Cavil nice? Lacked charisma as Superman forgetting to smile (I blame Snyder). Also unsure if as Geralt of Rivia he couldn't even said unable to portray ******* whom all women want to ****.

My issue mainly come down to how ripped he is. Will say its surpsing how much people can bulk down Chris Evans in Materialists was noticeable that hes no longer having to maintain Marvel bulk.
Amazing what coming off the juice can do. The fact everyone in Hollywood avoids the topic is mad

Tom Hardy in Warriors being a good example of definitely 'helped' along the way.

By that I mean you can see him slapping women to get his way. Connery and Moore had it. Bond is not a nice guy. Just not sure Cavil does acting wise.

I also don’t think Snyder’s man of steel was that great an interpretation of Superman and Kal El. But that’s a different discussion.

And Craig wasn’t as Bond? I agree about Cavil as Kal, he had a rugby player’s physique.

You can see how McCaw and Read have lost a lot of muscle mass since they retired.

You compare them to a few retired footballers like Fernando Torres who has bulked up a lot. Not Much to do once retired apart from going to the gym?
 
New Bond will be someone who isn't a household name so they don't have to pay him much and be no older than 30s so he'll look not old for however many movies they contract him for (the number will be higher than 1)

Yeah I'm guessing a three movie deal hoping to be 4 or 5. So your probably covering 15-20 years of movies at roughly one every three years.
 
1992's Alien 3. Has some good moments. Love the bleak opening of everyone who survived the previous movie has died anyway except Ripley. Setting for the story and some of the characters feel a bit crap. Special effects are interesting to watch in that doing them in the first 2 movies particularly the first movie wouldn't have been an option. Obvious each of the 3 movies were made by different people. This is the least good movie so far. If the franchise ended here it would probably be easier to look past that.

1997's Alien Resurrection is the first Alien movie I saw back in the 90s. Someone in my family rented it on video. Not as good as I remember. That it could do special effects that weren't an option for earlier movies is enjoyable. There's underwater chase scenes.

2024's Alien: Romulus I like how they took the effort to continue the '1970s in space' look of the first movie.
 
That's a shame, the novels are really good
Well they changed the story, so I couldn't get my head around it. Would have been better as a short series, as they changed the storyline and took out some items which made it less obvious on who did the killings
 
Just watched the last/latest Mission Impossible, and quite quite easily say the worst of all.

Storyline was pretty poor, didn't really keep my attention. The filming seemed to be a series of filler scenes to navigate from one stunt to another.
 
I thought Craig was a poor Bond tbh, comfortably one of my least favourites (probably least favourite)

Don't get me wrong, his films were good films but not good Bond films. Not read any of the books though, so it's just my feelings having grown up loving the movies.

I remember reading something, can't remember if it was with Craig or one of the Directors of the newer films, saying that the Austin Powers trilogy had made it so they felt they had to go mega gritty because anything lighter just felt too Austin Powersy
I've read all the books, several times, and Craig's version of Bond is the most akin to the books.
 
I think I watched the first one, got bored in the second and then never wanted to watch any of them again.
This is what I did. Mission Impossibe 3 isnt great either but they get vastly better after that. The first is real weird in the series in terms of tone but I love it.


Watched The Roses last night and it was hillarious (far better than the trailer suggested) and anyone whos been in a long term relationship will get it.
 
Alien 3 is underrated.

Hell ye...

It only gets better the more movies they make too!!!!

Im covering a hostel so am 2 movies in 1 to go...

The new Amazon Prime movie was amazing!!!

Flight risk would have been a great little indy movie had they really committed to it, although Walberg was good, I hated the other 2. I would have wanted to see a gritter version, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe it just seemed great after the Amazon prime movie?!

Im a few minutes in to watching the Jessie Smullet documentary, and its hard not to laugh so far
 
Weapons is good. Watched it at home. If it's still in cinemas where you live it'd be worth going to a cinema for the locked-in-no-pressing-pause big screen sitting in the dark experience. 128 minutes horror mystery thriller.
