Something about Sean Bean trying to be posh will never not be the most entertaining thing in the world

National treasure 3 has supposedly been green lit!

This news made me SO happy when I saw it. I love those movies!

1 was classic. I remember 2 being a mess.

2 is less laser focused than the 1st, but it's still lots of fun.

Also absolutely loved the first National Treasure, haven't seen the second though. I can't imagine it being the sort of thing that gets better as it goes along though...

IT's one of those things that if you are into the adventure and history, you'll enjoy. It's not as good as 1, but it's still a blast.

I really enjoyed the two films...

Hopefully the plot picks up from the tease at the end of the second film!!!

Considering how poor sequels usually are, I’d say National Treasure 2 is pretty high in the list of decent sequels.

Watched 1917 last night.

Heavy and emotional, absolutely brilliant but with no desire to see it again. I have a feeling it's going to win a lot of Oscars!

I have a lost of movies like this. Fantastic films where the subject matter is simply too heavy to choose to revisit.

ANGELA'S ASHES, SCHINDLER'S LIST, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, 12 YEARS A SLAVE, THE ROAD, BEASTS OF NO NATION, DANCER IN THE DARK, BOYHOOD....I'm sure there are more.

I've not seen 1917 yet, but I kind of thought it might be something I would only watch once.

Re-watching Neil Marrshall's CENTURION, and it still OWNS. It's not the best "What happened to the Ninth Legion" story, but it's close.

[Andorion]

I saw Klaus yesterday and I really loved it. Very different type of take on the myth and it was heartwarming to watch.

[Aptorian]

Anyone seen Color out of Space yet? There's no release date for Denmark as far as I can tell but I really need to see that film.

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE is excellent. Like seriously, a 3rd movie in an action series (especially a long sequel one) has no business being as great as this was!

Also Vanessa Hudgens.

Fuck yeah

Hobbs and Shaw was surprisingly fun, though the Rock spent a little too much time masturbating to his own reflection.

Put on PADDINGTON 2 for my son....and you know what, for a wholesome movie with every British person in it...I'm not surprised it was good, but I AM surprised that it made me weepy at the end.

[Macros]

The Paddington films are excellent. We watched P2 a few weeks ago, same reaction at the end, someone snuck in and squirted water on my face

I think my brain even knew that

Spoiler

Aunt Lucy would come to London instead of the book going to her...so as they all crowded around by the door I was prepared!....but I was not prepared.

[Macros]

Yah, same.

The whole cast does a great job, and the animation on Paddington is incredible, his face emotive expressions marry in perfectly with a great vocal performance

[Malankazooie]

Really don't get the Fast and Furious love. Vin Diesel is a shitty actor and don't even get me started on Tyrese Gibson, I've walked out of a F&F movie when I could take no more of his character. Aside from really dopey car crashing special effects, which are so over the top unbelievable, rudimentary physics defying fluff, the movie franchise is about as stupid a 90 min you can spend on one thing. Absolute drivel.

[Macros]

But you have to admit you want a stick shift car with 25 gears

Hobbs and Shaw is directed by David Leitch and is therefore the most slick and polished of the lot when it comes to the action while also leaning hard into a frankly quite bizarre sense of humour- it's a suprisingly weird film.

F8 is a good step back up after F7 which unfortately, for all the classiness of the farewell to Paul Walker, didn't really stick the ending otherwise. The whole city chase/shootout was weirdly unmemorable.

You say these like they're bad things.
