The last two have been ok but its just not the same with the original jigsaw Makes you wonder how many they are gonna go for as they can do thia kind of thing fos a while Very much looking forward to it, bit of a guilty pleasure for me these films. Massive horror fan but so much of the genre is just haunted house / ghost types now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because the original Hollywood version is one of the best horror movies ever. Better than the japanese original in every way (imo). I hate it when they taint great movies with shit sequels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more of a comedy then a horror film (largely due to Cary Elwes) with the premise. Not seen it in 15 odd years and still remember laughing at the scene along the lines of him walking along with the voice-over "I couldn't help feeling I was being watched", immediately followed by the loud sound of camera clicking and the whole screen flashing with light. Same with things like Fast and Furious but each to their own. I like the Marvel films (up to Endgame) and their rubbish to a lot of people.

Its all personal taste but clearly there ia demand and interest for these films as they keep making more and money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to imagine two more different films, which I guess is what’s fuelled this whole fake rivalry. But they’re both great in their own way. Oppenheimer is the better movie but to be honest not by much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I thought Oppie was amazing. Maybe a bit too long and too much of the Strauss character. Good to see Feynman's bongos. Cheeky words removed showed 25 minutes of ads and trailers before a three hour film and they wonder why cinemas are closing down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last film I saw in the cinema was Parasite, just before Covid. I just don’t really have any pressing desire to go to them anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Just seen Oppenheimer, terrific. I'd watched the Storyville doc on the iplayer a few days before to get the basics and the film does a remarkable job. A return to form for Nolan and the 3 hours didn't even feel that long either which is an achievement. Aside from Cillian Murphy I had no idea who was in the film going and there were so many 'oh he/she is in it aswell' moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special mention for Ryan Gosling who must be one of the most versatile actors of his generation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
