved it anyway. The fact that I saw it for the second time yesterday and considers to watch it again pretty much says it all, I guess. I thought the acting was good, expecially from Malek and Lee. And Hollander. But Gwylim Lee looked and sounded like the real Brian May. So much that I sometimes forgot that it actually wasn't him but an actor. Thw only thing that bothered me a bit was Roger Taylor being made to look like a sulking little boy, which he isn't. He's a very intelligent, funny and fiery man. At least according to those who knew him. All in all, biased as I am, 10/10. Of course it's not that good, but, you know, it's a film about Queen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Finally got around to watch Sicario, Day of the Soldado. Was pretty meh, not terrible but considering the actors involved it should have been better. Bit shallow and pointless. They tried to make it "realistic" and grim but it needed more context or world building to really work. All in all a generous 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this tonight , thought it was dull as watching Blues play it was far too Northern with all its “will thee” , the dialect was like Shakespeare meets A Peter Kay bread advert , why use 20 words when you can use 46 instead.. the fate of the solider was even a nod to Star Trek and the redshirts which seemed to be his only purpose for being in the film and it took bloody ages before they started cracking a few heads open yeah I know I’m a heathen but that was dreadful , I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
