Birds of Prey (2020)

Makes CATS look like best film of the year

[1/10 · 9 February 2020]

It was a truly terrible film. I would give it no stars if I could. The film was all over the place, like the script. everything seems rushed to get to the major showdown at the end of the movie even then you noticed the stuntmen falling down without a pretend punch being landed.

About half way through the movie I was hoping the bad guy would succeed and the film would end.

The 110 mins felt longer then "The Irishman".

So if you want to see a good movie I recommend you see anything but this film

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Better then the last 3 Terminator Movies

[6/10 · 23 October 2019]

This film continues from the end of the second film, so these who like me who watched movies 3,4 & 5 they never existed in this time line.

On the plus side Linda Hamilton is back as Sarah Connor and Arnie is also back as an ageing Terminator and the other two female leads Natalia Reyes & Mackenzie Davies do a good job with their respective roles.

My major complaint with this movie it's just a retelling of the first two movies. I found myself shaking my head on a number of occasions as I've seen and heard it all before.

Like the Skynet computer was changed to AI computer called Legion. Gabriel Luna as the Terminator reminded me so much of Robert Patrick as the Terminator.

There are plot holes everywhere which were never explained like how can you have an ageing Terminator.

In the age we now live in I wasn't surprised by the story of a young female girl who save humanity from the dreaded AI computer, and basically two female protectors(one sent back from the future) to stop her from being killed(all that sounds very familiar) and they both seem to spend most of the movie either beating up men in uniform or the male terminator.

I really hope this is the last Terminator they make as for me I'm done with the franchise as any other movies will basically be a money grab by the studios.

It's certainly not in the League of the first two Terminator movies but better then the 3 that followed it.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

Here we go again

[10/10 · 21 July 2018]

In a world that has gone crazy, it was so nice just to sit back for 114 minutes and forget about real life. Transport yourself back to a simpler time and of course to the wonderful music of ABBA. Throughout the movie you go through all the emotions yet once it had finished you just want to sit there and wish you could do it all again The whole cast looked like they had as much fun making it as we did watching it. Everyone did their bit although Lily James was outstanding as the young Donna. It's one of those rare films as you leave your seat and enter the real world you do so with the biggest smiles of your face.
