LMAO. I think you assume all about me wrong. I was just stating my opinion from my point of view, which I am entitled to. For me Rogue one was a crap movie. Just like Ip Man movies. I grew up watching kung fu movies , I even met personally Bruce Lee as a kid, but thats not important. for me the point is Donnie Yen in Rogue One was nothing special. It was too much like Ip Man and other kung fu movies I grew up watching. Sure Star wars was just star wars in the cinema. but when star wars 2 came out we all knew the first was star wars 1. thats why I called it star wars 1. but nowadays its called star wars IV or some other number whatever is not important.

I was actually surprised that alot of people in the public didnt even realise there were two CGI characters in the Rogue One movie, which I thought was not done well either. There are alot of people who really dislike Rogue One like me, and sure there will be people who will like Rogue One also. So I am entitled to give , as you say "a very negative" review of Rogue One. it has NOTHING to do with being argumentative or anything. You are free to express why you like it. doesnt affect my opinion at all. So many people will like Rogue One, but also many people loved Jar Jar Binks also. Thats fine too LOL..

also, when I saw The Force Awakens the cinema was packed and no empty seats and people were lining up for ages to buy tickets. When I saw Rogue One, I saw alot of empty seats....also in Rogue One when he says "I am with the Force, The Force is with me" , I thought Donnie Yen didnt sound convincing and the whole thing sounded so corny it was laughable and childish almost. But I reminded myself they are targeting kids more.

Also as far as I know, only Jedi's can actually actually use the force. so I think Donnie yen was being sarcastic when he told the girl "oh..there are no more jedi's here anymore". Seems he is supposed to be a kind of jedi. because he was able to "use the force" to manipulate the mind of the storm trooper in one scene didnt he?

Lets just settle with different opinions. come to think of it now. I really disliked Riogue One if I want to be more honest. definitely I wont be bothering downloading from torrent either later. I just wish George Lucas was back directing the Star Wars or JJ Abrhams. I am not angry. just very disappointed with paying for seeing it in the cinema. waste of money for me.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Donnie Yen did not play a Jedi in the film - I explained that there is a difference between a Jedi and a Force sensitive. You must not know about the extended universe and the story of what happened after the 6th chapter, or you'd already know that - it's made very, very clear.

Also, I don't call you argumentative because you disagree with me. For me to think that would be ridiculous.

Anyway this conversation is over. I wish you well.

For me personally I love all of the Star Wars movies from Rogue One to The Force Awakens.

I'm also 54 years old and saw Star Wars in a drive in when it first came out.

I enjoy them all because frankly I go to movies to be entertained and to get away from the daily grind.

Period

That's why in spite of not necessarily following "canon" I loved the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies and the Bourne movies...well except for the one that didn't have Matt Damon in it.

Of course that's all certainly my own opinion and isn't that true of all of us?

I was also surprised at the lack of attention to detail in Rogue One with the very poor editing goofsups without giving the plot away, it was so obvious At the first appearance of Orson Krennic the wind is blowing very strong and his cape is moving strong too. But during the close-up Scene the cape barely moves . In the different shots it's moving veey strong again. its so obviously badly done.

also where Jyn is talking to Saw anyone notice the position of his mask changes so obviously for no reason . just poor editing. . It hangs to one side of his chest, but in one close up shot it is in a suddenly different position without him having moved it. It returns to the previous position in the wide shot. i think fromnthere I started think this director and his team didn't do as good a job as Lucus could have for this movie. They were very obvious mistakes that added to reasons for me to begin to make it feel so inauthentic and poorly made.

anyhow, we will see how it does in the box office. that said, batman v superman was a really bad movie but it still did good at the box office. enough of star wars... next film please.

I understand that the cartels have all gone out of business.

Too soon?

Nocturnal Animals - 9/10 Good movie, just falling short of great maybe. Quite harrowing in places though. I love Jake G so it's a bit redundant to sing his praises again. I'm indifferent on Amy Adams but shes not awful. Michael Shannon is a firm favourite of mine though and in this he steals the show. Hopefully 2017 won't kill him.

"Inferno' Tom hanks. got really bored half way.after Davinci code all seem so repetitive. but its watchable. 6.5/10 for me.

"The Brothers Grimsby" from the guy who brought you Borat and Ali G.... If you expect stupid silly obnoxious grosse grotesque dark humour, then you will enjoy this. Some laugh out loud bits. some bits guaranteed make you cringe. more a stoners movie. Don't bring your kids to see it. watchable if nothing else on and you are bored...Its both a 2/10 and an 8/10 same time because its so stupid.. you will know what I mean if you watch it.

'The Arrival" after watching the movie seemed alot of people who finished watching didn't understand the movie. for me, this was a brilliant clever script. great CGI. great concept. great acting from all. great dialogue.

I give it a 9.8/10.

definitely will be watching this again.

hard to say any more without giving away story spoiler which I wont .

Patriots Day - Mark Wahlberg. great well made movie. definitely worrh watching. tense, good action, good script, great acting. 8/10

Max Steel - good teeny type super hero family movie. I expected a bad movie but it was better than I expected. 7/10.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I enjoyed it too. Better than i expected, 8/10 is what i've give it too.

