Do you like the fast and furious movies?
I saw two of them and one was quite entertaining, but very forgettable.
I don't know which one that was though.

Baby Driver was very formulaic that requested the soundtrack to drive the movie.
Acting was woeful and totally unbelievable. The term 'annoying' came to mind, but that's just my opinion.

First movie in ages that I just wanted to end and relieved when it finally did.

It.

Great. Loved the way they kept the action up all the way through and it wasn't just jump scares with meaningless dialogue in between. Also liked the elements of humour in Pennywise. A very Freddy Kruger aspect of playing with his victims.

8/10
I got some serious "Stand by Me" vibes from the movie myself. Even the lead kid reminded me of Gordy? Just a little.

Omg- they both had brothers that died too!!!

Snowpiercer - 1/10. Unsure how it was rated highly on rotten tomato
American Sniper - 5/10.
I felt the same way. The clumsily obvious metaphoric evolution through the film was completely overshadowed by the dozens of ridiculous faults/flaws/plot holes that occur with monotonous regularity.
Too far removed from reality to make sense for me, so it left me wondering what I had missed. On reflection, I don't think I missed a huge amount it was just a bad movie.
Watched this again over the weekend. We were right. It is a steaming pile of poo.

Con Air.

Nick Cage with long hair is just excellent haha. Better than I remembered it.

Juno.

Watched it for the first time last night. Didn't have any closure for the Bateman character but not a bad 'feel good' movie.

Each to their own. Saw Baby Driver at the cinemas and it had me on the edge of my seat. I hated the F&F movies I saw and couldn't wait for them to end. Go figure.

You guys know how we take the wee out of the Fast and the Furious films, in particular Fate of the Furious, when I guess really they aren't that bad, they just are what they are? Well this film IS that bad, it isn't what it wants to be, and not even crossing in to so bad it's good territory. There are about two scenes in the entire movie that display an acceptable level of film making, probably not a coincidence they're the only two with Samuel L Jackson. The action and stunts can be rather incredible in that popcorn way, but unfortunately, unlike those FnF flicks, the scenes between don't hold anything together at all. It's just shit. Bad writing, bad acting, bad story... it goes on and on. It's rarely exciting, it's rarerer funny, it certainly isn't engaging, and there's not a single memorable, original character. Some dot points;

  • Vin Diesel clearly taking the gay rumours to heart. He bangs a dozen birds in the first few minutes and thereafter not a single women in the entire can resist hitting on him and making sexual innuendo toward him.
  • PG-13 banging that is. Lots of sexualised content here but no nudity. Same goes for the action. Hundreds of people getting shot and cleanly falling down without spilling any fluids.
  • WTF is Toni Colette doing in this mess?
  • I guess she's the Charlize Theron role. The plot and general structure does really steal a lot from Fate of the Furious, but like, awfully.
  • Some soccer player who isn't Messi or Ronaldo. WHY?!
  • Vin Diesel seems to be at peace with not making any decent pictures for the rest of his working life.
There isn't enough grog in the world and/or beautiful women in the world to make sitting through this again a worthwhile decision/10
