Movie review thread...

Pacific Rim 2 - I didn't really like the first one, but I saw quite a bit of this being filmed at Fox Studios and used to score some free craft services with the extras so thought I'd kick them some cash.
Not good. The first one was a wee bit gritty where this one is one of those kids save the world type movies that played better when you were a kid.
Annoyingly the level parts of Sydney in a fight scene but for some reason don't smash the ugly copper tower to pieces.
I thought Finn from Star Wars was ok in it, more to do than in The Last Jedi.

@nta I thought it was 3 movies rolled into one. The rebooted Predator, Under The Skin and Arrival.
Taking elements from all 3. It was weird, scary and well acted. Pacing is slow and then speeds up and then slows again. Im over Portman, she was great earlier on but in serious roles at this stage of her career she comes across as cold and wooden.

@raznomore you pretty much summed up why I gave it that rating. Idea was good. Execution was meh. It tried at times to be a bit arty IMHO.

Also the two of them at the end would have to know they're fucked as soon as any blood tests are run on them. It'll be a massive science experiment cutting them up before they go full mutie.

It was a very interesting movie and I enjoyed watching it. Has some big flaws that could have been fixed by just a couple more lines of dialogue.
Disgraceful that it wasn’t released in theatres, it’s main strength was its visuals and apparently the sound for the last sequence. Both losing their impact on TV.

@virgil I loved the first Deadpool. And that is a great trailer.
Its so quotable, my new one for motivating my family to get ourselves organised is "lets get our Fuck on!"
or "what in the Fucksicle?!" -
Just saw Thor Ragnarok, it deserves all the plaudits it got. Looked great, excellent characters and dialogue. Blanchett was an outstanding evil villain, Taika's Thor was a lot more interesting than ever before, the valkyrie was easy on the eye and Taika's rock man stole the show. 5 sisters scorned out of 5 planet killing fire demons

That opening scene still has me cracking up. Hold on while I rotate back around

So many good bits. "I know him, it's a friend from work!" "I don't like the S word. OK how about the prisoners with jobs for no money?" Basically everything that Taika said
