Last Film You Saw

F1.
If you're a fan of motorsports, and F1 in general, you'll probably hate it. Contrived and unrealistic, tries to combine real drivers and teams (without really showing them) with the fake team. Nothing of note to see here really, but it is well filmed I suppose, or is it, given the quality coverage we get of the live races these days.
Seems like a film that didn't really need to be made, as most of it is just brundle commentary stating the obvious in an annoying way.
Brad Pitt has little to work with, or do here, but he is box office and a great movie star, I'll give him that. Without him this film flops.
If youve never seen a race car going fast, its recommended, you'll be impressed, for the rest of us, its a bit, we've seen it all before.
A poor mans tarmac top gun.

Thursday murder club. Great cast, great acting. Weak plot, got bored after an hour. Might try again, might not.
I'll probably forget.

No Time To Die - Watched it when it 1st came out (2021) and enjoyed it just as much this time. Craig was a fantastic Bond, easily the best of the bunch.

He might not have been the best bond, thats always a debate, but he made the best run of bond films, he brought them bang up to date and added a menacing side to the character.
Look back at say, Roger Moores efforts and they are comical in comparison
 
In the last two weeks
F1 great race sequence awful film
Full of cheese reminded me of silver dream racer with David Essex, that being said I hold my hat up to Brad as he actually drove the cars. 4/10

Mission impossible not bad typical Tom cruise shenanigans kinda enjoyed it
6/10

Superman wtf have they done here, basically a kids comedy and the worst superman film ever. Man of steel is one of my favorite films but this abomination
Which me and the wife actually went to the pictures to watch was horrific.
1/10

28 years later turned off after 30 mins
Another franchise ruined.

2/10 for the bit that I watched.

Firstly, Gunn is a comic book nerd and a screenwriter and all he's tried to do is marry a lot of things together, which is why it took him a long time to find an angle to come in from, repeating what I said earlier.

And secondly, I really understand the tokenism directors offer in film because the majority is written from the Caucasian eye's view of ethnic interaction. So, imagine trying to import that view from the comics interpreting Black interaction from the page to the screen. It's like a double Caucasian eye in that regard. I wasn't sure why 'Mr Terrific' needed any slight ebonic type and bombastic language to rep a Black man (a superintelligent one, at that) on screen. It was a little jarring to be fair, but thought this may have been a way for Gunn to 'ground' and relate the character, somewhat. Whilst I think he should have discussed the overt depiction with others whom the character supposed to represent, in the end, I found it minor compared to the overall effectiveness of the character on screen.

'Superman' putting himself in peri;? Sure, otherwise what's the point in making the film? There has to 'stakes' involved or the film would have lasted 10 mins, tops!

As for the 'alien surrendering himself to authorities', is this not a spin on what Snyder did? Both tried to present 'Superman' indicating himself as not a threat despite the fact he could smash everyone in milliseconds! And he does to the US as he lives there, no? He chooses to live in a place where he interacts or he could have just lived in the Antarctic away from Humanity.

ironically, Gunn addresses US jingoism to the audience and, somehow, you looked past it!!

But also, I agree, it could be a film made for 12 year olds that grown ups should ignore...

Yes! This!
He had a rogue streak and an open-ness about him.

Skyfall is my favourite Bond film, it has backstory for Bond. Him breaking in to M's flat etc is great too...
