The Professor (2018)
What a waste of space
Why was this movie made?
What was the point of it?
Some good acting and nothing more.
I will not get back the time lost, watching, waiting for something interesting to happen.
Fatman (2020)
Good fun
Well worth 90 mins of your life.
Goggins is great as is Gibson
The 2nd (2020)
Awful, just awful
I didn't believe the bad reviews and watched this.
Starts off reasonably OK - but then gets bad and then even worse.
Not even a B movie - seen TV episodes of cop action shows better than this.
Incredibly cheesy, corny and cringeworthily embarrassing.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Probably the best thing I have seen this year
Rylance, Redmayne and Ali G on top form :)
Made even better knowing that its based on a true story.
Intense movie with some great dark humour and superb acting.
I found the Judge's behavior incredibly hard to believe - if it was based on fiction I would have said it was way over the top - but discovering it is fact based makes it incredible. The sheer frustration and helplessness of the defendants and lawyers portrayed perfectly.
I loved Ali G's american accent and likewise Mark Rylance's.
Redmayne performance is also top notch.
The riot scenes really seem to portray the brutality and violence well.
I was never a fan of Ali G nor the Borat movies because of the crass humour, but with this film and some more of his recent serious roles, I will be keeping an eye out for Sacha Baron Cohen.
2hrs well spent!
The Gentlemen (2019)
Cracking good fund - Hugh Grant is absolutely hilarious and Lady Mary Crawley is awesome too!
I like Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam and generally enjoy most of the stuff they have starred in.
But for me the main stars of this film are Hugh Grant, Michelle Dockery and Colin Farrell (and I don't generally like Colin - except for his Bruges movie!)
Hugh Grant is absolutely hilarious in this film - I really wish he had more screen time. After his fun role in Paddington I think he plays villains better than the good guy!
And watching Lady Mary Crawley playing an Essex gangsters strong independent partner was just incredible. I wish she had much more screen time as well.
And Colin Farrells character is incredibly good fun too - really enjoyed every moment he was on screen.
In contrast Charlie Hunnam's character and acting was pretty dull and flat.
If you enjoy an gangster movie with some humour then watch this- time well spent!
IMDb on the Scene - Interviews: Cursed (2020)
dont understand the 1 star reviews
Good acting, interesting story line, good effects - what's not to like?
Oh,maybe they don't like the female lead or the brown person?
Dag II (2016)
Watched it by mistake - enjoyed throughly
So, I started watching 'Brothers in Arms' on Prime Video - but it was actually Mountain 2 - wrongly labelled on Prime Video!
I wanted to watch an action War type movie - so carried on watching and thoroughly enjoyed it,
Hoping they release Mountain 1 on Amazon or Netflix- will keep an eye out.
Yes it is cheesy in places - but no more so than any similar Hollywood movie.
Ford v Ferrari (2019)
Not a car nut, nor a racing nut - but I really really enjoyed
Truly entertaining from start to finish.
Forget the great races, the drama, the story, just Christian Bale doing a Brummie accent - what more could you want?
The Mandalorian (2019)
Looks great, shame about the plot, dialog and musical score
Think they spent all the money on making it look good.
The dialogue is incredibly corny/clichéd/cheesy..
The musical score is ill suited, one bit in the 1st episode reminded me of the Rocky music - but nothing much was happening on screen!
And the story is just mostly filler / padding -which does not make sense as the episodes are so short!
Jack Ryan (2018)
Season 1 great stuff. S2 what the heck? Ruined
What a great let down, s1 was incredibly entertaining with limited cheesy or corny plot twists, but S2 is a joke. And yes I watched the whole season. The final episode of S2 is better than the rest of the season, but that's not saying much
Little Women (2019)
More entertaining than Star Wars Rise of Skywalker
Might seem like a silly title for the review, but I watched this and the Star Wars movie in the same week.
Star Wars as a long time fan with my son and this film with my wife.
Have to be honest I was surprised to find myself enjoying this more. Not because Star Wars was bad, but this was much better acted with a more entertaining storyline.
Even Emma Watson finally did some decent acting, hopefully onwards and upwards for her.
Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
Terrible - complete let down. A movie aimed at kids which my son did not enjoy!
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie, and my son had been bugging me for months to watch the new one.
What a load of rubbish - unlike the first movie, this one is aimed purely at kids - and yet my son was thoroughly disappointed.
Incredibly cheesy, corny, predictable story line.
What a waste!
Riddick (2013)
Good way of spending 2 hours
Obviously nowhere near as good as the original Pitch Black, but still a enjoyable movie.
Good action sequences, lots of cheesy dialogue and Riddick being unrealistically tough and resourceful.
Only spoiled somewhat by the poor ending - but all good fun otherwise.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Yes predictable, yes cheesy, yes far fetched - but great fun!
I have to agree with many of the 1 star reviews, this is totally far fetched, totally predictable and quite cheesy in places.
BUT - I loved watching it. CGI is awesome, the storyline is pretty good with a definite beginning, meaty middle and (predictable but satisfying)ending.
Did I mention the CGI is good, wow - really good - most of the time it felt like I was watching real apes!
Loads of tense / exciting scenes - e.g. the bit where Koba tricks the humans to get their gun - really well done.
This is what a blockbuster should be like - entertaining (unlike that crappy Godzilla I watched recently)!
I am currently compiling a list of movies I can't wait to watch with my SciFi loving son when he is old enough - and this is definitely on that list.
Godzilla (2014)
Biggest waste of two hours - glad I did not pay to watch it!
What a ripoff - this has got to win the award for most misleading movie trailer ever. I thought I was going to get a watch a film with Bryan Cranston and Godzilla playing lead or major roles. How wrong was I? Bryan's character is dead after less than 15mins screen time and Godzilla probably has even less screen time - including the bits where all you see are the spikes on his back sticking out of the water. I am just so glad I did not pay to watch this - I would have demanded my money back. I feel sorry for those who missed it in the Cinema and decide to spend £15 quid to buy it on BluRay. The story line is just dumb, the monsters look like rejects from Pacific Rim and you only get one half decent monster fight near the end. Even then its too dark to see what is going on half the time.
Total ripoff!
Taken 2 (2012)
Complete waste of 90 minutes of my life..arghhhh!
I noticed the 1 star reviews on here but though - surely it cant be that bad. How wrong was I!!
This has got to be most ridiculously cheesy film I have seen in a long long time.
So many things just wrong with the plot.
Girl who is struggling to pass her driving test in the USA suddenly becomes a pro getaway driver. Girl manages to explode hand grenades in the tourist area of a city as busy as Istanbul without injuring anybody or getting arrested. Call to prayer every five minutes of the movie. Menacing Muslim women with burkas and veils at every turn. Seriously this is Istanbul - NOT Tehran or Jedda! Totally incompetent Albanian gangsters - if they are this incompetent how have they managed survive in their criminal world this far?
Despite all the above I watched to the end thinking I would get some good mindless fight sequences etc. Again wrong! Nothing satisfying at all. Even the final fight in the hamaam looked so odd - Liam Neeson versus some short podgy looking Albanian gangster in a tracksuit - wrong, wrong, wrong!
If you are yet to see this, then please don't waste 90 mins of your life...You cant get it back!
