Maybe there could be a separate thread for Bond gobblers?
You’re not in charge here. Just relax and take some viagra. It might make you Roger Moore

Not the first time and hopefully won’t be the last time that I show my appreciation for Vince Vaughn and posit that he’s vastly underrated
You’ll laugh, you’ll get dusty eyes, and be happier for watching it

Four Lions. Darkly comic. Terrifically funny
4 1/2 exploding Crows out of 5 exploding Pandas

Brilliant movie
Need to revisit it

Warfare
Bold choice from the director et al. to portray a realistic take of modern warfare, starting with the mundane boredom of manning an OP to the chaos of rapid action.
Probably not what the average movie goer expects to see from a war movie, but this is a very good realistic take.

@MiketheSnow I thought it had a cool ending though, different to most in the genre, shame about the previous 170 mins...

Yeah the credits were the best thing about it

Even for a movie of that era it was absolutely ridiculous that Dr No summoned someone to his island and his master plan to kill Bond was to.........put a spider in his hotel room.......
Dr No was a crazy mastermind disfigured, monstrous and lucky to be alive. And his limbs were spider like. Thematic stupid death is a thing! Yes I had all the books when young(er).
It is critics like you who are making all the evil criminal masterminds leave showbusiness. Unless they are ex-wives with plenty of mushrooms.
PS being killed by a spider in NZ would be a great murder weapon idea as no one would believe it.. -

Damn that's harsh, I wanted a straight down the line gangster film, which it isn't, but on it's own merits I can't see how it only gets a 1 Dusk. 1 Dusks (or 1 Slow Mos) are reserved for Zac Snyder films (except 300).

@Nepia I gave it a generous 3 what the fuck was that out of 5 wannabe Dusk til Dawn

I can't remember what I gave it, but I think I'm in a similar camp. It did pretty well in a year when it seems people are just not turning up at the box office. MI hasn't even hot 400m yet and Thunderbolts got rave reviews by fans and critics alike and is still lagging behind the latest disliked by most Captain America. Covid really screwed with the cinema business (not helped by decisions to release movies on to streamers concurrently or quickly).

It’s like the ‘black’ Western that came out last year or the year before
So overhyped because of the cast

Finally saw the Captain America film with Harrison Ford getting his hulk on. Can't rate it as it did not hold my attention at all. Not sure I could find anything at all to recommend about it.
