I'm pretty sure Heath Ledger will forever be the definitive Joker thanks to this film. 

Never understood why some people who like the first two of the trilogy then proceed to take a massive shit on this one. 

File under: Shit I watched to see if it was a bad as people said it was.

Sub-Category: It was.

The best Predator movie since Arnie went up against one. And I actually like Predator 2 a lot. 

I have no idea what Bane is 'supposed' to sound like, but considering the previous live action version of Bane was this grunting dimwit in Batman & Robin:

I'd think Tom Hardy's Bane should be cut some slack. 

Steven Spielberg's so-called "flop" (it was a modest success, by Spielberg's standards) is a cross between It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Dad's Army. There's some great set piece scenes here just unfortunately buried by a little too much pointless silliness.

What was the sample and what was the song?

Yes, another coast to coast road race movie, but this is the best of the lot of them and leaves all the Cannonball incarnations in the dust. More driving, better stunts, a great cast, and a coherent storyline. This is also the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre. Since it was 1976 I must have been 4, and I went with my father. He loves fast cars, and Mum would have had no idea wat this was about.

I think I watched a different movie to what most people saw when they went to see Thor: Love and Thunder. Because I was told this was bad. Like, really bad come back The Dark World all is forgiven bad. 

I wouldn't say it's better than Ragnarok, which is a contender for my favourite MCU movie, but this was a lot of fun, with a really rocking soundtrack (mostly Guns n Roses), although it has some really dark moments too. Gorr the God-Butcher is a really creepy villain (though at the same time a sympathetic villain). 

So glad I didn't have to do what these guys did. It doesn't gloss over the horrors of war, and bombing in particular, but at the same time puts it in a context - it was young people doing what they had to do stuck in a bastard of a situation.

I found this a bit of a yawn, but it has it's moments.

I'm somewhere in the middle on this one. It's definitely not the worst MCU movie of all time (Eternals and especially the two Ant-Man movies are worse than this ), but this was definitely my least favorite Thor movie, by quite a bit. Gorr was a great villain, and I actually think the more dramatic scenes were generally quite good. Sadly, this may be the most tonally dissonant movie I've seen since The Last Jedi, with the dark scenes feeling like they come from an entirely different movie from whatever the fuck cringey comedy that breaks out in between all the serious parts. I found Ragnarok funny outside of a few annoying parts, where this one feels like it removes anything remotely funny and instead takes the annoying crap and dials it up to 1000. Almost as bad as Ant-Man levels of comedy at points, especially those damn goats
