Movie review thread...

thanks to a heatwave and a hangover i actually just stayed inside and watched movies yesterday. And in my quest for dumb action movies i don't have to think about while i stuff my mouth with junk food i chose
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
Fuck i admire how Jason Statham does not deviate one iota out of his lane. The same character no matter what the movie is called. Make a deadpan wise crack, punch a guy in the throat. collect cheque.
This movie is dumb, and that's what gives it the charm. Hugh Grant appears to love hamming it up as a "villain". Was entertainedBullet Train
Now this was good. Again, dumb. But entertaining. Stupid characters everywhere. Some funny shit. Some fucking hilariously gory deaths.
And now i see the Director has given us some of the most fun action movies of the last few years. Good work that man.Tit watch: Zero in total for both. I mean, there's barely an adult female in Bullet Train.

Not entirely true, in Lock Stock and Snatch he did all of the above except punch anyone in the throat.
I guess in those two he was merging into the lane that he has stayed in ever since.

65
I actually quite like
Kylo RenAdam Driver as an actor…..or maybe it just seems that way in comparison to the other shithouse characters the last three SW movies introduced.Anyway, this sounded quite intriguing……but was shit. Fuck all dialogue ( due to him and the young girl speaking different languages ) and pointless dinosaur chases that we’ve seen a million times already in Jurassic Park. How the hell did they go so far back in time ?
Absolute crapola.
1.5 crash landings out of 5 falling out of trees
yeah, was also a bit disappointed....i wasnt even sure they had gone back in time as they came form a different planet didnt they....and so it may have been 65 million years in the past for us the viewer....but not them?....not im not sure
I was past caring after a few minutes to be honest

@mariner4life fuck you are so right about Statham. I watched both of the Meg movies with my 10 year old boy and he was just classic Statham in both, which was heaps of fun to watch with the boy.

There's a Stath movie I remember where he wasn't full Stath, can't remember what it was called but it was a period piece and it involved pics of Princess Margaret.
Ah fuck, I'll look it up. The Bank Job.
That was quite good. It had Saffron Burrows in it, the chick from the shark film

'The Marvels' will end its run as the lowest-grossing MCU movie of all time.

Yawn. Just don't watch, it's not a genre you're forced to watch. I don't watch horrors and don't listen to yacht rock
because I'm not forced to. -

I don't watch horrors
You should. Even bad ones can be entertaining.

because I'm not forced to.But if it is a genre you like and they fuck it up by jumping on every band wagon of the day, you can be pissed off. I love fantasy, and am a total ME nerd, then they made the abortion that is the rings of power. Not only did it shit on the lore, it was also shit. Same as the latest MCU stuff.
No I'm not forced to watch it, but I can still be pissed with what they spend millions making when there are really good examples out there of how to do it properly

I just don't find the majority of them entertaining. If I did watch them then I'd be posting in this thread whining about them constantly.

You just have to hope they make ones you like again. Just like I live in hope that one day Zac Snyder will finally make a good film to follow up 300.

Have you seen The Marvels? In my top half of MCU films, thoroughly enjoyed it

@Machpants similarly I love the Shannara books, and sure they are LOTR lite, but the series was pathetic woke teen angsty bs, but it was made by MTV, so it was expected.

Comic book movies are retarded bullshit for children and the worst adults in any society. If you are a Marvel "fan" then you need to go to a re-education camp immediately.
That garbage has crowded out adult genre movies for over a decade, it has sucked in new directors and actors with the money, the sooner that pathetic garbage is out of society the better. People pointing at tennis balls in front of a green screen. A cancer upon the arts.

This. 100%.
The sooner we can get back to 80s B movies with a yacht rock soundtrack the better. 😬

The only superheros I like are Batman and Iron Man.
I guess I have a thing for billionaires fighting for justice.
I’m also probably bitter because Marvel is more popular than Star Wars now.

Just watch a Paul Schrader movie already ...
