This is closer to reality for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I agree.

Good acting, good action, but there was something missing. Not sure what, but it left me thinking … meh ?

Like a few other marvel movies, the tone is a little off. It swings wildly from some super-dark theme about child abuse in one minute, to slapstick humour about a superhero outfit that doesn’t fit the next. Marvel always puts a bit of humour in the mix, but it’s a little clunky in this one, and it just feels like the jokes are overdone and mis-timed.

Not a bad movie, but not a great one.

This is a really good movie imo. The story of human interaction with artificial intelligence is played out brilliantly within this movie - Alicia Vikander as 'Ava' is excellent.The outstanding series Westworld possibly took this to another level but this movie on it's own is a really good one and worth a look. There is only 3 people in this movie most of the time and it is a bit of a slow burn but gripping throughout imo

Black Widow (2021) - 7/10.

It would have got an 8 if it wasn't for the Taskmaster character, the way they did that was just stupid, made no sense imo.
Dreykov switched to being female with Taskmaster being her male puppet would have been better, the age/timing was off too.

Also, as much as I love Ray Winstone, meh, he wasn't bad, but not great either.

Guns Akimbo - 2019 Amazon Prime

Daniel Radcliffe as a nerdy developer becomes a contestant on a live streamed death match after getting smashed and taunting wrong person online, lots of dark humour and violent

Its not bad, definitely a switch your brain off and just watch it film

6.5/10

Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw - 2019 Netflix

This spinoff is better than most of the films in the series

8.5/10

Nobody 2021 - 8/10.

Just watch it, it's a lot of fun

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Absolutely loved this movie, Michael Keaton was on fire with his performance definitely deserved a oscar and deserved it’s academy award winner for best picture. To think Keaton started off as a comedian, Zack Galfianakis, Edward Norton, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough we’re all fantastic too. The camera work in the movie was great we’re it follows the characters around in one shot and music score in the movie was just dumbs. This film all over definitely different and unique.

Ted 2 - 7.5/10.

Stupid and funny

Backdraft (1991)

Always loved this film. Kurt Russell and William Baldwin are the estranged firefighting brothers posted to the same station and must work together to bring down a dangerous arsonist and a corrupt local politician. Perhaps a guilty pleasure as maybe not everyone's cup of tea - the acting in some scenes is not the greatest - but the special effects with the fire sequences remain some of the best ever seen in film and rightfully deserved the three Oscar nominations. The film should have won at least one of those. I like the storyline, the sibling rivalry whilst both working towards the right cause, is a good concept to provide drama. Scott Glenn, Robert De Niro, Rebecca DeMornay, Jennifer Jason Leigh, JT Walsh and Donald Sutherland co-star in a popcorn-time movie that provides plenty of action and sufficient drama up to it's emotional ending. Excellent soundtrack too. 7.5 / 10

The Forever Purge - 1/10 the first three purge movies were pretty good, the last one just average but this latest instalment is atrocious, an anti white propaganda film that portrays white americans as a bunch of racist rednecks and the poor Mexican as decent hard working heroes who have to save their ungrateful masters lives.

Disgusting.
