Anyone watched Longlegs? After all the hype about it being brilliant....sat down and ditched it after about 40 minutes. Clunky and rather boring....does it get better after that?
Felt the same way about The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender. Didn't rise to the level of my expectations

It’s got Nicholas Cage.
His career should have ended after this…..

I see the Wish version of Heat has a sequel……
Looks shit.
I’ll probably still watch it though
I watched it today because I read this post (I was going to Conclave) and it was tosh, but mostly watchable tosh.

How much more of a review do you want?Oh sorry almost forgot, titwatch = 0. But I like the main actress in it - she's from the netflix popcorn show 'Who is Erin Carter'.

He had a scraggly beard for this one and refused to pronounce French words correctly. The Brando of our times.

I had remembered a bit of fanfare when it came out and Bonesetta had read it's the best horror in decades. Just had no tension at all, we're probably too dumb to understand it.
-
@Bones yeah not many horrors are much cop these days, too much sfx and less built tension...iirc Longlegs was just a bit slow all through, had potential.

I'm not a horror movie watcher so have no first hand opinions of this but I thought this was a good year for horrors? The movie podcasts I listen to raved about a bunch of them and my mates who enjoy horrors seemed to think it was a good year.
There were so many horrors out this year I'd often struggle to find something to watch at the cinema.
-
@Nepia throw me some names, I love me a good horror...although I think that genre has become much broader, I think Heretic was classed as a horror, but imo, not.

How to go from very promising career to cratering in 120 minutes

Gettysburg
At over four hours, this should have stayed as a TV miniseries. As a movie it's punishment for history students. The amount of needless scenes feels like everyone involved tried desperately to do a defining moment in America's history justice and no one had the balls to do anything worthwhile in the edit.
Overly romanticised in its portrayal, performances contrast between wooden and overacting, and the dialogue is full of poetic monologues.
If you have to watch it you should start at 3:28 into the movie, when the battle actually begins. IMO all the build up is tedious and unless you're an American with a hard on for Civil War re-enactment give the whole thing a miss.
