Loads of storylines, awful lines, outrageous storyline, more plot holes than any film I can think of but I couldnt look away from the screen. It should be a 4 or a 5 out of 10 but for it being totally mental, I will give it a 7. Watched it today as well; magnificently bad but i really enjoyed it 😁 not going to rate it, it exists out there on its own beyond review 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I watched The King’s Man on Disney+. Not sure what to make of it and I’m not sure the director and writers did either. Not as humorous as the first 2 but not serious enough to be a proper action thriller. The cast try their best. A solid 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its unfairly maligned and mocked due to " Pulp Fiction" not winning the Oscar * Best film and FG winning it. Its a beautiful film with sentiment and heart and a really positive message at times. I have a good blurb at the bit when he says he describes that he knows what love it. Tom Hanks is a superb actor. An everyman type of actor who can play any type of role. I also like reading about how you watch films with your kids. Its a lovely memory you and they will have years from now. I used to take one of my niece's to the cinema a lot when she was a kid and every time a film come on TV which was saw it reminds me of those great times.

My kids first heard of him via Toy Story films but a while ago we watched Big and Tuner and Hooch. TH has many great films and I look forward to my son being old enough to watch the likes of The Green Mile & Saving Private Ryan. FG is such an amazing film. Funny, with serious moments as well as (as you said) a positive message. My love of films probably comes from getting to stay up when I was wee to watch the horror double bills on BBC2. This was family time and I loved it. I get my kids at weekends and strive to watch at least one film each weekend with them. Hard thing is one of them is a 6 year old girl, the other an 11 year old boy. Last night I saw Encanto with my daughter and when she was in bed FG with my son. I love it when there is a family film for all of us (Great Outdoors might be next) but also appreciate the 1-2-1 time when only two of us watch one.

Yes i have happy memories of watching films with my parents. Its the shared experience. Have they watched " Paddington 2 " Its outstanding . So funny . I went with a female friend and we loved it. We felt a bit self conscious about going to see a " kids film but thought why not. Tom Hanks can play any genre. comedy , drama. western etc. Very versatile.

He made a mess of “ Murder on the Orient express “ ( not a patch on the classic 1974 version) and I really can’t understand why he would remake “ “Death on the Nile “ ? The 1978 version isn’t a classic but it’s a good enough version of a great book . I believe French and Saunders are playing the parts Bette Davis and Maggie Smith played in the 1978 version . Says it all really . My favourite Poirot was Albert Finney . He was superb. On 12/02/2022 at 14:01, Carl Fredrickson said: We love Paddington 2.

Very different from the original. Where Lynch, for once, isn't being arch with his style and basically gets characters to reel off exposition, Villenueve dispenses of as much narrative as possible. It looks utterly incredible, possibly the most striking cinematography since I was wowed by the original Blade Runner. So artistic. But as said by others, it is very portentious.

Gizmo Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Last Night in Soho. Felt Edgar Wright really immersed himself in the 60s scenes, really drew me in to the film. Some of the practical effects are superb and the whole thing works due to the quality of the cast and if you don't think about it too much. Terence Stamp deserved a bigger role I thought, but that was offset by how much the camera loves Anya Taylor-Joy. If you like the cast (Thomasin McKenzie is great as the naive fish out of water) and enjoy Wright's technical prowess which looks especially appealing shot on film, along with his cracking choice of soundtrack, this is a solid 8/10.
