I wanted to watch Highlander but she had dibs and went for Angels & Demons, thinking that anything with Tom Hanks is a banker.
Crap, but barely not crap enough to fast-forward, the ending was actually ok. 4/10.
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
I used to lambast this film because it’s a bit ropey, but after The Last Jedi screwed Star Wars over, I can appreciate the prequels because at least they were creative, had a fundamentally good story and took risks.
Couldn't agree more. Liked parts of Phantom Menace and loved the second two movies full stop. They felt like a proper space opera
I thought I would come to that conclusion after the abortion that was the last Jedi. Tried watching The Phantom Menace at the weekend. Had to turn it off. The dialogue and acting from all involved is just too bad.
I can appreciate both views: personally the prequel trilogies are a 5/10, 4/10 & 6/10 for me: they're bad films with some good bits, and the best thing about them is they introduced so many new elements to the Star Wars universe, which while often badly-executed, were good ideas.
Knights of the Old Republic took many of these ideas and turned it into arguably the greatest Star Wars story ever told.
I've only just finished watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Seen it a few times and I feel that it gets better every time.
Yes, strong 8/10. Tho' for me I think it's not one to rewatch.
Just watched Seven, yeah I know I'm very late on this one, really enjoyed it. Had bits of the Zodiac and Silence Of The Lambs in, the ending was cool, was coming up with all kinds of ideas on what was going to happen while they were in the car but didn't think of that !
Also a strong 8/10. I saw it for the 2nd-time recently and this time really noticed it's Morgan Freeman who's the star.
That's not to say Pitt didn't do well. He's gone downhill for a long while now, but back in the mid-to-late 90's he was killing it!
Zodiac was boooooring! Had to keep fast-fowarding and still nothing happened. 2/10.
Silence of the Lambs is another strong 8/10. Can't imagine anyone not giving that a good rating.
