Oppenheimer was a brilliant watch, an awesome experience. Highly recommend it

The woman king is definitely worth a watch, I'd give it a 10.
Had a decent story line and the acting was brilliant

Anyone already watched Creed III? I don't know how to describe it, it's just that I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous two. Predictable, occasionally cheesy, and don't have enough emotional punch.

If you are looking for a really good action movie, then I highly recommend Extraction 2. The first one was good too, but this is even better.

Oh yeah Ed01. The one-long-fluid scene, whatever they are calling it, they just brought it to the next level in this one. it is just action from start to finish. story-wise, I like the first more than this, but that is not me saying it in a bad way. this one is a bad-ass action movie. they should make another one. they should!

Anyone have watched Fast X?

I only managed to sit through the first 30 minutes plus of it. I thought I will continue watching the rest when I have the time later, but I'm certain I won't.

Nah not yet - watched the 9th one, each one gets crazier than the last lol - space in a car? Really?

I really enjoyed the 5th one personally - big heist, flying through the streets pulling a safe? Fun stuff haha - they are just getting madder and madder these days

i'm with you Bill. I really love Fast Five. At that time I thought it was like a reboot, and thought they did it well. Furious 6 started all this madness, though not as ridiculous as the rest of the sequels. But now it just reaches to the point that, hmm I don't know what to say. Going to space in 9 was just too much, man. And this 10, I won't be bothering to even finish it.

I was at my in laws', and I was quite bored, and decided to finish it just to kill some time.

Dom drives his car out of a flying plane, drops his car onto two military armoured cars. These two cars destroyed, but Dom's Charger able to continue driving to chase Reyes.

Oh my god. The level of absurdity is just next level. I think for those who are just looking for bombastic action scenes, and lots of explosions, will definitely enjoy this film. I won't lie that I enjoyed the action part of this film. But for Fast and Furious fans, I believe most of them will be truly disappointed of what this franchise has become.

And somehow I feel that Fast X in particular is just about Diesel's character. I think that's not fair. FF is always about the group (or the familia), and not too much on any individual character.

John Wick: Chapter 4

Consequences:-D
Good movie, enjoyable watch and all out action as is the thing with the franchise. Just had something new or something rare missing in the action sequences for me but still, a good movie.

And Donnie Yen's character was just so freaking cool and enjoyable in my view.

What say you Tris?

{Ed001's Note - I loved it not sure it needed anything new, just needed to be done well and it was.

As for Donnie Yen, personally I am sick of seeing him play a Zatoichi rip-off, he has done it so many times and it is played out for me. But that might be a consequence (see what I did there?) of my addiction to martial arts movies, so I have seen hundreds of people play that character. I would have just loved him to be Donnie Yen along the lines of Ip Man Yen to be honest. The character I actually didn't mind, I just wanted him to be full on in the fight scenes as I love Donnie Yen.

I though Dacascos was the best villain in the series personally. His character as a Wick fanboy was funny.

Overall though, I loved the film and, to be fair, every film in the series. It is probably, imo, the best movie series of all time. Which is some going when you consider Keanu is a terrible actor!}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

17 Apr 2023 14:06:40 I am thoroughly looking forward to this one I love Donnie Yen, and like you Tris, think Ip Man is amongst his best work Dacascos was class in the last one, I like him as well I've heard Scott Adkins is in this one? But in a fat suit? Is that true and does it work? He is amazing in some of the fight films he has been in, brilliant in Ip Man 4 and is just class as Boyka Like I said, cannot wait to see this one - so far they have been great and I do love martial arts films - just need to get Michael Jai White amped up as a villain too!

{Ed001's Note - the Adkins role is an odd one. It didn't really make the most of his martial arts skills but it was an interesting character. I would have liked to have seen him as the main bad guy, back to his Boyka best, rather than that side role he got. Apparently it was Yen who desperately wanted him in, so he was kind of shoehorned into a role just to get him in.

I just hope Continental lives up to the first 4, not sure when it is due out, but I will defo go to watch that too.}

Another film I highly recommend to all of you; Top Gun Maverick.

There are lot of references from the first film, I believe to relive the nostalgia of the original Top Gun. The action sequences (mostly flight sequences of course) are breath-taking. Me and my wife chose to buy the cheapest tickets. We should go for the IMAX. I think we will enjoy it even more if its on IMAX.

I just came back from cinema watching The Batman.

Indeed like everyone is saying, this feels so different compared to previous Batman films, Nolan's films included.

I thought after the end of Nolan's trilogy, it would be difficult to make another. This new take and new direction for a Batman film, wow, it feels so fresh.

The car chase scene, mainly the scene before the chase started, when the Batmobile's engine is winding, wow! There were a few more scenes that made me came to my wife and said to her ear "wuuuuuuu-wowwww".

This is an awesome film.

I just got round to watching this, did it in two sittings. The life of a parent! But this being three hours was absolutely the right choice, everything done with a purpose and they did the right thing cutting jokers scene. It just wouldn't of fit in. We have been left just enough to make us want more.

