I've been wanting to see this for ages, as I had the book as a teenager and loved the prospect of it.
All in all I thought it was a very good film, good acting from the two young leads. And the film does follow the book to a T.
I'm probably glad I didn't see it at cinema however as I don't think I would have paid they're prices and been happy with it. But a good film to watch in the comfort of your own house. My only issue was that to me Hugo Weavings acting felt quite forced, it didn't feel right to me and they could perhaps have cast someone different in his role.
I will be watching it again though. And am a bit upset there isn't a sequel lined up.

The Rambo film we didn't need
I was surprised when I suddenly saw a post advertising another Rambo film at the cinema. Seemed to pop up close to release without much promotion. It's been 11 years since the last Rambo film and that had a fitting enough ending to the franchise.
So back at the ranch we see him return to at the end of the last film, we find he has is playing uncle to a young girl and her mum who live there. After she takes a trip to Mexico she goes missing and it's up to Rambo to save the day. This definitely feels different to all the other Rambo films, more like a Taken plot with a girl needing rescuing. Overall its not a bad action film it just doesn't feel like a Rambo film. Let's just hope this is the last one.

The one that started it all. This film revolutionized cinema in more ways that likely any other film before it, or after.
While the base of the story is a worn one, the telling of this story is what sets it apart and makes it legendary.
We are introduced to a world (nee, universe) created in the mind of George Lucas that he unabashedly shared with a world that didn't know they wanted, and in some cases, needed it.
The fact that over forty years later we are still talking about this movie and it maintains relevance rather than just being nostalgic speaks volumes to the impact it has had on everything around it.
Though I figure there aren't too many folks who haven't already seen this epic, if you are one of the hold outs, knock it off. See the movie. It's better than you have been told.

This was obscenely dull. I would honestly struggle to find anything redeeming, or positive to write about it.
I can appreciate pieces of art being more of a thought provoking or statement piece, but I'm pretty sure being left dumbfounded and speechless (neither of those in a good way) was not the reaction this was aiming for.
I suppose visually it was pleasing to the eye, and some of the action (when it did occur) looked good too but I, unfortunately, saw this at the cinema, so I think that added to the spectacular aspect of those scenes.
I doubt I would have been half as impressed if watching it at home.
I would give it a miss, you aren't really missing out on anything, unless you like to watch Brad Pitt brooding, but doing it in space, as he goes on the galaxies most boring 'road trip'.

Lots of traditional Bond Elements
Aston Martin cars 😍
Bond is back!
Well finally Bond is here after the long delays for the release of this last outing for Daniel Craig.
This is a great film everyone will enjoy and Bond fans will love. It has all the best Bond elements. Exotic locations, amazing Aston Martin cars including the classic DB5. Great action scenes, gadgets and awesome Bond girls. Special mention for Ana de Armas kicking butt while in a cocktail dress and heels.
The storyline is typically Bond as well, complete with an evil villian and cool hideout. It has a lot of elements to other Bond films whether by location, Car, songs that will ring bells for those who are big fans. A nice touch.
Probably Craig's best outing in the Bond role signing off in style. Catch it at the cinema!
