Movie Rating Watch

I'll refrain from gushing, but needless to say, this movie was wonderfully entertaining mindless violence. Just what I look for in a film. I'm still cheesed off that there wasn't a midnight screening, but it was a wonderful showing with loads of us packed in to see it. There's no denying that a packed house makes for a better experience. We were all laughing and cringing together, such fun.

As you can see just a little further down the screen, I saw this another two times, and I'm still not convinced that I saw all the little nods to other things. Top tip for the DVD commentary... one with actual commentary, and one with Peter just telling you what all the little things were.

Speaking of Peter, he is definitely one of my top five things about DP2. He's magnificent, and I genuinely panicked when bad things started happening to X-Force... and damn the script writers for lulling me into a false sense of security.

Bit of a spoiler alert here if you haven't seen it... I love the credit scene... but who in their right mind would give Deadpool a time travel device?! What about that seemed sensible to you, Negasonic Teenage Warhead? WHAT?

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) in Movies

So... I'm beginning to think that if I haven't heard of a film franchise then I probably shouldn't worry about catching up with the previous ones. We had an Unlimited screening of this one and I've left it off my listing because I walked out 15 minutes into the movie. This is nothing on the quality of the film. There are three reasons that contributed to me leaving: the start of the showing wasn't until 8.15pm, there were excessive trailers/ads, and I disliked the first one so much that in my mind I already hated the second.

I knew I'd give it another go, and this second time was much more successful. (It didn't hurt that the seats were much more comfortable than the ones in Bristol.)

I'm not sure that there's much to say about it though. I mainly gave it three stars because I enjoy some mindless violence in my movies and Benico Del Toro is able to perform it perfectly. In all honesty it should probably get two stars. I didn't feel like there was much of note in the storyline, and nothing really seems like it gets resolved as such. And the ending... I will not be watching a third.

Manhunt is a classic game released for ps2 & xbox original. The game brought serious intensity to a very dark and violent videogame story.

With so may dark, demented, gory & bloodsoaked videogames released today, manhunt to me remains one of THE very best, although it may not have aged well, it does not take away what a major hit it was with mainstream players.

Manhunt is a stealth-based psychological horror video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.

originally released for the PlayStation 2 on November 18, 2003, and for Microsoft Windows and Xbox on April 20, 2004.

Manhunt follows the story of convicted serial killer James earl cash, who wakes up after his execution to realise...He's still Alive?!

You take control of Cash, who is given an opportunity to escape by "the Director" a mysterious man who locked you up in carcer city, jam packed with more free roaming criminals..the worst of the worst, who gets off to violence and will be watching your every move via cctv.

If your going to escape. Prepare to get EXTREMELY VIOLENT!
