Jungle Cruise
Did you like Indiana Jones? Of course you did, it's the pinnacle of adventure movies, especially built around an ancient power
Did you like the Mummy? Of course you did, an excellent adventure movie about an ancient power involving a plucky English woman and her fucking useless brother
This movie is not these movies
The Rock and Emily Blunt is a lot of charisma, and even they cannot rescue this turd
I'm not pulling punches here, this movie sucks. Do not pay for it. Do not get sucked in to watching it with your kids. It's utter rubbish.
0 good rock moments out of 5 Blunt isn't even hot in this
Avoid
How the fuck did they manage that!?!

M4L stepped on lego before watching it. It's amusing and has Emily Blunt.

@catogrande Pirates of the Caribbean...which is kinda what Jungle Cruise is, a bit of that, bit of Indy.
I thought Jungle Cruise was fine, not a must watch, but decent.
I'm an hour into No Time To Die...so far Ana is hawt AF, Craig looking tired and Ana hawt.

Lucky Lea Seydoux is, she’s bangin too.

Brittany Runs A Marathon
It’s probably shit. It’s probably boring.
But if you’ve ever tried to lose weight or do a massive physical accomplishment, you’ll relate to it. And it’ll get dusty. It’s been one of the worst days in recent times in the Rage house, but this was the perfect film for it.
5 runs out of 5 hot Asians.

Agree, mindless fun, but fun.
I made the mistake of saying I'd go see No Time To Die at the cinema with my mate today. Just learnt it's three hours long, fuck that. Wish I was watching it at home as I haven't been a fan of the last couple of Bonds.
To make matters worse I forgot I had NSW covid entertainment vouchers to use so used real money for the tickets.

That rather shitty film was what inspired me to do a marathon. Felt that if that ridiculous creature could do it then I had a good shot.
Hope the issues at the Rage household have improved. Sorry to hear it

Shang-Chi
Pretty fucking good I thought. No expectations. The fight scenes were ace.
Free on Disney + at the moment.
There is a remake of Home Alone. I only saw little bits but CF Jr said it was shit. From what I saw they took all the great bits out of the original and replaced them with nothing good. Avoid

Ok so 3.5 Q’s out of 5 M’s for No time to Die. Good story line, acting not quite there in places. But plenty of Bond humour and obviously action a plenty.
Not going to say too much about the movie so as to avoid spoilers but worth a look if you are a Bond fan like me from way back.
OK one spoiler Ana de Armas is a babe and there are even rumours she may even get her own Bond spin-off which would be cool.
And I think I may have a theory on the next Bond actor.
Am 1/3 in (family stuff got in the way) and not that impressed. came across as tired and formulaic. Still fun to watch but lacks the edge of Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace. Trying too hard to be clever and, in parts, woke.
Next Bond? I'd go for Idris Elba. Has the right mix of menace, cool, screen presence and is just so British.
Elba is too old and well known to be Bond.
He is black though which would have the SJWs flogging themselves. If he could play it as a gay man that would be even more woke.

Watching jungle cruise as we speak, as discussed it’s fun
I have one issue though…they’re going upstream (west further into the jungle)…but then they come to rapids and are going down stream…

No Time To Die: Best Bond for me since Casino Royale. I was not a fan of QOS and Spectre and Skyfall was so-so, so TBH I wasn't expecting much going in. But I didn't get restless even though it seemed to never end, it had some good actions scenes, was probably a bit "emotional" in some places.
Easily the best thing about it, Ana De Armas, so fucking hot in this, easily the worst thing about it Ana De Armas' role was basically slightly longer than a cameo.
One issue I think it had was that the villain wasn't compelling at all.
I don't care who the new Bond is but hope they select a black LGBTQ etc gender fluid person just for the melt downs. Bond, James Bond, They/Them.

You're right on both counts. Was surprised to see he was 50. Still think he'd have been a great Bond though.

I think Elba would play a great un-woke Bond.

No Time To Die
Now most of you know I'm not a huge fan of Bond movies, but this one hit the right note for me. That note being the end of this run of Bond movies.
They should've killed it in Casino Royale.

TBH, I assume you haven't watched it because you haven't mentioned how hot Ana De Armas was in it, or you're gay. Actually, scratch that, even a gay guy would recognise how hot she was in it.

Everyone knows Ana is in the movie. Pointing out Ana is hot is like saying the surface of the Sun is hot.
It would be more amusing if they explained how Bond villains came by their wealth. Something like invented a web browser, payment system, Tesla, online book store, etc.

I thought that was as much as a given as Ana is hot.
