Joy Ride (2023)
To stupid to laught at
I had high hopes for this movie and it started fairly well and then it just went down hill VERY quick from there.
It seems to be with a lot of comedy movies now that if you just throw in lots and lots of sexual jokes and low class sexual humour then you have a top class comedy that everyone will love - WRONG.
This was like asking a 13 year old immature lad to make a funny film and it just doesn't work at all. Its just to in your face and it desperately tries to hard to be funny. I actually could not get right through this and switched if off to preserve my sanity and my soul and this is coming from someone who loves a good comedy like American Pie for example
I am not sure were all the good reviews are coming from but this is one movie I was give a wide berth to.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Great fun movue with plenty of action and humour
I did not really know what to expect when I started to watch this movie but right from the start I was pleasantly surprised.
The special effects were excellent and very imaginative. The actions scenes were great and there was loads of humour throughout which all added up to make a great fun movie for all the family. I love a film that does not take itself to seriously but which is also very engaging and fun
If you want a fun movie that the whole family can sit down and enjoy then no need to look any further. You will be in for a wild ride and I certainly hope they make a follow up to this as that is a film I would certainly watch.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
What was that ?
This movie was just silly nonsense and reminded me of a bad video game. People were holding their suits up like they were batman to shield themselves from bullets a few feet away and the fight scenes seemed awkward and slow like they were practising them before the actual shoot. To be honest I only gave this.one star as I like. Keanu Reeves and enjoyed the other John Wick movies especially the first one.
This is not a good movie and when John Wick was pushed off a ledge about 40 feet up and bounced off a concrete ledge before face planting a concrete floor and just got back up while all the time dancers around him paid no attention to what happened I knew it was time to turn it off.
I have no idea where the good reviews come from but do yourself a favour and go watch something else.... anything else.
Fast X (2023)
What happened to this franchise ?
I think Paul Walker would turn in his grave with the way FF has turned out.
What happened to the car racing movies which yeah the cars stunts etc were far fetched but you could forgive that and enjoy them. But now its so far removed from the original moves its not even laughable.
These movies are now basically just another marvel movie and there is not enough of them already is there
These guys and girls are super heroes now and the stunts are just plain silly. Even the CGI seems rubbish in places.
To be honest I did quite enjoy just turning my brain off and watching it for what it was (silly action nonsense) but I kept thing back to the good old days of Fast and the Furious and longing for those days.
Misanthrope (2023)
So.....S-L-O-W
When I saw the trailer for this it looked intriguing and exciting and when it started it lived up that promise...but unfortunately it was short lived before it came to a screeching halt. It was such a S-L-O-W movie it was nearly going backwards. With long scenes that did nothing for the movie such as the drawn out swimming scenes which added nothing to the plot. Also there was some hint at the main character Eleanor having some kind of childhood incident which scared her but we never go to find out what that was.
On the whole a movie with a lot of promise that turned out to be very slow and boring.
Nope (2022)
2 Stars for the special effects
I had high hopes for this when I saw the adverts. I loved the look of the UFO and how it darted around the clouds. This was much different to the big bold UFO's of movies such as independence day etc.
To be fair the special effects were excellent and the actual idea behind the nature of the UFO was very clever and something that has been discussed in UFO research the only reason I gave it 2 stars.
But the move itself was terrible and most of it made little sense. There were parts that seemed to have nothing to do with the actual storyline.
This movie was a huge disappointment and I was so looking forward to watching a good sci-fi
Do yourself a favour and give this a miss its not worth your time.
Senior Year (2022)
Great fun movie
I was looking forward to watching this and I was not disappointed. Yeah this kind of story had been done before (going back to school) but the whole coma part added a nice touch and give it more depth and emotion. I just kept thinking of what it would be like to wake after that long and missing that much of your life. Anyway enough of the seriousness and this movie was a laugh from start to finish and with great music. It also held a mirror up to some of the silly parts of life we take for granted now..... Great fun movie but movies with Rebel Wilson usually are.
