@jegga It is disturbing, that's what it is.

And here I was thinking IT 2 was going to have the scariest movie trailers in 2019.

Interesting that there were no F35s in the Top Gun 2 trailer.

I'm out of the loop with which planes do what but are they carrier rated?

@Hooroo The C variant is. Maybe there aren't enough deployed at the moment to spare for movie filming?

Or they aren't twin?? Only Single seaters??

The Lion King

5 Hakuna Matatas out of 5 kill him Simba, kill Scar! No mercy!

[Tim]

Wasn't the Lion King ripped off from a Japanese movie?

[taniwharugby]

@Tim no idea, this was the new one, story pretty much follows original...

Timon, Pumba and 2 of the HYenas were funny. Didnt realise until I checked IMDB that James Earl Jones was Mufasa again.

@taniwharugby good to hear you liked it. I never saw the original and was looking forward to seeing it, but I was hesitant after all the underwhelming critic reviews.

F the critics, they all seem to want exactly the same type of movie no matter what they see. They panned Godzilla: King of the Monsters which was absolutely awesome, I really don't know what they expected going into a movie like that. A plot? Why would we want a plot getting in the way of monsters smashing up entire cities?

Toy Story 4

Meh. It was an enjoyable romp but didn't really hit the heights of 3.

Can't see how they can extend to a 5th given the story so a lttle bit of a let fizzle to end the saga. Room was not at all dusty like it was at the end of 3.

And apparently quite scary for the littlees. The ventriloquist dummies and Gabby Gabby were quite sinister.

But 3 Duckies out of 5 Bunnies.

Lion King tomorrow.

I never watched the original Lion King until last year. Hope to see the new version on the big screen.

Would this film ever even be released in China?

@Mokey Unpopular opinion alert , I thought the Cats trailer was superb:

The Lion King

Best movie I have seen in a long long time.

Even knowing the story - and most of the lines - it was still awesome.

Ms boo jr demanded I take her ...

... ok we both wanted to go. Mrs Boo didn't so was a cool dad-daughter outing. Cool that 16yo didn't mind hanging with embarrassing parent.

Nice to relive one of her staple weekend afternoon baby sitting devices of her childhood.

To be ultra picky I did miss some of my favourite lines ("the monkey's his uncle?"), but enjoyed some of the enhancements (the more sinister hyenas, the line "look at you, you've gained 400lbs since we started this song ...").

Every hakuna out of all the matatas.
