Movie review thread...

Finally got around to seeing the “The Final Reckoning” latest in MI chapter.
Really wanted to like this as have enjoyed most of the movies. Felt like an hour too long and strangely more drawn out drama than real action and even the action felt largely flat.
Sure a couple of good nifty links to previous movies but I guess they had to because nothing left for them to explore.
Probably the worst since the Sydney based one, but even that was better.
2.5 overly botoxed Cruise’s out of 5 three hour farewells.

The F1 movie was fun if a bit silly. Pitt was very cool, I was never bored, it looked good, the Simpson/Bruckheimer "high concept" formula still works really well.
Read this book:

@bayimports i started it the other night, got half hour in and turned to something else...will probably finish it, but at that length I can treat it like a 4 part series....

K-Pop Demon Hunters
The daughter made me watch.
My conclusion:
Do yourself a favour and watch.
Fun movie.
Just park any need to understand the whole thing.
Ms Boo Jr advises it took 10 years to make, and even then Netflix got them to chop from 3hrs to 1.5. So that there are many unanswered questions. But it doesn't really matter.
Save that shit for the sequel(s).
Sit back and enjoy.
Music is great.

Gladiator 2.
Damn this was bad. The original is one of my favourite films. This is like TFA to Star Wars. Similar story but just shit. The main dude had zero acting ability and charisma. Not even a pale imitation of Martin's cousin. Denzel Washington was of course great but even he couldn't do shīt with this turd burger. -
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
- Can't understand how anybody would rank this in top half of Tarantino (please don't take this as an invitation to do yet ANOTHER ranking of Tarantino films. It's been done. Ad nausem. I say knowing perfectly well.... )
- Just... nothing happening, 2.5 hours of style-over-substance
- And occasional random moments of shit happening
- Perhaps that's a me-thing... going into a Tarantino movie and expecting stuff to happen. To be fair - the style was well done. And was probably just drunk-ADHD me wanting/expecting dumb stylised violence... I'll revisit Kill Bill next... that'll scratch the itch I was hoping to deal with.
Footwatch - too much

I loved it

Hi Tim
I'm Tim too.
If @kruse didn't ban the ranking it would be in the top 5.

Force of Nature: The Dry 2
The girl and I were scrolling through Netflix and found this. Pretty crappy and forgettable. Eric Bana did his best but a bunch of women I cared nothing for went on a retreat in the wilderness, one got lost, Eric turns up and investigates……
Boring as fuck, some nice bush scenes and views helped a little bit.

This thread is a fucking rollercoaster. Tit-watch, foot-watch, and now we've got nice bush scenes getting 1.5/5?

I was hoping @Kruse would spot that double entendre

The first one was decent.

Denzel and Jeffrey always watchable
The rest were ropey as fuck
A long, long wankfest of a movie from Spike

Never saw it. The girl mentioned that when pitching the idea of watching to me. Apparently the one we watched has nothing to do with it and is crap in comparison

The Acid House
When Ewen McGregor bemoaned that it was ‘shite being Scottish’ he could have easily been talking about this film. Crikey what a fucken weird, depressing but strangely watchable flick it is. Three different stories kind of intertwined, Boab has a shit day and God turns him into a fly, Johnny gets bullied by his upstairs neighbour who steals his wife from under his nose and well the third one is is even more fucked up……
Some serious sub titles needed for the accents at times.
For a beautiful city Edinburgh sure has its shitholes and I think the makers found the shittest of the shit.

That review could be regurgitated across his career.

Yeah I can see how The Dry would have nothing to do with The Dry 2.
