Lack of competition when dross like that gets mentioned acting was very good plot and story pathetic!

I wish someone would love me like @Joey66 loves to hate 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

 

[Dylan]

Horrible film.

That's the one, yep, doubt it was low budget either, waste of time and money.

Its a Michael Bay film....what do you expect?

 

[Dylan]

Pacific Rim was awful...really bad 2/10 film.

I have to ask. What did you expect from a film about giant robots fighting giant monsters?

A meaningful plot? Deep character development? Subtext?

Why not just take the movie for what it is and let your mind go and just enjoy the spectacle.

Lets see here:

Main character has loss and retreats.......check
Humanity needs saving........check
Giant expletive robots.......check
Giant expletive monsters......check
Mega fights destroying cities with reckless abandon......check

It hit every point that I, and quite a few others wanted it to hit.

 

[McBain]

Its a Michael Bay film....what do you expect?

A free flowing camera exposing the hidden meanings and interpersonal relationships dispersed throughout a colourful and intricately created world inhabited by modern, interesting characters expressing the whims and nuances of a detailed plot?

And big-ass 'splosions!!!!!!!

The new Jumanji

Not as bad as I was expecting

 

[Zatara]

Red Sparrow was decent...not a 'thinking mans' spy film but ideally the beginning of a franchise.

Didn't mind Jennifer Lawrence in this...not a great effort but not off putting.

I was expecting a movie with giant robots fighting giant monsters that would be fun and have great FX, with the bonus of it being helmed by an artistic director and Idris Elba killing it as the Pres.

What I got was a totally boring film, with the dullest of characters, no sign of artful camera work and anal fight scenes as incomprehensible as those from the modern Transformers movies, with Idris Elba utterly cringing it as the Pres.

Just watched Hidden Fortress, well good, old Kurosawa film, just reading Lucas took some inspiration from it when he did Star Wars, interesting film

we've been meaning to have this on our home cinema for ages...tonight then!

I,Tonya
Was really good, Allison Janney as Tonya's mum was brilliant!

Yeah. Not a patch on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy but not bad. Some obvious twists but overall not as bad 2 hours. I wouldn't mind going to that spy sex college for a term.

The film's inspired by the true story of Anna Chapman. I've met a few high-end Russian ladies. Interesting bunch.

Thought it was written by a former CIA guy who got a movie deal before finishing the novel?

Finding Your Feet

Not for folks under 45

Smart British film. Funny, endearing, good performances by Celia Imrie and Tim Spall in particular

Resonated with me in relation to the two sisters and my own experiences with brother.

8/10

The Shape of Water

Typically Del-Toro-esque - Visually very striking (with more than a hint of Amelie I thought) - Story a little weak but excellent performances and moves along at a decent clip
