Films

Eddie the Eagle - watched it expecting it to be a load of guff but was actually very entertaining and painted Eddie in a very different light to the clown he was portrayed to be.
 
Mission Impossible; Fallout. The usual suspects pulling the usual stunts, a decent story with a few good twists & a fair sprinkling of humour. Well worth watching for mine.
 
Jackie... What a superb film... Top performance from Natalie Portman...
Can't fathom why it has such a low score on IMDb...


Also had a couple of trips out with the grandson... Ant-man and Incredibles...
Two great films to watch with the kids...

Watched Alien Covenant last night. Not bad.

I loved the part when they said at the outset they had a crew of 15. Everyone watching makes a mental note that's at least 13 gory kills coming. The double attack in the shower had me roaring with laughter.
 
Ant Man and The Wasp, good fun, plenty of humour and action, after credits scene really threw me though, didn’t see it coming.

Watched Thor Ragnorak last night on the plane last. Good film that, enjoyed it.

That was a great one. More humour than most of the Marvel films. The rock character (Korg?) was amazing - voiced by the director. I'd even set the film apart from the other Marvel ones as being in the 'comedy' category more than 'action'.

The comedy is what ruined it. They have some seriously dark material they can use for Thor but they make it too infantile.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the one that walks that line perfectly.

Marvel, imo, have got the humour/action balance about right.
DC I find are more about the dark material.

Totally agree, disengage brain, sit back and relax. Right up my street, ;)

Agreed. I love them.

If you want to see them done badly then watch Justice League, and most other DC films with the exception of Wonder Woman. Marvel have it spot on in terms of pure entertainment.

I go to the cinema to escape, to be entertained. Marvel tick the box for me.

Personally I would say comedy is my favourite genre, I'm most entertained by a film that makes me laugh, hence I really enjoyed Ragnarok. Guardians is also good for that, yeah. As others said above, a mix of comedy and action to keep you entertained for 2 hours, spot on really.
