Reply With QuoteMy boys were looking through now movies when they were over at the weekend and selected Assassins Creed. Beyond utter drivel and took itself rather too seriously. Still they enjoyed it I suppose.

The 2nd Kingsman film. Luckily on kodi and not sky store. Utter crap.

Not really in the 'Totally Rubbish' category, but the remake of Ghost In The Shell didn't live up to expectations. Whilst they kept many of the scenes from the original, the storyline had been butchered somewhat and dumbed down. Whilst the original made you think, this one just made me think how good special effects are these days...
Downsizing over the weekend. Luckily odeon limitless but still 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back. Horrible movie.. it had been a while since I saw people leaving the cinema that early

Spectre isn't as bad as Skyfall, which was utter crap.
Just watched Alien: Covenant. Absolutely dire. Worst in the series. Even Prometheus was better than this pile of turd.
The Shape of Water, with all the Oscar nominations I was expecting something special. Should have known better, what a let down.
Film about a mute woman and a water creature that likes boiled eggs.
Just weird..... and I bet it wins loads of Oscar's.
Mother! - I don't even know where to begin with my thoughts on this one?!
Forbidden Ground.
A truly terrible WW1 drama.
A nothing storyline
One dimensional characters
Woeful dialogue
... & he had a quartz watch !
...which they show repeatedly.

I watched these 2 on a flight to Hong Kong as I couldn't sleep.
American Assassins
The Great Wall (Matt Damon)
Open house
Stay away
Elvis & Nixon. Why oh why????
IMO virtually all modern films are rubbish.
I dread the transatlantic flight, scanning the films available and seeing the list of cak.
Why can't they have a Film Noir or Classics selection?
Cheers,
Neil.
Quite old now but the remake of "Point Break" my God there's 1.5 hours of my life wasted.
Watched “Only God Forgives” doesn’t really give much....Ryan Gosling must have spent 5 minutes learning his lines!

Along with the remake of the Seeeney and the last Indiana Jones film, the common link is Ray Winstone, when did someone decide he could act?
I have to agree, watched this at the weekend on Netflix and was sort of enjoying it, bit of a slow-build but that's OK and then along comes the completely pointless non-ending!
Having just watched Kiri on TV (though it's possible this could just be leading into a series two?) as well, I don't know why these directors/writers think it's clever to provide confusing, ambiguous or just plain missing endings!
Worst pointless ending by far
:)
Logan Lucky
Detroit
These both seem to be well regarded so maybe it's just me.
Yes, it was absolutely terrible, as was The Neon Demon. I think that Nicholas Winding Refn seems to have been given a bit too much praise and creative freedom since his earlier, more accessible films.
Nobody decided. He just told them......
Another one for the annoyance of the pointless ending of Open House.
What the hell.
Hmm, Methinks his days of being ‘The Daddy’ have gone, give it 5 years he’ll be on Eastenders
Watched Cloverfield Paradox on Netflix mainly to see if the reviews were true - could this amount of money, this production team and al the marketing hype produce something so epically horrible. Yes. Yes they can. It is utter utter tripe. But...so bad that we laughed out way through much of it. The story is full of holes, the dialogue is weak...oh I could go on. How it ever got made is totally beyond me.
Watched King Arthur the other day, totally unwatchable!
Who the hell thought this would make money and form then beginning-of a 5 part saga I have no idea......

How do you know it was quartz?
It wasn't a G-Shock was it?

Agreed, couldn't get it/into it.. at all.....think Guy Ritchie to blame.
The new Dunkirk film.
Death Race 2 - a straight to DVD (remember those?) spectacular!!
Loved it.
Tonight I have the joys of Death Race 3 (Inferno) looking forward to it too!
Is that a straight to Poundland release?

It ‘ticked’ on 1 second intervals - like a quartz, unless it was supposed to be a JLC Geophysic True SecondHow do you know it was quartz?

Were deadbeat watches unknown then?
I know clocks were sometimes fitted with such movements.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I never considered that it was a real possibility is 1914-18...
The worn & wound article suggests it first appeared in the 50’s...
There’s a rather pleasing sense of history about a dead-beat movement. In the early eighteenth century when British watchmaker George Graham began using Townley’s dead beat escapement in his regulator clocks, the second hand would tick just once a second. This made it far simpler—and more accurate—to use it for setting other clocks.
By the 1950s and ‘60s, watchmakers had managed to miniaturise the whole mechanism. Omega’s cal. 372 Synchrobeat (if you ask nicely, you can see one in Swiss Time Service’s mini-museum in Essex) and Rolex’s ref. 6556 Tru-Beat carried the dead-beat torch. At least, they did for a short time. A dead-beat seconds revolution never really took off, so both are among the rarest of vintage Omegas and Rolexes.

Cool.
You're probably right about it being a quartz watch, but I was surprised to see an early clock (Can't recall how early now, but pretty old) with a movement that ticked - I even looked to see if they had put a quartz movement behind the dial, but it was definitely all mechanical! :)

Get Out. Had 4.5 stars on Sky. First film we've turned off since Stay Tuned, which we walked out of back in the 90s.
A pile of crap.
I will second that.. sad really.

Ghost in the Shell
Don’t waste your time with that! Even Scarlett Johansson couldn’t save me turning off.
Baywatch worst movie ever.
John Wick: Chapter 2 - I really enjoyed the first but found the sequel too pretentious/contrived - ykwim
Suffered that King Arthur drivel with the fella from Sons of Anarchy. Well he's torpedoed his Hollywood ambitions with that steaming pile. Made me want to dig out my old dvd of Excaliber.

The 15:17 to Paris. It might have seemed like a good idea to cast the real heroes as themselves, but it wasn't. Terrible.
Foggy
I thought it was really good! I put off watching it because of the reviews, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Mind bogglingly awful. Arm disabled.
saw a bit of the Baywatch film on TV at the weekend, it must be in the top ten crap films of all time
I didn't like Drive at all. It was utterly tedious.
Only God Forgives is great. Every scene is tense. Loved it.
Neon Demon is not as good, but it's not boring, and it has some of the best cinematography I've seen. I liked it better than that Tom Ford thing that was out at the same time, everybody else seems to love that.
I sort of enjoyed it, in a so crap it’s sort of good way.
Cheers..

Lobster - What a waste of 2 hours!
I only watched the first hour until the images of the dog...then I stopped.
CHiPs was better, and that's saying something. Baywatch was only worth watching for all the cleavage.
I’m going to stick my neck out and say that this was OK. Yes, it was an obvious mishmash of sci-fi tropes, but I found it quite entertaining. (Then again I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for alternative reality/parallel universe stories).
Definitely a step down from the first and second movies though. To be fair, they’ve avoided direct sequels, and the first two were very different to each other, so it was a gamble going for “Sunshine-meets-Interstellar-meets-Event Horizon”.
Watch 47 Ronin last night. Was almost as disappointed as I was with the first 20 minutes of CHIPS that I endured the night before.
