Films you've watched recently.

Couple of films on the plane

Logan - 7/10 - good fun
Superman v Batman 6/10 - Affleck a bit miscast.

Few weeks back on flight to USA, watched Alien Covenant. Thought it was rubbish, with scenes copied from the previous Alien films as well. Glad I didn't pay to see it at the Cinema.
 
The "new" Blade Runner;- well folks for me a 6 or 7/10.
Sort of old Blade Runner + Matrix + Total Recall + Terminator mixed up and amalgamated re-hash.
As long as watchers don't have high high expectations then OK but it ain't a classic.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's only going to appeal to disciples of the original - very hard to follow otherwise.
 
Thor: Ragnarok. Very different to the first two Thor movies (the ugly step children of the marvel universe), much closer to Guardians in tone & look. Action packed, moves fast, VERY funny, excellent performances all round, Blanchett's Hella is one of the best marvel villains, Thor & Loki's relationship gets a satisfying conclusion. Great fun, and possibly in my top 5 Marvel movies. 9/10

Yeah, agree with all of that. A tagline I've seen floated about is "Asgardians of the Galaxy". It feels like they've taken Thor and rebooted it using GotG as a template.
 
Two good films yesterday - It - best Stephen King adaption since Misery? Long old film, but never dragged. 9/10

And rewatched The Iron Giant - one of my favourite animations ever! 10/10
 
Jigsaw - 6. You know what you are getting as they are all very similar. This is nearer the worst rather than the best of the films.
 
Murder on The Orient Express 7/10

I saw it on Friday.

Was ok and enjoyed the first half but have to admit was bored towards the end and thought the ending was disappointing.
 
Majorie Prime - holograms, dodgy memories and on the whole an excessively dulll film. It's had rave reviews, but it's so dull I switched it off. No score.
