What was the last film you watched?

[Mystic Mock]

I've been watching quite a few Movies lately that I've lost track of which one was the last one that I watched.:joker:

From my best to worst:

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: A Wakening Of The Trailblazer - It's not as good as the TV Series imo, but it is fun for what it is, and Saji finally had a good scene when he was at the Hospital with Louise and the Aliens. The ending could've been more satisfying though. 7.5/10

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - I liked Luke's stuff in the Film as it showed natural growth for the character three decades on from the original trilogy, so I personally don't get the controversy around his character in this particular Film personally (especially considering who he was trying to take action against) and Mark Hamill delivered his best acting performance as Luke in this Film imo, you can see how far that he has come as an actor compared to the original trilogy performances from him. The issues for me in this Film were the Rey and Kylo Ren scenes being like some sort of Star Wars meets Buffy/Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. And Finn's plot being filler for the most part of the Film. 4.5/10

A Quiet Place - I don't even know where to begin with this, but trust the critics to like a Horror Film that's very soft on being an actual Horror Film. But the most offensive part was the constant lack of respect for it's own concept. 0/10 I honestly can't think of a kind thing to say about this Film.

[Babayaro.]

^ 0/10....

Not to be rude, but that's laughable

[Babayaro.]

Into The Wild - 10/10


:love::bawling:

[Tom4784]

1917.

Technically brilliant but quite boring until the last 30 minutes.

[Oliver_W]

The Turning - 4/10

The lead 4 all gave great performances and the atmosphere was good, but the film itself was boring af. I don't even get the ending.

[Withano]

I hardly ever come on here

But I NEED TO recommend ‘extra ordinary’ (two words) on Netflix.

It’s ducking hilarious.

[Oliver_W]

Errementary - 9/10
Absolutely loved it. It wasn't what I was expecting, it was more of a drama-fantasy than horror, but it was great. I loved the demon character, his voice was awesome.
(I watched it dubbed rather than subbed)

Wrinkle In Time - 1/10
Borderline unwatchable, it basically took a dump all over a decent kids' book.

Doolittle - 6 or 7 out of ten, not quite sure
RDJ is always awesome, and I love me some talking animals! But I preferred Eddie Murphy's version overall.

Oldboy - 7.5/10

I like Quarantine but it's hard not to as it's pretty much REC in American. Quarantine 2, however, is awful.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but REC 3 is at a wedding and 4 is on a ship?

I'd never seen the original so don't have anything to compare it to, but I quite liked this one. I don't really have much to say beyond that, the kills were cool and not too abundant like some 80s era slashers, you could care about the characters.

Suicide Squad (2016) 7/10.

Way better than I remembered. I'd had only watched it once back in 2016 at the cinema but it's not that bad tbh. Leto's Joker also wasn't as bad as I remembered.

De Niro was more cartoonish than frightening. And I can never take to Juliette Lewis. She is so WEIRD in all her performances.

:joker: Yeah, she either works in a role or she's a disaster. No in-between.

[Niamh.]

Cape fear didn't age well for me either, rewatched it a couple of years back and thought the same. Also (this might be controversial) I do like DeNiro but I think he plays the same character in every movie he's in, whether he's the good guy or the bad guy. I think there are much better actors out there

Rewatched Batman Begins yesterday, I actually thought it was better than I remembered. I didn't know much Batman lore when I watched it the first time (e.g. I had no idea who Ra's al Ghul was or his significance as a DC character so found him a bit random as a villain when it was first released. Very much enjoyed it this time round, armed with a lot more Batman general knowledge. I shall be watching Dark Knight next week sometime :hee:.

[Oliver_W]

Funnily enough:
Batman: Bad Blood 8/10
Animated movie. Includes an origin story for Batwoman. Batman has disappeared, so Nightwing, Robin, Batwoman, and Batwing investigate. Ra's daughter (Robin's mother) Tahlia is causing shti with her League of Shadows.

