[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Capernaum

 

A film about a 12 year old boy in Lebanon who ends up suing his parents.

 

Powerful, heart wrenching and very moving. The kid that plays Zain puts in an unbelievable performance.

 

Been watching some fucking boss movies of late and this is another cracker.

 

9.5/10

 

 

[Anubis]

Ad Astra - 6/10. A curious beast that doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. Probably more a character study punctuated by a few action sequences, which starts out as hard sci-fi but in the second half becomes altogether more improbable.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

The Hunt

 

A Danish film (starring Mads Mikkelsen) about a teacher who get wrongly accused of sexual abuse based on a lie from a young girl.

 

Slow paced, but very good nonetheless and good acting by all. Mikkelsen is class as always.

 

8/10

[cochyn]

Ad Astra. 6/10

 

Ponderous, improbable and devoid of any likeable characters. Borrows heavily from other space films that did it before and did it better. Watch Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' instead.

Toy Story 4 - They got away with making another Toy Story and it being good. More a story about the toys themselves rather than about a childhood rite of passage. Props to the brilliantly named Duke Kaboom voiced by Keanu Reeves. 8.5 out of 10

 

Aladdin - Disney's re-run of their back catalogue continues with another remake that left you shrugging about why it existed. Will Smith gives it a go as the genie but he can't scale the heights of Robin Williams and Guy Ritchie's direction gives some very bland performances but Naomi Scott makes a good Jasmine. 6.5 out of 10

 

Ralph Breaks the Internet - Sequel to Wreck-It Ralph that inexplicably isn't called Ralph Wrecks the Internet. Decent idea stretched beyond it's limits and once the game references run out so does the film. 5.5 out of 10

 

Bohemian Rhapsody - Very disappointing film which felt like the Ladybird guide to Queen. Biopics can often feel like a very linear route from A to B and none more so than here. We get very clumsy reasons why songs were named, written or performed, events are shunted around to serve a narrative that implies that Queen saved Live Aid. Terrific central performance from Rami Malek but too many of the details of Mercury's life are sanded down and the film feels too safe. Rocketman was the better biopic for me. 5 out of 10

[Duff Man]

Ad Astra - quite an achievement to make this kind of thing so dull. 5/10

[redheart]

Ad Astra...I actually loved it. Its what true Sci Fi is about. Its about grand ideas written small into a personal narrative rather than all crash,bang wallop space battles.

 

8/10

[Mendoza]

Rambo: Last Blood- plot wise about as basic as it gets. The carnage when it finally comes is very enjoyable- 6/10.

That is very kind. The fake background in the driving scenes was plucked from a straight to video film.

 

The plot is another of these father figure rescues daughter from kidnapper, but unfortunately its more 'The Prince' than 'Taken'.

 

Despite ripping off most of its ideas, it still managed to struggle filling its 90 minutes, with about 10 of these spent with a montage of the previous Rambo films, in a similar way to the last Creed film.

 

4/10.

 

Angel has Fallen 6/10

[Butch]

Toy story 4 was excellent. Graphics amazing as always. Hope it's not the last one. Another great character created named forky. Brilliant. 

[Stickman]

Midsommar 6/10 weird as fuck film that has some disturbing moments in it and a director that seems to have been on magic mushrooms all the way through, was far too long, if they'd knocked off half hour which they easily could have done then for me would have been much better..

Would have been a 5 but for Florence Pugh

[Paul]

I really enjoyed Toy Story 4. Thought it was better than the previous one.

Wow, some praise that. TS3 was exceptional. The allegory was subtle and beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing TS4. 

[Elite]

I thought Toy Story 4 was boring as fuck.

[redheart]

In the following order from best to worst

 

Toy Story 3

Toy Story 1

Toy Story 4

Toy Story 2

 

All excellent though

I'd say his performance was the worst thing about this horrible film.

[Red74]

Toy Story 3 is vastly overrated.
Humourless and mean spirited compared to the others. 
 

hard to separate 1,2 & 4 but I’d have to go with

1

4

2

3

I saw about 10 minutes of it on the telly the other night & thought it was a spoof until the adverts came on.

Only seen bits of it but it struck me as a steaming pile of shite. In my opinion, Rami Makek is nothing like Freddie Mercury. Not a patch on the fella who impersonated him on Stars in Their Eyes, years ago and he was crap.

[Paulie Dangerously]

First Man - really enjoyed this. Lot's of good, if dramatised, insight into the build up to the moon landing and the human cost. 4/5

 

Hotel Transylvania 3 - Disappointed that Dracula zinged with Erica when his love for Martha was always so pure. Seems like a sequel for the sake of a sequel. Still enjoyed it  2/5

 

Mulan - never seen this before. Rates up there with our favourite Disney films in the Dangerously household. 4/5

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Hotel Mumbai

 

Was never going to be an easy watch, but excellent film about the 2008 co-ordinated massacres in Mumbai.

 

8.5/10

[Carvalho Diablo]

Gran Torino

 

Funny and moving in equal meaasure. A wonderful film.

 

10/10

[Anubis]

Spiderman: Far From Home. 8/10. Not quite as good as Homecoming but still good fun. Tom Holland turned out to be a great pick.

[mars]

Ad Astra - pretentious, scientifically inaccurate tripe with a few bolted on action sequences that have little to do with the plot. I can imagine someone looking at the script, realising it was tedious, and suggesting adding random stuff like pirates, flying monkeys, sharks with lasers, etc. It did look great, and I appreciate Pitt's performance, but overall 3/10.

[Elite]

Rambo: Last Blood 6.5/10

 

Great fun, reminded me of Home Alone but on Steroids.
