I hear the Bond films are pretty good. I'll have to check them out one of these days.
Great action, even if there’s not enough
Great story
Great acting from brosnan and Chan.
I cant think of any real cons.
Thank you.
I guess I mostly watched reruns of the show in the mid 80s and then "grew up" when Burton delivered his Batman. I spent my teenage years resenting the campy nonsense of the show, only partially enthusiastic about the live action films, and worshipping the animated Batman. In my twenties, I grew up once more, with Nolan's films, finding a more naturalistic approach and even tone. At the same time though, I began to go back to that campy Batman I once loved as a child, then hated as a cynical teenager. I started seeing the good things in it, the relevance and indeed the significance of the show in its days, and many of its unparalleled qualities. I guess the only logical conclusion is that while a child accepts the series by default, it's really us, adults, it's made for.
I didn't know that. He's not bad at the job actually. Even DAD has it's moments.
Couldn't agree more. Glad I'm not the only one who felt this way, I genuinely believed I was the only one who saw it and wasn't impressed.
Not watched this since I bought it on Blu ray, it still stands up. Obviously not as funny as Knowing Me Knowing You and both I'm Alan Patridge series.
It bucks the trend of TV series making terrible big screen versions, Coogan is so adept at playing Alan now, can't wait for more Partridge this year and next.
Alpha Papa doesn't surrender the essense of the character and still feels part of the same universe, although managing to give it a big screen work over that doesn't do a disservice to the legacy of the character.
The fact Innauci attached himself to this and contributed to the script kind of gurantees it wouldn't be rubbish.
4/5
Best 'Pirates' movie since the first. I saw this in the theatre and love it even more now. If this is the last one, it ended on a particularly high note. Paul McCartney's cameo was great.
This is an excellent and beautifully made film. It emulates (very well I might add) the original Blade Runner's futurescape, but never surpasses Ridley's groundbreaking original vision. It doesn't have the surprise the original sprang on it's audience all those years ago and it doesn't have Roy Batty.
This is the sort of film cinema was made for. It looks incredible, and I can't remember the last time I was in awe of what I was seeing when watching a film. Being so sick of CGI heavy stuff lately this is such a different experience. As an audience Villeneuve lets us savour the incredible world he has created by keeping the shots long and allowing us to see the detail. Loved the score as well.
I liked the fact that 'K' was revealed early on as to who he was and Gosling is just brilliant. I also loved the character of Luv. With her offworldly looks and deadly force she is one of my favourite things in the film. The only weak spot in terms of actors was Jared Leto, who admittedly didn't have the best written part. Tyrell he was not.
I found the plot pretty cool, but a little contrived. At least it's a logical continuation of the original and not just a rehash.
Not sure if I missed something (I think another viewing is essential) but the LA Police department seemed to consist of Robin Wright, Ryan Gosling and a couple of officers.
And how can Wallace have the Chief of Police murdered with no comeback?
Looking forward to seeing it again, and will definitely be buying the BD. No doubt one of the best films of the year and one I think will reward multiple viewings.
Only seen this once, and really enjoyed it. As for the character of Partridge, I've only seen a few episodes here and there. Fun character!
Director: John Woo
Had to follow up Tony Rome (1967) with the sequel. As with TR, Lady in Cement is a stylish 60's crime film with some lighthearted moments throughout; A formula that works well. Sinatra plays his character effortlessly cool – as you would expect, and there are few surprises along the way. A good sequel nonetheless!
Really? I've not seen ABT, but have A Better Tomorrow 2 and had it on VHS for some years and absolutely loved it.
Why, in your opinion, is ABT terrible?
It's not good at all. The acting is bad, the CGI is bad, and the sharks are unrealistic. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.
Batman and Harley Quinn
This one was a pleasant surprise. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is actually pretty comedic but not in the 60's Batman kind of way, and certainly not what Batman and Robin was trying to be. The majority of the comedy falls on Harley Quinn, after her would probably be Nightwing. If you're a fan of the 90's Animated Series, you may find you like this one.
Batman: Gotham Knight
The worst animated Batman I've seen. Batman and anime don't go well together. I don't recommend it even to the biggest Batman fans.
Batman: Under the Red Hood
This one is one of my favorite animated Batman movies. My only complaint is the voice actor for the Joker didn't seem quite right but it doesn't ruin the movie for me.
And of course, Under The Redhood is almost a masterpiece.
I don't mind her turning good as long as she's chaotic good or even anti-hero like.
In fairness I haven't read the book, but I found this a bit of a disappointment. Some good imagery and special effects - as you would expect from a Tim Burton film - but otherwise quite forgettable.
I wasn't too fond of Asa Butterfield as the young central character Jake, and Eva Green's performance felt too theatrical. I did like the "Run Rabit Run" bombing sequence though.
Should have been subtitled "For Your Eyes Only" given both Green's and Dench's involvement. ;)
Whew, what a heavy hitting film that was. Vince Vaughn's latest was wildly entertaining, and almost had a grindhouse feel to the whole thing. It's a pretty straight forward-plot: Vaughn's character is tossed in jail and given an ultimatum to save his wife: get himself thrown into a maximum security prison, and kill a specific man on Cell Block 99. It's a bit of a slow burner at first, and can slow down here and there in between the fight scenes, but damn, does it really kick in when the fists start flying. There are countless moments that made me wince throughout from how brutal and gory it was. If you're looking for a slow burner with some brutal action throughout, I recommend it.
I love the fact Black Mask cuts a "deal" with the Joker, and in his next scene he and his people are all trapped in a truck about to be burned alive. Gallows humor.
Finally got around to seeing this one and boy was it great. I want this to definitely become a franchise. Cant wait to get it on blu ray.
8/10
And don’t get me started on that action sequence in the stairwell....
