mmmark Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I thought re trailer was alright too. Better than expected and a lot better looking than the previous bore fests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 4 hours ago, shinymcshine said: I'm still not sure - noting I've not played the recent remasters, but the essence of the survival horror in the original RE 1 & 2 felt more about never quite having enough ammo & hardware, and avoiding/running away from unnecessary combat, as the vulnerability added to the tension - whilst that trailer seems all about spraying ammo & big explosions. Only if you're bad at them. That reputation that early RE games have is totally overstated. A first play through can feel like that or harder difficulties but there's also Jill's grenade launcher, giant mutant plants you need a flamethrower for and the finale always being the big bad getting rocketed. It's schlock and that's what the film looks like too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 ^^This... You can kill every single enemy in the early games no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Watched No Time to Die in the cinema today. Glad I watched it in the cinema. It looks specular and would be a lot less engaging on a normal tv. It was long but it was pretty good. Like Whiskey said it started off really good, then bumbled along reasonably well for the most part. Spectacular locations. Lea Seydoux is gorgeous, I had forgotten she was in it. A good cinema movie.

Even killing Nemesis in every encounter is quite easy in the original RE3. Silent Hill has always been the one that punishes you for abusing ammo early on. Until Homecoming at least.

It's really not good unfortunately, and I say as someone who was very much looking forward to it as I love the first one. I think it's worth a watch for some stuff though. One of her latest scenes might be written extremely poorly, but I enjoyed Wiig's take on Barbara. But if you really don't want to spend that much time with it, just make sure to watch the 10 minute opening scene, which is by far the best thing of the movie – and also available on youtube for some reason (though obviously not the best way to see it): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'd agree with that, the opening is easily the best part of the whole movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The international trailer comes across a whole lot better without that terrible Four Non Blondes track... a few new scenes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 god that looks so cheap. I hope it's good, or reasonable at least, but it doesn't look like it's going to be also, the antagonist has already been in the Sonic movie, and played a spectacularly miscast M. Bison in the Chun-Li film everyone's forgotten about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmark Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Halloween Kills Spoiler is awful and so disappointing. A majority of it is crap characters and you end up rooting for Michael. Curtis is barely in it. The best line is from the funny kid of the last one and that’s only 5 seconds of a tv interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Bond (not plot spoilers) Spoiler I didn't like it. I really like Craig as Bond and I'd put Casino Royale and Skyfall amongst my favourite blockbusters of the last 15 years. I think No Time To Dies biggest crime for me is that it felt a bit bland and washed out. The action wasn't particularly punchy or exciting, there was one action sequence I'd completely forgotten about whilst talking about the film over the credits with my friend. Rami Malik's villain was shit, seems like such a waste of a good actor. The plot was fine, bit daft compared to previous Craig Bond films (the names Bond, Craig Bond) felt like they where trying to take it back into the more outlandish Bond super villain stuff and I'm mostly okay with that. But the biggest crime for me is that it felt a bit and looked a bit boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Saint Maud (Amazon Prime) This had a limited cinema release last year, and is a critically acclaimed British horror movie set in Scarborough. A nurse traumatized by an incident whilst working in a palliative care hospital takes an agency job looking after a cancer patient, and thinks she finds god. It's more of a psychological drama than horror, albeit the last 15 mins or so definitely sways towards the latter (which actually then seems a bit jarring). The problem is, as I find quite often with these critically acclaimed pieces (this was Mark Kermode's top film of 2020) is that I just didn't find it all that great - it was reasonably engaging (85 mins running time) but didn't really offer any twists or character depth to draw you in too much - so ultimately a bit average & ultimately forgettable.

radiofloyd Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Watched Dune yesterday. I really liked it. It might not be an instant classic but it’s very good. It looks and sounds amazing. It’s long (and very serious), but I was engaged to the end. Villeneuve obviously has a formula and Dune feels similar to Blade Runner 2047, so if you liked that (and I loved it), you’ll like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
