Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
- I could understand what they were trying to do
- But pretty bad
- Titwatch: 0.5
yeah.. think we all wanted it to work... but epic fail
Watched it on the plane. Switched off my reality chip and just enjoyed Cruise being Cruise. Stunts were ridiculous, story super far fetched. But not without some entertaining moments.

K-Pop Demon Hunters
The daughter made me watch.
My conclusion:
Do yourself a favour and watch.
Fun movie.
Just park any need to understand the whole thing.
Ms Boo Jr advises it took 10 years to make, and even then Netflix got them to chop from 3hrs to 1.5. So that there are many unanswered questions. But it doesn't really matter.
Save that shit for the sequel(s).
Sit back and enjoy.
Music is great.
3.5+ catchy K-Pop numbers out of 5 over sexualised AI Boy band members
My man The Critical Drinker doesn’t hate it ...

Started off as though it was going to be good and seemed a decent premise, spiralled out of control into a steaming pile of shit at an ever increasing rate, the ending made me want to throw something at the telly.
2 cabins out of 10 cabins.

Black Bag
Pretty entertaining ( if not at all action packed ) thriller.
Michael Fassbender bloody good as always, even Cate Blanchett looked decent ! Some great lines and a few twists and turns about secrets, cover ups and selling things to foreign enemies.
Thought provoking and intriguing, worth a watch.
3 lies out of 5 Black Bags
Half an hour in and about to ditch it, but will carry on if it's decent, ta.
Plus Cate is always smashing.

Ok so 90 minutes felt like 150, somehow held my interest but kinda felt like a Guy Ritchie movie without all the fun stuff. Maybe too cerebral for me.
Watchable, but I wouldn't recommend.
4 annoying shitcunts out of 10 wtf is going on.

Thanks for the heads-up. Mrs M has this on our watchlist after she read the novel.

@Victor-Meldrew who knows, if the last half of the novel was written by an angsty teen, it could be spot on.
-
@Bones I thought it was watchable, but agree with Black bag, I bailed on it.

On second thoughts ( and you know I don't agree with you if I can help it ) that's probably a pretty fair review. Maybe it was a bit too clever for its own good.
It needed more thrills and action for sure.

Nobody 2
A bit more fun and over the top than the original, but still a good watch none.the less.

I've seen the Beekeeper twice now. I question my life choices and the cost of my liquor cabinet.

"The film follows a retired government assassin who sets out for revenge after his kind-hearted landlady falls victim to a phishing scam"
Yeah I think I'd be driven to drink too. Sounds like utter shite.

The choreography is mostly good, the characters have the depth of wet cardboard but it's the laboured analogies to bee colonies that really get stuck in the craw.

Who'd be a retired government assassin? Never get a days rest, FFS.

The Beekeeper was genuinely one of the worst films i have ever seen.
this was my earlier review
The Beekeeper.
Jason statham playing Jason Statham, this time taking down cyber criminals.
This movie is fuuuucking terrible.
It was either written by AI, or some boomer who is scared of computers. In fact, the cyber criminals looked like updated versions of thr guys from Hackers.
Throw in for some reason a bunch of TMNT villains for additional ridiculousness
It's fucking awful. Do not fucking watch this movie. -

Jason statham playing Jason Statham
pretty much sums up most of his movies, particularly the ones from the last 5-10 years.

Jason Statham makes Gerard Butler look like Laurence Olivier

@MN5 that's a stretch.
Plenty of actors once they have established themselves dial it in.

Actually possibly fair. Statham wasn't an invincible action hero in the first two Guy Richie flicks, more of a cockney smartarse.
