Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

2 hours of the Vader scene would do very nicely

Much better than the second, no where near as good as the first - an okay ending to the trilogy. Action packed, entertaining and pretty good directing, which has been a common throughout these movies. The issue with this movie is poor writing and a predictable plot, including a few too many eye rolling moments including Teresa's death at the end, The return was gally was definitely a good surprise if you hadn't read the books, Will Poulter puts out one of the best performances across the trilogy. Couple side characters seem to get lost in the effort to get Teresa back into the fold (Giancarlo Espositio!). Overall, could've been better, but as finales go these days it could've been much much worse

Predators

Worst of the first 3 predator movies. Near impossible to beat the original, and the second was fun and a different B Movie. This predator movie puts us back in a jungle, and no where near matched the height set by the first movie. Too many generic character stereotypes and the action scenes were okay. Pretty strong cast with none of them shone, apart from Topher Grace whose character really surprised me. Saying that I did enjoy the predator and dog designs.

Skyfall

Whilst not up to the same caliber as Casino Royale, it’s definitely a step up from Quantam.
Pacing issues plagues this movie, but it is made up by brilliant acting by the major trio (Barden, Craig and Dench).
Craig really came into his own in this movie and cemented himself as one of the great Bonds. Javier Bardem was scary and great despite not having too much material fo work with. Whilst Dench was again brilliant in her final outing as M.
There was some issues (along with pacing) ie. Q plugging the laptop in, only for it to get hacked 5 mins later (like come on man). But excellent cinematography, particularly the fight in the high rise early in the film, and the Scottish scenes were brilliant to watch and experience.
Definitely one of the best Bond films in a while. 9/10
