CF11JamTart Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Had anyone on here seen it? Thinking about taking 8 year old daughter to the pictures on NYD to see it. All the reviews are absolutely honking. Just wondering if it's actually THAT bad? Edited December 23, 2019 by CF11JamTart Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF11JamTart Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 That's what I'm tempted to do. Junior might enjoy it. And it's a wee jaunt out. I have, though, been surprised at how the reviews have been mostly dire. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Never not went to a movie I've fancied because some newspaper or website wank thinks a movie wasn't good. Critics are *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The early reviews firvThe Greatest Showman were pish and it was ace. My kids love it. My Mrs will take them to Cats, sure they'll like it even if it's crap. Kids are essentially thick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I was going to take my two to see Cats but then I seen the reviews so they went to see Jumanji 2 or whatever it’s called which was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I go to see a heck of a lot of films regardless of the reviews. My daughter is wanting to see Cats so we will go at the weekend. Jumanji 2 is decent and we went to see Frozen 2 (again) last night (which is a very decent kids film) Dont listen to what others say, as we have all got different tastes. As a parent I have learned to let the kids think I have enjoyed honking movies just to keep them happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If it is as bad as the musical, which I had the misfortune to be dragged along to see a while back then best to stay well clear.

Wtf is it all about anyway?????? I saw the musical when I first came to London. Some decent songs and some decent dancing (fit bursds in catsuits - what's not to like?). Absolutely no discernable plot, though. It is just a bunch of poems sewn together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I ****ing hate musicals so always good when one gets hammered by the critics as it means there’s likely to be less of them. By all accounts a lot of the CGI wasnt done it time to rush it out for Christmas. After the shit reviews the director was in working and they’ve released another edited version - virtually unheard of so it must be really shite.

benny Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The only kids movie my daughter walked out of when she was young was the Flinstones. Every other movie she enjoyed no matter what the review was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to post similar, I was dragged along to see the musical by Mrs F and didn't have a clue what was going on. Only redeeming feature was the cat like bursds. Not on my santa list to see the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the fit bursts were a redeeming feature right enough especially when they were running up and down the isle. I knew if I looked at them too closely though I would get a slap from her next to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an acquired taste but I liked The Lone Ranger, infarct I'd maybe say it's one of my favourites.

Jamhammer Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Don't think The Big Lebowski got great reviews at the time but it's regarded as the Coen's masterpiece now. Certainly in my gaff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
