Expected utter garbage. But instead had a great time watching this. Great CGI, fun story, I mean don’t go expecting state of the art writing, you know? The Rock does his thing, the acting overall is fine. Most importantly we get to see huge ass creatures fucking shit up and the human story is kept to a minimum. As it should.
Where the Godzilla reboot and also King of the Monsters failed, this one succeeds. Genuinely find it way more entertaining than those two movies.
Also started watching Miami Vice. I watched this back in the day when I was younger, but never saw it all. It’s still damn good. That 80s Miami vibe will never get old and Crockett and Tubbs are just bad asses!
Went to see the movie Knox goes Away last Tuesday. Michael Keaton is fantastic in this. I had zero knowledge of the movie, and that adds a lot. Highly recommend to not watch a single trailer.
Yesterday I went to Garfield with my nephew. Fun movie. I really wanted to love it though. It worked great in the scenes that take place at home with Jon, those were taken straight from the comics. But the movie has a general story too and for some reason it didn’t click with me as much as the scenes inside the house.
Is their two versions of Civil war released ? One more graphic than the other. Colleague reckons the ‘car wash’ scene for example is more graphic in one version
I watched Knox goes away tonight mate, bloody brilliant. Refreshing to see a well made suspense thriller type these days. Your recommendations seem to match my tastes. Keep em coming !
As for Knox goes Away. This is such a good example of how it is good to not watch every single movie trailer. A lot of these trailers spoil stuff that will lessen the impact when you watch it.
I had zero expectations for this, felt it was very unnecessary to make another one. Trailer looked alright but I wasn’t convinced. Went to see it today without having seen any opinions, reviews or whatsoever on it, which is refreshing since that can absolutely change the way you go into a movie.
Pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. The new apes are great and likeable, even if the full on English speaking took some getting used to for me. Freya Allen is nice as well. Nice enough story, fantastic CGI and beautiful locations.
Having never played the games, I thought the first half was fun enough, in a cheesy b-movie kinda way. But then it gets inexplicably boring for a bit, before getting dumber with every episode.
Overall it’s just about passable and I’ll give it a 6/10. I can certainly see some potential for future seasons. But the writing (and some of the acting) really needs to improve.
I had my nephew over last weekend and since his father had a extra ticket for the cinema we went to see Kingdom of the planet of the Apes and IF.
I had seen Apes very recently, but I loved it just as much. The CGI is just insane and it’s criminal that these movies have not won any awards for best effect. The Apes looks so damn good, wow. And the new protagonist Noah is very cool. Apparently they have NINE movies planned, sheesh.
IF was really nice too and quite heartfelt at moments, great for kids but for adults as well, absolutely!
Just saw this in the cinema. A drama comedy and very heartfelt. Had no idea what this was gonna be, because my cinema on (almost) every Tuesday has a sneak preview. Really liked it.
