hogso Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Willem Defoe as the voice of Ryuk in the western live action version of Death Note. Pretty good casting that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Watched 'The 5th Wave' a few nights ago and thought it was ok'ish, the story was good but the end was pretty dumb and a typical everything falls into place with perfect timing bollox ending. 6/10 Watched '1408' tonight and enjoyed it as I do with most Stephen King stuff. I liked the trippy side to things and I think it's the first time I've enjoyed John Cusack in a movie, probably because he gets terrorized. 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Jason Bourne last night ... Very average really I hope the script writer didn't get paid in full as it was basically the same film as all the others and a wee bit lazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing for a movie script. Avengers Infinity War (and whatever they call it's sequel) have been in writing for a year or so and still aren't finished. It seems Ayer has filmed a barely done first draft and then had the studio tinker, so we've got a mess. I can't stand the guy. So part of me would enjoy it being shit.

Also thought the car chase and the baddie fight at the end was pretty crappy. Over all it was OK but nothing we have not seen before 3 times.

BOF Posted August 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2016 Dammit, so that's Suicide Squad and Bourne not worth going to. I suppose there's still Star Trek which is supposed to be very good even for non-Trekkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a boat full of Tommies so at least there is an acknowledgement that someone other than the Americans were involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think "Suicide Squad" was always gonna suffer with comparisons to the thought provoking, high concept original film version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Going to watch it tonight. Not expecting it to be much. But it has Margot Robbie and it has the Joker so I'll enjoy at least that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Jared Leto's Joker getting an absolute shoeing in the reviews for Suicide Squad today. He's barely in the film so managing to get everyone's backs up quite so much is quite an achievement. It's almost like nobody realised this was going to be a dreadful take on the character from the first pictures of him. He's got 'damaged' tattooed on his forehead (shudder) and spends part of the movie looking like this I mean. What the ****? Why is he wearing actual boxer shorts? Why is he wearing any of that? I'm not saying you can't do different takes on characters. Miller's All Star Batman and Robin has a Joker that has Japanese Yakuza style tats and appears in pretty much one scene where he more or less rapes a woman then kills her (this is also a comic that portrays Bruce Wayne as a child abductor and torturer who seems to love violence, cruelty and abuse). But that, is shite. Edited August 5, 2016 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watch it again, just for Karl Urban's take on Bones McCoy - best character in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Watched Bone Tomahawk tonight - a real slow burning Western with Kurt Russell which explodes in the final third into complete grotesque madness. Very enjoyable indeed. My only gripe was the under-use of Geno Segers, who was the brilliantly evil Chayton Littlestone in Banshee but limited to one of the troglodytes in this. (and for fans of Banshee - it also has Lili Simmons in it - and true to form, she does undress ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Suicide Squad is a bad movie, with no story of any kind. Joker is very disappointing and barely in it. Harley's accent switching between Harley Quinn and Margot Robbie was annoying, that and being a bit too obvious at times. She was okay, I guess. Rick Flagg and Deadshot, very predictable all around. I would say Jai Courtneys Boomering was the most enjoyable character overall. Visually it had some fun stuff and the introducing of the main characters was very comic book which I quite liked. Definitely not a movie I'll be recommending to anyone. DC is truly dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah it's a cool film. Never realised Chayton was in it either! TIL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
