new will smith movie. What do you make off it?
Once I got over the premise of it I enjoyed it. The 2 main characters had good rapport

This. They had the chase far too long and had to do a stupid and hurried climax. Wasted potential.If was funny to begin with but feck me it turns stupid.
See, reading stuff like this makes me convinced the Star Wars backlash has feck all to do with the actual quality of the movie...As enjoyable as star wars was for me. World seems to have a good amount of depth for the sequel to be alright 7/10.
Nah, there are "Star Wars" issues I have with the direction they took the story, but there's just tons of dumb and/or unnecessary stuff that would annoy in any movie.See, reading stuff like this makes me convinced the Star Wars backlash has feck all to do with the actual quality of the movie...

The premise was, I imagine, a great pitch.. LOTR happened 2000 years ago, and was foundational to modern society, with orcs spat on, elves as the elites, and a buddy cop movie at the centre to ease mainstream in, LA Confidential, smart. You get to do social analogy with the orcs standing in for the racially downtrodden, the elves as the elites, this is classic genre stuff.. the problem: this is Modern America PLUS LOTR, not Modern America BECAUSE OF LOTR.. it feels like fantasy arrived an hour before the movie.
Yeah that's spot on really. They made a total balls of the world building and the racism allegory was far too heavy handed. Also the plot kind of loops around on itself and never really goes anywhere...let's help this 5th Element knock off escape this building and then run away for 45 minutes before going back to the same place to give her a bath. Wut.Tweet

I liked this:
I didn't like it but agree, it's not the worst film of the year. No way. That accolade goes to flatliners.I liked it a lot.
I'm not looking for some high racial allegory /satire... I'm looking for a fun movie with an interesting premise that's a bit different... And I got it.
Critics were way too harsh, I mean, worst movie of the year? It's nowhere near that ballpark
Flatliners is one of the worst films of all timeI didn't like it but agree, it's not the worst film of the year. No way. That accolade goes to flatliners.
You have to be a pretty dramatic person to think this was the worst movie put out this year. It wasn't really any worse than your average summer blockbuster. It was certainly more enjoyable (to me) than, say, Alien: Covenant.I liked it a lot.

Stranger Things got 15.8 million on its first three days, I think its release on a Friday slightly impacted on Nielsen ratings in America and BARB in the UK.Apparently, 11 million people watched it during the weekend. Nielsen, that does TV ratings came up with the number.
That's probably very good, but who knows how close to the actuals are those numbers. Netflix stays silent about it.
