too damn quiet
i was so bored with this from start to finish, it was just too slow and characters that were introduced were just gone within minutes .... such a waste of time I'm never getting back ,but then again given today's climate any chance to get back to the cinema i`d grab with both hands

Excellent Disney family fun
For anyone expecting a reason for this film, there isn't one other than the essence of cinema itself. Entertainment.

Went with my 2 boys 9,11 and came out with happy faces. Having watched the original I can understand the negativity this movie may receive but for kids watching this the first time it's pure Disney magic.

Ticked all the right boxes and frankly couldn't ask for more from a movie.

Another film gettign the concurrent cinema/Disney+ (behind a paywall) release date, this one is very much a throw-back to the days of yore: the most relevant comparison I can come up with, perhaps, is my understanding of what 'The African Queen' is like (never seen that film) in that both films rely on the star power of their respective leads (here Johnson/Blunt, as opposed to Bogart/Bacall).

Like Disney's earlier 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films, this is also - loosely - based on a theme ride: this time, the setting being a cruise down the Amazon. Like 'Pirates...', this also injects a fair does of the supernatural into the proceedings: I have no idea whether or not that is part of the ride, never having been to any of the Disney resorts.

I also have to say that I felt, at times, that Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson and Emily Blunt came across more as bickering siblings rather than falling-in-love, and that Jack Whitehall's character (the brother of Emily Blunt's character) more-or-less faded into the background for a fair chunk of the movie ...

Gone Girl on a train
I was so looking forward to this film. It looked like another Gone Girl and it starred one of my favourite actresses working in Hollywood today in the lead role. Unfortunately I was left a bit disappointed. This isn't a bad movie by any stretch, it simply failed to live up to the high expectations that I had for it. Maybe this is my fault, if all you are looking for is a well acted thriller then you may like this one better than I did.
