Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2023 Fun movie, entertaining enough. A bit on the nose with some things, like the Maxwell stuff. Worth a watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Just watched 65 which should have been called Jurassic Yawn. A good idea poorly executed imo 5.5/10 Also watched the new Shazam which was okay I guess. I didn't rate the 1st one much and this is about on par with it 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About what you’d expect, at least I followed what was going on which is more than can be said about when I was sat watching “The Boss Baby : Family Business” in utter bewilderment. But in fairness there’s a few references to the games that the film can lean on to give me a cheap little moment of nostalgia to make up for any shortcomings. Jack Black’s song as Bowser is probably the highlight. My grandson’s review went along the lines of me asking him if he enjoyed it, he said yes, then he hated it. I said what he said no he meant he hated it. OK. Why? He hated Bowsers voice. OK. That’s Jack Black, who? Po out of kung fu panda, nothing. Po!!! No, nothing. The singer in Tenacious D. Oh yeah, well I didn’t like his voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those kind of films, the keaton McDonald's one being another, but they're always kind of 7/10 at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Operation Fortune on Netflix. Not Ritchie's best work but certainly not bad either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you though whilst not really sophisticated, it's a by the numbers action/comedy and I had great fun watching it. I want Hugh Grant to do these types of roles more often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in a nutshelnuif you like the film series you won't be disappointed. its all utterly ridiculous, but technically masterful and brilliantly entertaining. I thought it was fantastic. Just watched it Spoiler Its utterly ridiculous how unrealistic the film is and how he is able to survive this movie as long as he did. I must have counted about 7 times he would have broken his back alone let alone the amount of gun shots he missed Great film though in terms of entertainment. Loved the japan fight scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Sadly no cinema screenings of this one locally for me, but I yarred my way to watching Infinity Pool yesterday. Not quite as compelling as Cronenberg Jr.'s previous offering for me, and predominantly carried by Mia Goth's performance. This is not a criticism I find myself levelling too often, but the orgy scene did drag on a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted April 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2023 Maybe one for the things that p*** you off thread, but can anyone explain why they are doing a live action version of Moana, (which they will undoubtedly have to do a massive amount of CG for), WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST? I think Disney have gone off the deep end. The original was great, and only released 7 years ago. As much as everyone loves Dwayne, it's not gonna be much of a reimagining if it has the exact same actors. Why not tell a different story with the same characters? Hard not to see it as cynical really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard not to see it as cynical really. A completely creatively bankrupt corporation which is in bad financial state and losing hundreds of millions per release. It's what the company deserves having been taken over by political activists more concerned with pushing their political ideology and messages than creating and telling good stories.

I just think they are so big now that they play too safe. Their renaissance happened when the got Lasseter in, and whatever you think of him, he took risks on a story. He went in 2018, and things have kind of dropped off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
