Gaspode Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Wonder Woman 1984 - one of the worst mainstream films I've ever seen (and I've sat through a lot of dross). So badly made - poor acting, poor plot, vast number of holes in the story, huge number of 'mistakes' (continuity issues, but mainly things that weren't around in 1984). I really hoped that Wonder Woman would die before the end of the film but (spoiler alert!) unfortunately she survived to milk yet more money from the poor saps that watch the DC comics franchise..... 1/10 Wolfie, Mostyn6, maxjam and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks similar, is perfectly functional in a similar vein, but ultimately nowhere near as good. Both written be Stephen King and set in a prison, but don't see much else that links the two to be honest.... Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like a single character, they even managed to make me dislike his kid! Agree. Yeah the film kinda peaked briefly in the middle when the plot unfolded but tailed off badly towards the end as it failed to make the most of its potential ? The beginning of the film was 'meh', as you say none of the characters were likeable and the film very quickly ran out of steam following a brief 'actually this might turn out okay' moment - which was disappointing as the first film was certainly one to build on. Tyrone Mears/10 - if you get the opportunity, leave through a window before you invest to much time! Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @Rev they have a verty similar *feel* in large part because their scripts were both based on King stories, but also because they had the same director in Frank Darabont. There were also a lot of similarities between the Hanks and Robbin characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get shouted down but still wasnt a huge fan, as much as I like David Fincher it feels like it's reputation is better than it actually deserves, all didn't quite hang together for me. Prefer Gone Girl, Se7en and Zodiac but still worth a watch. 7/10 I'd ditto the entire post. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, because I watched 'Jaws' of my own free will, it thinks I like anything with sharks in it and while 'The Meg' was a diverting Jaws knock off, 47 Metres Down: Uncaged is woeful. Put me more in mind of the unforgivable 'Shark in Venice' than Spielberg's masterpiece. 2/10 And yet, Sharknado truly is one of the cinematic wonders of our age, to be named with reverence alongside such classics as Wild Women Of Wonga, Godzilla v The Smog Monster and Plan 9 From Outer Space and as such, watched while drunk, stoned or preferably both.

I'd add Snakes on a Train. Snakes on a Plane was ok though. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractive woman but she really doesn’t do it for me as Wonder Woman - such a crap character - though I did nearly add a bonus point for Kristen Wiig in a very tight 1980s leotard….?

Eddie Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Arctic Mads Mikkelsen is a pilot of a plane which crashes in the Arctic. The film is basically Castaway with little dialogue, more frostbite and less Wilson - and is all the better for it. I loved it. Apart from the ending. 8.5/10 Edited September 2, 2021 by Eddie TimRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just watching "Wrong Turn" on Netflix. A kind of of modern version of Deliverance (a great film) set on the Appalachian trail. Possible the worst film I've seen 0/10. I can't think of a Derby player bad enough to compare it to so, it would be like me pulling on a Rams shirt.

TimRam Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Arq on netflix. Not a bad scifi "time-loop" themed thriller. Mentioning Time-loop is not a spolier as it's in the netflix film description. 7.5/10 Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
