The Film Thread

The Northman.

Can't say I really liked it and I was mostly bored. I'm sure it's very authentic, but it just felt like a long old haul for not much at the end.

Agreed. The ads hyped it up well but the actual movie was a let down

Not even Anya Taylor Joy's bum could save it.

Also watched Hustle last night, which was enjoyable. I always prefer Adam Sandler in his non comedic roles.

 

[Boozad]

I always prefer Adam Sandler not on my tele.

In general I agree, but he's a bloody good actor when he wants to be.

Punch Drunk Love being the apex. Brilliant film that.

NITRAM, excellent stuff from Justin Kurzel.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Just got a back from Top Gun Maverick.

Over the top, cheesy bullshit…and I loved every fucking minute of it.

 

[The Bear]

Thor Love & Thunder.

Not great unfortunately. Starts off funny, then they just keep going way too hard with the humour and it just wears thin. The bad guy isn't really that bad or scary, and ultimately doesn't do anything. The whole thing is very inconsequential and meaningless unfortunately.

4/10.

Taika has had his moment in the spotlight. People are turning on him now.

I still like him, I loved Jojo Rabbit.

But his comedy stuff is horrendous. What We Do In The Shadows was painfully unfunny. He has a tendency to overdo it, like in this.

I, for one, think he takes Marvel exactly as seriously as it should be taken: not at all.

The comic collecting/dealing community disagree with you to a man.

THOR 4: LOVE AND THUNDER directed by Taika Waititi (11/5/21)

boards.cgccomics.com

That's from just before release (or just after, can't be arsed to read through again).

 

[Alan]

I'm not sure I can arsed to read through it once, tbqh.

Marvel heroes never landed for me, though. I was the weird kid who though Spiderman was stupid.

EDIT: Jesus, those guys are seriously invested in Thor's "character arc", ay?

That's a big statement.

One of the best comedy series in recent years, I agree, to you it's probably no Mrs Browns Boys but I liked it

It's painfully try hard shite. And I love Matt Berry.

Whenever Watiti gets free reign over the "humour" it becomes painful. As the new Thor film demonstrates.
