@nta I really enjoyed the first one, but the London one was dire.
That's what I love - it is monumentally, stupidly, about the explosions and bad decisions that people in authority would never make.
Like in the first one where the Koreans are pelting across the whitehouse lawn, all the secret service agents rush out the front door to greet them, some using handguns, in the most exposed elevation they could find. No-one with any sort of tactical training would do that.
Next you’ll be telling me Commando is unrealistic.

Saw the Gerard Butler "...Fallen" trilogy was on Amazon Prime. Fuck those movies are a lot of fun. Remorseless fucker-upperer of bad guys, and only the occasional one-liner to break the unmitigated violence, splosions, and poor tactical choices from just about everyone except Gerard Butler.
From eight years ago:
Olympus has fallen is a throwback to completely over the top movies. Park your brain somewhere before watching it. It is a movie for a rainy day when you're sick at home. Any suggestion you're operating more firing synapses than required for existence will have you groaning and developing a migraine at the stupidity in the plot.

I'm not a Gerard fan. But he was badass in that film

caught London has fallen one night on TV last year...wife really enjoyed it, had to go back and watch Olympus and then even rented Angel, it was the same with the Fast and Furious series, ended up watching them all...just a reminder i really will never understand my wife

looking for a movie last night and i realised i have never actually seen Scarface
So i threw it on
Boy is that movie overrated. Fuck it goes forever, feels like it drags, and yet just jumps forward. It feels like immigrant gets off the boat, immigrant gets in to drug business, I'm the boss now! i'm really rich. and now I'm fucked. Yet it's 3 pretty boring hours.
Whole heaps of some good old fashioned Al Pacino overacting.
Yes it's 40 years old, but other movies of its time did it way better.

@mariner4life I've also never seen it. I think I got up to the stage where they were in a disco or a party or some shit, and realised I'd wasted an hour of my life.
Better in meme format.
It is interesting to look back at some of the multi-hour epics they made back then, and see people talking about LOTR or The Hobbit being over 2 hours more recently. It has all been done before.

Thank god I'm not the only one. I keep getting crucified on here for saying some movies held as greats aren't all that.

By contrast, I'm sure Godfather 1 and 2 are still farken boss

Just like Bill and Ted really. First film great, second even better, 3rd utter shit.

I’ve managed to never see a single Godfather Movie. I think the Deer Hunter would be considerably greater if they chopped quite a bit out of it. All of them getting pissed at the Wedding for starters.
Scarface is still good fun to watch every few years.
So many movies that win best picture at the Oscars are utter shit. Most recent I can think of are Monsters Ball and Three Billboards. Both absolutely terrible in my opinion.

I'm not on that train with you, I liked the 3rd film, might have been due to it being the 2nd film I watched back in cinemas again after lockdown, but I enjoyed. Agree on Godfather 3 though.

Indy 5 anyone....considering they should have left it at 3 i think the best the can do is break even after 4
i'd put money on they'll kill him off this time
Indiana Jones 5 Confirmed As Last Movie In The Franchise
Fans reacted surprisingly well when one of Harrison Ford's two most iconic roles was recast, with Solo gaining cult favorite status among the Star Wars faithful despite bombing at the box office, and leading man Alden Ehrenreich receiving praise for attempting to put his own spin on the roguish...
