some of the Bond films a great, while some are not...
I re-watched Super Troopers a few months ago, thought it was funnier when I watched it when it came out, but then I also thought Cujo was fucken scary when I watched it as a kid, and I re-watched it years ago and decided I musta been a bit of a wuss!

@virgil James Bond is wildly over rated. Some/most of those movies are absolutely dire.
Pierce Brosnan one's were poor but the proof is in a franchise that's been going strong for 56 years with at least one ( no doubt more) movies confirmed in the near future.
My second favourite franchise ever, easily.
Goldeneye is easily one of the best of the Bond films. (Said as a not huge Bond fan, a found the most recent one tiresome and left 20 minutes before the end - TBF I did have a ferry to catch). It also spawned an awesome video game!

Having re-watched all the Bond films over the last few years, I find that several of them don't bear re-watching at all. The later ones in each of the stars' reigns seem to be so much worse than the earlier ones. Consider Dr No, From Russia with Love or Goldfinger in comparison to Diamonds are Forever. Live and Let Die with Octopussy, Goldeneye with Die Another Day, Casino Royale with anything that came after. The law of diminishing returns or is it just directorial hubris?

Tourism Australia: Dundee - The Son of a Legend Returns Home (Video 2018) - Plot summary, synopsis, and more...
Crocodile Dundee is back. Well, actually, he's missing in the Outback. And the only person who might be able to find him is the loudmouthed American son no-one knew he had. Introducing Danny McBride as Brian Dundee. This son of a legend is forced to channel his Aussie roots as he embarks on the ultimate adventure in the land down under. It's time to live up to the family name.

Thor Ragnorak
Liked it!
Liked the humour that was introduced, and think that Taika's character was brilliant, the unique accent worked perfectly on him I though.
Would like to have seen them bring back Natalie Portman though.

That might have been the problem, kiwi humour with Natalie Portman

Kong: Skull Island. Firstly, new Kong is fuuuuuuucking massive. Like, ridiculously so.
Brie Larson has a nice rack.
This is a pretty dumb movie. But i didn't hate it. Good monster fight at the end.
Watch hungover, like i did. Keep expectations to a minimum.

Great rack indeed
I think they made Kong bigger because he’s going to be in a cross over film with Godzilla next.

@mariner4life I found Kong to be (dumb) fun while sober too.
And yes, Brie Larson, she adds to any movie.

Rack was sensational. By far the best part of the movie.

Pretty fair call. Connery looked like he was half asleep during DAF.
