Awix (3310 KP) rated Doomwatch (1972) in Movies
Feb 26, 2018
Big screen adaptation of then-popular BBC TV SF-thriller show looks much more like a horror story than the telly version normally was. Scientist (Bannen) discovers something nasty afflicting the inhabitants of a remote island; can anything be done to help them?
Competently done; resembles the TV show in its tone and concerns much of the time. However, the general tone and subject matter (investigator on remote island discovers conspiracy of silence amongst locals, including disappearing corpses) would almost make you suspect a Wicker Man rip-off, except this was made first (by a matter of months). Not that it matters much these days, but the actual stars of the TV show barely appear in the movie; they may have been busy actually making it at the time the movie was in production. Worth seeing if you're familiar with the TV show, probably a bit too low-octane if you're not.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Horrible Histories: The Movie (2019) in Movies
Aug 6, 2019
While it’s all silly observational gags and short musical numbers, something the TV adaptations thrived on for a shorter run time, you can’t help feel this soon runs out of movie material and limps along, back and forth from character to character trying to squeeze as much comedy as they can from their scenes.

Andy K (10821 KP) rated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) in Movies
Dec 14, 2017
The Clone Wars movie was basically just an extension of the TV series which I didn't watch much of, but it was decent. It makes me wonder if other Star Wars TV movies would do well.
I would love to see animated adaptations of the Timothy Zahn novels, but that probably will not happen.
This Clone Wars film can still be enjoyed by Star Wars fans young and old.

It didn't take itself to seriously
About what I expected - It made me laugh.
Take Baywatch (2017) for what it is. It is a movie based on a bad - though much loved - TV show from the 80s and 90s. This is not some huge dramatic movie. It is not supposed to be Johnson's or Efron's chance at an Oscar run. It is just a fun movie. I enjoyed it. There are some very funny moments and the cameos from The Hoff and Pam Anderson were perfect.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Baywatch (2017) in Movies
May 30, 2017
BAYWATCH's attempt to swim from the campy pleasure of the TV show to the big screen's raunchy and profanity-fueled approach does little to stay afloat.
