Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Homegrove Great adaptation. I watched this a while back with my Daughter as it was part of her syllabus.

Homegrove This was a complete mind fuck. Need to give the Coen x Denzel adaption a viewing soon.

Rewatched “Hereditary” for the first time since its release in the cinema. Remember hating the ending, but goddamn, the whole thing is near flawless the second time around. Top tier horror movie and this time I was totally fine with all the Satanic stuff. 9.1 / 10

Strange Darling: Good, not great by any means. The gender role reversal, while relatively surprising, felt a tad bit forced. The format and play with time was entertaining and fun. Worth a watch for the action and tension. There are better movies in this genre imo.

6.9 / 10

Gladiator II. What was good was good (the battles, the sets, Paul Mescal), what was bad was really bad (the dialogue, somehow Connie Nielsen, probably due to the bad writing). But holy shit Denzel. There was scenery and he was chewing it. This was Training Day, Man on Fire, American Gangster Denzel. He was sooo good this movie is worth seeing just for him.

Doing IMAX at 950AM. Here goes! Found the Denzel gay kiss stories doing the rounds hilarious.

Homegrove so was it good or bad hanu? rating?

seanc80 you’ll hate it. Kinda bad, but entertaining. To put it in ranking of Ridley’s films this decade (The Last Duel, Napoleon and this) I liked this one the least. Not seen House of Gucci though, but by all accounts it’s terrible, so this was probably better than that.

so its shite?

I think Sean is trying to find out how much of the film Paul Mescal goes tops off for, Hannu. Humour him.

seanc80 so its shite?

What H is trying to say is 'Its a half decent film, but they cast Denzel Washington in it, so the second he appears on film, it becomes a Denzel Washington film, like all Denzel Washington films do, and you can’t believe the Denzel Washington exists anywhere other than in modern day America, rendering the whole historical setting of the film null, thus undermining the entire endeavour.'

I was hoping it was going to be better than the trailer suggested.

Just watched the Kermode review. Space monkeys and sharks? Not sure even Denzel can counterbalance that shithousery.

It really didn’t need a sequel did it?

Gladiator 2: Plot wise, I actually think it’s pretty good especially for a sequel but the way the end plays out is farcical. You’re invested in what’s going to happen, but holy fuck the script and dialogue is bad. Like fucking awful. I cringed every single time someone spoke. Paul Mezcal is terrible, a combo of goofy and completely wooden. Hannu needs to calm himself, this isn’t Training Day, tense af, Denzel. This is campy Denzel, who isn’t taking himself too seriously and having fun. There’s some spectacle to the action, but that also felt quite flat.

You should still watch it if you enjoyed the first one, but go with really low expectations and it could a so bad it’s good experience.

Millsy fuck hahaha the monkeys.

Amps there’s so much more than his accent that is historically inaccurate. The accent-thing is a stupid nitpick anyway when they are all speaking English.

We need Roman accents!

Mama Mia! He’s a chopped-a off-a his arm-a!

A lol for H looking for historical accuracies in Gladiator 2!
