~~~ Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Terminator 2 I've seen the first film several times and consider it a classic but I'd never seen any others so my plan for the rainy bank holiday was to sit in and watch them all back to back. I got as far as T2 before giving it up. This is not an improvement on the original. It's far too cheesy. The shapeshifting badguy cunto wasn't much of a villian. He really wasn't very menacing. You hardly saw him. Arnie's terminator had too much in the way of personality and emotions to be a robot from the future. Everything I love about the first film was missing. The electronic soundtrack, the shady neon lit streets and the utterly evil antagonist. I don't hold much hope for the others being any better. This has to be a wind up? Terminator 2 is fantastic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthAyrshireKillie Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I watched 21 Jump Street the other night. I actually enjoyed it . Dunno if it was because my expectations were so low, but I thought there were a good few funny bits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 So do I, never really got the criticism of it. Particularly from the scientific point of view, because if ever film in space was true to the laws of physics and stuff then anytime the characters weren't in a spaceship, it'd be a fucking silent film! The criticism of that film isn't the scientific accuracy, that would be ridiculous. It's the fact that it's three quarters of a genuinely great film, and then dissolves into a ridiculous space zombie farce at the end. It's a 7/10 film which should have been a 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Watching "The Tourist" on Channel 4. It got one star on Radio Times, which is as bad a mark as I can remember ever, but I'm mildly enjoying it. Half cut though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Has anyone seen "Into the wild"? Did anyone else think he was a self centred twat? True story too. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's not the Depp and Jolie film, is it? Aye. If you accept it as a bit of slapstick/travelogue it's a fine film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I watched a movie called Meeting Evil with Luke Wilson and Samuel L Jackson. Jackson is ridiculous in it as a guy that's just... well... he's evil. And Wilson meets him one day. I'm still calling it 6/10, because as ludicrious as it is, it's enjoyable as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Can't agree at all. It's really not a good film no matter how you treat it. Have to admit, it's getting worse.. Even Holiday On The Buses had some kind of standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Absolute nonsense. One of a handful of sequels that's better than the original. The original was great too. GAH! ageee with you on the topic but that old cliche is a bit of a bugbear of mine. Countless sequels out there which better originals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Terminator 3 Still not a patch on the original but stands up pretty well as a decent big budget action movie. Plenty of car chases and explosions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Watched Taken and Taken 2 for the first time over the weekend. First one was amazing, Big liam is the ultimate badass in that film. Funny in early parts. Really clever whilst not being over the top. 8/10 Second one while also good didn't have the impact of the first. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
