Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Dread Pirate Robert 7 points 2 years ago*.

Very clever concept. I don’t think anyone has thought to do something like this before (in a movie, Dr Who seems to do it like once a season). What really made it work was all the correct actors. Every one.
My favourite scene was, “How did you do that?”
“I’m a really good lawyer…”

Can someone explain to me what the Venom bit was about at the end? Why was he there, where did he go? Etc.

Well, it was a very stupid movie.

Dread Pirate Robert 3 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely. But did you enjoy it? I sure did.

No hype or fanboying - that was terrible, they spent a ton of money, it’s still terrible.

Dread Pirate Robert 2 points 2 years ago.

I’ve never read any of these damn comic books but I know a good movie when I see it. Do you really expect anyone to believe you sat through a movie for over two hours that you thought was literally terrible? Either you quit or you are exaggerating.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

That movie was non-stop entertainment from beginning to end. Over two hours and it didn’t drag once.

OK no spoilers here. One thing that has me confused is ‘The Barber’. Why the hell do they call him the barber? Sure when he meets him he’s at a barbers having a shave, but is he always there? Is it where he hangs out? Are you only aloud to meet him when he’s having a shave or a haircut? Does he own a string of barber’s shops? Does he always scalp people when he murders them? Why the feck is he called ‘The Barber’???

A lot better than I was expecting. Felt kind of fresh for the first hour and fifteen but then became more hackneyed and cheesy from that point. If you remove the last two throwaway scenes there is a good ending that has been done a hundred times but was done well I think on this occasion.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

That was really poor.

Can’t believe they’ve axed this show. Looks like BTK got a lucky break.

Considering the importance of snagging viewers with the first episode this was a brave way to go with the opener. It was a slog for me especially as I hate farces but I’ll stick with it and see where it goes. If they’ve not dropped this by episode three though I might reconsider.

I would like to know how well this movie goes down in Germany. Won’t be breaking any box office records methinks.

In my opinion,u541 is much better.

Dread Pirate Robert 1 points 3 years ago*.

I’ve watched them all up until the end of this season and do appreciate the power struggle story lines etc, but I’d also agree with Beaut. Aspects of the show are just wallowing in adulation of the super rich with no irony or sub-text.

Gangs of London (2020) S1 E1
Dread Pirate Robert 0 points 4 years ago.

Jesus Christ. Half way through episode one and this is already probably the most violent show I’ve seen. Or maybe it just has the most well done violence.

Anna (2019)
Dread Pirate Robert -1 points 4 years ago.

Way way over the top with her abilities to kill building loads of trained men sustaining only the odd cut to her face but it was an entertaining enough movie.

Mile 22 (2018)
Dread Pirate Robert 1 points 4 years ago.

Pretty good. Lots of action and a nice twist.

21 Bridges (2019)
Dread Pirate Robert 1 points 4 years ago.

Better than the rating suggests. A little formulaic and aspects of it reminded me a lot of Street Kings but I thought this was a solid movie and I’d recommend it.

Grow up. And what’s with all the capitals? Is that a song title?

The Good Liar (2019)
Dread Pirate Robert 2 points 4 years ago.

Not a bad movie but doesn’t deliver on the early promise. The convoluted and slightly ridiculous finale was a bit of a disappointment.

The Last Full Measure (2020)
derekishere -7 points 4 years ago.

You watched this movie and thought that, how sad your time was wasted by watching this amazing flick. Just one’s opinion is all it took to watch it. Glad i did and don’t listen to dread pirate, maybe he should of watched it all before telling us this was a bore.

Dread Pirate Robert -4 points 4 years ago*.

If you enjoyed it then that’s great. Why would I watch the whole thing when I’m bored shitless by this boring movie? Did I mention how boring it is? It’s fucking boring. I should have paid heed to the crappy 6/10 IMDB score it has, because it’s boring. Or the 5/10 Rotten Tomatoes critic consensus score, because it’s boring. Or the 2/5 stars it has here because…you guessed it.

Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Dread Pirate Robert 2 points 4 years ago.

I was a bit dubious in the first few minutes but it turned out to be a truly excellent movie. Perfectly cast and the lad playing Jojo clearly has a very bright future ahead of him.

The Last Full Measure (2020)

One of the most boring movies I’ve ever watched half of.

Rob Lowe’s roast set the bar pretty high. They seem a bit bland now after that.

I’ve never been so surprised that a movie didn’t get a sequel.

