Watched The Swimmers recently on Netflix (a true story of 2 middle class Syrians journey from Syria ultimately to Germany), a grim eye opener.

The new Avatar. I don't mind much about the first one but went ahead to see the latest. Too long. Too much emphasis put on the visuals in my opinion. The story was grand and I enjoyed it towards the end. Could have been made about 1 hour shorter.

I saw the first Avator on an IMAX screen in 3D.

My head was spinning afterwards! Way too much visual info to keep up with.

Happy to see Keoghan and Condon win the best supporting actor categories at the BAFTAs. I thought they were both brilliant in Banshees.

New Antman. Another poor recent Marvel film for me. They seem to have lost their way recently. Hopefully they can get it back on track soon.

No Thor, love and thunder bad... but not one I'd watch again either.

An Watcher

Super hero films!!!  Watched about half an hour of captain America and never again

I've been working through the Marvel stuff with my son over the past year.

Enjoyed most of them, but the more recent ones have not been quite as good.

Without strong leads like Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans they're lacking a wee bit. Story can be complicated too if you don't recall every little detail of the earlier films. The Thanos concept had been nice and simple to follow.

Wakanda Forever was too long and unfortunately desperately missed the late Chadwick Boseman. The Dr strange ones are way too abstract for me.

I like Paul Rudd and the first Antman was fun, but I'm not hearing great things about the latest one.

Young lad wants to see it though, so I'll sit through it and try to keep up.

Some of the tv ones are decent. Loved Hawkeye. Ms Marvel pretty good too. Enjoyed the Guardians Xmas special. Head was spinning with Loki!

When are they  going to stop with  these super hero  films,?

Seems like every  week there's another one out , and  usually with a superhero  I've never heard of... blackspiderhulk or captain bisexual or whatever

Granted , I did enjoy  a couple of the  Ironman  films and Ant-man ,  but I'm not sure I could be bothered with any more

'Captain bisexual'  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D definitely laughed out loud.

There's a big audience for them. Marvel makes tonnes of cash for Disney.

There's always the arty, farty drama types which win awards if that's your preference.

Not much in between these days unfortunately.

There are far too many of them. I'm a complete sucker for that type of film but even I have had enough. When they released 2 starwars film in a year everybody said it was overkill yet there is a new marvel film every other month and they are all very similar.

I remember back in the late 90s thinking this superhero movie craze will be done with soon enough.
