Rate The Last Film You've Seen With Marks Out Of Ten - Part Two

[tinfoilhat 11]

The hobbit - part 1. 12 short jocks take their grandad on a walking holiday in the lakes or some such. Felt it had a running time of a week and half. Plans are a foot to put part two in the planner. I suspect a sky box malfunction! 6/10

Halloween II (1981) - 5.5/10 - Ludicrous in places but the last half hour is quite effective, pity it didn't end here and we wouldn't have had to suffer the many execreble sequels and remakes.

Jurassic World - 9/10

 

I really enjoyed this! Good story & amazing effects

Sleepless Night - 6.5/10 - (Very) fast moving crime thriller set almost entirely in one location - a nightclub over one long night.

[Gideon-1 10]

Paul - 7

 

Entertaining film a bit generic in a few places but otherwise enjoyable.

The overnight 8/10 we went to a preview this morning, it's a funny film with general nude bits flapping around, although nothing too over the top.

 

a few people walked out which was even more funny, but Its really not the kind film you should be going to see your parents and grandparents on a Sunday morning family day out.

Lucy. Not bad (liked the little wildlife montages chucked in) but not as good as it could have been. Don't know whose teeth Morgan freeman was using but they weren't his. 6.5/10

Q: why did 'Tomorrowland' receive such dire critiques?

It's not a bad film at all. 6/10.

The Shining - 9.5/10 - Kubricks masterpiece is the best horror film of all time, starts off eerie and creepy from the opening bars of the title theme and never lets up, superb.

Poltergeist (2015) 5.5/10

 

Ok but lacking in so many ways compared to the first one. It's not a bad film but maybe they shouldn't have tried so hard to copy the original.

The Golden Dream - 7/10 - Three Guatamalan teenagers set off a road trip to the promised land of the US of A, not all goes well!!

Edge Of Tomorrow - 7.5/10 - Tom Cruise stars in an inventive and action packed sci-fi, has a touch of a tamer Starship Troopers, watch this instead of Terminator: Genysis.

Zulu (no, not that one...) - 7.5/10

 

A film set in South Africa and starring Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker about two cops investigating the murder of the woman which somehow connects to a new illegal drug and the disappearance of street children from the townships.

 

Given that this has Orlando Bloom in it I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and how good he was in it. This film is almost a throwback to classic 80s cop movies but seemed fresh because of the unusual setting. Had to mark it down 0.5 due to having one of the most unintentionally funny chase scenes in cinema history.

 

 

Last Knights - 6/10

 

A kind of medieval fantasy in which Clive Owen and a band of warriors are exiled because Morgan Freeman refused to pay a bribe to an evil flunky of the Emperor. Said evil flunky then gets worried that these warriors might want revenge and so builds himself an impregnable fortress and... you get the picture.

 

Clive Owen slips back into his King Arthur character without bothering to wake up, Morgan Freeman does his gravitas bit... overall though the film isn't that bad. It certainly had a fair amount of money spent on the set design and CGI for straight-to-DVD fare and there are tons of recognisable actors in it. A 'leave your brain at home and just enjoy it' kinda film.
