tinfoilhat   11 #2617 Posted August 6, 2018 Justice league. It travels a now well-worn plot - Wonder Woman is released from prison and with batman endeavour to get the band back together for a one off gig and save their former orphanage - or something like it. Decent set of characters, pretty well acted- gal gadot truely is beguiling - and although it pulled out all the stops on special effects, it didn't seem as reliant on them as other recent superhero flicks. All quite predictable but very enjoyable. One minor thing, Henry cavill apparently had to have his Mission impossible 'stache airbrushed out which resulted in superman looking like he was having a minor stroke through most of the film, quite off putting. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Couldn't they shave it off and glue one on for MI: Fallout? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Joker   10 #2623 Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) One minor thing, Henry cavill apparently had to have his Mission impossible 'stache airbrushed out which resulted in superman looking like he was having a minor stroke through most of the film, quite off putting. 8/10   I wondered (‘scuse the pun) what was up with his top lip . . .  I can’t rate the film as high since, like Suicide Squad and the other films in the DC universe, the directors are just throwing dozens of characters in with no backstory and I can’t be bothered to do the required reading myself.  Nice effects (except for the top lip) but I don’t know what’s going on or who is supposed to be fighting who or why.  3/10 from me.  The big bad guy with the horns - is he or isn’t he Liam Neeson ?

nikki-red   307 #2625 Posted August 15, 2018 The Meg 7/10  Ive just watched this and despite Jason Statham I really enjoyed it. Its just Jaws on steroids, if you dont take it too seriously its good fun.  ---------- Post added 18-08-2018 at 11:59 ----------  How it Ends 3/10  This had so much potential but ended up being really quite poor. The titles quite ironic too. On the plus side, I now know how to fix a collapsed lung. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mickey finn   12 #2626 Posted August 18, 2018 Sicario: Day of the Soldado, there was much hype about this being one of those rare movies that are better then the first but I didnt think so, still good though 7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B Â Â 1,401 #2627 Posted August 18, 2018 The Riot Club. Â Excellent film, if that's the right word... Great writing, good acting and a glimpse into another world we don't usually see, in fact if it hadn't been for David Cameron and a certan incident with a pig, I don't think the play (Posh) from which this is taken would have been written. I wonder what Cameron, Boris and George Osborne made of it all. Â It speaks volumes. Well worth watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #2628 Posted August 23, 2018 Hereditary 8.5/10  A very good horror film which definately sends a few chills up your back.  You may scratch your head to understand some bits parts, but it does kind of fall in to place near the climax.
