Hasn't had good reviews full stop tbf. My kids are watching them all again and they just aren't for me. Just hoovering up all the actors, directors, investment and inspiration to produce more and more of the same thing. I enjoyed Thor Ragnorok, Iron Man..bits of the Avengers films, Shazaam was great. I just can't emotionally care about them so the funny films I can settle into but most of them just seem ludicrous to me. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think I'm done with superhero films. Of the Marvel ones, I think I've seen all the Thor ones; One of the Iron Man ones (not sure which) and maybe another but can't remember. I did watch the Avengers films but it's all a bit meh and samey for me. I haven't seen any of the recent DC ones & the thought of watching 4 hours of the Justice League is my idea of torture. I'll probably just stick with Thor. He's the only character that really interests me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Been catching up with some of the old Ab Fab episodes recently, so watched the Ab Fab movie last night out of pure nostalgia. Some interesting cameos; a few chuckles; a couple of laughs. That's about it. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've not seen the Guardians of the Galaxy films (1 & 2) they might be worth a watch - they are a bit more silly and fun than others in the MCU.

The first GoftheG film is the other one I couldn’t remember & yes it was quite good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Guardians of the Galaxy has a superb mixtape soundtrack, it's become my default fallback when inspiration deserts me. Gap tooth ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Tales from the lodge (Free on Prime) British thriller/horror comedy - "Friends gather at a lodge to commemorate a friend, who drowned in a lake nearby 3 years ago. They tell each other scary stories and suddenly find themselves in one". Never heard of it before but was an entertaining 90 mins. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Watching all The Hunger Games films. Halfway through the fourth/final film and have to say, having never watched them, I’m enjoying them. Can’t yet confirm if my admiration of Miss Lawrence is biasing my enjoyment or not. solid Matt Oakley/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets tonight as on ITV2. I like it for being the most true to the books (IIRC) and for being the most important in terms of the future development of the story. But I am reminded that the casting of some of these young actors was terrible, and having done poorly with Harry in the first film (but now being stuck with him), now we have an unsuitable Ginny Weasley. The same very safe director, Christopher Columbus, on both movies. Having re-read the books very many times I'd give the source material 10/10 here. But the film probably gets an 8/10.

Bob The Badger Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 The Trial of the Chicago 7. Sasha Baron Cohen was outstanding save for an occasional accent slip. In fact pretty much everybody in it acted their tits of, especially Frank Langella who was not as dead as I thought he was. Good to see Michael Keaton back in fine form too. Brilliant and very much a Raich Carter our of 10 and deserves it's Oscar nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the first 2 films capture the books well, as they are aimed at a younger audience. As the books grew with their audience, so too did the films. I like that Chamber is faithful to the book, as did my kids. It has a magical, childlike feel which is lost in the later ones as a darker take is had. Similarly, I think the books are 10/10, but the movies range from 5-8/10 Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Watched “Mr Nice” on Prime tonight. Based (with the usual artistic licence no doubt) on the true story of Welsh drug trafficker Howard Marks. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
