Thats fair, its not for everyone.

I tend to enjoy blockbuster escapism, Ive no issue with "popcorn" movies, so I get along fine with this.

Most are quite forgettable, some are rather good though.

Ha i ended up turning it off at some point - always cave in to the hype with these comic book movies and generally end up dissapointed with what i see.

I like some of the earlier ones by proper indie directors - Burton's two Batmans, Raimi's three Spidermans, Nolan's three Batmans and Ang Lee's Hulk. The Blade and original X-men trilogies, plus the standalone Watchmen and Darkman films are pretty good too.

But I can't watch anything new now, they have just become so cliched and passe

I watched (much hyped) You Were Never Really Here tonight

As usual with slightly arty films where there is quite a bit of silence and flashbacks and staring into space, I spend half the film messing about online and then have to check Wikipedia to follow the plot. I thought it was fairly good, if you like to watch hitmen and paedos getting hammered to death with hammers.

I don't think West Ham fans should be allowed to drink.

I liked Ready Player One, I’ve wstched it twice now.

I also liked A Quiet Place, but it wasn’t scary, and too many plot holes.

Thought ready player one was weak
So many things not explained in the story

I agree that a lot wasn’t explained but I liked the style, the humour, and the references. I thought I was mostly good fun and so enjoyed it for that.

Missus read the book and enjoyed it

I hadn’t and didn’t

Guess it’s a case of knowing certain things

Watched Yakuza Apocolypse the other night, as I quite like a good Takashi Miike film. WALOB.
Starts off as a decent enough Japanese mafia film, then when the boss dies, it's revealed he's

Spoiler

a vampire and he passes his powers on to the new guy

. The rival gang then realise the only way to defeat him, is to call in the baddest warrior there is:

lol, I wouldn't ever have had any desire to watch a film called Yakuza Apocalypse... until I saw the second spoiler.

I gave it two stars out of ten, but I couldn't tell you now why it deserved more than one. I seem to remember that not only did it have a terrible storyline, but it was quite poorly done as well. When someone makes about ten movies a year like Miike does, some of them are bound to suck.

Almost as odd as his film Visitor Q, but not sure anything else is quite that odd

Now that is why I like him, but what I just saw was awful.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Just watched Short Term 12 on the iPlayer.

Didn't know a thing about it before choosing but will tell you now it was excellent.

Saw Avengers: Infinity War today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thought it was a cracking film.