I'm watching The Road again. Bleakest movie i've ever watched but the best 'Post apocalypse' movie there is. Viggo Mortinson deserves more accolades as an actor. I really enjoyed Captain Fantastic from last year as well as some of his older films like Eastern Promises. I feel like the The Road did the hard thing which was to deliberately make a movie that did the opposite of what modern audiences want. That feel-good, happy ending, optimistic garbage that we usually get is not at play. Bravo!

2016 was a dud as far as great movie releases. Too many 'hits' that didn't meet with expectations. Of course, all the great movies are crammed into the award season window now and there's a few i haven't seen yet. Even so, looking at the nominees and winners for the current award season, it's a pretty weak field. I recently re-watched Sicario from a couple of years back and compared to anything i've seen since, it's miles ahead. Director Denis Villenueve had another release this year with Arrival but it doesn't come close to Sicario for great movie viewing.

As someone who hates Musicals, La La Land was better than i expected. I really enjoyed it, although like 'The Artist' it's a little too Oscar baity. Hacksaw Ridge too wasn't bad, with some visceral and kinetic action scenes. Too much cheese and too small a budget for it to be truly comparable to other great war movies though. Hell Or High Water was a nice surprise and stands with Green Room and The Neon Demon as a few of the 2016 releases that stick in my mind.

Looking at the interesting 2017 releases, way too many are comic book based. Why aren't we done with this yet? Can we please get back to making real movies? Not sequels, not prequels, not superheroes, not reboots, not remakes, not Star Wars... REAL movies. Please...?

watched "Live by Night". ..Good action, but ...bad dialogue/script. some monotonous bits. Ben Affleck's acting hasn't improved since "Batman v Superman" . He is just not convincing. But Brendan Gleeson was very good and almost mesmerizing as an actor. the action seems to make up for the disappointing bits. 6.5/10 .

tl:dr , worth watching when u cant sleep at late night or if nothing else on. (I wouldn't pay to watch in cinema though. )

"Silence" a movie about the struggles of the early European priests in samuri time Japan . brilliant cinematography, excellent scriipt, excellent directing, perfect authentic make-up and costumes....then I realized it was also directed by the legend Martin Scorsese.

[Off-topic] simonbigwave:
watched "Jackie".. about Jackie Kennedy moment JFK was assasinated and the aftermath. Beginning was laboriously boring for me..but the great acting made up for it after midway. John Hurt and Nathalie Portman were excellent performances. too much obvious subliminal advertising for cigarettes smoking though.....made me feel maybe the cigarette cartel was behind the movie. i give it a 6/10.

"American Violence" some great actors doing great acting unfortunately mixed with very bad actors in a moderate crime robbery movie that has bad editing and bad cinematography..choreography fight scene not good. the dialogue is really bad. worth watching if u really bored late at night though. 5/10.
[Off-topic] Swissfyre:
Mission Impossible, both the Ghost Protocol and the Rouge Nation. Action movies packed with awesome chasing scenes and awesome hairstyles. Haha. 9/10

Also the newer Marvel films. Kinda nice and action packed, especially to the Age of Ultron and Civil War, but the time watching just those 2 movies is almost half a day. 6/10

"The Founder" a great movie about Ray Kroc and how he snaked the McDonalds original founders. I had already read Ray Kroc's oroginal book "Under the Arches” (IIRC the name) long ago but this movie seems to fill in alot of gaps that Ray Kroc omitted intentionally. Great acting and great dialogue. Very inspirational movie. highly watchable 7.5/10 .

”iBoy” British movie not as bad as the critics said it was. interesting concept almost like Johnny Pneumonic movie and some concepts taken from Lucy movie. watchable. 7/10 is generous.

Have you seen Lion yet mate? I thought the first half was amazing, the rest just good.

Who would have thought John Wick would become a cult hit? I re-watched it recently and can understand the appeal. Good, simple and fun Action.

To keep it brief... Passengers, Allied, La La Land, Live By Night, Lion, Gold, Manchester By The Sea, Paterson and Patriots Day are all movies I'd recommend. However, I did not like Jackie, Arrival, Silence, Hacksaw Ridge or Doctor Strange very much. Each has its moments but I won't ever revisit them.

Still, lots to look forward to this year. Hope we don't have to wait eleven months for a good one only to have twenty come out in December!

Just one more recommendation. For those who haven't seen it, Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a genius and very funny Horror/Comedy from some years back. A send up of Horror tropes all the way and well worth 90 minutes of your time.

happened to watch " Passengers" just now...really didn't like it...alot my friends didn't like it either. for me acting and story wasn't so good. just my feeling. and it wasnt Laurence Fishbourne's and Jennufer Laurence's best performance imo. ( the only good scene was when she was trapped in the water bubble which kind of was logical.) So its 5/10 for me.

watched "the abduction of jennifer grayston". low bidget and very very bad acting in a movie that could have been a good movie, but wasnt. 3/10.

Not new, but if you can find it, Severance (2006) is a good Horror/Comedy. Also An American Werewolf In London is a must watch. The Shining and Let The Right One In are both incredible and easily my favourites in that genre. The original Omen is really good as is the original Poltergeist movie.
