Movie review thread...
-
Lego Batman - Fun, not as good as the Lego Movie though. Robin was a crack up. 6.9 bricks out of 10.
Life - Basically a mash up of Alien, Gravity and the Martian ('realistic' tech like in the latter two movies). Somewhat predictable but still a watchable movie. 6.5 Single Cell Organisms out of 10.

@Nepia it'll look as good as ironman by the time it's done, the one thing Synder cannot be criticised for is how his movies look.
I know I'm in the minority, but I like his films. He does something that looks different to anybody else, and if he was allowed to release the longer cut of BvS that movie would have been better received.
All good for you to like his movies, I still think 300 is a great movie. But, I doubt I could sit through a longer cut of BvS, I think a shorter cut could have improved it ... unless all the extra scenes were of Wonder Woman.
It's worth it, the bits they took out were vital to understanding the plot. Takes away all the head scratching moments, and explains how Lex manipulated everything. It was massive mistake cutting the film.
That said, Lex is horribly miscast, no cut fixes that.

Yeah I'll have to take your word for it as I don't think it's a movie I will revisit anytime soon.

Beverly Hills Cop.
Wife was away, and I love this genre of movies, so cracked open a bag of bluebirds finest with a cheeky scotch and settled. It's still fucking funny. I still laugh at the out and out 80's ness of it - right from the suits to the lines to the cheesy sountrack. Favourite part is still the way Axel Foley cracks up when he's walking down the street in Beverly Hills and starts laughing at the people in the red and black latex suits.
5 Ramones who went to the clinic out of 5 crappy blue chevy nova's.

It's worth it just for the best batman fight ever put on film, that warehouse scene. First time a movie has captured the action as it would be in the comic.

Number two is a surprisingly decent follow up too.
Eddie's finest movie is still Trading Places though.

Patriot's Day. Thought it was brilliantly done. although the tension helped watching it with her indoors who had no clue around any of the details. Right down to it turning into a short documentary at the end of the film. Well worth a watch.
5 leaked suspect photos out of 5....something else.

That was an awesome fight scene. I think they took inspiration from the Arkham video games, which did a great job on the combat.

48 Hrs. is his best movie.

I see that Beverly Hills Cop 4 is in the works.
Has Eddie made a movie for adults in the past 15 years? Seems it's just been all Doctor Doolittle and the Daddy Day Care crap. BHC4 will probably be PG and co-star his kids and an adorable canine companion.

@Tim @mariner4life @MN5 Delirious is his best movie.
I wouldn't really call it a movie though

@Rancid-Schnitzel I've seen Tower Heist. Not really a comic role though.

I didn't mind that one, quite liked the one with Martin Lawrence when they were in jail together too