Batman: Dark Knight Returns 8/10
Also animated. A "what if" future where Batman retired after Joker killed Jason, the second Robin. He's lured out of retirement and is joined by a new Robin, Carrie Kelley, whose vibrancy and optimism gives him a new lease of life. But the Joker is also back, and worse than ever... Also includes a better Batman V Superman fight than the movie of the same name!

edit: as a fan of Batman and general DC comics, I prefer the animated movies to the live action ones because they generally are either direct(ish) adaptions or otherwise fit into the "canon" with no difficulty.

I'm the same too. When I watched it back in 2012, I enjoyed it but wasn't ''wowed'' by it like I had been with Batman Begins and Dark Knight. It's a film that gets better with age.

Nowadays I can't decide if I prefer that or Batman Begins after TDK. What an amazing trilogy.

Yeah I said earlier in the thread, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Batman Begins which I had only rated "OK" at the time. I do think that having more general DC knowledge now (knowing about Ra's al Ghul, League of Assassins/Shadows, Talia al Ghul) makes a major difference too, as I didn't really know who Neeson was supposed to be as a villain in Begins and I had absolutely NO idea who Talia was meant to be in Rises, it seemed like a completely random twist :joker:. I had also completely forgotten the "Pit" twist...

That the child who climbed out was Talia al Ghul, not Bane... and the significance of Bane not being able to make the climb...

Just masterful stuff. 'cept Bane's voice. Although I do a good impression of it and like to troll my daughter with it because she has no interest in seeing the film, and has no idea what I'm doing. Haha. "Stop doing that weird voice ffs!!"

[Oliver_W]

I've not seen Batman Begins, does
Tahlia seduce Bruce? That's how Damian/Robin was conceived :laugh: Is the Pit the Lazarus Pit, or the sewer thing Bane was trapped in as a kid?

I've not seen Rises in absolute ages either ...

Talia isn't in Batman begins, just Ra's al Ghul. the pit is...

where Talia escaped from as a kid, her mother having been thrown down there while pregnant. You're lead to believe it was Bane for most of the film, the twist at the end being that it was Talia, who had in the film been posing as someone else (a business philanthropist) that Bruce was ... friendly with. Bane was her "protector" in the pit and got ****ed up holding back the inmates who were trying to get her, while she climbed up and escaped, later coming back with Dad & assassins to liberate Bane (all smooshed and needing the mask) and slaughter everyone else.

Although in the Nolan trilogy's "realistic" world (there's no superpowers or mystic stuff) I would guess that the pit prison is supposed to represent the Lazarus pit. You're "as good as dead" while you're down there, there's supposedly no way to escape, but both Talia and then later Bruce are "resurrected" when they manage to do the impossible and climb out.

Artemis Fowl

This film is only on for an hour and half and it felt like double that. Everything about it is attrocious. The writing is bad, EVERY performance is utterly woeful, the directing is shoddy, the CGI and special effects were laughable, and nothing about it resembles the books it's adapted from at all. It's remarkable how bad of a misfire this film is, there is nothing good about it and the actors seemed as bored filming it as I was watching it.

It's just terrible beyond words and nothing short of disrespectful of the source material it was supposedly adapted from. It lacks the charm and wit of the books and the characters are only the characters in name only, it's overly sanitised and it's riddled in cliches and tropes and whoever wrote the script lacks even a basic understanding of the material they're supposed to be adapting.

A 1/10 is too generous, a 0/10 doesn't quite do the job either. A positive number scale is too good for this dog****.

Scream 4 (2011)

A major improvement on its predecessor. The deaths were executed well, opening scene was intense and genius, acting was good and the suspense was excellent. The only criticism I can give is the killers' motive. It's too weak and lazy. Jill wanting to kill her own cousin out of jealously because of her fame? :umm2: They could've picked so many other better motives and they picked that?

That being said, Emma Roberts was fantastic. She really made me hate her. A true psycho.

Hereditary

It's a film to watch purely for Toni Collette's performance, which is sensational.

