Not going to sugar-coat this: That looks shit. Like the writers at Disney got lazy. Even though I'm making allowances for my bad mood right now, I can't accept children cutting straw scarecrows is a match against an enemy that can amass an interstellar (I assume) fleet.
Sounds like someone missed the battle of Endor back in 83

lol I think the writers of John Carter will be feeling like they are ahead of someone

Really enjoyed it
3.5 twists out of 5 turns

No, and even as a child I hated the ewoks.

Yeah, that was much better than I thought it would be.

@antipodean Just once I would like to see an interstellar fleet advance upon a planet protected by a rag-tag group of rebels, and vaporize the surface with relativistic velocity asteroids.

Surprisingly, one of the best movies I've seen this year was Godzilla Minus One. The boy is a huge Godzilla fan so went to see it with him and was blown away by how good it was. Don't need to be a Godzilla fan to enjoy it. It's Japanese with subtitles though.

The Empire might have done that if Admiral Ozzel hadn’t come out of hyperspace so close to the system.
Honestly, he’s as clumsy as he is stupid.

I had to check it wasn't a remake of the seminal '77 Roger Donaldson film. It isn't, looks good and will watch

The first movie in the Japanese reboot series was also amazing so shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise!

Great watch
A very understated but compelling thriller4 say hellos out of 5 wave goodbyes

Caught up on a couple of films on my (long) film bucket list this week.
Sunset Blvd from 1950. Blew me away. Simply brilliant film which has to be one of the best about Hollywood ever made. Acting, writing, design, photography and music all outstanding from one of the great directors, Billy Wilder. Don't be put off by the fact it's over 70 years old - its as fresh as ever.
In the Realm of the Senses (1976). Been recommended to me by lots of people but I thoroughly disliked it. Well made and directed (Nagisha Oshima) but just provocative for the sake of it. Over-blown and underwhelming
-
First one. Spot on everything. Just a great film.
Second one. Soft porn masquerading as art house. Not worth getting the Kleenex out for.

@Mr-Fish I had only seen the American franchise, which is fun as an action monster bash shit up type movie, so I wasn't expecting any kind of deep story line, but Minus One is a genuinely amazing film
Definitely recommend you catch the one that came out a few years back, Shin Godzilla - very similar vibes!

As good as any film that I have seen. Absolutely brilliant.
