Oh, look… 4 years later and a different Robin Williams. What is the difference? Well, Matt Damon for one thing. This is perhaps the most serious of the feel good films, riding that boundary boldly and without apology. I was obsessed with this film when it hit its Oscar vibe. I wanted it to win everything, such was its impact on me, and still is. No moment in cinema is more likely to break me than “It’s not your fault“. I am not sure I have ever seen it outside of the cinema without taking a pause there… Minnie Driver made two good films, this and Grosse Point Blank. And in this she is perfectly cast. The feel good factor comes from enduring the pain and seeing it to its conclusion, as Damon rides into the gloom to chase his girl. Perhaps the most satisfying end credits of all time! Just watch him drive towards happiness…

Not just for kids!
I'm not interested in the first 2 films, but having kids I've been subjected to watch them. So when they realised the 3rd film was out, obviously we had to go and watch it instantly. But OMG how good?! From start to finish it had such an easy story line to follow. Its got so many life lessons in, such as losing a parent, people having limbs missing, forming friendships and relationships. It's got such a lovely ending. I cried. But then I love a good ending so?♀️ but honestly if you like I feel good cartoon it's worth the wTch

Good soundtrack
Stranger Things meets Slasher
Part one of this Horror trilogy on Netflix doesn't disappoint. Seems like it's been a good while since we had a decent modern slasher film. This feels like a 90's horror, and does well to set the scene for '94. It starts with a great pre title scene similar to films like Scream. The killer outfits look good, another very Scream like. The film slows in pace a little towards the end but overall it's very enjoyable. A long with a decent 90's soundtrack to top it off. Roll on part 2 next week.

I was left feeling disappointed after seeing this film. The first one was such a feel good comedy with a great storyline and this film just didn’t measure up.
It still had a fantastic cast and great songs so I think it was the storyline that was lacking for me. A lot of the film was telling Donna’s story of how she met Sam, Bill and Harry, this was nice but I didn’t feel it added anything new to the story. The present was Sophie trying to get the hotel ready for its grand opening. To be honest not much happened in this part of the story.
Overall the film was okay I just didn’t feel there was enough of a storyline.

Was this even in the theatre??
Not a bad action movie with lots of killing but I wish there had been some plot development with the fantasy characters. There was so much potential for a great story with elves and ogres and magic all coexisting with humans. But instead I feel like this movie was just a compilation of all the action scenes from a good movie and they used the thinnest plot line to string them together.

Keeps the heart of the Samurai film alive
Lovely depiction of a samurai village
Tom Cruise is quite good
Epic Scope versus a small feel.
A great modern samurai film
I didn't expect a samurai film with Tom Cruise to be any good, but this one is great. Solid casting, great story, and even great action. But with beautiful moments of quiet. Which really is the samurai way. I love the depiction of the village, with everyone perfecting their respective crafts.

Thrilling interesting and twisty
I really loved this series and while I sometimes flinched away at the use of sexual violence it portrayed it did so with a purpose rather then to revel in the responses.
As a single mother I could relate to the struggles of motherhood when even when you try your best you never feel good enough.