As a horror film, I thought it was only good but very far from great. The plot starts off as very intriguing and atypical but it devolves into something all too typical too quickly and the interesting mental health aspects of the story give way to something we've all watched plenty of times before. Technically it's a well shot film with some interesting perspective shots based around dollhouses but even then, it's difficult to recommend this film if you aren't interested in Toni Collette (which should be a crime, tbh).

For a film that was so acclaimed, I expected more. As a performance piece, it's great, as a film, it's perfectly watchable and nothing more.

I'd just about give it a 7/10 for Toni's performance and the intriguing first half.

I have finally watched Joker and have to conceded that, whilst I don't think it's a good Joker origin story, it is nonetheless an excellent standalone character movie. Just exceptionally well shot and acted. The time evaporated and I don't think either of us (me and my wife) took our eyes off the screen once. Review contains spoilers :hee:

I'll happily go with the head-Canon that Arthur isn't the Batman villain "The Joker", but that the villain was inspired by the name and aesthetic. He's just too well explained to be The Joker... You can actually totally understand why he's so angry, and also that he's genuinely mentally ill due to head trauma, and he has SOME sort of morals in picking his targets. The "true" Batman-Joker dynamic relies on Joker being an agent of pure chaos. The element of sheer randomness and unpredictability is precisely why he's the biggest Batman villain (as Batman, the "great detective", works on logic and a strict code... He can never predict The Joker and thus finds him very hard to stop).

But again yes I'll conceded, as a standalone "inspired by" movie, it is excellent.

Easy 9/10

The reason it loses that mark;

It spoon-fed the reveal that his relationship with the neighbour was imagined,which was unnecessary and clumsy, to the extent that I found it disappointing. I'd have preferred they left it at her shock at seeing him in her apartment, even leaving that entire element semi-ambiguous. They didn't need to do the "comparison flashbacks" showing that she wasn't there... The implication was enough. A stand-out flaw in an otherwise almost perfect movie.

Best way I can describe it is that they went

*nudge nudge*... *whisper*... that was all in his head...

"Ahh yes we suspected as much :worry: wow"

*... tap tap tap...* she was never really there guys...

"Yes, we got that..."

*shouts* OMG GUYS LOOK HE IMAGINED IT ALL!!!

Nightcrawler (2014)

Holy crap what a film this was! A jam packed thriller with so much suspense. I can't even begin to express just how amazing Jake Gyllenhaal was as Lou Bloom. What a terrifying psychopath he was. I can't believe he wasn't nominated for an Oscar.

Doesn't make sense that he would have killed her, through the whole thing he specifically only attacked people who he saw as "part of the problem" e.g. letting one of his coworkers walk out like there was no problem after killing the other guy. Even helped him with the lock lolz.

She was nice/concerned even when he was sat there in her apartment... At that point doesn't make sense that he would have killed her.

I guess I can see where there would be debate over aspects of their relationship. At that point his mental breakdown is "peaking" and l, I suppose, you could argue that it was THAT scene in her apartment he imagined, his mind tearing away any positive aspects of his life and erasing them from his past... Hence the flashbacks where she vanishes. Is he remembering the truth, or is he over-writing genuine positive memories with sad, lonely ones that support his crumbling world? Is it a mix of the two?

An interesting take I guess. Hmmmm.

[Niamh.]

The cinematographer & Director answered that question already and said that he didn't kill them

I watched the hijacking film 7500 on Amazon Prime.

It's quite interesting, done in a realistic style. Not a film of twists and turns, and there is only two sets. I actually thought about it a bit after it was finished. 7/10.

Yeah, Arthur's origin is pretty much incompatible with the "real" Joker.

Joker's white skin, green hair, and red lips were caused by him falling into a vat of chemicals. In the current continuity he had been a gang leader up to that point, "Red Hood One", whose true identity was unknown. But in the previous continuity he was a family man who had been blackmailed into joining the Red Hood Gang, and was driven made by his own reflection after he fell into the chemicals.

