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

[wearysmith 141]

 

I'm tired and struggling with a grim chest-infection, so maybe this is not the best time for me to give an overview of this flick.

 

It's probably a 6, but I'll stick with 5 as the set ups and gags feel way too contrived.  

 

Definitely a lot of laugh out loud moments. I particularly enjoyed Salma Hayek screaming to Sam Jackson "I'm not wearing a sports bra!!!!" as a van they're being chased in careers down some steep steps in Italy. There's also a running gag about her being too old to have children, resulting in some particularly cranky violent scenes.

 

Too much swearing (well, it IS a Samuel L Jackson film) and Ryan's face-pulling and wisecracks are delivered far better in the Deadpool films and 'Free Guy'.

 

Some great scenery to admire though.

 

Might need to see this again in a week or so, but my initial impression is it's not as good as the first one.

Don't Look Up - 7/10

 

Surprising funny satire that takes aim at US politics, media, social media, obsession with celebrity trivia, politicisation of science and of all aspects of our lives, in the face of something that shouldn't be political (in the case of the film it's a extinction-level comet headed for Earth but really it's Covid) and weird tech billionaires. It's so on the nose about just how stupid we've all become it's almost depressing.

Don't look up.

 

Again HTSBO choice.

As above Surprisingly    an Annoyingly, irritating frustrating mix of storylines designed to infuriate.

Probably shows how the Yanks sense of humour differs from ours (Come on, they can't even spell humour right !  ).

On the other hand, it is daft enough to be funny, and yes come the day, a big chunk of meteorite comes to do for us the same way it did for the dinosaurs, we'll be as prepared for it as they were. 

Of course, as we speak various governments are working on meteorite busting space probes for just such an eventuality, aren't they  ?  

 

Loved the ending,  probably the best part of the film.

No spoiler, yer gonna have to watch it yourself  .

 

Worth watching if yer can't find anything better.      7/10.

 

Keep safe & Don't look up .

I watched this film after looking at your rating and I also enjoyed it.

The Ice Road

 

It’s what you expect when Liam Neeson stars in a film, action packed.  For me a bit to much action but it wasn’t bad.  I do like to hear his voice tho. 

 

7/10
