Kong - Skull Island. 6/10

Not a fan of the Kong films but I thought I'd indulge the Mrs, who is.
First one I've seen at the cinema which added to the experience and made the film more watchable.
I liked the fact that the usual format wasn't adhered to, made it more interesting.
Also, better actors made the difference.
Not too bad.

Logan. Better than I thought and less tiresome to watch than some of the other Wolverine films. 7/10.

I think occasionally the last in a long line of films can be one of the best, as the characters can appear more real person and less hyped up maybe?

I wish they hadn't made a Fast8 film though. It should have died at the 7th film and the last one to feature Mr Walker. I won't watch the new one on principal now I know Jason bloody Statham is in it.

Probably will be as crap as expendables 3 if it's lucky!

Live by night - 6.5/10

1920's, prohibition in the US of A, mobsters, Ben Affleck.

It was a alright film, Affleck seems to be doing good job these days, but it was far too long and had many sceens the film would be better without of. I really enjoyed the car chases, reminded me of the first Mafia videogame.

Forgot my rating, Fast 8 3/10.

Fast 8 - 6.5 / 10

Yeah, it's far fetched and clichéd to feck - but as a 'brains-out' watch with the missus at the cinema it was okay with a few funny bits that made me genuinely laugh out loud. Action scenes were good and when the cars were driving themselves it was decent CGI for a change.

Don't take it seriously and you may enjoy it.

The Hatton Garden Job 4/10

A "heart-warming" film about a bunch of elderly, old-school, cockney wheezers keeping fit & active by doing DIY over the Easter holidays.

Trouble is we all know how it ends.........

Film is sub Guy Ritchie and brings nothing new to the story, not even any laughs.

Logan - 5/10

Thought it was rubbish, boring, long winded. Couldn't keep my eyes open through it. It has very little connection to the X-Men series of films.

I would have given it less of a score, but for the goriness.......

Captain America Win... oh wait I've actually seen this one, ok then Civil War - the marvel universe reaches a convoluted crescendo. Who are these people, what the f**k are they on about? Why's Spiderman there, I thought he was DC. Are all Marvel movies just a superhero orgy now? Why was Spiderman in there again? Why's he so young. Why's Aunt May so young?

Tony stank.

[Poundshop Dave]

The start of Fast 8 was one of those 'Now you know it's going to be shit' moments. Vin Diesel in something resembling Roy Croppers Morris Minor with a nitrous kit on it. Yeah, because taking the wings and bonnet off and removing the seats is going to turn it into a 500 bhp beast, dearie me this was dreadful. Just don't bother.

I just couldn't leave, I sat through all the adverts and trailers at the start and sat until the lights came on and the curtains closed; I just HAD to get my monies worth.

^ I think throwing the car into reverse and winning the race backwards was the worst thing that about that scene, I think the last time I saw that was in a Herbie movie, or it might have been another fast and furious film

Yeah it was walk out the cinema bad, I would have had I been on my own, although seeing as my pal said he would pay and didn't I probably should have

[Poundshop Dave]

Yes MC, the reverse thing was totally 'Bond'. I half expected to hear the Bond theme during that scene. Worst for me was the Lambo on ice racing away from a nuclear sub.

To quote Mr Borg... (not a verbatim quote but in the ball park)

"I'm quite happy to suspend belief in what you are doing if you don't keep trying to remind me why I should", or words to that effect.

Ok - actual quote found.

[M.C]

You mean the bit where he used the door of the Lamborghini to stop 50 cal' rounds? Nah totally believable

[Kris]

[M.C]

I tried turning my brain off but got bored. The only fun in films like that's picking holes in them
