Terminator Dark Fate (Non-Spoiler)

Saw this two weeks ago now it’s been said that it’s the best in the series since T2 which technically is true but for all the wrong reasons as the other films weren’t great so let’s start with the positives first:
There’s a great cast it’s so good to have Linda Hamilton back as Sarah Connor, Arnie as always is great but there is negative element, the one that surprised me was Mackenzie Davis as Grace she was really good along with Gabriel Luna as new Terminator was great, the action set pieces along with de-aging scenes were very impressive. Now for the plot it’s nothing new someone sends a terminator back in time to kill someone and someone is sent back to protect the person being killed.
The negatives they do something very shocking in the first 10 mins of the movies which is basically a big fuck your to the Terminator 1 and especially T2, once you see that scene you can’t see those films in the same light again which undermines them now. I get why they wanna reboot the franchise for new generation but what about that the fans of it, secondly they wanna reboot the franchise but the biggest issue the with the movie is it’s a case of deja-vu namely they’ve taken bits from all the over Terminator films and mean all of them with spoiling anything. The new lead Dani was ok nothing special and felt under written especially with her reveal. The Arnie terminator all tho was good there’s a lot plot holes with things that aren’t explained with his character let’s just say it’s certain things that Kyle explains to Sarah in Terminator 1. All tho new terminator is great it just feels like the female T-X from Terminator 3. The film has pacing issues where one min it’s action packed then slows down again then it’s rinse and repeat. I felt it was too CGI in places all tho it was great seeing Sarah Connor again she acts very different all tho it’s understandable why but they make her a little too bitter and unlikable. As I was saying about the film being a case of deja-vu things are like the previous movies right down to the ending. There are a couple sjw moments and little hints towards men being made fun of but it’s too much thank god. As I said earlier is the best Terminator film since T2 yeah but it’s not saying much. Personally I think they should have left it at T2. With Salvation out of all the films was trying to be different, the franchise if it can be saved needs the horror elements from the first film and they need work more character development which i really wished they made more of a effect in fleshing out some of characters development. Changing around certain things and renaming certain things don’t make the movie fresh but with seen it all before that’s it’s biggest issue.

Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

One of jim carrey's last good comedy films and one of my favourites,
A great physical performance from jim carrey playing a man with a split personality the scene in which he carrys his knocked out self and dumps him in a car is one of the reason why jim carrey is a legend if you haven't seen it you should check it out

8/10

Noah.

Mission Impossible Fallout

Utterly preposterous.

OK, in days of yore stuff like James Bond wasn't exactly true to life, but now when pretty much everything is CGI (I suspect even the majority of non-action sequences of people just standing or sitting talking while seemingly on location in exotic locales like London are actually just greenscreen) these action movies push well beyond remotely believable in all departments - from how much physical punishment a human being could ever possibly take, to what vehicles (cars, helicopters, you name it) could ever possibly do without falling to bits at the first impact, let alone the tenth in a row.

I guess this is why comic book superhero movies are the preferred vehicle of choice for action genre now - everyone's ability is so "magic" realism can actually go out the window with nobody batting an eyelid.

I agree,damn shame that it was virtually ignored when released.

Rambo last blood 7.5/10

Christ its bloody gory even by rambo standards

the Lighthouse. 10/10

Black Dynamite

This film is bloody hilarious and a must see, all am gonna say is the Richard Nixon scene

Knives Out

Not normally into murder mystery/whodunnit films but this was an absolute riot from start to finish with its tongue firmly in its cheek & incredibly funny. All the cast are brilliant and get their own moments to shine

9/10

Back to the future 2

I think this is the first time I have watched this film when 2015 was history and not the future.

It seems they got a lot of things wrong. No flying taxis or self tying shoes, but at least we have flat screen UHD TV unlike the CRT models shown in the film.
