luckyBatistuta Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Watched an old classic with some mates on Monday night. We were in stitches laughing, not as funny watching it now, as it was back in the day, but still brilliant. You have to love stupid humour to appreciate it, so let yourself go and enjoy it for what it is....A Classic I give you... Return of the Living Dead Send More Cops!!!

Deviskan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) On 18/03/2019 at 07:53, Ron Burgundy said: Mandy. Was looking forward to it after a good review on here. It was awful IMO. Truly 2 hours wasted. Completely disagree...Mandy is the epitome of a cult classic in my opinion. Some people will hate it, whilst others like myself will think it’s a stunning piece of art...the cinematography and imagery are like a moving painting in places. I knew I was going to enjoy it from the moment the old school titles came up and King Crimson ‘Starless’ played. Edited March 20, 2019 by Deviskan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
i8hibsh Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 In the past month: Bohemian Rhapsody - biggest pile of horse shit I have ever seen. Was annoyed throughout by the lack of story (it was just bringing Queen events into play every so often) especially the guy who played Freddie. He tried too hard and his face really annoyed me, as did Roger in it. Watch the many hundreds of bona fide Queen docus out there – the real Queen and save yourself from this drivel. Goodfellas – Not seen it in about 20 years, nostalgia makes me like it but in reality it is actually a pretty shite film imo. So overrated. Instant Family – Quite funny. Wahlberg plays this type of character very well. A good family film about something close to my heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me he over acted and tried too hard. I guess it comes down to no-one will ever be Freddie so seeing someone impersonate him for 2 hours just irritated me. They tried to cram significant Queen events into a film almost gratuitously. Goodfellows really actually is. Poor storyline that stays strong by just overhype.

There are plenty films and tv shows I’ve watched back years later that I’ve thought were really great. Watching them back years later though, I’ve had a completely different opinion on some and actually thought they were shite, but that’s definitely not one of them.

You mean Goodfellas Fantastic film. I like film editing and that movie is edited fantastically. The way the music goes with the film is incredible and spot on. Scorcese is a genius at times BR pulled the wool over my eyes, I will admit that. Perhaps it was the music and the upbeat tone, a rare thing these days but yes he does overact and actually plays Freddie Mercury as if he was a total oddball, obviously not the case Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soundtrack is good, especially because it plays a George Harrison track which is always nice. The BR hype leaves me incredulous. I genuinely believe people are just telling themselves they liked it due to the fact it is Queen. When it came out people were competing to see who liked it more as if a case of keeping up with the Joneses. It is social media I tell you, hyped it up and the humanbots just nod acceptingly. I know I am a miserable ******* but the film was diabolically bad. It was a complete cringefest from them clapping to we will rock you in the studio, to Freddie talking about Live Aid (pre concert) to them sitting in the studio with the record exec. If I was to rate Bohemian Rhapsody out of a trillion I’d give it 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s also the same with things like restaurants...oh, this restaurant is to die for, oh yes, it’s my favourite, just fabulous...nauseating stuff at times, etc. I feel that way about movies like Trainspotting and Reservoir Dogs, two seriously overrated films imo. I’m not a big Queen fan and never have been, but i do like some of their music. I might not have enjoyed the film as much, if it hadn’t been for the soundtrack, but as a whole, I enjoyed it. I was impressed with the portrayal of Freddie by Rami, as I think Freddie was a bit of a quirky extrovert type character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chester copperpot Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I8's film critiquing is a bit like his Hearts analysis. Good fellas is an amazing film and stands the test of time perfectly.
