bannedfromHandV Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Watched The King of Staten Island recently, semi-autobiographical story of Pete Davidson’s earlier life (not that he’s old anyway). I really enjoyed it and thought i wouldn’t, it’s very poignant in parts and well acted / scripted throughout. Definitely recommend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted February 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 I watched Upgrade again last night. I was flicking through the channels and there it appeared on Film4. Really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good film 8/10 It really is so annoying what's become of IMDB, so many influencers/bots leaving reviews to manipulate the ratings. It used to be like an encyclopedia, with message boards and a solid way of finding all you need to know about anything film/tv. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and the whole thing with people either giving 1's or 10's when they dislike or like something. Black or white, nothing in the middle. Protagonist having a costume or hair color in slightly the wrong color compared to in the comic 1/10, hate it. It's not fantastic but not as bad as people are saying, give it a chance 10/10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Watched the new 'Tom and Jerry' movie with my youngest nephew last night. He absolutely loved it, but I thought it was not that good at all. And he still did not get that **** Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Another bit of praise for I Care A Lot, very darkly humoured and well acted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 This one is supposedly pretty good, a bit Hereditary-ish. Not had time to watch it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted February 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 Escape from Pretoria on Prime. Given the context of the story it felt like it should have been more than it was. Without the back story (which was not given any depth) it would have been a half-decent thriller but it left me somewhat disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 On 31/01/2021 at 19:16, It's Your Round said: Anyone watched White Tiger on Netflix? Watched it last night, really enjoyed it. Couldn’t decide whether the main character was someone I wanted to succeed, or just a clearing in the woods. I watched this last night. Like you, I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure what you're 'meant to' feel, but I felt all of the characters were deeply flawed, including the protagonist, though perhaps he was less flawed than the others. I liked that the relationships were quite ambiguous, including the slightly odd homo tension between master and servant. Only complaint was it felt a bit rushed in places, it was the odd film where it might have been better if it was actually 20 minutes longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar reaction. I thought the ending was a bit of an anticlimax, too. Felt like it had the makings of a really good movie, but somehow fell short. Interesting insight into modern India, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I dont think a movie has had more undeserved hype than the Snyder cut of the Justice League. I bet its as crap as the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet its as crap as the original I suspect it'll be a better film than the original release - but that's a long way from being good. The original cut isn't awful, but you can tell it's cobbled together and has an absolutely bizarre tone as a result. The Snyder Cut should rectify that, but fundamentally the plot is there so theres only so much you can do with it - none of which is to make it good. Snyder will ditch the Whedonisms, desaturate it, put on more 'epic' visuals, and go grim dark at every opportunity. Which will probably be more successful than the original film. But, fundamentally, the film is going to be about Batman bringing the Justice League together to stop Steppenwolf gaining the mother boxes and turning Earth into a wasteland for his master. There's only so much you can do with that, with a few reshoots, tone changes and revamped visuals, and all the black suit Supermans and Darkseids aren't fixing that.

Anyway, I guess hundreds of millions of people love it, so they're going to get their money's worth. Just had a look and yes, the four hour run time appears to be reported consistently. The original cut was two hours long. As for people loving it, it regularly comes across to me with these films that people suspect beforehand that they won’t like it, pay to watch it, then confirm that in fact their suspicions were correct and they don’t like it. This film might get a bit more love with some convincing themselves that it’s closer to the original vision or some such reasoning. But I imagine it will be dreadful. I’ll wait until it’s shown on ITV before watching it, with the adverts I should get through it in a weekend, provided it’s a bank holiday weekend.
