You’ll really enjoy it.

It’s aged very well and is really well put together.

Don’t bother with the second though, it‘s dreadful.

I kept swerving it because I saw it was Disney so thought it was just a kids film. Heard the soundtrack slaps.

I decided to give Alita: Battle Angel a watch; thought it was okay.

Love that film. Was furious the sequel got canned because of Disney.

I’m half-tempted to pour myself a brandy this evening and watch Scum (1979), a light-hearted romp about Britain’s notorious Borstal reformatory featuring brutal savagery, corruption and unwarranted buggery, starring Ray Winstone.

Where’s yer fkn tool?

Anybody else feel let down by the highly regarded Oppenheimer? A mess of jumping forwards and backwards in time, when really the story would have been interesting enough with a linear approach.

Also the modern fad of actors whispering or mumbling their lines meant much of it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to understand every word. Lots of irrelevant footage about the personalities and not much at all about one of the most significant the scientific developments if the last century.

It's not that I'm suggesting personalities are irrelevant, but given the film industry's recent penchant for tampering with realities for the sake of inclusion or titillation, its hard to trust what is being portrayed of a real life character to add drama - and I don't like that. What was interesting, if true, is his poor treatment by an ungrateful and paranoid US state. Similar to Britain's unconscionable treatment of Turing after the same war. This so called "free world" consistently rewards the wrong people with cash and medals. Something about the network I guess.

Chris. I absolutely 100% agree with all of this.

I got through about 30 minutes and just couldn't continue. Nolan went full Nolan. Swelling music over every single scene drowning out the dialogue, swishy jump cuts of atoms or something, storytelling that couldn't even be described as non-linear. It was as if he just put all the scenes in a gun, shot them at a wall and that was the order of the film. The bit of dialogue I could hear was overwrought nonsense. It legit irritated the life out of me and I couldn't finish it

Just tell the ****in' story Nolan

In complete contrast to Oppenheimer I watched Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with Sidney Poitier and Katherine Hepburn. Sharp script, wonderful acting, a great story told from start to finish
