Movie review thread...

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

Between Taika and Dennison overseas audiences must think we are very odd people. Either that or they don't understand half the jokes but still find it funny.
After that evidence, I'd be fascinated to see Waiti do a Star Wars film. As long as he has full creative control. One of the peripheral stories, the main trilogy is too narrow storywise

That would be choice

I watched this Netflix Iraq war movie called Sand Castle - about a an airborne squad tasked with delivering water. It got panned by critics but I thought it was actually blood good and quite interesting. Superman was in it and he's a decent screen presence when Hack Snyder isn't directing him.
I wonder if critics are unduly harsh on Netflix produced films because they equate them with Direct to video?

Agree with all of that . Enjoyed it as much as you could considering the subject matter. I agree there does seem to be a fair bit of snobbery about the newer networks.

Well Steven Spielberg Doesnāt Think Netflix Movies Should Qualify for Oscars and I think he's got a point when he says:
āI donāt believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination,ā he continued.
I'd go even further and demand that any movie in colour, or with sound, should be automatically banned. Hand back your Oscars you twat.

@antipodean although 'Screeners' are distributed solely for Award consideration, how is that different?
Awards are a sham anyway!

Finally got around to watching The Last Jedi. It was...ok? I thought a bit self indulgent with the length, there was a lot of random stuff they could have easily edited out. I think i was most disappointed by the First Order. Hux was too cartoonish, and I still think Kylo Ren is a joke as a villain. There is no actual menace about him, he always feels like a pouty rejected swain who turns stalkerish. And the way they took out the Supreme Leader, bitch please. Rey, Poe, Finn, Rose were cool characters. I get the feeling DJ is going to appear again. And I wonder how they are going to deal with Leia in the next one.

Wrong thread.
Just watched it again with my boys. It's a gigantic pile of crapola and an embarrassment to the Star Wars legacy.

Justice League - eventually got around to watching.
Wasnt anywhere near as bad as some make out. Batman is the worst character. He can't help bring his angst to the party all the time. Lighten up dude.
Thought Aquaman was very cool, way better than the comic version of my day.
Spent way too long on backstory and the Superman in the cornfield scenes were plain corny.
Hardly rubbish though, when compared to some other shit around.
