Let's have a films thread.

Ready player one - really enjoyed the book and was looking forwards to the film. 

Massively disappointing, so much has been changed that it’s only just the general outline of the book.

If you haven’t read the book then it’d be a fairly decent watch, if you have then steer clear. 

5/10

I didn’t read the book and I’d give it a 7/10 it was enjoyable and some of the references were great, loved The Shining one. It wasn’t amazing though and I won’t be rushing out to purchase the dvd or anything.

Molly's Game - very interesting true story, that I knew nothing about before seeing this.

A Quiet Place - 5/10

 

An interesting premise about a reality where if you make a sound then giant monster things come from nowhere and eat you. Once you get to grips with the scenario it falls into a very overcrowded horror/monster category of movie and becomes a pretty bog standard affair. CGI, again takes away any realism.

The Commuter. Just the sort of thing you expect from a Liam Neeson film. Didn't get a very good write up but I thought it was entertaining. 7/10

The new king Arthur is the splitting image of Kasper Schmeichel

Just watched Tomb Raider thought I would hate it but actually enjoyed it , decent story line and a bit far fetched just like the games really. 7/10

[Dr The Singh]

Watched 12 Strong....so much US bullshit, no wonder mericanz are so messed, people watch this type of shit and believe it's true.

 

Still a entertaining film

Disagree with this review, but hey, we are all different...

 

If you can suspend your disbelief, it’s a cracking film.  Brilliant acting and the tension is maintained to the end.

 

The CGI only plays a peripheral role.

 

Would really recommend.

You Were Never Really Here - slow but violent revenge movie,Joaquin Phoenix excellent as usual 7/10

Detroit. Intense and not what you'd call a pleasant watch but a cracker of a film. I don't usually hang in there on long films (this one is 2 hrs 20) and can lose interest but Detroit kept me watching.

[The Bear]

Don't bother with Valerian. Annoying characters, lots of CGI nonsense, pointlessly confusing plot, yet only just about manages to keep your interest.

Thought it was absolute self indulgent poo

Highlander - 7/10

 

Dated but great, one of the most random film plots ever. A group of immortals roam the earth and duel with other immortals, the only way to defeat each other is by decapitation, they then absorb their energy or power or something and carry on until "There can be only one".

Yeah, I loved it. As someone who lives with a deaf person, it was spot on. Best film I've seen in a good while.

I have to disagree here

 

I thought it was an entertaining space cops romp with lot of twists and turns.  CGI (Especially at the start)  were beyond decent and the story have few nice variants that offer a twist on the average cop buddies story (the story being set in the space,  quirky macguffin device,  some nice gender reversals,  unique characters and settings)  

 

I do agree that CGI get overused nowdays but with the movie being in space,  CGI becomes one of main selling points for the movie which is something that were executed well in my opinion.
