Great film. One of the most ambitious big cinema to come out in the past decade. Amazing concept and execution. Really put back the "wow" factor that we associated with hollywood (back in the 70's-90's) , which has been watered down by the barrage of superhero/CGI driven popcorn films.

It's not Nolan's greatest (Memento), nor does it have the greatest of his plots (TDK), yet no other Director this gen could've pulled it off, or even attempted something like this.

It's the film that firmly established Nolan as the Kubrick/Spielberg/Cameron/Scott of the present generation. The "dreamer" who makes films that push the limits of our imagination .

It is overrated by mostly millenials because :

1. There are very few directors this generation , who dream big like Nolan .

2. There has been a huge increase (past 2 decades) in the number of people in the subcontinent( and the rest of Asia/Middle east) who now have access to the English language and english/hollywood films , who have practically grown up in an era of Marvel movies and mindless action/popcorn flicks (F&F), so Nolan stands out like a lotus in a muddy pond.

3. Other greats of this gen like Tarantino, Fincher, Soderberg etc make movies that are far more "grounded", and require a much higer familiarity with US/western culture and the english language's intricacies . Even though Nolan makes complex films, the dialogue isn't as complex as in a Fincher/Tarantino/Soderberg flick. The average joe can still get it "visually", whereas a Tarantino flick can't be enjoyed without getting each and every line of dialogue .

4. The output of Nolan's predecessors , Spielberg (very few films, more into drama now), Cameron (no output since Avatar) and Ridley scott (Has lost his touch), is very low . So many tend to underrate what these guys achieved in their prime.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom starring Idris Elba and Naomie Harris a must watch. Brilliantly done.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Watched Captain Fantastic a couple of nights ago. Brilliant film.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Hindi Medium- Bollywood movie starring Irrfan Khan. Decent movie. Subject line- Parents struggle to get thier kids in decent school which also has become a status symbol.

Irrfan's movies usually refreshing and a good watch.

I was avoiding this thread until I had seen the movie! and omg I was going to give an 8.5 rating as well ! I totally agree, it's the best Spidey movie I've seen since Spidey 2. It draws a fair amount of inspiration from the spectacular spidey animated series and the spiderman blue graphic novel. And it most definitely was the most authentic, thoroughly enjoyed it. It totally lived up the hype, I watched it in IMAX 3D.

The only thing that was annoying: I lost my phone and realised it half way through the movie and it was at the back of my mind but the movie still managed to get my attention back eventually

I find the critical acclaim for WW so bizzare, it's not a 9/10 movie but is being rated as such. Homecoming was awesome, the sequel will be coming out in 2019; the only minor quibble from me was I wasn't high on spidey having that AI in his suit similar to Iron-Man but they made it work.

Top Spidey movies for me:

1. Spider-Man 2 (2004)
2. Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) , hard for me to separate the two
3. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
4. The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 , I just never fancied this reboot on any level.

Also, you know in homecoming I thought Zendaya was meant to play Spidey's love interest; her name is Michelle Jones but they call her MJ as a shout out to Mary Jane, maybe she will be acquainted with Peter in the sequel.

I like Zendaya:

But man, everything was on point; Holland is set for life now, I found it hard to visualise anyone as Spider-Man other then Toby Mcguire but Holland makes you forget about him. I also like this incarnation from the comics, always have been a DC guy but Spidey was my favourite in the MCU universe and their poster boy for the light hearted characters all the times he didn't get a bit dark so it was nice to see a portrayal where Peter really loved being Spider-Man during his early years. I loved Vultures suit, it wasn't OTT and had a realism to it; also loved how both hero and villian were working class individuals, was a great dynamic which ensured chemistry between them. The aerial scenes in general were so spectacular, arguably the best I've seen out of all the Spidey movies

Man I didn't know Zendaya was a such a big star,my wife was telling the same about how she likes pottery and stuff and lol now I'm seeing her everywhere.

And yes somehow they didn't mess up with the suit,and Karen(AI) was actually a great addition,have a feeling with Iron Man retiring,Spiderman will keep the humor going in MCU now.

Defn a great reboot after the disaster,Good for Sony to give it to MCU,hopefully X-men end up there soon,but looks like deadpool and x-men will stay with Fox and tbf don't think they are consistent.

I just came back from from the cinema after watching Homecoming.The best Spidey movie IMO,even better than Spiderman 2.The main suit was amazing,the last one,which he didn't take was even better.Also loved the plot twist when Peter reached his date's house)

Michelle was a cool character,also liked Ned.IDK why they chose an Asian actor for Flash.

I'm even more hyped for Infinity War now.

Overall,Homecoming was 9/10.

I only knew her for the music ) Yeah they made that suit work in the end, I just wanted to ensure they didn't tamper with what makes Spidey's abilities which are beyond the capabilities of a suit so didn't want him too dependent on that and in the end it was fine.

Logan was brilliant and generally their X-Men movies are fine, there will also be a reboot featuring the young X-Men and female Wolverine; that will have potential, hopefully they retain the same director and writer

That was a brilliant twist I didn't see it coming either The suit in terms of aesthetics was amazing, just didn't want Peter too dependent on the technology within it and they found the right balance in the end.

X-men and Wolverine some are decent some are good,the ups and downs between the movies is worrying and lets not even go to fantastic 4.

