Did I enjoy watching this. Hell yeah!! Fun. Great fun.
I think that’s all it’s meant to be and it delivered.
Aqua man & Wonder Woman kinda stole the limelight until Superman pitches in...
If this film were made today, it would be much more violent and perhaps closer to the reality. I continue to hope the world has learnt lessons from the 1st and 2nd World Wars; some days you might think it hasn't!
On the one hand I was thinking damn that bird for charming Paul, who, in a moment of joy is gunned down. Whilst on the other hand I am thinking it was quite likely for the best, it seems he would not have easily handled integration into civilian life again - as his short visit home seemed to show.
Storyline is a little flat, no much really happens, BUT, the special effects team have done an awesome job; very cool!
If nothing else this movie provides a tour/education around the internals of a modern plane.
One mothers insistence her child is alive against all evidence to persuade her otherwise. I believed her, then I doubted her. I love a bit of misdirection
Pitt and Jolie; what a team, what a marriage!
"Oh, and, we've remodelled the house!"
Everyone is back, slightly different than before. The timeline is the same but different. A great action movie, enjoyable and open for another continuation should they decide to do so. It's maybe slightly worrying that Genesis/Cyberdyn/SkyNet have certain parallels to modern day developments; are we on this road to Judgement day
While the newer remake is undoubtedly more dramatic and realistic, this film has something. The final moments are a little disappointing, to have made the journey that far and then fall. Most 'unbelievable' was the self sacrifice of the priest; I would have thought he would at least try to save himself for the benefit of the group
This was an OK movie and far above the quality that has been available to watch over the last 12 months. Plot holes by the bucket load and never was there a more insipid villain in the guise of the insurance underwriter.... what did happen to him in the end? Something gruesome I hope; perhaps that was a cut scene.
I feel there was a missed opportunity with the Ice Road itself, more suspense, more drama. Goldenrod was a bit of a twit really wasn't he... supposedly experienced but actually not so much. The best prop has to be the bobbleheads; every vehicle should have one!
The family survived to face a new world.
These end of the world scenarios are all of a type, despite this there was some built in suspense here. Interest was largely held for the full runtime with a few silly moments thrown in; such as the desperate mother and sun hunt tent by tent....
On balance very entertaining.
Superheroes in another sense; I liked but didn't love the movie. The highlight is McAvoy who gives a masterclass in acting, playing more characters than the total of the other cast!
Quality ending although a little sad; not everything in life ends with a smile
A very effective film. It’s a good reason if anyone ever needed one to not buy dolls. I can’t for the life of me understand why she wanted such a patently ugly thing in the first place.
I know there would be no movie without it but I always end up shouting ‘Move out!!’ I mean. Why stay when all that’s going on. I’d be long gone. :exploding_head:
I think the most scary scene was the lift that wouldn’t move, always opening at the basement and then the climb up the stairs being chased. You’d have a heart attack!
I think here they struggled to really illustrate the passage of time somehow; it didn't feel like he had spent 5yrs in confinement. I know it was terrible conditions and yes he was wrongly imprisoned for murder, but, he was a well known thief; so it seems - just saying!
Yeah it's good. Pacing is slow. Maybe not enough action, though, what you do get is very well done and concieved.
I enjoyed this, if you want a fun 2hrs, nothing serious.
Meg looks kinda real and believable I guess, action is predictable but then thats not really what this movie is about. It must be comedy too, I was laughing as much as shocked!
Statham just has to get his shirt off in any movie he's in, goodness knows how much time that guy spends in a gym or digesting steroids
The biggest shame here, that Q is only seen as a invitee to the wedding and that there seems to be a complete lack of any gadgets
Great appearance by Joanna Lumley, I didn't recognise it as her but those vocal cords cannot lie :)
Most things were squeezed into this film. Fight scenes, car chases, rockets, space, mountains, sea's
Love Blofeld, great character but my goodness that poor cat did not like that explosion; he must have been scratched to pieces!!
So; this is an OK film, quite enjoyable if a little morose in some places. Abba songs are all incredible as always with guest on-screen appearances by Benny and Bjorn
For me, the film clicked into high gear upon the arrival of Ruby [Cher] - on-screen presence in spades and then some with a voice that showed the others for what they are, karaoke at best
If you are going to impersonate someone, you have to be sure they won’t come back and find you!
Now; where was that billiards room??
