Movie review thread...

Pretty much agree with what you say about much of his film acting and his TV work was way, way better overall. Voyage Round My Father was stunning. He was much more than actor as well - directed and produced films and founded/ran the National Theatre.

@raznomore @MiketheSnow how could you both forget The Last Boy Scout!
Mercury Rising and 12 Monkeys as well
Not in the timeframe I referenced
-
Army of the Dead - already mentioned earlier, decent film, with a twist on your zombie genre.
3.5 Seigfried and Roy Tigers out of 5 I'd do so much better in a Zombie apocalypse
-
Finally watched Nobody.
Loads of fun. Just like John Wick only funny and more believable...but still ridiculous.
4 dancing Russian mob bosses out of 5 oddly cast Christopher Lloyds.
Mortal Kombat reboot. Utter shit. Kano is great though. Has all the best lines, of which there are no many.

Wrath of Man
Any of you finish this and can tell me if it's worth persevering with? There's none of the humour I associate with Guy Ritchie and its simply too slow in the build up. Laborious viewing thus far.

I think any director who starts with a one-two punch of brilliant films like he did will always struggle with anything that comes out afterwards

True but he's done pretty damn well up until now not to have a Godfather III or a Matrix sequel etc. I suppose every director is permitted one donkey.

@antipodean oh so you heard of Swept Away then?
Revolver was shit too. Aladdin wasn't much better. Thats King Arthur or what ever it was pretty bad too, the parts where it wanted to be a blockbuster CGI movie anyway. The smaller moments were ok.

I never had. And I wish I hadn't googled it. 3.6 on IMDB? 5% on Rorten Tomatoes???!!!!

Were those made while he was with Madonna? I unsubscribed at that point and consider them a free pass. I don't recall thinking King Arthur stunk.
-
@antipodean I enjoyed King Arthur too
-
@antipodean I saw an article that said Arthur needed a rewatch and second chance. I did just so and felt that the more "Ritchie" moments were good. But the parts where they had skyscraper sized pachyderms and the more fantasy type stuff wasn't very enjoyable, for me.

Rock n Rolla is a bloody entertaining romp as well to be fair.
