What Was The Last Film You Watched?

[Raisin]

Bright. Netflix Original with Will Smith. Watchable but not anything special.

 

[noel]

Kingsman 2 - not a shade of original....few funny moments but glad I didn't go to cinema....overall pretty poor effort...shame as first was great

 

[noel]

got round to finally watching some marvel stuff on netffix

Punisher on Netflix....fucking awesome full 10/10 with some of the best ever revenge killings known to man

daredevil - not bad - obviously brilliant when punisher appears in it

defenders - next notch down from daredevil - rest of crew a bit lame .......

 

[plod]

Eddie the Eagle - 9/10 thoroughly enjoyable

Hidden figures - 8/10 seemed slow to start but again really enjoyed it

Got Dunkirk here and Guardians of the Galaxy to watch

 

[Bilderizam]

The Man from Earth (2007)

something totally different...interesting story for me.. 8/10

 

[neil.rushton]

Went to see 'Murder on the Orient Express' , wasn't sure if I'd like it, what with already knowing whodunit, but,it was an all star cast. Quite enjoyed it TBH.
Plan on going to see 'Darkest Hour' in a couple weeks. Gery Oldman as Winston Churchill. From the look of the trailers its going to be good.

IB4 trailers show best of it all

Dunkirk

Bought a 2nd hand valve amplified sound bar for the tele

Fook me
Perfect combo

 

[noel]

I though Dunkirk was great to be honest - no heros or gung ho stuff and you rarely even see the enemy - quite clever and portrayed it as it was... totally different movie to Hacksaw Ridge (which was awesome too) or Saving Private Ryan

looking forward to Darkest Hour - I turned off that other shite film about Churchill with the bollox of him being a cowering idiot and coward and almost releaved of command by the army

Sicario 2 looks good - enjoyed the first one

Dunkirk, fuck me.

A huge military failure dressed up as a success.

Then the films a huge fucking failure as entertainment that they dressed up as a success.

One war vet said “ it really captured the atmosphere of dunkirk “

I reckon being stood on the beach waiting for an evac from a civilian fishing vessel having been ran out of France by an advancing nazi army, all the while being bombed by the luftwaffe was probably more fun tbf.

I know, plus I am sure the allies would have had more fighter planes than just Tom Hardy gliding over the beach. I will stand corrected but I recall studying it at school and there was battles of land, air and sea, not just one plane.

Disappointing really as Dunkirk seems to follow suit with Pearl Harbour in that regard.

Could have been so much more, definitely not of Hacksaw Ridge or Saving Private Ryan quality imo.

if hacksaw wasn't Mel Gibson it would have done miles better at Oscars too.... shame as the story is unbelievable but true

I'd go as far to say it was/is one of my favourite films in more recent times.
The fact the guy doesn't even consider himself special/brave for what he did showed even more for his character.

If I wanted factual I’d watch a documentary [emoji23]

I hear ya to an extent, but I wanted to be entertained and I was. The sound bar added to that experience big time.

Apparently the allies DID have a lot of planes involved but they were further out in the channel fighting the Luftwaffe.

However the troops on the beaches didn’t get to see this and was a big issue amongst them that they thought the RAF hadn’t protected them. Hence at the end of the film someone said to the pilot “where were you”
Just an aspect the film portrayed.

That’s the thing with films
You can portray as much or as little as you want can’t you.

Going back to Doink’s point about being Dunkirk being a failure
I watched Das Boot again the other week
Thoroughly entertaining film set on a German U-Boat
40,000 went out in U-boats and 30,000 never came back (in b4 they all sailed to South America with Hitler) so you’d call that a failure wouldn’t you - only 25% chance of surviving
But was I entertained? Yes
Also Eddie the Eagle film
Kept coming last didn’t he
Bloody good film though

Don't get me wrong I was entertained.
But they didn't need to dramatise it imo, they could have been more factual and still kept us both and others entertained. This was point I was alluding to.
Hacksaw Ridge was a lot more accurate and for me as a result was more emotionally engaging. I wasn't emotionally engaged in Dunkirk.

Not saying Dunkirk was a failure, I didn't go so far as that, it was entertaining - just could have been better in my eyes.

Critics ripped that to shreds, quite enjoyed it myself and apparently so did most of the audience. 7/10.
