Just watched Solo. Actually enjoyed it. Was not expecting much due to average reviews and poor box office numbers but I thought it was good.

Mile 22. No shortage of action, just a bit thin on the plot, or rather what plot there was you could see right through, assuming you were looking...

Watched Trainspotting 2 the other day. Quite different to the original of course, but it was interesting. Won't spoil it but there was an out of character turn from Begbie near the end which I thought was odd, but still, overall they wrapped things up quite nicely I think.

Venom, good movie, Tom Hardy takes a great role, he probably saves the film in all honestly.
1 1/2 hours of remove brain and enjoy.
Post credit scene sets up Venom 2.

Rewatching all the Star Trek films at the moment. Some mega cheesy moments but the scenes between Spock and Kirk in II, III and IV do sometimes put a lump in your throat.

Saw this last Friday, I like Mark Wahlberg, and Peter Berg usually writes/ directs good stuff, but was very disappointed with this. Fight scenes were OK, but that was all there was, the "story" started and finished in the middle of nowhere with nothing tieing it together. If you are going to watch it, wait until it's on freeview somewhere, don't pay cinema fees to watch.

Interesting, haven't read a single good review about this. A few differing thoughts on whether Tom Hardy is doing a great job hamming this up tongue in cheek, or whether he's bombed out big time.

Me too, will sit and watch the original any time I see it on TV. This latest one was written by Shane Black, who has a pretty good fiilm writing pedigree (lethal weapon 1 & 2, Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and more), and was one of Arnies special ops team in the original. Will probably wait until it's widely available before watching though.

The Commuter. A Neeson film about a regular commuter who is coerced into identifying a passenger who doesn't fit on the train in exchange for money. Started off well then went off rails, literally.

I saw that a month or so back. Thought it was a bit far-fetched to say the least. More of a 'switch off brain' movie I think.
Off to see Venom tonight with the missus! Comic book films are one of the few genres we share an interest in. Usually Tom Hardy is good so hopefully it's decent.

I hadn’t seen any decent reviews either and was a bit aporehensive, just chilled and enjoyed it
I felt the same when it was released as I'd loved the first one so much. I watched it again recently on DVD and enjoyed it much more second time around. I think I wanted too much and my expectations had dropped when I watched it again so I was able to just enjoy it. If you have it on DVD then try it again in a few months.

Yeah think it was same with me.
I enjoyed Infinity war more 2nd time around.
Watched it in 3d at cinema & it spoilt it for me.
Can’t wait for next one.

Saw Venom on Friday night. It was very entertaining, and I thought Hardy was excellent in the role (as expected really). There was one plot point which I thought was pretty lame though (below in spoiler tags) and stopped it from being a truly great film, but still a solid 7/10. Worth watching for fun value.
Venom completely changing his plan from destroying earth to saving earth, purely because 'on his home planet he is a loser like Eddie' was lame I thought.

Catch up time;
A Star is Born; great performances from Bradley Cooper & Lady GaGa, good story & not overly kind to the music industry, thoroughly enjoyed it.
First Man; good to a point. Dealt with the getting to the moon & it causing domestic friction part well, just when you expected it to address the domestic side when he returned it didn't. Not bad, but not the best we've sen recently.
Hunter Killer; Gerard Butler & his submarine save the world. Similar fare to Olympus Has Fallen but a much better storyline, worth a watch in my opinion.
Bohemian Rhapsody; Spontaneous round of applause from the packed house at the end, completely unaware of time whilst in there, what more do you need to know? Go.

Completely agree watched this last week thoroughly enjoyed it and showcase good voices when not used for overly pop styled songs.
Christopher Robin: took kids to this today, if you got kids or grandkids take them they'll love it, but more importantly so will you as a grown up, lots of subtle laughs for the grown ups, real feel good film and makes you walk out the cinema just generally happy with and underlying feeling of knowing what's more important in life.

I watched Good Will Hunting on the way home last night....I'm 38 years old, how had I not watched such a brilliant film before!
