Batman v Superman predictably awful. f**king Zack Snyder. There's bad and then there's this bad. A discrace of a movie.

Did you ever expect it to be good??
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Not in the slightest, hence my use of the phrase "predictably awful" but never in my wildest dreams in did I imagine it would be this bad. If not for the fact that two other friends are seeing it tonight and I can rant at them over it, I'd have walked out.

What was the main problem? All crashing and smashing with no plot?

Just dreadfully acted, woeful plot, appalling casting choices, not even pretending to disguise the Justice League setup. I didn't feel entertained in anyway whatsoever. Genuinely couldn't wait for it to be over.

Be interesting to hear other thoughts on it alright.

Capt Pat

Sing Street. An Irish movie about a 14 year old setting up a band in school to impress a girl. Great entertainment, 8 out of 10.

Harold Disgracey

Saw Sing Street yesterday, agree with Capt Pat, great entertainment and thoroughly enjoyed it.

JoG2

Deadpool -  thought it was brilliant,  and I wouldn't be a comic / superhero fan in any shape or form. 

straightred

Old one but watched Happy Gilmore with the kids earlier. Have to say it was just as good as it was first time around ! They just loved it too.

Snap. Very entertaining.

Also saw The Revenant recently, which I liked a lot. Not sure what Leo did to win his Oscar though, other than look really cold and miserable for two and a half hours. Tom Hardy was better.

Also also saw Steve Jobs, which I did not like a lot. Fassbender was good, but thought the story was pretty boring and it's hard not to zone out from a whole two hours of Sorkin's relentless talky walky stuff.
I read the Revenant book before viewing the film   as i believe it's usually best practice to read the book first.
I was impressed by the film version and Leo's performance as the main protagonist  but I have no worthwhile opinion on the detail of the  merits of  the acting.
The characters depicted in the film were as they should be. The film just caught the mood of the story, as told in the book, to perfection.


Hound

The Ridiculous 6

Cowboy starring Adam Sadler, Hurley from Lost, the werewolf from Twilight, Nukie from Boardwalk, Harvey Keitel and many others.

Awesome!

Well, not really. Sandler was very poor, and he was the main star, so that did take a lot from the film. But some very funny scenes when Sandler took a back seat.

with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawerence, absolute peach of a film.
