It had flaws and at times was a bit too farfetched and silly, but yet, I loved it.

The kid got the level of his confusion and indoctrination just right, Scarlett Johansson was lovely as always. The relationship between the Jewish girl and the young lad growing over time was lovely. I'll come back to this in the next year for a re-watch I think.. For now I'll give it a 9/10 . I'll be interested to watch more from Taikai Watitti in the future.

Decent film that.

Shame really that Waititi's Thor: Love & Thunder was gooseberry fool.

That's being generous.

Abigail - 10/10 - i loved it, a nice mix of horror and humour with a lot of gore thrown in.

There’s a reason why it’s so farfetched… the whole thing was from a young child’s perspective.

That’s why it works so very well for the film, having an unreliable narrator.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - 6/10

Thought it was alright. Not as good as the last movie but it's probably on par with the 2016 one.

Godzilla Minus One - 9/10
Excellent. A story about people that I actually enjoyed with some of the most enjoyable Godzilla moments I've seen in a long time.
Loved it.

Heat 10/10 no notes. Straight up strawberry floating excellent (actually that's a note).

Furiosa: Mad Max - 4/10; well shot and nice vistas but boring story, good performances though by Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth. Amazing vehicles and technology for crafting but no one can brush their teeth or there’s no petrol station for miles around! :lol:

Spoiler alert: the higher quality you watch this film 4K, IMAX, Dolby showings the more you will notice Hemsworth’s prosthetic nose, should get a credit as a separate entity.

Garfield - 5/10; soft spot for the character since childhood and was more enjoyable than the above with nice Mission Impossible and Top Gun nods. Great voice cast, nice to see some of the Ted Lasso cast doing well in Hollywood.

. Dang. I'd still like to see it, though. I'll probably wait until the disc release.

That's actually the first and only negative review i've seen of it.

Phew! Yeah, I just took a look at Metacritic and it's at 79 after 62 reviews. I loved Fury Road so hopefully I'll enjoy this, too.

I've seen a few comments online from people who weren't enamoured with it after seeing it - not saying it's bad, just a bit disappointing.

I wasn't a huge fan of Fury Road tbh, it was alright and looked great, but I just thought Road Warrior was far superior. So I wasn't sure if I was planning to see Furiosa at the cinema anyway.

I loved Fury Road, i thought it was an absolute blast and am hoping Furiosa will be more of the same.

Sleepers (1996) - 9/10 excellent film had me engrossed all the way thru it

I'm going to see Furiosa tomorrow, hopefully it'll be enjoyable. I thought Fury Road was perfect.

Furiosa - 3/10

Well that was poor.

Mad Max Fury Road could be defined by it's practical effects and it's pace. Moving forward and the story was just there to serve as a reason to keep things moving.

Furiosa is very very different. Firstly it's needlessly cruel and grim for the sake of being so. It's been mis advertised with almost half the film focusing on the child furiosa. The effects are poor at all best and comedy bad at worst. The frame rate, speed up is really weird, they do that thing is filming people moving slowly then speeding it up. It looks off each time.

There is no sense of dread as there is poor pacing throughout even a big chase sequence is very CGI heavy. Not cgi to add or remove little details but instead the basis for the scene.

The film thinks that treating the lead cruelly will make a good hero. Instead it just feels needlessly nasty. The fake nosed bad guy doesn't work, as his humour and personality don't match his deeds.

As we know how it all ends, we know that everyone she meets and likes will die, that everything she hopes will go well will go badly and all great plans will fail.

The scale of the film is bigger but it's not a spectacle, it's a mess. The best description I can give is the difference between the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit Trilogy. One is made practically, with care, a story that moves forward and a great pace. The other is drawn out, CGI orcs and no danger.

Really can't believe how different this was to Fury Road, a huge disappointment and a film I'll not bother with again.

But Hideo Kojima said it was a masterpiece and his Bible...

Oh, right. Kojima just off his nut again :roll:

Atlas on netflix.
Pretty lacking, CGI action sequences are a bit disapointing, but Jo-Los make up is impressive. Some Ropey acting allround with an iffy script here and there, but it has its moments. I really liked Jo-Lo in out of sight, but this isnt going do her any favours. Rating 4/10, but if youve played Titanfall 2 it gets a 7/10.

Mortal Kombat (reboot) - 7/10

Bit of a mixed bag, some bits were done better than the original film(s), namely the origin story of Scorpion and Sub-Zero's centuries long conflict and the fights were a lot more brutal than the originals tightly choreographed fights, seemed more like proper brawls.

Didn't like the new lead character (who up until the second half I thought was meant to be Johnny Cage) and the casting felt off for Kano, Sonya and Jax.

The main problem for me was the arcana super hero bullshit. Just wasn't necessary. And the main character being boring as strawberry float.

Well that's disappointing to hear, i was kinda hyped for it too.
