You forgot Mother! My favourite film of his by far
 
Must be good then as Creed 1 and 2 are really good films.
I have to say I thought Creed 3 was nowhere near as good as the first two. The back story with Creed’s former mate isn’t developed enough - he becomes a rival too quickly. Also there’s a storyline with Creed’s wife wanting him to open up emotionally and talk about his past which never goes anywhere. It’s worth watching overall, but I agree with Richard Brody’s review in the New Yorker magazine - he said it should really be 2 movies not crammed into one.
 
Tried watching 'Tar' because of the extremely high praise it's received. In the USA you can watch 'Tar' for free on Peacock.

I made it through the first 45 minutes - barely. It struck me as an over-wordy, pretentious, boring film about a conductor.

1/10. Stopped watching after I'd had enough.
Music or train conductor?
 
"Marlowe"

I think this is a record for me to be disengaged within 5 mins of a film!

I'll keep watching but I've never known a situation where there are two entirely different acting tropes going on; one where an actor plays the role like a classic rendition of homage and then there's Liam Neeson in Liam Neeson style, in Liam Neeson timing and Liam Neeson speak and I'm sat here anticipating 'a very special set of skills' any moment.

It's so bizarre...

That opening scene was supposed to be a homage to the original. Charged, snappy dialogue, with an undercurrent of sexual attraction.
But, as you say, Liam Neeson stuck his size 12s in there and fucked it up. The wrong guy to play that character.
The whole thing was piss poor. If you can't make a tribute film fit to lick the originals boots, pack away your ego and don't fucking try!!!
