Mostly meh, I was bored through most of it.

Couldn't have been that bored to give it an average score.

Oh you’re right! I was mistaken, I was massively thrilled through all of it!

15/10 - best movie ever!

Yeah, that's what I meant

The Lego Movie 2.
7.5/10. Improves on the original in every way, great humour etc. Loses some points for treading some very familiar ground in terms of the story, and for unceremoniously erasing Batman's family from existence from the Lego Batman movie. Also if you're familiar with Lego, you know what kind of character Rex is which makes that portion of the story less enjoyable

Death Race 1 - 5/10 average predictable full of stereotype cliches in all the characters
Death Race 2 - 3/10 they try and make the Frankenstein character a big thing/franchise but its so predicable boring and unoriginal Lauren Cohan is fit that is about it

Lion King.

Just the original, but with none of the heart nor soul.

Technically a marvel, but just butchered...

Lion King was good, obviously not as good as the original but doubt literally anyone expected it to be.

They made some weird decisions with it though. Like almost the whole film is a direct copy, shot for shot, word for word. Maybe I just know the original too well but found it really distracting, especially when they'd just change one word in a sentence so it ends up sounding slightly off, as if they're doing a reading of the original but didn't quite fully memorise the script.

And then, despite being mostly identical they cut out or shortened some of the most important scenes. The worst one was the whole, 'the past can hurt' etc scene with Rafiki which isn't in it at all. The whole moral lesson bit or whatever you want to call it, that pushes Simba to go back and face the past? Nah don't need it I guess.

The realism is cool and obviously is impressive but it probably could have been better film if they'd gone for something slightly more stylised, then they could have had more fun with the Can't Wait to Be King song etc.

Thought Scar was good, was actually a slightly different take on him rather than someone just trying to copy what Irons did.

Beyonce was bad and oversings then her new song gets shoved in at a random point and doesn't fit at all.

It peaks at the beginning with Circle of Life which is still obviously the best film opening of all time.

ramble over, now please make live action Lion King 2 because that one's too underrated thanks

The new versions of the songs, some of them are strawberry floating dreadful. Hakuna Matata especially.

I was kind of wanting to give it a go, but I think I will not bother. It seems completely redundant.

I'll just watch the blu ray version of the original :wub:

It's a fantastic opening tbf. Are we going to have a "best film intro" eliminator next?

The intro to the original Lion King is incredible, especially in the context of what other people were doing with animated movies in the mid-90s.

That's literally the character changing moment of the original film. Why would they delete it?!

Love Lion King 2. Actually saw this one first, so maybe I'm biased, but it's my favourite Lion King movie. The soundtrack is underrated, especially He is Not One of Us and Zira's Lullaby.

Apollo 13.

Seen it loads of times, own the DVD but it was on telly so naturally I have to watch it again. It's an incredible story, masterfully told.

10/10

The Big Sick - 9/10

Loved it. So sweet and funny. Had me welling up to.

I just watched Mute which is supposed to be the sequel to Moon.

The film has strawberry float all to do with Moon at all.
Moon is about a guy on a Moon Base and Mute is about a guy in a random US city going on a rampage to find his girlfriend.

The guy on the moon pops up on a TV in a background shot for about a couple of seconds and a couple of gas stations have Moon Industries written on them but apart from that there's strawberry float all that links the films.

It's not a terrible film but it is strawberry floating confusing :fp:

.

Mute is one of the worst films in years, the very epitome of someone coming up with a concept before a story. The character's muteness is completely seperate from the rest of the film's themes and just seems to be there as a gimmick, the entire thing is essentially two plots that never really fit together, two of the characters that the film is desperate for you to like are in fact two of the worst drawn characters I've ever seen and the pedophile angle is so incredibly poorly handled it's genuinely sickening. The one positive is it's futuristic version of Berlin which is really cool.

Terrible, terrible attempt at a movie.

Interesting fact: it was written before Moon and was originally a modern day East End gangster flick before Jones retrofitted it into the Moon timeline.

I saw The King of Kong last night. Again. I love how the supporting characters are totally un-airbrushed... they're wonderfully genuine. Billy Mitchell remains compulsively watchable as a total ass, too. [8].

I wondered why the link between the 2 films was so tenuous.
I watched it because there was supposed to be a court case about the clones from Moon all turning up back on earth and that didn't happen and I'm not sure why I carried on watching as it wasn't great and the paedophile aspect was terribly done.
Also the rampage aspect was odd as he'd just wander into a nightclub and kick the gooseberry fool out of people and this supposed bad guy base had like 6 bouncers who were all huge but were strawberry floating terrible at fighting.

The Amish are the future's Spartans who knew right?
