    @Kirwan said in Movie review thread...:

    New Indiana Jones movie is much better than Crystal Skull. No longer feels like a Mummy film, and has the feel fight. But old Indy is essentially dull. It’s supposed to be an action adventure b-movie, and he can’t do any action so it becomes more character based.

    It’s a good enough story, and is perfectly fine. But this should have stopped after Crusade.

    3 whips out of 5. 1 of those for nostalgia

    saw it last night...loved it....comfortably sits alongside the first 3 for me

    we have puzzles, zomb raiding, trains, fights on train, lots of nazis getting their arses kicked, and a tiny bit of "magic" at the end

    they address indy's age perfectly but we also get young indy for a long opening sequence, they address shia whats his names character not being in it and actually make it part of his character development...there is little i would have changed....I might have been tempted to leave him in the past, seems like an acceptable end to the character, also nice he ends up with an are appropriate love interest and the same Marion from the first one, didn't re cast a much younger actress or jam in a new love interest into this one

    Blades 2 & 3

    • Slightly less drunken for these
    • Enjoyed them more
    • They might have been worse, but... booze.. I mostly didn't hate them as much
    • Tit-watch: still zero
    • The prototype for modern super-hero movies
      • (To be fair - the first one was the true prototype for superhero movies. EVERYTHING about it... and each of the sequels just cemented the formula)

    Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

    Campy. Overly long. A pale, pathetic version of the much better Ridley Scott effort.

    I love that movie. Have never been able to explain why.

    @Bones Wrong. It was a good movie about the a relatively charismatic loser. If nothing else, it maintained tension and was well shot.

    The Covenant by Guy Ritchie. I'm scratching my head about the hype around this. It started ok but then went to absolute shit. Some good acting but some ridiculous twists. Disappointing

    Also saw No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawerance this week and my @kruse review of it is:
    Titwatch - yes.

    Then the title should rather be "Hard Feelings"?

    That last sentence sounds like a lot of his movies, I'm not a great fan of the director, after his first 2 or so movies I think he improved his cinematography but ran out of ideas.
