John Wick 3. Some films are so bad they’re good but this is just mind numbing drivel.

The Marksman on Prime.
He doesn't really do any marksmanning.
It might be better than Ice Road, but I don't want to make that judgement.
Good man! I can sleep well knowing it wasn't just me then. Oh yeah the pool scene, memories coming back now, perhaps it's time to re-watchOriginally Posted by Brighty
The Village In The Woods. Amazon Prime. Couldn't get beyond 30 minutes as it had no story and some of the worst amateur dramatics acting ever filmed.
Eternals... words fail me.

Gone in 60 Seconds, the 2000 remake with Nicholas Cage.
This film is garbage and the CGI effects are totally unconvincingly awful. Yuk.
I just can't understand why this rubbish film was responsible for the massive popularity in converting so many perfectly good Ford Mustangs, at great expense into clones of the Eleanor car in the film.
Thank god the Eleanor fad now seems to be over.
Now it will cost a lot of money to convert these poor clones back the the nice original Mustangs they used to be before they were completely ruined.
Mortal Kombat’s a load of old poo isn’t it?
Red Notice (2021)
Dwayne Johnson (no relation to our dear leader)
Ryan Reynolds (funniest man alive apparently)
Gal Gadot (can't see any negatives)
has to be one of the most excruciatingly bad films ever made how on earth these 3 signed up for it is beyond belief..

'Next' starring - Nicholas Cage .. no words..

all saved by watching -"No Country For Old Men" for 7th time ...
I loved it!
I didn't mind it.
You're right though, it was a bit poo. Kano saved it, absolute star, I was rooting for him the whole way through.
There is a really funny series on the "Screen-Rant" Youtube channel called Pitch Meetings. They did quite a funny review of it;

It was full of holes, but my wife and I, with our 24 year old son, rather enjoyed it, too.
Brains out, knock about fun.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I enjoyed Red Notice too, more so than NTTD honestly...maybe Ryan Reynolds could be the next Bond, there were a couple of moments in RD when the music I thought did veer towards the Bond theme deliberately. Looking forwards to the follow up.
Cloud Atlas - no idea what that was all about
Cage hasn’t done a good film after Con Air. Or was C.A. a nice film because Malkovich and Buscemi were in it?
Shepherd.
I’d hesitate to call it “TOTALLY RUBBISH”. It would have made a half-decent filler episode in an Amicus portmanteau. But it can’t sustain the thick-end of two hours and the ending is as limp as a vicar’s handshake. Pity, as it has its moments.
Ad Astra - incomprehensible, tedious, space oddity
Indeed! Had high hopes going in, but it went absolutely nowhere.
Godzilla vs Kong
I have a thing about watching a film to the end, so this is currently running in the background while I watch mould growing in the window frame.
These CGI heavy things are far too cheap to make now - just churning them out. And shame on Sky Cinema for giving it 5 stars. I’ll never learn.
^ That’s a shame, thought I had sorted my Friday night movie when I saw that was available, might give it a go anyway.
Cheers..

Might as well watch a cartoon.
Not a lot of difference.

