@Nepia I gave it a generous 3 what the fuck was that out of 5 wannabe Dusk til Dawn
I can't remember what I gave it, but I think I'm in a similar camp. It did pretty well in a year when it seems people are just not turning up at the box office. MI hasn't even hot 400m yet and Thunderbolts got rave reviews by fans and critics alike and is still lagging behind the latest disliked by most Captain America. Covid really screwed with the cinema business (not helped by decisions to release movies on to streamers concurrently or quickly).

Sinners
Two hours of my life I'm not getting back
1 Dusk out of 5 Dawns
Damn that's harsh, I wanted a straight down the line gangster film, which it isn't, but on its own merits I can't see how it only gets a 1 Dusk. 1 Dusks (or 1 Slow Mos) are reserved for Zac Snyder films (except 300).
It’s like the ‘black’ Western that came out last year or the year before
So overhyped because of the cast

Finally saw the Captain America film with Harrison Ford getting his hulk on. Can't rate it as it did not hold my attention at all. Not sure I could find anything at all to recommend about it.

Even for a movie of that era it was absolutely ridiculous that Dr No summoned someone to his island and his master plan to kill Bond was to.........put a spider in his hotel room.......
Dr No was a crazy mastermind disfigured, monstrous and lucky to be alive. And his limbs were spider like. Thematic stupid death is a thing! Yes I had all the books when young(er).
It is critics like you who are making all the evil criminal masterminds leave showbusiness. Unless they are ex-wives with plenty of mushrooms.
PS being killed by a spider in NZ would be a great murder weapon idea as no one would believe it..You are the most unique poster on here, this is a baffling take on JB.

Thoroughly reliant on Pitt and Clooney's charisma and could have been shit, but was actually very watchable.

Can’t stand Clooney but Brad is always outstanding, I’m on the fence about this one

Better than John Wick 2

I feel like I just watched @kruse going through the motions of writing a movie review.
I don't want to do it again.

You've seen it or you're speculating? I didn't think it was released until August in Oz?
I like the first one but remember it being overhyped with people saying it was more realistic than John Wick which left me flabbergasted especially considering Christopher Lloyd.
Ballerina: Speaking of John Wick. Girl John Wick with John Wick in a longer than cameo role. Preposterous, but fun if you like the Wick series. Ana De Arms doing a slightly more vicious turn as her character from James Bond.

Pure speculation. But I loved the first and the second looks to be the same, even if there's no surprise this time - just fun without taking itself seriously.
