"Craig Brewer could have easily turned Mike and Claire into comedic punchbags and to make a big, broad studio comedy about the low hanging fruit that is singalong tribute acts but he instead goes for an earnest dignity..." boxd.it/evb5JD

"You don't so much 'review' this film as you do expose (pardon the pun) your own unwavering perversion." boxd.it/euDe63

"... It becomes a neat little celebration of network stunt departments, Tangerine Dream scores and good old air cannon vehicle smashes!" boxd.it/euByE1

"I remember a time when a STAR WARS movie was a goddamn event... not four episodes of a TV show stitched together and passed off as 'spectacle'." boxd.it/euAC61

My Eldest: "Would you come and see this with me?" Me: "I dunno. It looks pretty naff. Would YOU come watch THIS with me?" My Eldest: "I dunno. It looks pretty naff." Me: "Congratulations, buddy. You've just found yourself in your first Mexican Stand-Off!"

Never in recent years has a genuinely solid blockbuster pulled such an inept and self-sabotaging "Hold my beer and watch me shit down my own legs!" quite like this thing does two-thirds into its excessive 133 minute run time. boxd.it/eucoOb

"... I don't know what the fuck a Mason Thames is but I refuse to accept it and believe we should fight back hard against it replacing real, human actors!" boxd.it/eucfP5

"This whole endeavour was pointless from the get go but to reach the end of the destination and find this is all it had to say? We just got played in a con we willfully subjected ourselves to for no good reason." boxd.it/etIW1x

"... By being an 'Act II' more than a standalone movie in its own right, this thing has no choice but to move and keep moving. There's no set-up, no catch-up, nothing. Just pure propulsion." boxd.it/etIfKp

"Renny Harlin's 4½ hour reboot / retread / reimagining chopped up into 3 films (and soon to be restitched back together for some bizarre roadshow epic) asks the question 'What if more was... you know... less'?" boxd.it/etHZU9

"This doesn't look, act or move like the gory slop too many over the years have generalised it as. There's a wit to this that too few of its brethren don't possess." boxd.it/eszZ9x

"What's here is mostly fun in a risible, heavily drunk 3am sort of way. And that stock footage of the plane crash is frickin ace. But you can get that in the trailer." boxd.it/erRl4f

The irony is not lost on me that a lot of the alt posters for one of the biggest / most successful movies of Ryan Gosling's career are using imagery from one of his best but least successful films.

"I liked it a lot the first time and I liked it even more the second time - where the inarguable bagginess didn't play as badly at all as much as it did on the big screen." boxd.it/erQ3wt

"I walked away from this - the first of what is alleged to be a series of infrequent standalone straight-to-streamer movies in lieu of more seasons of the show - feeling like both Krasinski and the so-called 'Ryanverse' deserved considerably better." boxd.it/erPZzN

Tony Kaye has been dining on the scraps of the AMERICAN HISTORY X debacle for 28 years. He kind of has to, doesn't he? Coz without Google, none of you can name a single memorable thing he's done since. youtu.be/v8NdfaGn_Gc?...

Honestly, watching the Michelle Monaghan of KISS KISS BANG BANG, GONE BABY GONE, EAGLE EYE and TRUCKER devolve into 'dead-eyed streamer slop wife' territory is just so sad... youtu.be/bWtrFcerKE0?...

"... If Ryan Gosling won't do your movie and John Krasinski has a scheduling conflict than Jack Reynor's work here indicates there's really no harm in waiting." boxd.it/eqFOA7

"I know people who think I'm bonkers for regarding this film this way but I really do consider BLUE THUNDER to be one of ~the~ greatest action thrillers of the 1980s. For what it's worth, the new 4k UHD remastering from @ArrowFilmsVideo is tremendous." boxd.it/eoNoz1

"Why don't you boys pack up your shit and head back to Fuckheadistan or wherever it is you're from." boxd.it/eoN0Rv boxd.it/eoN4mL boxd.it/eoN97B

"... There's definitely an inarguable vibe to it that makes it easy to understand why it's still cherished by its cult to this day." boxd.it/eoCSSv

"... For the bear attacks [Reiné] has his stunt people smother themselves in red paint then actually wrestle the actual bear." boxd.it/eoC601

"Oprah doesn't participate. Springer is dead. Ricki Lake seems to think if it ain't good enough for Oprah why should she. The rest of the talking heads don't really offer up anything incisive. They simply rock up and confess what we knew all along..." boxd.it/enSFJt

