If you’ve never read the book then absolutely you’d take the movie on its on merit. It’s very well done.
It’s just much harder if you’re a long time fan of the original book. A lot of Stephen King fans would have this as one of their favs. Lots of his stories have in the past being changed significantly when turned into a film. A lot of times it’s been needed. But in this case it surprised me as it’s such a pretty simple and short story
Now I know how those lord of the rings nerds felt back in 2001… -
The Astronaut
Really good premise and plot with some genuinely scary moments but let down by cheesy dialogue and ham acting in the last 15 minutes.
3 Cuddly Aliens out of 5 Evil CIA Agents

Watched Platoon again.
Such a good but brutal movie.
The likes of Sheen, Depp, Whittaker all very young.
Man, Berengers character was pretty menacing too, John C. McGinlys was an absolute cowardly fluffybunny.
The score hits hard, fits perfectly.
4.5 friendly fire out of 5 fuck im glad I never had to go to war

A House of Dynamite
Well acted and exciting with a pretty cool ‘three different viewpoint’ perspective…….
But let down by a really stupid ending rendering the whole thing pointless.

agree on all points thought it was good and then the ending was awful
I've had a rethink and my review was a bit generous. I'm going to knock half a point off and give it 1.5 out of 5.
SUCH a load of shit that genuinely started well.I think about it more and the whole "three different viewpoints" thing was actually pretty stupid and boring, by the third act, while I enjoyed Idris Elba as el Presidente, we knew exactly what was coming even down to what line was about to be said.
Jared Harris and Tracy Letts ( had to Google that one ) play a pair of completely unlikable dickwads.
Avoid this nonsense at all costs

@Tim said in Movie review thread...:
@MN5 yeah
critics refer to it as an "all star" cast too.
Idris Elba is a big name ( and even he isn't really genuine A list like some others ). The rest are the sort of "vaguely know them from such and such" type faces.
This movie is all hype and zero substance.

@MN5 havent watched it, but a colleague was discussing it, and was annoyed about the ending
with the director leaving it open for viewers to decide how they thought would end....fucking cop out!Think I'll pass.