Sort of, although alcohol plays a much bigger part in his life than cocaine. But yeah same principle, struggling to accept his addiction etc.

It's more that the airline, and manufacturer knew there was a fault with the plane, but would rather put the blame on 'pilot error'.

"The Invisible Man" - 7.5/10

Offred Vs Predator. It was a good watch, the villain is a little underdeveloped but maybe that's to be expected given that he's invisible for 95% of the film. I think it would have been better if there had been a 20-30 minute "set up" of June Cecilia actually having to live with Adrian, to give us a chance to actually see him as the villain rather than just hearing about how bad he was. Would have increased the cathartic value of the ending. Would have bumped it to an 8.5/10 for me.

The Endless - Only realised afterwards that this is a sequel to something? I think anyway. It was pretty strange, I can't decide whether I liked it or not

I'm here for the dramatic sequel where she's sold it to the Chinese, but the US military have seized the suit that the police have in evidence, and both have a massive army of invisible soliders :flutter:

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Nowhere near as amazing as the first, but an entertaining sequel nonetheless. The volcano scene was breathtaking, I couldn't keep my eyes off it. I do hate the twist about the little girl being a clone. Cloning Dinosaurs I get, but people? :umm2: .

The lack of T-Rex annoyed me as well. The T-Rex played an important role in the first film's climax, but here he's sidelined. We see him in the opening scene and after he's captured, we don't see him again until the end when he eats the bad guy.

Speaking of the opening, what a scene that was! I did feel sorry for that guy who got eaten by the mosasaurus. Imagine celebrating after you've just narrowly avoided a T-Rex, only to be killed by another more powerful Dinosaur seconds later. Ouch indeed.

Overall I did enjoy this film.

7/10.

I really enjoyed it, I think it suffers from some audio issues in the first half but aside from that I thought it was excellent. The story is great, the music is superb and it's just an excellent musical that tells an interesting story in a way that's relatable and accessible to anyone really.

I do hope they get to do an adaptation of it one day since I think Act 1 in particular would really benefit from being able to portray the american revolution in more detail than they obviously could on stage.

I watched the Joel Schumarker Batman films yesterday for the first time in absolute years.

I'd forgotten that they turned Bane from a scheming villain who had taken over Gotham and broke Batman's back into .. the Hulk? I have no excuse for liking those movies as much as I do,when it took me literal years to get over how the Snyderverse screws things over :joker:

The most recent comics storyline with Bane would make a good movie:

Alfred was recently killed by Bane. He'd taken Alfred captive, and told the Batfamily that if any heroes publicly appeared, he'd kill him. So they either went to do hero things elsewhere, or went "sleeper agent", living in Gotham under their own names until it was time.

Bane was controlling the city via gangs led by the other villains. Alfred got a message out to Bruce, lying that he'd escaped. Bruce sent Robin in to deal with Bane. But the current Robin is like 13 (and Bruce's biological son), so he was overpowered and Alfred's neck was broken right in front of him.

The Batfam eventually won, of course, but Alfie is still dead and it estranged Bruce from Robin...

Some of that might be muddled as I didn't like the main writer at the time so I was dipping in and out :laugh: but the "broad strokes" are there!

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - eh, a bit crap, it jumps in head first and the tone of the film ends up all over the place. The main girl looks really young and I couldn’t take her seriously in the role when she looked like she should have been in a Disney film instead. I think it could have been done a lot better. 4/10

American Graffiti and More American Graffiti.
I'd seen the first one a couple of times before but had no idea that they'd made a sequel. I enjoyed the second one much more... it dealt with how the character's lives changed in the face of 1960s civil unrest, police heavy handedness and the Vietnam war. 8/10 for the first one, 9/10 for the second.

It involves all the characters from the first one, except Richard Dreyfus. I'd recommend it.

