Movie review thread...

Be honest. Who saw the trailer for Hobbs and Shaw and said
Absolutely fuck yes
-
Watched Spiderman.
Was bored at the teenager stuff early on, but understand why it was needed.
It's pretty good really. Perfect villain for a Spidey movie. Some cool effects and great locations.
Not as good as homecoming, but that's a pretty high bar. Holland is a great Spiderman.
3.5 night monkeys out of 5 douchebag grass cutters
Thought the first post-credits scene was naff, but I trust Marvel implicitly now.

This would never happen to Bourne.

Yep saw that hopefully not as bad as the headline makes out.

Surely that's an April Fools joke in July?

Good way to ruin another franchise.

If you click on the link it's not quite as bad as the headline makes out.
But they are "Bond" movies....not "007" movies. They're also steadily declining in quality too if you ask me as inevitably happens. Could be a good chance to abandon the franchise.

James Bond fans wanting 007 to be either black or female are in for a double treat

You think after Dr Who turned to a giant steaming turd after they gave the job to a sjw chick and the stories were preachy garbage they would have thought twice about this.
Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker did a magnificent job even when the scripts and special FX were utter shite.
The snippets I've seen of Dr Who from the 80s onwards look pretty dire. I'm amazed it's still going.

The Billy Piper era was actually decent , the cgi was done by the same people that did postman pat. The last two doctors have been utterly shit .

We must be inferring different things then.

The reboot declined in quality but is still light years ahead of some of the campy 70s and 80s crap they threw out.
I'm perfectly happy for a kick arse female British spy movie to be made, but Bond and 007 exist in a narrow character area - the number belongs to him alone.

I don't see who this is supposed to appeal to. Younger viewers who don't have any idea who Bond is anyway? It's so bizarre. Why this desperate need to take existing characters and turn them into women? Why not develop new characters? Just a thought....
Imagine the furore if Shaft was changed to a gay white dude or Charlie's Angels became 3 guys? But why would you want to change them in the first place?

Come on mate, I'm sure it will be good. Just look at how the rebooted Ghostbusters turned out, oh wait....

Moore was campy at times no denying it but he still made some of the best films in my opinion.
Compare the brilliant ‘For your eyes only’ with ‘Diamonds are forever’ for example. The latter had gay hit men and Blofeld in drag for fucks sake and Connery looked fat, bored and wore a pink tie.
