The films you've seen, in 2017

All I can say Mr Lemming is that the MCU is going from strength to strength.  That was one of the best films I've ever seen, there was so much about it that was brilliant and I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it.  And yes, the opening was beyond amazing.  

I could waffle on for ages about all the really good bits bit there's too many and I'm aware this isn't the place for spoilers

All I'll add for now is that I really do love the Trash Panda.

Let's see if I can remember! (Yes, my memory is that bad!)

 

Cinema:

Rouge One - Third time seeing it, loved it

Passengers - Was enjoyable until the ending

La La Land - Wasn't what I expected it to be. Still not sure if I liked it or not

 

At Home:

Coherence - My second watch of this film, I highly recommend it to all

Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Love it! Just love it!

The Girl on the Train - Had heard good things about this, but was very disappointed with it

Adding a few more...

 

John Wick (just a quick reminder before seeing the second one) - Still pew pew good!

John Wick Chapter 2 - more pew pew goodness!

Passengers - ending still sucks

Fences - Not bad, I see why Viola got the oscar

Collateral Beauty - Pretentious and saw the twists coming a mile away

Fantastic Beasts - second time for this. Not a Potter fan but I did love that little mole thing!

Twister, Aliens, Apollo 13 - RIP Bill Paxton

Assassin's Creed - I haven't played the games but that movie was terrible.

Logan - Best Wolverine movie to date, but still had a load of issues with it.

Kong: Skull Island - Very disappointed with a very run-of-the-mill story line. I love Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston but they are very bad in this film.

Beauty and the Beast - Not bad. Unlike other live action remakes, it's very close to the animated version. Ewan McGregor and Emma Thompson should not have been in it though.

Ghost In The Shell - This was definitely NOT Ghost In The Shell, but I actually enjoyed it. Very Pretty.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 (twice) - Loved it. Not quite as good at the first and it definitely tried too hard with the humour at times, but it was still great.

Young Frankenstein - Had actually never watched this before. I love Mel Brooks films but felt this was over hyped. Was ok, but probably wouldn't watch it again.

Avatar - Seen it many times. I know there are mixed opinions on this film, but I love it!

The Founder - About how McDonald's became McDonald's. Actually enjoyed it, interesting story.

Split - Was not really a fan. Story felt a bit flat and McAvoy was not great in it.

Hidden Figures - Enjoyed it, nice story.

Silence - Very long! Interesting watch though.

Patriot's Day - Story of the Brooklyn bombings. Unbelievable to see the events of what happened.

We have been talking about this at work, and whilst I haven't seen it, from the discussions it does sound interesting.

It's all right Chloe, though it made me want to punch Jake Gyllenhal in the face because of his character B)

I heard about that film last year at College.  I thought it sounded quite good, so wanted to get an opinion on it.  I might get around to watching it.

I saw Split at the cinema.  I thought it was really good!  I really love M. Night Shyamalan's films, so I was looking forward to seeing it.  I was not disappointed! :smile:

Fair enough, glad you liked it. For me it just wasn't his best work, but was not his worst either. He did some good films at the start of his career, but everything after Signs has been a disappointment for me.

I was going to see Split but an associate of mine spoiled it for me and thus I decided there was no point in watching it after that, especially as that was the kind of plot detail that I really REALLY would've liked to have not seen coming. But hey ho. :) 

Have you watched Avatar: The Last Airbender Sam? It's one of my favourite TV shows and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. Don't let the Shyamalan film put you off haha

 

Last film I watched recently was Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Probably my favourite Jim Carrey film. :)

Personally, I think his best film is The Sixth Sense.  I also loved Signs, The Village and The Visit.  Split was a great film.  However, I just didn't like Unbreakable.

I've seen today A dog's purpose. Bit boring at some point, but I cried like a baby

I've been thinking about seeing A Dog's Purpose.  Is it worth a watch, Rory? :smile:

Well if you like animals then yes. I mean at one point i was quite bored but the story was very touching. But I would say go and see. Personally for me it was a movie for one time

That's understandable, Rory.  There are some films you can only see once.  I love animals, so I will probably give this one a watch!

I saw it yesterday, and it is rather touching. It didn't reduce me to tears though ( I'm still yet to see a single movie that does that).

I've heard a lot of people say it's touching.  Lots of films reduce me to tears!  So, I will probably give it a watch!

I've finally seen Silent Hill...  I had seen Silent Hill: Revelation before, so decided to see the first.  I preferred Silent Hill: Revelation the first time I saw it, but it's not bad.  The first Silent Hill film was okay, but not really my thing.