[Tom4784]

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

It was mostly quite boring, most of the characters stand around waiting for the big third act battle to happen and there's very little content and story in it at all. It also relies on all the characters in it being quite dumb for the plot to even happen in the first place. I thought the first one was a passable way to spend 90 mins but this was torturous.

1/10

It had pacing issues but I didn't find that too unbelievable, she's a young horror writer after all, it's not unbelievable that her mind would go straight to the supernatural.

I agree. I thought his performance was great in ROTS. There were some scenes that he could've worked on (his reaction after Mace Windu's death was painful) but I thought he did a great job, he's way overhated.

[Tom4784]

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

It's name is odd to the point of distraction but it's such a warm and, at parts, devastating story that it's sad it's name will send the wrong impression.

You might think this is a film about cannibals, but it isn't. Instead it's about a boy who finds out, via her diary, that a girl in his class has what is essentially terminal pancreatic cancer (they call it an illness in the film but it seems like cancer to me). The boy is aloof and a loner but the girl is vibrant and full of life and, since he's the only person who knows about her condition, he reluctantly helps her fulfill her bucket list.

So far, so The Fault In Our Stars, or so you might think but in actuality, the film's focused less on getting you to cry and is more focused on celebrating life and the time we all have on this planet.

It's sweet and sentimental and also fairly dark at points, my only real issue with it (and it's kind of a big one) is that the ending hinges on an obnoxious character who only gets more obnoxious throughout the film and it falls a little flat at the end because of it but everything before that is enough for me to give it an 8/10.

[Tony Montana]

Green Lantern (2011)

Miles better than I remember. I've only seen this once back in 2011 when it was released and I hated it, but it's not as bad. I still hate that the uniform was CGI. Reynolds was decent as Hal Jordan.

Mark Strong's Sinestro is still amazing. By far the best thing about the film. He really was born to play him. It's a shame there wasn't a sequel where he was the main villain.

7/10.

[Tom4784]

Perfect Blue

This film is horrific, haunting, and despite being over 20 years old, all too relevant in today's world. The film is about an popstar who quits music for acting but she's stalked and harassed by a fan who wants her to return to music at all costs and so he gaslights her during a shoot for a TV series that ends up ****ing with her psychologically.

It's not a film I'd ever watch again but I can't deny that it's an excellent although greatly uncomfortable film.

9/10

Just watched the four hunger games movie... got worse with each one ..

That last was seemed to spend most of the time in very dark conditions and it was so difficult to see what was going on ... what’s the idea of that anyone ?

Dumbo (1941 Movie) - I like the message that the Film is sending out, but I just didn't find it very entertaining to watch.

I think I would've faired better with it if Dumbo actually had a personality, and the villain had more development and screentime.

Overall I'm scoring the Film 4/10.

We’ve downloaded the new version of Dumbo .. hopefully it’s decent. I tend to prefer the LIVE action versions to the cartoons .

Although Hathaway didn't annoy me like she normally does so that's something.

...I watched The Old Guard yesterday and thought similar with Charlize Theron, that not even she could save it and she could pretty much save anything...I mean the concept was a good one, I think...but it was just really badly made even though Charlize made it bearable to see it through to the end...probably a 5/10 as well...

[Tom4784]

Insidious

I liked it, it doesn't do anything revolutionary but the aesthetic and the fact that it's basically all practical effects was pretty great. It also features the second best jumpscare I've ever seen (The first being the car scene in Haunting of Hill House).

7/10

[Tom4784]

Maquia

It broke my heart a bit. It's about an immortal girl that adopts a mortal child and the struggles that come with such a situation. Saying too much would spoil it but it's a beautiful film.

9/10

Tenet.
It was amazing! If you're looking to be entertained, then you will be.
I love Christopher Nolan, he's one of my favourite directors and he never disappoints.
Love Robert Pattinson and I can't wait to see him on The Batman.