The Boys (2019) S1 E8
Dread Pirate Robert -3 points 4 years ago*.

Been scrolling through the shows wondering what to watch for a while, ignoring a crappy looking show with a bunch of guys looking down at the floor called ‘The Boys’, until someone told me what it was about (and he only watched it because his son is starring in it as an extra).

Holy crap what a great show!!! Can’t wait for next season.

I’ve gotta say, that Homelander is one special kind of arsehole. As they say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Boys (2019) S1 E5
Dread Pirate Robert -4 points 4 years ago.

Great show, but I’m amused at how Bad Urban’s accent has been revealed to be. He was reffered to as British in the episode. I’m British, and the whole time I’ve assumed he was meant to be Australian lol.

The Gentlemen (2020)
Dread Pirate Robert -4 points 4 years ago*.

Guy Ritchie gangster movies are a paradox for me as they are nearly always entertaining yet annoying at the same time. For instance there is seldom a single character who cannot be described as ‘wise cracking’ which grates. Also I don’t have a problem with the use of the C word but he is so keen to use it all the time he does so when another word would actually have been better suited/funnier. That’s generally though. This film in particular I found once again entertaining but a bit weak due to it being rather more predictable than usual and garnished with a generous sprinkling of homophobia and lazy racism throughout.

The Witcher (2019)
Dread Pirate Robert 2 points 4 years ago.

No GoT but it’s good. Had me binge watching the whole thing.

Dracula (2020) S1 E3
magically_delicious 4 points 4 years ago*.

Truly the worst 3rd installment in the history of Dracula EVER. What started off as innovative has digressed into an almost “drunken” meandering of nonsensical shite that inspired a guilty and imposed, “let’s call it Dracula”, afterthought. I won’t ever be re-watching this or recommending it. This started with such promise. I reckon someone got drunk mid way, and impulsively called it a wrap. They then flew to the Bahamas to recover and hide in shame and booze. SAD. (EIDT 21 JULY 2020: I did re-watch, with a friend. The first episode is brilliant, and well worth it. The second is nearly as good. Skip the last episode, and the series is worth it.)

Yeah I’ve phoned my brother and a couple of friends to hastily withdraw the recommendation I gave this show after the opening episodes.

Dracula (2020)
greyfur 0 points 4 years ago.

I miss Breaking Bad. Don’t know if you ever saw this or not, but going to give you a link for a movie that picks up where Breaking bad left off, all about Jessie Pinkman. There were some lose ends, ties them up pretty good, all I’m going to say if you have not seen it, I thought it was right good, and really a fitting way to tie the whole thing up.

Ah, nice one. I didn’t realise they’d released the movie yet. Thanks.

Dracula (2020)
Dread Pirate Robert 2 points 4 years ago*.

Typical bloody BBC. Starts well then disappears up it’s own arse in an orgy of pretentious, too clever for it’s own good, sensationalist nonsense. Enjoy the first two episodes which are excellent, for the third expect Doctor Who.

The Brits are known for making superb dramas! They outshine American dramas whether it’s a modern day drama or a period drama, all are excellent! It seems Hollywood is a afraid to make period dramas, guess they think there is no money in period pieces and they rely on ratings. That’s why many of us use websites like primewire to watch fine quality shows from across the pond! Netflix is trying to fill that void with some unique series and movies, but they have a lot of catching up to do!

Dread Pirate Robert 8 points 4 years ago*.

Being English myself I’d love to be flattered but when the US come out with gems like The Wire, The Sopranos and Game of Thrones (although admittedly the actors were nearly all British in that one) we are clearly trailing in your wake when it comes to TV dramas. With the odd classy exception like Peaky Blinders most of what we make these days is a mess; often mired in right on political correctness at the expense of realism and factual accuracy (especially if it’s from the BBC). Usually even the good ones only start well and end up as garbage (Sherlock/Luther for example). Sure we do period dramas better, but I’d swap all of them for one Breaking Bad.

Superb acting but the movie is an unbearable slog.

15 minutes in and about to switch off because this movie is bloody awful. What the hell is Reynolds doing in this garbage with a load of nobodies? Shocked to see the 8.5 IMDB rating at the top of this page so clicked on IMDB to check. Yup, 6.2. That’s more like it.

All three main characters are British, so I shouldn’t think her being ‘fake’ American is the reason.

I’m not gonna watch it, it looks crap. You’ve ruined it for a few other people though. You’re kind of a dickhead, huh.

1920’s setting and modern music. You wouldn’t think so, but it works so well.
