What films do you recommend?

I didn’t rate Wish at all, I thought the story felt very generic and there was very little character building

Budget Disney if you will, almost felt like a Disney knock off

Well, it’s a different studio and Pixar are one of the only Disney studios I still think are fairly consistent. I enjoyed inside out, looking forward to catching 2!

Pixar’s recent stuff has been a bit rubbish in all honesty. Don’t think I’ve liked anything since Coco, and I stopped bothering after Luca. Feels like a different studio now and I don’t like the style or direction Pixar go for these days.

Inside Out 2 I’ll give a chance being a sequel to one I loved, but I don’t think I’ll be bothering with any Pixar originals anymore. Maybe I’ve grown out of them? Or maybe it was just Lasseter’s influence that really made them what they were for me. Would explain why I love Luck so much, and why Spellbound is the animated film I’m most looking forward to this year.

Wish, I really liked. I get the criticism it gets though. For me it’s the songs and the writing that let it down, it just doesn’t flow well at all. The big song in the film is just bad. And Ariana DeBose was a weak vocal casting choice for the main role. Other than that I enjoyed the plot, the story, the characters, and the message of the film.

Watched the movie The BikeRiders a couple of days ago. Absolutely crap. Thought I’d maybe like it as I’m into my bikes etc but nope.

Don’t recommend Deadpool and wolverine unless you like mediocre action and lip services to fans, loads of MCU references

It was literally a farewell to the Fox Marvel movies, so very fan servicey.

I just didn’t find it anywhere near as good as the first two

Agree, watched it but didn’t enjoy it much.

Alien Romulus is great though. Easily the best film in the franchise after Alien and Aliens. Love how well they recreated the atmosphere and visuals of the original, and the characters and story were easy to get into.

The Infiltrators on Apple TV is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Absolutely dreadful. Matt Daaaaaamon & Casey Affleck shouldn’t be in a film this bad.

The Insigators.

I don’t know that it’s the worst film I’ve seen, but it’s up there.

It was shite tbf.

Beetlejuice was ok, had some funny bits and many random ridiculous bits, and some bits I didn’t quite understand.

Maybe need to watch the first one again to get it.

That’s the one. Didn’t deserve me getting the name right.

Went to see Despicable Me 4 with my kids and they had a trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice before the film started.

I mentioned this after and they discovered an algorithm had matched on comedy but hadn’t taken into account the +horror tag. No human had checked, the cinema gets a bundle to press play on so not necessarily their fault.

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice trailer was a U certified I was told but you could hear the WTFs from parents and kids going why have they got shrunken heads.

Free tickets to another film and a big apology and they removed it from future showings.

Have taken my lot three times to see it over the summer and had a brilliant kip each time whilst they sat quietly and engrossed! :heart:
