Looks good.
Looks good but like a lot of reboot/remake type things also has the massive potential to be utterly shit, I only saw the first two, the trailer indicates hes been locked up for 40 years ? something isn't quite right there.....
Also is old mate Michael Myers like Jason from Friday the 13th ie unkillable by normal means ? hes been shot, blown up, burnt etc and just seems to brush it off like nothing.

Apparently it ignores all the films that have happened since the first one and this is a sequel to the first film. The new terminator film is supposed to be along the same lines , picking up after terminator 2 .

After the latest one I can confirm that Terminators plot has more holes than a golf course full of swiss cheese. Might be interesting to see how it is although I can only assume Linda Hamilton looks like hammered shit these days,
Mind you, Bond ignored continuity pretty early in the piece with him meeting Blofeld in "You only live Twice" then them not recognising eachother in "On her majestys secret service "

A Terminator that wouldn't know what toilet to use if it needed a dump. Glad the SJWs are all over this one

I don’t know but I’m starting to think we need a seperate Bond thread so all the posts about the effete British version of Bourne stop cluttering up this thread.

Ģet fucked. Bond has been going strong for 56 years. Do you think Bourne will last that long? They can't help that they had to have crappy 60s sfx at times.
Linda Hamilton looks like a triggered lesbo at a Trump rally.

Bohemian rhapsody, really enjoyed it . The timeline is probably a bit fucked up to squeeze everything in but not in an Oliver Stone “ this bears no resemblance to reality” way . The actor playing Mercury is superb , the guy he co starred in the pacific with is in it too and was quite irritating with his mugging at the camera. Nice to see Mike Myers get a Wayne’s World reference in there too.
5 terrible terrible haircuts out 5
Really really stoked that fluffybunny Borat didn’t play Mercury

Everyone I know that has seen this has really enjoyed it, flaws and all and they haven't necessarily been big Queen fans.
The reviews seem to be way too precious. -
Bohemian Rhapsody – I’ve never been huge fan of Queen, however when you watch this movie you realise how good a band they were and how awesome their music is.
I don’t read the critics but from the posts previous and talking to a mate it sounds like they haven’t been too kind to the film. But, critics never like by the numbers biopics, by the numbers other genres but not biopics.
I actually liked how the movie was divided up by songs (being written/produced) as a framing device – and the Live Aid scenes are great.
I didn’t have a problem with the Pacific guy like @jegga did and I thought all the cast did a decent job at portraying the other members (sometimes I forgot it wasn’t Brian May and only an actor).
Agree with @jegga's rating and like @Crucial everyone I know who has seen it has enjoyed it. to the critics.
-
The main criticisms from the comments I've read are about obvious timeline errors and liberties taken around the conflict/relationships in the band. The Live Aid scenes are meant to be spectacular so I'm looking forward to seeing that on the big screen. I watched that live in 1985 and have seen it numerous times since then.

I'll definitely watch this but I'm undecided if I see it on the big screen or wait for the home release.
Definitely big screen, some of the shots of the concerts etc are really worth seeing on the big screen.

I've just watched gattaca, again, with the missus this time. Not as 'cool' and/or thought provoking as I remember. Still a very well acted film, but hard to really enjoy as the protagonist (Ethan Hawke) comes across as a tosser and is so unlikeable.
Still 4 useful genes out of 5

It's a movie not a documentary. I do wonder about critics going into a 2 hour movie and expecting it to be completely factual.
As @jegga says, big screen is the way to go.

@nepia The comments I read were from Queen fans not critics. I realise it isn't a doco but with both Brian and Roger involved you would have thought they would be leaning towards factual not fiction.
Ah right, I just assumed you were talking about the critics. As I said I was never a huge fan and just like with other biopics e.g. Straight Out Of Compton etc a movie like this just serves as a springboard for me to do my own research into this.
