| My husband didn't like it either. I actually enjoyed the production values and the atmosphere. I could see what they were trying to do and appreciated the movie for that. Plus, I read the books and wanted to see what they did. It wasn't exactly the same but then I knew it wouldn't be. I gave it a 4 out of 10 at metacritic. | |

[/quote] hi ChocolateBean don't get me wrong , it did have it's moment but right from the off i had problems with the sense of scale and motion , these huge traction cities rumbling and roaming over the furrowed landscapes with all the citizens just standing around and chatting normally or getting on with their normal duties .......jeepers i spin like a top just getting off the ten past 6 train into town . i don't mind suspending my belief during a movie but on this occasion i had too do it too many times . glad you enjoyed it and i'm sure there will be worse movies released this year ....but we can hope for better . i think your metacritic score was fair . all the best for the weekend ahead .

| Last night (at work) saw me watching Creed 2.... as with Creed, not a patch on the Rocky movies but worth a watch. | |

| hi ChocolateBean ...jeepers i spin like a top just getting off the ten past 6 train into town . i'm sure there will be worse movies released this year ....but we can hope for better . i think your metacritic score was fair . all the best for the weekend ahead . [/quote] Hello Square, Yes, there will be terrible movies and at the same time I try not to go lower than a 4, although I have been known to give out a few 3's. My metacritic score for this film reflected the cgi and atmosphere. I couldn't give it any more than that. Everything else was just so so (acting, editing, music, story). It was a huge undertaking and they could have done better. I do love me some Hugo Weaving. I saw him in "The Interview, 1998, and he was so damn good. Over the years I've wanted to see him in something really spectacular and it just never happened. This isn't to say he hasn't been in anything good because he has; but it's as though his presence/character hasn't been fully utilized since then. Although he came pretty close in "Cloud Atlas (2012)." I do go on... Right back at you with the weekend wishes!! Woo hoo! :P Last edited by ChocolateBean on 2019-02-28 16:43:09 | |

Woo hoo! :P [/quote] Hi ChocalateBean, i didn't have to wait long for this years Turkey without any trimmings , gave the Brit flick Slaughterhouse Rulez a go , it was disappointing for a comedy in that it contained no jokes , the subject matter ( high class Toffs school and fracking ) should have given the writers a magnitude of material but they failed to deliver . If you do get around to watching be prepared for that seldom used metacritic 3 to be played . I was looking forward to this movie as the 2 main actors have been super in past films like Hot Fuzz and particularly Run Fat Boy Run . Thank Goodness it's Friday :) | |

| World War Z 2..... Now that is just wrong on so many levels. I will and do watch ANYTHING zombie related. I reckon they'd make their $$$$$ back and more. Alien: Covenant's Sequel..... that's a bit of bar steward, I love the whole Alien thing. Not fussed about the Marvel stuff, just can't get into any of this superhero malarky at all. Don't get me wrong, some superhero movies I will watch and thoroughly enjoy. It's just all the TV series..nah not for me. Good post mike :o) | |
