  • I'm selling a couple of pairs of sunglasses if anyone is interested - the TF QoS pair, and the Vuarnet pair from NTTD. (I've gone right off Daniel Craig since NTTD!) ;) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134670409249 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1346…

  • After seeing Nolan's snoozefest last night at the cinema, I'm starting to appreciate Indy 5 a lot more now. In many ways I enjoyed it more than Mission Impossible too. Definitely took me by surprise.
  • Saw the snoozefest last night. Not impressed at all. Nolan is slowly going downhill now with each new movie. Tenet was awful, this isn't that much better. Very long, too much dialogue, and also didn't think the film really delivered on the messag…

  • @mtm Yes pretty spot on with your review. I really enjoyed the film (probably more than I did Indy 5) but it certainly still had it's flaws, which you've properly highlighted. Fortunately the action scenes are so well done (particularly the endin…

  • Saw it last night on IMAX. Brilliant! Edge of your seat action thrills, breath taking, jaw dropping real stunts, not too much noticeable CGI, fast-paced, and came out of the cinema blown away, on an absolute high. Cruise still knows what makes cinem…

  • My verdict - much better than I thought it was going to be. Still a bit too silly in parts, still a bit too much CGI, but way better than the last one. Dare I say it it, probably on par with TOD. I thought the opening 20 minutes would be the best…
  • I watched the original trilogy back to back this week, ready for the cinema tonight. A few things struck me - 1. Raiders is a perfect 10/10 blockbuster film. There are not many that can claim that title - Jaws, Back to the Future. It is faultl…
