Leave the World Behind (2014)
Why is it acceptable to make half a film these days.
I very much enjoyed the beginning of this movie. Granted Julia Roberts portrayal in the beginning was a little wooden and repetitive. Either by script or from pulling her out of moth balls. However I just felt it was dragging the story on for dragging on sake. Fast forward to the middle of the movie and things were picking g up with more and more unanswered questions. The whole thing was intriguing and I was left wondering where this plot would go. Cut to the last 3rd of the film and it was clear that there was more filler and very little clear indication where the film was going! And the end ending. Dear God the ending! I felt cheated out of 2 hours of my life. I mean come the F on! Does no-one proof read these scripts anymore! Is any old dross just allowed to bilge onto our screens! What happened to the day when movies actually had a dam ending! The potential was there but the execution was not!
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Very average
I'm sorry but I thoight it would be more! It seemed the writers were confused as to what audience it wanted to be relevant for. The current children who play Nintendo or the old school Nintendo veteran fans. However there wasn't enough clever adult humour to appeal to the adult audience and it also didn't even seem heavily geared to the child audience! It was however very well animated so that's a score in it's favour. It's such a worry that the people writing movies these days seem to have their fingers WAY off the pulse! Maybe they didn't grow up in the 80's? Because that's the genre that SHOULD be writing these movies!!!
White Noise (2022)
If this is where films are going.... Count me OUT!
I really wanted to like this film. But it was just too bizarre to even get into. It was more like 2 hours of nonsense than 2 hours of clever writing! Don't get me wrong, commendations to all the actors and actresses! They all played exemplary parts but the whole premise was just too bizarre to be enjoyable! I watched this off the back of the short clip shown on Netflix. It looked really funny and quirky. But this movie was anythinv but funny and quirky. At best it was sad and depressing, it just made me feel sorry for all the characters! I don't think kt would have taken much to make it clever and whitty with and edge of strange but maybe then it wouldn't be true to the book?

I couldn't disagree more with the positive reviews
I'm sorry but everyone claiming this was a great ending is wrong. It's akin to when I used to write a story for school and because I couldnt be bothered finishing it I'd say "then they woke up and it was all a dream!" because this is exactly how this film finishes. It's a twist, but the twist makes the entire film pointless!
The Batman (2022)
It's OK. Nothing new!
I was expecting great things. But it didn't deliver. Firstly. 3 hours! It didn't need to be 3 hours! So much could have been cut to make it a more respectable 2 hours! Also! It's been done to death. Other batmans are better. Let the franchise die!
Cruella (2021)
Don't listen to the haters
I'm sorry but I don't know what everyone's problem is. I found this to be a perfectly enjoyable movie. I'd even watch it again! It was clever and funny but not violent enough that kids could also enjoy it too. And it had a very clever story ark. After reading all the 1/2 star reviews I'm really struggling to see what exactly they were wanting from this movie. For me it delivered on all angles. Disney back to its roots. Hell. They even killed off the mother in the first 5 mins. If that isn't classic Disney ondont know what is!
Uncut Gems (2019)
Stick to what your OK at Mr Sandler
Sandler does comedy OK. Sometimes dece t sometimes not so much. This is just a convaluted mess. Does it wasn't to be a 70's movie with its odd soundtrack? Or a modern movie with its plot? The whole thing is just bizarre! Everyone talking at once. Too much going on. It's like there was a very lose script and the rest was adlibbed... Badly!
The Neverending Story (1984)
Never ending pile of crap!
Absolutely no story what so ever. Completely random and hasn't even aged well. Why this has 7.4 I'll never know! I now know why I've never revisited this film since I was a child!
Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
What a predictive load of B/S
I tend to agree with the other "real" ratings. This is horse**** absolute predictive garbage! Nothing new and certainly not noteworthy! One of the worst films I've seen in a long time!
