I wonder if the DC will make me like this film more than "I guess it wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen but it's very much meh", but I thought the theatrical was already a good half hour longer than it should have been, so........  Hm.. I think I will try and see.

Doctor Sleep - 5/10
I have a troubled relationship with King, but there are several exceptions where the stars align, the atmosphere delivers the right vibes, and the storytelling manages to hop between genuine intrigue and remarkable characters without turning into a circus of silliness. Not this movie, though 
It's difficult for me to get seriously drawn in by "mystery" involving telepathic superkids, all-seeing-eyed Renton and his magical blackboard, Gypsy-esque mutant folks getting high on dying people's souls-y fumes, all wrapped in frozen berry cake. At least Rebecca Ferguson provided the giggity, *it's something*

It's a 90'ies B-movie with Mick Jagger. If you can stomach those components and have nothing better to do.. I saw it decades ago and I have no intention of ever watching it again. Sort of like Mark Hamill's sci-fi action movies from 1989 and forward (Slipstream, Guyver, Time Runner).

1917 - 10/10, best movie of 2019. Left me speachless after the screening. I thought there couldn't be a more beautiful war movie than band of brothers.

Part 3 & 4 are my faves (I was a teen when I first watched them) and the killings become quite brutal and the character of Jason had become the final product with hockey mask and all (he was more of a side character in the first one which I didn't like).

King Arthur: Legend of the sword 8/10
I liked this one, good effects, good cast, straightforward story, I enjoyed the battles ... nice little romp!
And I liked the signature Ritchie touches, like the fast-forward story telling, I found that smart, efficient and powerful.
I don't understand why everyone was hating on this film, is it because of Guy Ritchie? I mean, the worst one can say is that it is a summer action flick that rushes the viewer through the story without fleshing out the world enough. But it is visually stunning and has good action, so it must be at least a mediocre swashbuckling+magic epic fantasy film, for the harshest critics ...
Too bad we won't get a Merlin-based sequel, they were planning to build up characters in a series of movies, culmimating in a team film. But it bombed in the box office, so ... have a new Matrix instead

because every arthur movie since Excalibur from 1981 and maybe the one with sean connery trailing behind has been mediocre cashgrab dogvomit sofar and that one shares the same faith, and bikerboy just aint got the right vibe

It's a stylized "you wot m8" brit gangster version of the King Arthur mythos. I like his "proper" movies but this one is something I would've joked about as a parody if someone asked me what a fantasy movie by Ritchie would be like, and yet he went and made exactly that. It was one dumb fucking movie :lol:

Hmmm so I finally rewatched Snowpiercer again after years
And damn I think it's a masterpiece. Loved it more than my original viewing!

I think people take it too literally, when it's obviously a philosophical movie.

I'm still very much of the opinion that "Bong Joon-ho" likes the smell of his farts waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

He's allowed. He hasn't made a bad movie.
He's a more talented director than blomkamp, but it's all same message. So it works.

For some people it's "so bad it's good", others it's "just plain bad" but for me it will always be one of my guilty pleasure favourites ^_^
