Films

[Wolf]

The problem is the original films were iconic for the time and so follow up films still tug on the heartstrings because they are films many grew up with. If you go into the series cold, looking at 70's and 80's effects through the eyes of what we are used to now then they will not age well.

Yoda is still a legend though, whatever era you watch him

Exactly this for me, grew up with Star Wars & its Skywalker saga now its time to see that come to what will hopefully be a fitting conclusion.

Yoda is an absolute legend indeed, however Mrs Wolf is now obsessed with the Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian series..

Star Wars is one thing that's past me by. Have seen one or two in the past, but not enthused to watch all of them. Not my bag.

Finally got onto Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw ...........Passed the time nicely.

But, Mike Oxmaul....

Star Wars is still big to me as it was my first experience of a blockbuster film in the late 70s. Never forget seeing those opening shots as a kid.

Watched 2/3 of The Irishman last night, really enjoyed it so will watch the last hour tonight.

Star Wars - just got back from seeing it?
Overall thoroughly enjoyed it, good scenes, tied everything together nicely from all the films across the saga, but I do now have a couple of new questions I need to ponder?

Oh and its always nice seeing Daisy Ridley ?

Christmas film 'shoot the glass'
?

6 Underground, mindless violent action. Decent enough if you like Ryan Reynolds films. Michael Bay going totally OT on action and violence free of the studio system.

The stupid one liners every couple of mins put me right of it,

At least that has some interesting scenes ?

Much like Orikuro's sofa lodger

Is she somehow related to Keira knightly ? Could be sisters such is the resemblance

Loved the film

Fitting end to the Skywalker saga

Channel surfing and found Where eagles dare ?.

Couldn’t find anything on Netflix that Mrs Hogie fancied watching so paid 6.99 to rent Rocketman for a week. Thought it was excellent.

Quite possibly indeed, but i think Daisy has something little more about her. Both very attractive though.

Agreed totally very fitting end indeed, wraps it altogether nicely and corrects somethings that never got answered even in the original films.

I thought it wasn't very good, bit to overhyped for me in the end, which i thought was a shame as we were both looking forward to it, but felt it was more style over substance.

I enjoyed Star Wars, fitting ending but felt it was a bit rushed, like JJ Abrams had parts 2 and 3 of this trilogy written but only had 1 film to do it in. Quite a few retcons of the last film to fit the plot lines he wanted. Still, good film and will look forward to a second watch when the dvd comes out. One very surprising appearance I was not expecting

Saw it on a plane and even though it was on a mall screen with crappy audio, thoroughly enjoyed it. Dexter Fletcher is a great director of those type of films, try Sunshine on Leith if you haven't seen it, same director and concept as Rocketman but with Proclaimers songs.

I think I enjoyed it but it could have lost at least an hour with no impact on the story. Plus Goodfellas is one of my favourite films ever and thought it didn't compare very well with that.

I am in love with Daisy. Just say the word Daisy. Say the word...

Saw it last night myself with the missus. She loved it. I enjoyed it but it was definitely flawed. Nothing can compare to the originals. But that’s the nostalgia of growing up when star wars was at its peak. Just like the kids of today love Harry Potter and the Avengers films. Not for me and prob not so much for the next generation.

I’d give Rise of Skywalker 4/5 based on visuals, production, atmosphere, excellent CGI and fight scenes, and mostly for not screwing it up too much.
