Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker.

Star Wars fans: "The Last Jedi ruined the franchise...!"
JarJar Abrams: "Hold my beer....."

TL:DR That's 2 and a half hours of my life I'll never get back again.

Given the many leaks that have been released (yes it's true, they decided that Palpatine somehow managed to survive being hit with his own lightning, thrown down a bloody great big shaft and then blown up with the Death Star and has in fact been behind everything in the last 2 films) and the mess that Rian Johnson left the plot in with The Last Jedi I wasn't expecting to see a masterpiece and I have to admit JarJar Abrams did deliver. Now the film does have some good points, it looks great and does have some really impressive set pieces but the plot (or lack of one) really lets it down. In all honesty I think the film should have been named Raiders of the Lost McGuffin with the way they had the search for the mystical device needed to find the lost planet they need to get to (go to planet, find clue, Kylo arrives, run - rinse and repeat). Then there are the plot holes...................and there are a hell of a lot of them. So many in fact that I can't mention any of them without giving way what little plot there is. 

Strip out all of the Star Wars material and you would end up with a half watchable Roger Corman B Movie.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Not surprised, very convergent with the professional reviews.  Shame really as episodes 4,5,1,3 and to an extent 7 were good plots (yes even despite Jar Jar Binks)   

I'll still likely go see it but not exactly rushing to book
Well, whatever, nevermind

Watching Mary Poppins Returns...  redface:

Terrible...  noooo:
:thumbsup:

You bravely gave your time so we didn't have to suffer

Precisely!  :thumbsup:

It was awful...  noooo:

But how can it get reviews like this:



And this...?


It was a shocker...  noooo:
So it was on Sky so we just watched it being too bone idle to try for better.  Well I say 'watched' most of the time she was on her iPad and me the PC with occasional breaks to go get more collapso.  It takes a special ability to get a truly brilliant performance like that by Emily Blunt and still produce an utter mess like that D- film.  You were too kind in your review
Well, whatever, nevermind

Just watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood... worthy:

Sensational doesn't really cover it... Hanks and Rhys are incredible!  eeek:


Quote from: IMDB
A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is a superb film and one of the most wonderful movie going experiences of my life. Mr. Tom Hanks gives what is nothing less than the performance of a lifetime. Simply incredible. Subtly and with artistry and sensitivity Mr. Hanks becomes Fred Rogers and it's as if the actor himself disappears. Beautifully written and wonderfully directed, this is a motion picture that will live in the hearts of audiences for generations to come. Tom Hanks will rip your heart out and return it to you filled with love and understanding. This is an historic acting accomplishment in a film that will become an instant classic.
