Movie review thread...

Deadpool 2 was awesome. I had listened to a somewhat negative review from Mark Kermode earlier in the day and quite frankly I think he saw a completely different movie from the one I saw.
It was funny, had good action, NZ got name checked, the second credit scenes as mentioned by Kirwan were hilarious, Domino is hot, the original X Force scenes were also hilarious.

The x force stuff was so unexpected too.

Red Sparrow - J-Law as a Russian spy.
J-Law gets the girls out, all but full nudity.
Decent enough storyline, 3.5 double agents out of 5 torturing cnuts

@taniwharugby Prior to the fappening, that would have been a consideration. Now, meh. Your rating suggests rainy Sunday viewing and there's a backlog for that.

The Snowman
Burnt out cop investigates a series of murders in which the killer leaves a creepy looking Snowman at the scene. Interesting idea and a couple of good gross out moments but boring as all fuck with some weird pointless random scenes and the fact I worked out who the killer was really early in the piece didn't help either.
1.5 Michael Fassbenders out of 5 Val Kilmers.

Annihilation - I enjoyed it, not great, not as good as Ex machina, but still good and was a bit trippy. Definitely would like to have seen it on the big screen though. I think Oscar Isaac is usually really good in movies and TV but he seemed to be horribly miscast in this, he didn't seem very soldiery to me.
Some annoying stuff though.
:::There were too many people being stupid horror movie/Walking Dead style scenes. There's genetically hopped up animals around, I'll keep watch on the ground instead of up in the control tower, oh I hear animals, I'll go stand in the open instead of in the sandbagged look out post etc.

Deadpool 2. Irreverent, mocking, multilayered, still violent childish and naughty, this was a richer film than the last. I loved the in jokes and pop culture references, the clever recreation of a classic 80s track (and it's video). DP2 was a rollicking fun ride from the start, with the Bond pisstake, right to the end with the post credits extras. 5 pre-diabetic kiwi boys out of 5 sliced up paedophile guards

Game Night - loved it
Cargo - good watch. Different take on this genre
-
Black Panther
Watched it on a plane.
Kind of fun for a start. Loved the sister who invented all the tech.
White bad guy was funny.
Bilbo as a yank was weird.
Second half got lame. Plot and logic holes you could ride a super
human... err ... superrhino rhino through.2.5 vibranium artifacts out of 5 kinetic energy absorbing suits.

@booboo Sounds like it might be as bad as Merry in 100 Code on the Hobbit thing.
You've lost me sorry .. ? ?
I've never heard of "100 Code" - but I'm guessing he's referring to another case of the "Frodo in Sin City" effect.

Or Samwise Gangey as Winona's love interest in Stranger Things 2.
