Too long and a sketchy script with some nice action scenes to keep you interested. A movie like this is only as good as it's villains performance and unfortunately this is poor. It's been done before and better. Bond is getting older but his female Companions are too much younger .Ok movie overall.

I wasnt expecting much from this movie as it was my lovely wifes choice of flick on this occassion.However,Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga 's were sensational and a powerful performance from Sam Elliot kept it real. I was lucky enough to see A Star Is Born for a second time and found it even more enjoyable as in the first viewing i was disbelieving of Coopers music performance. Lady Gaga's concert scenes were mesmerising.Soundtrack 5Stars.

Saw Aquaman this afternoon along with a decent amount of other cinema patrons.I found the movie mildly entertaining with impressive CGI and solid lead actors.However i found the transition from Land / Sea battles and bizarre sea creature alliances to everyday reality hard to engage. Halfway through the movie i could careless who became Ocean Master or King.I found Nicole Kidman annoying and was hoping The Trench Monster finished her off once and for all. I felt sorry for her on screen husband;3 stars

This is a great movie visually and a terrific psychological thriller. Thoroughly enjoyable and a compelling watch due to a top notch cast. One of the best movies i have seen since Parasite. Confronting from start to finish and not to be missed.

Watched Wrath of Man Saturday night with a decent crowd of movie goers. This movie starts ok with a Statham's usual 'Don't mess with me, don't you know who i am'? tough guy routine intimidating his new armoured truck work colleagues. Acting is ok and there are dates and flashbacks relating to the shooting of security guards and an innocent bystander which keep you interested . The action and plot are well paced however this is along movie at nearly 2 hours which felt more like a slow burn than a adrenaline rush. Overall nothing special here and a lazy ending which did not fit into the lengthy build up and drama established earlier .

Just watched Mortal Kombat 2021 tonight not really having any expectations other than a to be entertained for a couple of hours. A gripping,bloodthirsty first 10 minutes with some intense fighting and gruesome deaths sequences got me in. The movie then took a turn trying to establish a back story for a group of chosen fighters to compete in a tournament between feuding realms which has existed for centuries. The movie from here on has some high and low moments mostly to do with the script jumping around and some light treatment of character development . Fight scenes are better than any John Wick movie and characters like Kano, who was killed off too quickly are a standout. Overall a movie that entertained but didnt really stir any emotions and probably only for fans of the franchise. Finally the movie has a R rating i guess for graphic stylized violence and frequent use of the F bomb. Mortal Kombat could have been rated C for confusing! 3 stars.

A Quiet Place Part 2 is a spine tingling and intense horror fest not for people who are easily frightened. The sneaky murderous monsters in this movie will give anyone the creeps and wish they stayed at home. The sheer evil intent of the monsters and a seemingly defenceless human population make for dire watching with no chance for fun or any humour to be had. The acting is ok with all the cast delivering a grim, stone cold face performance from start to finish . A Quiet Place Part 2 cleverly keeps the audience quiet throughout by using long suspenseful sequences which accentuates the chilling action scenes. Overall, a pretty solid horror movie .

1917 was always going to be a blunt and brutal movie about bravery and sacrifice as WW1 was a grim protracted war,fighting without modern weaponry over baron landscapes.There was no super villain nor Hollywood stylized WMDs to spice up battles,instead trench and fix bayonet combat.I was anticipating a genuinely superior war movie,influenced by media hype,however i came away from the movie feeling let down.A gripping beginning follows two soldiers on a seemingly impossible mission which keeps you engaged for the first act of the movie.The action is sparse but the courage displayed by the young soldiers and audaciousness of the mission never lets up.1917 loosens its grip on you after some drawn out scenes that seem contrived and lack intensity.Maybe its due to there only being focus on a solitary soldier for most part with whom i found taxing at times.I wondered how it was possible to be wringing wet and wounded yet provide a fluffy letter intact?The movie has a dire and sombre feel, which although appropriate for the times never elevates you above it,The unlikely result of the mission becomes apparent too early with a hazy sequence of events which are not particularly probable or entertaining! Beautifully shot ,but lacking any real suspense or excitement.

This movie has more twists and turns than a rat with its tail on fire! Enjoyable but lengthy layered plot with a talented cast that keeps you engaged throughout. I would give Knives Out 5 Stars however there is something missing in the centre of this movie;like a donut! 4 Stars!

One word describes this movie , Bonkers !