9/10 for entertainment alone

[Ammi]

..Hearts of Atlantis, because it’s on Netflix atm...I can’t really say anything about the movie without giving away some of the plot, which I won’t do...it wasn’t spectacular, it wasn’t sensational or outstanding in any way....it was just a very sweet and sentimental small town coming of age story in many places... but with some quite typical more shocking Stephen King moments as well....7/10...:love:..

[Niamh.]

I really loved that film too Ammi :love:

Tenet : hhhhmmmm I didn't love it, it was decent action etc but if we're going to compare it to Inception it doesn't even come close, Inception was mind bending but you could understand it, with tenet, I mean I got roughly what was going on but it was all very convoluted and really trying too hard and nonsensical (or as James said maybe I'm just thick :p although I don't usually find it hard to follow stuff like this)

As well as that what it was lacking (again especially when you compare it to Inception) was good characters, a decent view into their back stories and the way you feel sympathetic and invested in them. I didn't really care that much about any of them and none of them were developed very well, you didn't come away knowing that much about them which makes you care less.

What to score it, I'm tempted to go with a 5.5 but maybe I'll give it a 6 for the action

[Marsh.]

Is it like Looper?

[Niamh.]

Is it like Looper?

No I loved Looper

[Niamh.]

I am reading other reviews and just wanted to steal part of this one from imdb, it's what I mean about the characters

For all Inception's plot twists and major action set pieces, the movie was held together by the pathos surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio's character who was grieving for his dead wife and the movie had a resounding message about letting go of the past and living in reality.

With Tenet, the story-telling components are gimmicky and, although they come together to tell a complex story, I lost interest around the 90-minute mark. What good is a sophisticated plot if you care nothing for the characters? This movie, like a lot of Nolan movies, is built on one big, speculative concept which requires you to go with it to a large extent. But there is little effort to really make you invested in the characters or the world before that concept is introduced.

Early reviews are praising John David Washington's charisma, but I can't say I saw that myself. Washington isn't bad, he does the best with what he's given, but his character (who is known simply as 'The Protagonist') is under-developed. There is also praise coming for Robert Pattinson and I will admit that Pattinson's performance may be the highlight of the movie, but that isn't saying much. Like 'The Protagonist', Pattinson's 'Neil' is a mysterious character without any clear back-story or motivation. A movie could work if one of the two leads were like that - but not both. Perhaps if they made Washington's Protagonist more grounded and relatable, then Neil would work with his wry, Christopher Hitchens-esque, mystique. Alternatively, if they gave Neil a fleshed-out backstory and motivation then he could have served as a focal point for the audience to see the more sublime Protagonist. Instead, both characters are effectively superheroes with ultra-competence but poorly fleshed out development and motivations.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6723592/reviews?sort=helpfulnessScore&dir=desc&ratingFilter=1

and also this :

I expect a number of people who consider themselves to be far smarter than the average man will attempt to explain away the nonsensical idea of inverted movement through time. Aswell as the ability to fight someone who is moving forward through time, but I found the entire thing to be a convoluted mess.

I spent a large part of the film trying to work if they had given the main character a name at any point.

..Safety Not Included...because it’s on Netflix atm and because it was produced by the same people who produced Little Miss Sunshine, one of my all time favourite movies...:love:.. it’s listed as a comedy but it also has mystery and Sci Fi and romance elements as well...and the characters have so much depth and are so gorgeously likeable...I won’t say any of the plot but it’s based on something in an actual news story and I would say..8.5/10....just delightful..:love:...

[Ammi]

...I See You and Da 5 Bloods, because they’re both on Netflix atm...both very different but both very watchable...I See You gave a few jump moments, it’s hard to say anymore without giving away stuff, so I won’t...Da 5 Bloods is one of those incredibly impactful movies that leaves you so filled with many thoughts...and the relatively short screen time that Chadwick Boseman had was just filled with what a tremendous actor he was, he was obviously determined that’s how he wanted to be remembered...:love:...

...I See You, I would say 7/10...Da 5 Bloods, I would say 9/10....
