    Elba was good in Zootopia and The JUngle Book 🤣

    I think he's fine, not great but good enough, if I see a film with him usually know what you are gonna get.

    Clive Owen should've been Bond, and Mike Hodges should've directed the films.

    Wrong. Craig brought much needed life into a dying franchise. Casino Royale is one of the best bonds ever.

    Maybe Anthony Starr could be the first kiwi Bond? He's already well used to shagging the hot birds and beating up on the bad guys 😉

    George Lazenby did a great job. Yeah I could easily see old Hood in the role come to think of it.

    @mn5 An extremely dull film.

    Even a b-movie "evil internet" thriller like Untraceable (2008) was vastly more entertaining.

    Bonds been going successfully for 55 years. I think this renders your point somewhat moot.

    @mn5 It's about as interesting as the Transformers franchise at this point.

    Message from the King

    Decent revenge themed b-movie on Netflix. Worth a look.

    Thor Ragnarok - awesome. Best marvel movie IMO. Good to see some humour. Watched it in a cinema in Wimbledon and the crowd loved Taika Waititis character with his cuzzy bro accent...

    Perhaps Byron Kelleher. Although he'd get himself too worked up during the opening credits and get shot in the first scene.

    Canefan clearly said hot birds. Filthy tranny looking Asians don't count

    Great soundtrack too. Great film, as good as you could do this sort of film, very funny

    Taika can do whatever he wants to do next.

    Caleb Ralph though, he'd glide through the whole film unnnoticed, then pop up right at the end, kill the baddie, score the winning try, and get the girl.

    Or Reuben Thorne! He too would glide through the whole film unnnoticed, then ......ummm

    Ok, maybe not.

    My favourite Reuben Thorne memory (love that memory) was when he was described by John Mitchell as a "non-verbal captain". Did he beat Pocock to using sign-language first?

    Surprisingly low ranking for a female John Wick film ;).

    Although, TBF I did see it for free, and was given free choc tip ice creams and lollies, so there's at least an extra double agent there!

    @nepia found many of the fight scenes choreography a bit average and less believable than even the ridiculously unbelievable scenes in John Wick if that makes sense haha.

    Theron musta got through a few packs of ciggies in the film too.

    Finally got around to watching the Chasing Great doco on Richie.

    I liked it, but then I'm a fan of his and a rugby tragic and for for those types of stories, sooooo....

    It didn't really dig deeper than his book or what we already knew about him, just added around what we already knew I guess.

    Still got tingles watching the final moments of 2011 & elation watching Smith put that grubber through for Beaudie!

    3 RWC wins out of, 3...🤔

    3...2...1...

    Thor: Ragnarok was pretty awesome - it's basically a NZ Marvel movie and pretty much a straight up comedy. The crowd started clapping twice during the film and then at the end. It was a bit weird, doesn't happen too often (I think aside from Star Wars I've only seen it at premieres).

    Taika did an awesome job, and kept all the best lines for himself. Chucked in a The Castle line as well.

    I had a look at the sets at Village Roadshow studios on the Gold Coast last year and it was interesting to see which of the planet's characters the extra's I saw in the film were.

    I'm back on the Thor train again (the previous one is my least favourite Marvel movie).

    The audience clapped when I saw it too, great film and up there as one of the best Marvel films.
    Great to see another in the vein of Guardians of the Galaxy.
    Another fine example how Marvel is pissing all over DC at the moment.