This has got so much potential to be what DC have been trying to copy for so long. They failed with the justice league, too much too soon. And their suicide squad just didn't fit in with anything else.

Batman in particular has the best set of villains imo and the riddler (what a performance by the way) was brilliant. I am excited to see where this goes, I'm just hoping they don't drop the ball.

The games have proved what can be done with the Batman centric characters and it just needs translating to the big screen. I'm praying reeves is the one to do it.

As for the film itself, it is right up there with the best Batman movies and Patterson works as the batman. (Didn't think I'd say that).

Brilliant movie and hopefully it gets the respect it deserves, but I think it won't be until the sequel that people realise how good this was. So many threads and so many characters that can be picked up on.

{Ed001's Note - I have no problem with Patterson as Batman particularly, but I thought the film was overly long and boring. It is not a patch on the Nolan trilogy.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe I watched it thinking where it can go and after this first one it has so much potential. I would definitely watch it again and I don't do that with many 3hr movies.

For me this was about setting out a stall for where he wants to take it moving forward, with a batman a bit more fragile then others. Which I think will be interesting in its self.

I think that out of all the comics that have been converted to the big screen batman has the best set of characters, they have just been criminally under utilised.

And the only one I'd re-watch out of the Nolan trilogy is the dark Knight. I'd possibly put on the other two if they were on, not sure I'd choose to watch either one from start to finish though.

{Ed001's Note - I just got bored and it took me a few times to watch it purely because I kept falling asleep.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually I thought Ed01 might like it. I guess you are not.

I think you are spot on Wyred on people will appreciate it more after it gets its sequel. Reeves did it once (at least to me, not sure with others) with his two Planet of the Apes movies. The Dawn was ok, but the climax (especially the actions) was in The War. Then only I thought, The Dawn set it up nicely for the finale in The War.

By the way Ed01, its been awhile (really really awhile) since your last movie review. Been busy and caught up? You doing good?

{Ed001's Note - it has been a while since I properly watched a movie to be honest. I always end up only half watching while editing so don't watch them closely enough to write any kind of review. But yes am doing good thanks mate, I hope all is well with you?}

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2022 14:50:12
A bit like a rollercoaster ride for me for the past few months; jobs, relationship. But I am doing good now. I'm glad that you are as well.

{Ed001's Note - glad you are doing well mate, personally I always loved rollercoasters!}

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2023 14:02:19 Was alright and Patterson was ok in the role - honestly thought he would be awful tbh, but not a patch on the Nolan trilogy for me, I mean can't touch any one of them All in all was decent enough, bit long though and personally I was a bit disappointed as I had read what people thought of it, the hype and it just didn't live up to it

So, when is it acceptable to talk about no way home ed001? You seen it yet?

{Ed001's Note - it is fine with me any time, though I haven't seen it, no. I hear it is great though.}

Honestly not sure how I feel about it, there was so much to set up with the different Villians for those who haven’t watched the non mcu Spider films that the first hour and a half was pre amble. The last hour though was brilliant.

I was worried how they would piece it all together but In fairness it was well thought out, just a bit slow, and we are truly in the multiverse now. Think Dr Strange will need to bring Loki into the fold otherwise that series makes little impact.

I probably will need to watch it again to make my mind up but interested to see how others found it.

{Ed001's Note - so it is 2 and a half hours long then? Wow films are defo getting longer these days.}

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2021 13:06:33
Yep it’s a long one, I think this one needed to be though. They had to presume that these films were watched by first time viewers so there was a lot of groundwork to put in.

It’s a huge film for fan service but I think I had built this one up in my head prior to seeing it. Plus I knew the big spoilers going into it which ruined it a little.

{Ed001's Note - I have no problem with them being long, I would rather they told the story properly than cut it short.}

No Time to Die

What an ending for Daniel Craig's Bond. No bombastic action in this, but there are some good setpieces, especially the scene where the SUV flips in the forest. I am not really a fan of Bond films, but I enjoyed Casino Royale and the other one with Javier Bardem in it. This is Craig's final outing as Bond, and it ends really well. Two thumbs up.

I finally got round to watching this. And as a huge fan of the franchise I really enjoyed this movie.

Craig has done well as bond and the film provided a great ending for him plus other franchise characters.

I'll be interested to see where they take the franchise, I'm really hoping they don't take the cheap way out and reboot it.

Personally I want 'James Bond' to effectively become a moniker similar to 007 that is passed to the best in the business. It opens it up to be literally anyone without changing the fundamentals of the original character.

These last five films have built the feeling that with saving the world there is a genuine cost. And by doing so have built the supporting characters and a framework for future movies. rebooting the franchise just so they can have a new take on james bond would be a huge disservice to the groundwork put in through these last 5 movies.

Plus the reaction to the ending opens up far more possibilities story wise and adds genuine jeopardy for future movies. Not exploring how this impacts the world would be a miss in my opinion.

I'd be interested to see where others think the franchise goes from here.