"It's not a film about cowardice. It's a conflict of conscience and confidence inside of a pressure cooker of a real time thriller..." boxd.it/en3dwp

"This is one of those piss poor highly derivative QUIET PLACE rip-offs of sorts that has neither the ambition nor the budget to stay the course so quickly relegates itself to a desolate island for a sluggish and genuinely boring two-hander..." boxd.it/en11vv

"It's like one part a portfolio of Jon Bernthal's special and particular display of ripened hammery and one part a Marvel-ificated homage to the action siege stuff perfected by THE RAID and DREDD." boxd.it/emZVxN

"I love the man. I love his ethos on enduring and responding to tragedy - and boy, has he!" boxd.it/elDtxd

"It kicks in where the first film left off, it takes a stale 'hook' approach (what if there was two of them this time?) and it just assumes that 'more of the same but...' bigger, faster, bloodier, etc will suffice. And it actually really does." boxd.it/ej0HvT

"... Director Daniel Chong and writer Jesse Andrews aren't afraid to absolutely lean right in on, embrace the abject zaniness such a concept needs and just be... you know... a very silly, funny cartoon." boxd.it/ej0gVb

"It's the same tired twisted torsos scuttling out of dark corners and yawnsome elongated demon faces appearing over people's shoulders whilst Wilson looks bored and Farmiga hams up a storm. It's all very embarrassing now." boxd.it/eiZIvj

"The only thing more embarrassing than this film was Robbie and Elordi's ridiculous press campaign with one another, both fully knowledgeable to the fact they have not one ounce of chemistry with one another." boxd.it/eivvgZ

"... It all ends up exactly where you think - down at the docks like the stalest of these films do, with an under-utilised character actor turning out to be the bad guy." boxd.it/eidEgX

"... It's so massively apparent that Carpenter is just completely uninvested and uncommitted here." boxd.it/eeUKqJ

"[Walken] brings an entirely unique tone to this - exactly as you'd imagine he would when he steps into an ostensible Chuck Norris vehicle but refuses to adjust his sensibility. The film is the better for it." boxd.it/eeUiCd

"McCarthy's novel was never going to work as a swooning treacle-thick romance but Weinstein was gonna squeeze it until it fit the mould or crumbled under the pressure, like a model / actress trying to squeeze past him in the doorway of a hotel bathroom." boxd.it/edpuIV

"If you told me that there was an original cut of this out there with another 25 minutes that had been roughly ripped from it I'd believe you." boxd.it/edonsz

"I was hugely impressed with how the wild tonal swing has been kept out of the marketing - a rarity these days - along with how genuinely relentless it is with its action." boxd.it/ednYkF

"... It nails the Agatha Christie esque vibes it was going for in a much more natural way than Rian Johnson ever has with his KNIVES OUT movies." boxd.it/ednAyX

"... In this trios hands the fascinating story of former amateur wrestler and MMA fighter Mark Kerr becomes 2 hours of two unlikeable characters being melodramatically shitty towards one another." boxd.it/edmQJZ

Someone lied on their #CelebrityTraitors application under "occupation"...

"The SCREAM franchise really has given me a greater appreciation for the FRIDAY THE 13th movies..." boxd.it/ecoePP

"To see Trump face such similar justice would really be something." boxd.it/ebAoUZ

"... The empty open question mark central to the narrative doesn't translate that well to a wholly satisfying film." boxd.it/ebyRaH

"... Sometimes having folk like Stephen Rea, Donald Sutherland, Jeffrey DeMunn, Max von Sydow, Joss Ackland and Imelda Staunton hang out and chew on leaden dialogue with big and unsubtle 'accentz' is a form of enjoyment in itself." boxd.it/ebyHjT

"What the hell can you say about this film that's not already been said?" boxd.it/e8GwuP

"Charlie Polinger's film is an astonishing and astonishingly assured directorial debut. I have to acknowledge its blatant effectiveness given how upset and uncomfortable it made me." boxd.it/e8GkmT

"It's like someone retold a MAGNIFICENT SEVEN style western in the 1980s... but with space robots instead of cowboys." boxd.it/e8Ewl5

"... It's a piece of basic pulp... a 'Fear City' era chase thriller... which just so happens to have a simply magnificent lead performance from the astonishing Gena Rowlands." boxd.it/e7XBPD
