Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part III

[OnlyOneKenobi]

Thor : Love and Thunder - 4/10

Hugely disappointed with this one, the humour was forced, bizarre and mostly didn't work. The action sequences were pretty weak, the plot was meh and the tone was all over the place.

The Black Phone (2021) 6.5/10

Grimly yet overrated for what it is. Some good suspense & play-through but not deserving of the hype. Good acting for a supernatural horror.

Jurassic World Dominion - 3/10

What a load of kuk.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Ah yes. Thank god there is movies that isn't shot by people having an heart attack*. Wide, deep and long shots included. Story over just sfx it. More than just blood and sex, not that I don't enjoy them, but at times it is also nice to slow things down and take a more nior approach. I'm talking about the new batman movie (2022): Scoring 8/10 leaning towards 8.5.


*I'm so over people trying to make movies (and hide their bad ****) with The Shakes. No one wants that kak; it is a rather bad and comes off as the grips having a heart attack...

Must be because Chris Pratt is in both of these movies, so let's blame him .

That Marcel the Shell looks awesome. I assume it's for children?

I guess that depends what you think is for kids. I'll watch it quite happily.

I wouldn't want heavy swearing and sexual innuendo.

Oh yeah the kids can watch it for sure. Only issue for me is finding a cinema where it's showing or I'd have gone to see it with my kids already.

Galaxy Quest (1999) - 7/10

 

[Herr der Verboten]

The previously disadvantaged phone 2021: 7/10

Hardly something I would call horrific, bloody or shocking. Still it has some merit in good acting, but as a decent horror I would personally look some place else.

Galaxy Quest (1999) - 7/10

The BTS documentary is great.

The BTS documentary is great.

Galaxy Quest is one of my favourite movies of all time. In fact I'm overdue a rewatch.

The Last Duel - 7/10
A drama set in medieval France with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Adam Driver. An interesting watch but a bit drawn out at over 2 hours.

Galaxy Quest is one of my favourite movies of all time. In fact I'm overdue a rewatch.

Thanks for the reminder. Only watched it once, but it's a blast!
