I was going to make the final round longer and even harder than it is, but in the end it was getting tricky to find decent one star reviews to use.

Across the rounds it seemed like there was a fairly high proportion of sci-fi and fantasy films. Out of interest is that because of your preferences or because it was easier to find 1 star reviews in those genres?

Deciding which films to feature often involved me looking to the right from my desk and seeing what films are sitting in my blu ray pile. :slol:

If i couldn't find a decent review for one movie though, i simply looked for another, it was actually pretty random at times and largely depended on what i could track down.

Can't be long left now - looking forward to the reveal. Had to miss a couple out and guess a few so I expect Skarj and his insane horror knowledge to take over here.

Got the second highest score this round, only not knowing Bad Boys II (has anyone even heard of that movie?!)
Came 6th overall, exactly in the middle.
Well done Cora you magnificent bastard.
Thanks for a fun quiz DJ. Going to miss it but hopefully you bring out a new quiz soon as this was very fun and I've learnt some new movies from it!

Thanks guys, fairly pleased with myself if I'm honest. :lol: :lol:

And if it makes you feel any better Skarj, I got caught out a beast in the first round by the Matrix question.

Running time was the clue, the third one is interminably long.

Bad Boys II is the answer I was most proud of - rewatched it quite by accident recently and remembered the horrendous plot and jokes. It truly is a vile movie, as is the original and most likely, the upcoming threequel.

Also Verm, Birdman is great and M:I2 is the most stylish film in the series. That John Woo look. :wub:

Considering Bad Boys 3 is being made I assume people have heard of 2

Oops! Yeah I would have been joint bottom with OR on 6 points for that round. :lol:

I did get the correct Pirates though so that's confirmation that I'm better than Moggy and therefore deserve to have won this. ;)

MI2 was absolute dog turd, all style, no substance.

Dougray Scott was a dreadful villain, and Thandie Newton was like a cardboard cutout.

Literally never heard of VHS, The Innkeepers or Hocus Pocus (presumably not by Focus?)

I thought 10 was San Andreas which I thought a very reasonable guess (it was a disaster movie set in LA!) and I went for the wrong MI sequel :(

Great quiz D.J, thanks for running!