The Northman (2022)
What was I watching
I love Viking movies and really enjoyed the Viking series. I was really looking forward to watching this but I was so disappointed. Right from the start it seems the whole movie was more based on the drug induced visions of the Vikings than telling any real story or developing the plot. I felt like I was actually on drugs watching this and had to turn it off halfway through.
The 355 (2022)
Don't believe the negativity what it yourself
I wasn't sure whether to watch this with all the negativity but I am glad I did.
It was a breath of fresh air to see a movie with the main roles being women but not over done like some girl power movie. I found the characters believable and human and it was great to see them actually getting hurt in fights with bruises and cuts after a big fight. Something which a lot of other movies could learn from
The action and fights scenes were well done and the movie kept me and my wife entertained throughout... We hope they do another one.
Finch (2021)
Haven't laughed so much in a long time
I really enjoyed this movie it was funny.... god was it funny. I have not laughed so much in a long time. I was heart warming and it was sad. This movie had it all an of course action with some brilliant CGI although the CGI did not take over the whole movie as some do.
Tom Hanks acted his socks off and was brilliant but the stars of the show were the two robots and Goodyear the dog. Jeff the main robot was so funny, very childlike and he reminded me so much of my autistic son
This movie had really only one person in it but it worked and it just shows what can be done with great story telling.
Watch it you will LOVE IT.
F9 (2021)
It was good eye candy but that is it
I think the key with the fast and the furious movies now (not the earlier ones) is to not take them serious at all. Turn your brain off and totally ignore physics and common sense and just enjoy them for what they are. Fast and furious now are super hero's but I did like how one of the characters even mentioned that as if acknowledging the silliness of it all.
The first fast and furious movies were brilliant and all about car racing etc. That time has passed and now they are just silly action movies so enjoy them for that.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
What a blast
I must admit I was not the biggest fan of the first movie. It was OK but not a favourite of mine.
Bring on 2021 and the new movie and what a difference. This was so funny and well written. Loved all the little funny scenes and quips. I was bad laughing when the the group were asked if there were any questions and the shark put its hand up (shark with hands that's how mad this is) and when they said yes... he looked at his had and said..... "Hand" and she said... yes its a hand.....
Really witty great action and lots of surprises... Brilliant movie certainly worth a watch ... or two.
Jungle Cruise (2021)
Great fun movie
I really enjoyed this movie. It was a classic feel good fun Disney movie.
The characters were all great (Loved Jack Whitehall character) and the action scenes and effects were all spot on.
A proper family film to enjoy with everyone.
A Dark Foe (2020)
No idea were the good reviews come from.... AWFUL !!!
I saw all the good reviews for this movie and thought I was on to a winner. How wrong I was.
This movie looked and felt like it was made for some school project or in someone's basement. It was terrible with awful amateur acting and a story that made no sense.
It was one of only a few movies I turned off as I could not bare to watch any more... Don't believe all the good reviews.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
At last a good action movie
Its been a while since I saw a really good action movie like this. It took me back to the days of alien and independence day. Its such a shame that this could not be shown in the cinema as it would have been epic on the big screen.
The story was excellent with some great chemistry between father and daughter and the creature effects were spot on and really effective as were the special effects. Loved the twists and turns the movie took and it kept me gripped to my seat.
Excellent movie and well worth watching.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Action..Funny,.. Sadness....Humour... It has the lot
Just got back from watching this at the movies with my wife and we both absolutely loved it. It has everything, humor, action, sadness and of course buckets of great action. Great to see a Firb in there from the original series. I loved the first one of these movies and thought it would take a lot to match it but they have.
Its truly amazing how far they they have come with special effects which are truly breathtaking in this movie
Benedict Cumberbatch was brilliant as a villain I also love to watch him in Sherlock Holmes, brilliant actor and I do hope we see many more of these movies and I think the enemy next time should be the Borg
