Films

[Deleted member 15344]

Films will always be just like music - there is no "bad " film as such more about peoples on taste

Films for me will always look to do two things - entertain people and/or tell a story

If a film is popular then it's going to be entertaining people so it's done what it has set out to be - even if it's not full of oscar winning acting and a powerful story line

The DC/Marvel/Transformer films are perfect examples are great entertaining films full of fantasy and action which a great deal of people love - they aren't going to filled with oscar nominations but they are successful films - even though I did read the ridiculous comment that someone would like a bit of realism !! ( it's from a comic or cartoon for goodness sake )

Film right now for me is doing well - there is always something for everyone in the cinema

Moana. Lovely film. Music not as good as Tangled or Frozen but the story is good and the animation superb. I would happily watch it again. Find a young child, any child, and go and see it. Thumbs up for the 5 minute short shown before it as well.

My daughter and I are very excited for both Sing and Batman Lego. Both look a lot of fun.

We all enjoyed Moana. I
thought the music was good,but like you say it's not as good as Frozen.
Sing looks good,not sure about batman tho,I thought Lego movie was terrible.

Agree on the first lego film but this one seems so sharp with the one liners. It could be of course that all the best lines are in the trailer but I hope not. It just looks gloriously daft.

Sing, you have a pig in lycra. What's not to love about that image.

Saw Split tonight on Odeon scream unseen. Probably the best film I've seen at the cinema in a few years. Released on Friday and would highly recommend.

Just watched "A few good men" again.
Possibly Tom Cruise's finest performance.
Absolutely brilliant film and Jack Nicholson is superb in it too. One of my all time favourites.

Watched The Accountant last night and really enjoyed it. Ben Affleck is a decent actor these days. The ending is a bit too "Hollywood" but it didn't detract too much from the film on the whole.

Passengers, a sci fi movie , a bit different and not too bad.

 

[Beezerk]

Is there anyone on here who likes non "blokey" films 😁
Persepolis, Taxi To The Dark Side, Melancholia etc

 

[KhalJimbo]

Watched the new Point Break yesterday. Quite enjoyed, want to see the original now. Watching The Huntsman: Winters War today, not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Although on Tuesday I watched a fantastic Sci Fi called Midnight Special. Highly recommended as a good Sci Fi watch.

Rise of the Footsoldier 2. Ho-hum, lots of swearing...

the original?! No way!


just watched Arrival, bit slow but intresting

 

[Beezerk]

the original?! No way!

Original is the most overrated pile of crap I've ever seen, absolute badly acted tosh. They reckon the remake is even worse 😆

 

[Norrin Radd]

it was the remake i was reffering to ,but in truth neither was what i would call a must see movie.

 

[Robster59]

I watched Gran Torino the other night. Good film, worth a watch.

a couple of years ago i was lent a copy of "Second hand Lions" its got two big names ,Michael Caine and Robert Duval,its not an action gung ho movie but a really nice tale of two old boys seen through the eyes of a young nephew .one of my all time favourite movies and has some great scenes .seriously worth watching .
