Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part II

Deadpool 2 - 8/10
Really annoyed that they chose to kill off his girlfriend but then he brought her back so that was good. The humour was great throughout and just got better towards the end. Finally seeing a decent Juggernaut was good surprise. Cable was badass, interesting to see where they go from here.

I was a little miffed (but laughed nontheless) that they gave Green Lantern the middle finger in the credits scene as GL is one of my favourite characters. Sure it wasn't the best movie but it wasn't that bad. Ah well they are rebooting it so hopefully they do the character justice.

Spoilers.

Dances with Wolves (1990) 7.5/10

Great Western epic with an engaging story. Great cinematography & production value. The Extended version I watched is just shy of 4hrs, so the story does drag slightly.

 

[SoldierMan]

Spoilers.

It's an old movie. How old does a movie have to be before you don't have to worry about spoilers?

Shazam - 8/10
The DC universe is my preferred comics universe so glad to see DC get this one right. Not perfect but a fun movie to watch. With Black Adam no doubt to feature in the next movie (I assume, as he is a great character). The Superman cameo was well done too, as short as it was. Supes vs Shazam no doubt is on the cards some time in the DCEU!

Snatch (2000) 8/10

Arguably the best crime comedy ever made. Tight plot, likeable characters & witty dialogue.

Don't you think Snatch deserves something closer to a 9 ?

It's my weighted rating. 9 implies something that is truly fantastic on every single level. I don't do 10s for context.

Which is why I said closer to 9 like 8.5? Lol

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

Probably one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Action sequences were lame and drawn out. Zero story. Absolute garbage. 3/10

He really needs to buy some stronger bullets so he doesn't have to shoot everyone 5 times in the head to make sure they're dead.

Life Is Beautiful (1997) 8/10

Beautiful bittersweet story. Told in such an inventive way.

 

[biometrics]

Yes, it's kak.

Don't think I finished it. First one was entertaining, this was trash.

Korsub of Far From Home dropped. I'll wait for blu ray.

Perfume (2007) - 8/10. Dark, compelling, faithful adaptation of the novel.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) 8/10

Watched this at least once a year since it came out - it's so cool.

 

[FiestaST]

American History X (1998) 8/10

Shockingly powerful watch with stellar acting from the 2x Edward's.
