Good to hear its pretty good! Definitely worth going cinema, it looks amazing, I'll pop back on later with the verdict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear its pretty good! Really enjoyed it, great fun. The whole cast were great, Jesse Plemons looked like he's devoured Albuquerque. If the kids are aged between 5 and 80 they will enjoy it, it will look great on a huge screen. Negatives - nothing original, a few hat tips to some classic adventure films from before or could be seen as copying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) The acting gets a bit crap since every scene is against a green-screen. Other than that it was an OK-ish matinee adventure flick. Not one of Disney's finest but does a job. Edit: I did lose interest towards the end if I'm honest Edited July 30, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2021 Saw The Sparks Brothers last night. It's long but it's great fun and really takes you through the highs and lows of Sparks' career. Edgar Wright does a great job of keeping the narrative moving and ensuring it's a fun ride at all times, despite it taking the standard form of a band biopic. You won't even need to know much about Sparks to enjoy it, and as I have done, may come out of it with a new-found respect for their music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to go to Nottingham to see it though. I would have expected to see it at The Electric in Brum but it seems like that's not reopening (which has upset me on a level similar to Jack leaving).

Ingram85 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) …. and in complete contrast to Si’s post …….. Deep Rising (1998) Creature feature set on stranded cruise liner with terrible late 90’s CGI starring Treat Williams and Famke Janssen. A film I’d seen when I was about 15 I think and haven’t seen since. It’s hard to find a copy or even stream it and I never see it in CeX. For some bizarre reason it’s on Disney+ of all places. Was surprised to chance upon it. The guy who plays Benni in The Mummy is in it and is brilliant. Him and Treat get some great one liners. For years after I always got this and Ghost Ship mixed up all together into one film. It’s a truly truly terrible film on every level but I love it as the actors know it’s crap but just run with it. Much like Ghost Ship. 2/10 in reality, 7/10 in my head. Edited August 1, 2021 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The quicker they get Vin Diesel out of the F&F franchise the better, or just bin it all and go with Hobbs and Shaw, at least they're fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I can't hear "Hobbs & Shaw" without picturing some sort of hifalutin department store. You know the type, has a whole floor dedicated to Cath Kidston shite. On 01/08/2021 at 14:01, Ingram85 said: Deep Rising (1998) A great film! Well, I mean no, it's not, but it also is. At the very least; if 90's Famke Janssen, no can defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I watched Tag at the weekend. A fair few laugh out loud funny moments. On the whole a solid 7/10 film with a 10/10 soundtrack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. That was a great little addition. Loved the glee that these older fellas had for the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