I was forced to endure the ordure of 'The Mummy 2017' this soggy evening, due to Mrs Smith being unfeasibly fascinated with it.
That is until I pointed out what complete crap it is and strangely, unusually, She conceded the point round about when Russel Crowe inexplicably turned into Jekyll or Hyde (wtf!), with a gen-u-wine Dick van Dick cockerny accent. Still not sure what it was about, apart from Tom Cruise shouting as he does in every film he ruins.
Treehouse. On Prime. Turned it off very early into the film it was that bad.
Too cheap to make? Budget was 200 million.
Watched it last night with the kids. All quite predictable but not a bad Saturday Night movie overall and trimmed to under 2 hours which suits me just fine (I'm getting old - I hate 3 hour epic bum-numb-a-thons!
Two things - the sound balance was atrocious, we had to turn it up to hear the dialogue and turn it down for the action sequences. Not the norm for Sky movies I have to say.
Second... the utterly pointless sub-plot with Millie Bobby Brown. I appreciate they'd already signed her on after Godzilla: King of Monsters but I wouldn't have missed any of her scenes. In fact I reckon the movie would have been far more coherent just following the main story of two monsters fighting and the scientists off on their "Hollow Earth" adventure.
Fair enough - actually my favourite bit was the credits at the end. There were a huuuuge number of people involved, and a huge number of locations, so there must have been some live action scenes somewhere, just didn’t look like it to me...Too cheap to make? Budget was 200 million.
Who knew that you need a foam tech foreman for every two foam tech assistants?!
Saw spin off 'Spiral' on Prime. They managed to make it both violent and boring at the same time. Terrible acting throughout. Pony.
The Wrath Of Man.................
Dire, dire, dire
Quite agreeThe Wrath Of Man.................
Dire, dire, dire
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Yep, I’m usually a Guy Ritchie fan, Wrath of man, was hollow , boring and had hardly any storyline .
So going off the 'cast list' this should be worth a watch i thought to myself...
The notable Cast of "The Last Legion"...some fabulous talent..
Sir Ben Kingsley
Colin Firth
Peter Mullan
Iain Glenn
Rupert Friend
Owen Teale
James Cosmo
Robert Pugh
should have turned it off after 30 minutes as just woeful.....however it has one saving grace who appears at about 31 minutes "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan" ....wow what a stunning lady....who's mere presence saved the next 60 minutes....and no it's not pervy as she's nearly as old as me ...
other than that what a pile of crap, I often wonder how 'A' listers like Kingsley and Firth get pulled into such garbage - but probably £££'s
The Wrath Of Man.................
Dire, dire, dire
You are so right - dire doesn't cover it - absolutely appalling. Statham like others made one good film and the rest are rubbish !!
Advertised on radio just now, as: "The most widely anticipated action thriller of the year"
"Frozen" - better.
On looking back on wrath of man I agree, fair to middling effort at best.
I watched Hummingbird over the weekend on Netflix, Jason being menacing and brooding as usual, but with a bit more depth to his character this time.
Worth a watch to pass 100 minutes away without too much thinking

2067 on Amazon Prime, just don’t bother! Awful plodding time travel film with a twist so obvious you can see it coming in the first 20 minutes
Antipodean SciFi with possibly the smallest costume budget going.
Oh dear, I really quite liked it and so did my 86 year old mother

Matrix Resurrections - massively disappointing.
Encanto.
As far as Disney drivel goes this takes the biscuit. If youve seen Moana then the plot is similar.
Utter tosh.
The King's Man - awful and particularly disappointing after the first two were surprisingly amusing
Voyagers
Sci-fi end of the world send teens into space on a multi generational voyage, oh look it’s gone all ‘lord of the flies’ my how surprising… Total pony.
For absolute pony look no further than the latest M Night Shyamalan offering, Old. Or don’t, please don’t.
Venom let there be carnage
A steaming pile of wasted energy.
The acting was awful, set pieces were either dull or confused and the whole thing was total crud.

Just watched the Twilight series for the first time..... why did I do that?
Partly as I'm away working and needed something to watch in the hotel - but still - they were rubbish!
Also - I'm a bit OCD and , having watched one, I couldn't just leave it - had to watch the rest. The same happened with the resident evil films - more drivel but my OCD wouldn't let me watch just the first one.
Cheers,
Mark C
Can't argue with that. Love most of the Marvel films (they're getting a bit "samey" though) but Carnage was utter crap. A sequel for sequels sake. Cash grab. Yuck.
Morbius looks promising, but the trailer does have heavy "Venom" vibes.
Power of the Dog
Spent most of the movie waiting for something to happen... And when it did...°sigh°

I advise giving Doineann a miss. The male lead over-acts consistently and everyone else just drifts along in a coma of tedious woodenness. I normally rate Brid Brennan, and I've seen her on stage, but she does nothing to redeem the film at all.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
We just watched Disturbing the Peace with Guy Pearce. Just awful.
Fast & Furious 9
Utter shite. Please end the franchise now

House of Gucci is proof that Ridley Scott needs to have his free pass to make movies revoked. Literally (and I’m not exaggerating) the worst film I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t even so bad it was good. Appalling
