And Daniel Craig can hang up his coat now, he's served his purpose. Someone should tally up how many times he's fixed his cuffs or done up his jacket in his Bond films, should be good for a lol as it's so fucking obvious. 

 

 

I'd love to see one for all of them. Pretty sure Roger Moore was worse

 

What I liked about Spectre/ Daniel Craig Bond: Casino Royale->Quantum->Skyfall-> Spectre are all one continous story. Which is something Bond films have never done. (Even if the connection between Sky and Spectre was horribly bad)

 

I think for me what could summarize the disappointment was a general sense of wasted potential. The action scenes had good ideas and were nicely shot but never culminated into anything great.

 

The opening tracking shot was amazing... but pointless. The helicopter fight felt like I had seen it before. The snowy plane chase was boring. The train fight was probably the best action scene but had no real pain or weight like in Casino Royale. The escape from the lair was laughably brief. The worst offender was the car chase in Rome which off the top of my head is the worst car chase I have ever seen. I kept waiting for it to start. Every few moments I would be anticipating a burst of action but it never came. Bond was just being perused at slightly elevated pace glancing in the mirror every now and then. There was no shooting, no clashing, not even pedestrians jumping out of the way. Bond ejected himself and it was over. That was it!? Even the headache-inducing car chase in QoS was better than that!

 

 

Jupiter Ascending, quick and dirty thoughts:

It had a ton of potential. Rarely does a new Science Fiction universe come along, and so I was excited for this one.

The villains were petulant children, they were boring, and honestly you get annoyed by them more than you ever care about them.

The heroes are just as bad. You honestly never care about any of them, their plight, or their story.

 

The action sequences were better than most movies. Also, zero shaky-cam bullshit

 

The CGI was really solid and amazing.

Jupiter Ascending

So terrible, but so beautiful. I actually saw it in theatre with one of my friends. We agreed that it's so bad it's good. Definitely a cult film. Also, the bits of "why am I wearing clothes?" and other questions that most people would actually ask were kind of awesome.

 

Apparently there was plans for it to be a triology, but I highly doubt that the other two will see the light of day as films. I think the entire thing would probably be better as a graphic novel. It might not reach the same number of people, but at least you wouldn't have to deal with the silly random yelling of the one brother.

 

But mostly it's a silly movie to be watched with large quantities of wine.

The Peanuts Movie. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. Exactly everything from the cartoon you've seen. Overall I can't find something to badmouth it.. But meh

 

This, but maybe a slightly more positive meh from mee.  I enjoyed it but it was like they just crammed random things in there because "Peanuts characters have done this before."  My son liked it, though, so that's whats important to me.

 

At least it stayed true to the original and wasn't some oddball fucking reboot, like now Charlie Brown is a goth kid or some such shit.

I just finished the movie, "The Stanford Prison Experiment."  I definitely recommend it.  I also watched a documentary on it on YouTube.  I read about it a while back in a psychology class.  I didn't even know there was a movie about it until today.  I definitely recommend it.

I'd been meaning to watch it this one, glad to hear something good. There's also a movie based on the Milgram Experiment that came out this year called Experimenter. I've heard a couple good things about, you should watch it and let me know.

Finally watched kingsman what a strange yet excellent film.

Also watched hitting the apex which was really long but better than I expected. The way the riders rode with the injuries they had was great to see but on the flip side Marco's tragic death really added to the documentary.

Nice to be surprised by both films.

I will definitely have to watch kingsman again as I'm guessing I missed somethings.

Aww man I just saw it!

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Oh my god! It was just amazing... I won't say any spoilers...

Iv been waiting for this so eagerly for about 8 months... I almost burst into tears on the opening titles... (I didn't btw)

I need something else to look forwards to now... It sounds incredibly sad but, wanting to see this film has been like the only thing I have looked forwards to in months, there's not been a day I haven't thought about it...

Now Iv seen it, all I can say is it was everything I could hope for!

Has nobody else seen it yet?!?!
