Last Film You Saw

[TangerineSteve17]

This new Fincher movie Gone Girl.

First 30 minutes I found to be fancy, pretentious, meaningless film-making. After that though it did improve a lot and I had to watch in till the end. It's 2 hours 30 minutes long. I thought the start and the ending were made by the same person, and the middle was the best part.

6/10

Saw Forrest Gump for the first time last night. To be honest I don't understand why people love it. Hanks is excellent as he plays a deluded fantasist bullshitting to people at the bus stop but that's the problem. It's just all so unbelievable that what could have been a sad ending elicits no real emotion from the viewer.

The university of Colorado should explain it

Just watching '71 now, obviously I wasn't born then but is that what it was like in Belfast at the time? Only seen the first half hour so not in a position to comment really but seems a scary place, for everyone involved.

Just watched it mate not sure he would have survived as it was a horrible place at that time.

Watching first Star Wars film for first time - never seen any of them before

Actually, considering it is Cruise we're talking about, he isn't THAT bad in that film.

Reacher in the books is a 6'5 blonde haired brick shithouse. Its a decent film, I enjoyed it anyway, but Cruise is a million miles away from the character in the books.

I hadn't read the book, but I wasn't comparing the film to the book. A lot (most?) films that are inspired by books aren't as good as the book. I was judging the film in isolation. I'm not a Cruise fan, far from it. That's why I said, considering it was him, it wasn't that bad. Nor Oscar winning material, but it passes a couple of hours.
