I hope that Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets lives up to the trailer
oh no, Ruthless Reviews don't think much of it. And they tend to sort of align with how i see movies.
Lets hope they are mistaken.

Meanwhile a container ship full of cash (presumably) has persuaded Daniel Craig not to slash his wrists and he will do two more Bond movies.
I find that a bit unimaginative tbh. I never really warmed to his Bond and found the movies lacked the 'fun' level of previous ones.The last one was just terrible. The thought of it continuing down that path ...

King Arthur...not sure I bought Jax Teller as King Arthur or Little Finger as someone who isn't looking to stab someone in the back at every turn, and if it didn't have the whole King Arthur aspect to it, I'd probably have enjoyed it more for what it was...
2.5 gargantuan Elephants out of 5 magical swords

@taniwharugby that's a better review than it normally gets
-
@mariner4life it wasn't great, but it was watchable, probably shoulda just been called something else though.
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, I found it watchable. It could have been a whole lot better, but far from the worst movie I've seen. Geezer King Arfur!

I'm not sure I buy Jax Teller in anything other than SOA... I'm constantly waiting for him to gaze at something with soulful and regretful eyes for a while, whining about "we need to change"; and then suddenly go "nah, fuck it - let's do some illegal shit and kill some motherfucker".

You're lucky. I can't get past him in Byker Grove.

Wasn't he in some gay show as well before SoA?

Ghost in the Shell. Let's start with the good bits. Scarlett Johannsen in a shoot 'em up with lots of violence and what looked like nudity. OK, on to the bad bits. There is no nudity. The plot is as thin as Featherlite, all the budget was spunked on paying SJ and making the action sequences look as realistic as a synchronised swimming event. Oh and the storyline was all over the place. This really ought to be a straight to DVD turkey. Avoid.
1 unrealised leer at SJ out of 5 why the fucks did I pay to see this shit.

Yep - watched that myself last night... I thought the most impressive accomplishment in the entire movie was making SJ unattractive. And fuck them for that.
Any movie where the climax setpiece involves "deploy the SpiderTank" - fuck, what am I doing with my life? -
Saw wonder woman. Thought it was exactly as dumb as Gal Gardot was incredibly hot. Big CGI fest with a feel good totally unrealistic diverse united nations of cultures fighting the Germans. Maybe I just hate movies minimising such a serious historical period. 2 powerful thighs outta 5 pointlessly stupid movie scenes.

So....half way thru Dunkirk. That's right, they still do intermission in Switzerland...
So far so enjoyable. Love me a good war film.

Intermission in film. What to do?
Option 1. Log on to TSF and give half baked opinion.
Option 2. Grab a quick beer.Fail.

@Crucial said in Re: Movie review thread...:
Option 3: quick shag in the dunnies
Maybe the wrong film for that?
-
Nah have a headache which I'm prone to. Plus the price of beer in Switzerland...
But you sort of have a point.
It's a good film anyways glad I made the effort to actually seee it in the theatre.