This was a throughly entertaining movie; all the nicer that the focus was in the UK as opposed to some corner of the United States as is so often the case.
I personally hadn't ever heard of this particular happening, but, it does seem to truly be quite well known. Do I believe it; yeah, I do actually. It seems very convincing to me and I don't think they were making it up. Of course, this has had the 'film' treatment so many aspects are enhanced for entertainment sake.
Two of the oddest things to me. First, the family continued to live in that house during and worst of all after the event. I mean, come on! Secondly, the family lived in that house with a 2ft deep water pool in the cellar from a leak! Get out of here! I am on leaks of any type and they have to be solved; I wouldn't live above a lake!
Good all around fun with very good visuals, some great ‘Hawaii’ backdrops and ... did I say fun?
Great job by the main cast portraying characters which were at poles with what you would generally expect
Fun. Enough said.
I don’t want to be rude in any way at all....
I think Barbra would agree her voice is no longer what it once was, it just not as smooth, buttery and effortless. I was listening and almost expecting her voice to break/fail. It sort of had a dry throat hoarseness to it at times.
Great concert though, despite the above Barbra remains an accomplished and brilliant performer. Many of her most loved tunes were covered together with some new ones.
Charlize is brilliant in this role; love the story told in reverse direction and the superb soundtrack; it's one worth buying!
James McAvoy is an actor I am appreciating more and more; this roles are so diverse and he's so convincing in them all (that I have seen so far)
Remember, if you are in a fight and have no bullets in your gun a bradawl or corkscrew will be just as effective!
Visually astounding.
An achievment for a totally unlikeable character to become likeable.
I need to see what happens next
I approached this movie expecting nothing. I wanted a pure 'session of fun' and wasn't disappointed. If you don't take any of it seriously it's actually a funny movie with excellent special effects.
It really cheered up my weekend, exactly what I wanted.
Chris Hemsworth is for me the run away 'star' of the film, particularly when he is possessed; that was just class
Who doesn't like a "Carry On...", this time we are transported to the maternity hospital.
Some classic one liners and scenes in this film, particularly with Hattie.
The laughs come thick and fast as the hospital is being set-up to be robbed, but, the robbers don't expect a mass of pre and post expectant women to chase them from room to room, especially in the case of Wendy Richards, a character who having departed with one baby in the opening scenes just seems to be staying on as a guest... she's first through the doors to chase the robbers towards the climax of the movie!
Today, people take their 'Right to Vote' in such an unappreciative way, choosing all to often to say "I can't be bothered" or "My vote makes no difference"
Here we see the fight for women to obtain the vote based on a true story of a band of women. Women who wanted the vote, not to be political, but so that as (roughly 50% of the population) they had a say in their own lives
A great film then, largely, with the exception that the involvement of Meryl Streep was so fleeting it was hardly worth her being in the cast list. Seriously, not even 5 minutes. A rousing speech and she is gone. I think they could have used another actress or at least not made such a 'focal' of Meryl being in the movie, she didn't have opportunity to add much after all.
One actor. Two roles. Tom Hardy is brilliant as both Kray twins with a stellar performance
Crime and corruption are a tale as old as time itself. Eventually even the most unassailable of societies figures will tumble. As shown here, one mistake - a failed murder - was all it took to loosen the tongue of a trusted gang member.
This film serves as a window into the past with a convincing portrait of life in '60s East End London. When not watching the Krays in action you can marvel at the cars, clothing, music and buildings of the day.
A few inconsistencies in the facts {although this isn't supposed to be a truthful film...}; although Ronnie states he is Homosexual in the film, he is known to be Bisexual - and - it was also apparently disclosed by Reggie himself that France's death was not in fact suicide but by the hands of his jealous brother.
Slightly different spin on the classic tale, she did well for herself, Cinderella
Not what I was expecting, the pace in parts was a little slow and the events hard to follow; ultimately I enjoyed the movie but I'm mystified as to why they felt they had to inject a Homosexuality subtext; that seemed to have no real reason for being included, other than showing law enforcement stopped at nothing to kill a few innocents.
On entrance to this movie I knew nothing of Ant-man. I did very much enjoy this movie. The hero and bad guy elements, the jokes... yep it all came together well.
The special effects team worked well to get the miniaturisation in this film to look totally real, the succeeded from what I could see on every level, but it human, animal, insect, furniture or mother earth.
I'm only slightly sad the hero had no super power as such, just an awesome suit!