X-men,x2 = very good the next good one was x-men days of future past, Wolverine ,liked only Logan,there seems to be a lot of gaps in between and somehow they need Bryan Singer every single time for a decent flick.

Generally though the X-Men franchise has been consistent compared to other franchises, we can only really say that out of 10 movies only two were bad or average (apocalypse and origins) ; but no doubt Singer has been pivotal to the X-Men success. I hope that James Mangold is given a chance with an X-23 theatrical release given the brilliant work he did with The Wolverine and Logan; plus they'd have a lot to play with Laura as the centre piece. A guy named Simon Kinberg will be directing Dark Phoneix (one of my favourite Marvel Comics ever!) he has worked closely with Brian Singer in the past and most of the X-Men movies in the franchise so chances are it could be decent, Brian himself will work as a producer on that movie. Although I've not read up on the relationship between Fox and MCU which may complicate things

Btw I heard Fox will be releasing a TV Show relevant to the X-Men, do you think it will be any good ?

I have hopes from Gifted ,but surely Marvel would had done it better but because Bryan is directing it I'm kind of sure it wud be better than most DC tv shows.

Saw Gangs of wasseypur. Finished both parts in one go. Am stunned. The best modern bollywood movies I have watched. 10/10.

Anurag kashyap outdid himself. My previous favorite bollywood movies are black friday & dev d both directed by him. But he exceeded his usual quality here and made a gem of a movie. Every scene was as engrossing as the previous one & the story,pace never lets you down. The cast was perfect. It was almost like sopranos where every character was distinct & portrayed beautifully by the actors. It music was also very good despite being unconventional & not so bollywood. Cant get the hunter song & jiyo bihar k lala out of my head. Absolute must watch for everybody.

Gulal and Ugly should be next on your list in that case,also directed by him and Raman Raghav is also pretty good but below all his other movies except Bombay Velvet.

Also checkout Udaan co-produced and co-written by Anurag.

Seen both udaan and gulal back in 2012 . Loved both of them. Especially udaan and its music too is my favorite. I listen to it daily during my commute to work

I saw War for the planet of the Apes last night.

A very good film and a fitting conclusion to the 2 previous films. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have seen the previous 2 - Rise and Dawn first.

I will give it 8/10.

 

[in_cutter]

War For The Planet Of The Apes

For me, this is a masterpiece in storytelling. The FX are incredible. Alongside LOTR, the best trilogy ever.

Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Amazing movie & I'd give it 10/10.

Spider man...decent action but lame story line. Shouldn't be casting highschool kids for a superhero movie imo

Looks like Christopher Nolan has outdone himself with Dunkirk. This year's masterpiece apparently.

 

[SandyB]

Been very late in posting my reviews. .

Baby Driver - 8.5/10

Edgar Wright's newest, is to car-based action cinema, what fine scoth whiskey is to cheap brandy (fast & Furious) .

• Tremendous soundtrack : The entire movie, the action even the character's movements are intentionally synced with the background score/songs, this gives a beautiful flow to the film.
• Great characters : From the protagonist Baby ( superbly done by Agnel Elsort), to the supporting cast (Kevin Spacey, John Hamm) have done a fab job. Special mention to Jamie Foxx, who basically gives the performance of the movie, that too in a 10-15 min role. ! Even the nephew character is super funny
• As in all Edgar Wright films , the dialogue is funny, crisp and super smart, you actually can watch this film repeatedly to enjoy how good the dialogue truly is .
• Good and tight plot, for a heist film, though the climax seems to have mixed opinions among many viewers, though I personally liked it .
• Well choreographed car chases and great action . This is no "Ronin", but the chases are very realistic and use very little CGI

Overall, a hyper-stylish, fun and smart action film. Solidifies "Edgar Wright " as this generation's small cinema Auteur (after the 3 flavours cornetto trilogy especially)

Must watch for all car/heist movie fans.​

Spiderman : Homecoming - 8/10

Spidey is IMHO marvels biggest star. Which is eveident from the [popularity of the comics and the sheer success of the Sam Raimis trilogy in the pre-Superhero Era .

This movie, actually delivers, on everything that was expected out of it and some more :

• Didn't make people sick of the 3rd reboot of the same character in basically 10 years !
• Successfully integrated spiderman into the MCU, with his set up to the face of the MCU once Iron Man/RDJ hangs up his boots
• Great revision of Spidey, his costume/suit and the web shooting thing (close to comics), without boring you with the Origin story
• Great action, though very marvel like, still has enough freshness and doesn't overuse the CGI (though the movie is a total waste in 3D)
• Tom Holland is basically the best spidey ever ! He embodies cartoon/comic spidey way better than the sobbing mess which Toby maguire became.
• Good villian from Micheal Keaton and a stunning twist in the film .!
• Very simple , relatable story, not the whole universe at stake trope that has been going stale for marvel.
• Zendaya was good . !

I'd still put Spider Man 2 (Sam Raimi) above this , but the effort Marvel has taken to retain the freshness of the character and create a more grounded superhero is commendable. !​

 

[SandyB]

I totally agree, it's the best Spidey movie I've seen since Spidey 2. It draws a fair amount of inspiration from the spectacular spidey animated series and the spiderman blue graphic novel. And it most definitely was the most authentic, thoroughly enjoyed it. It totally lived up the hype, I watched it in IMAX 3D.

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] Agree with your assessment. But I thought it was a COMPLETE waste in IMAX. No special effects at all .As far as MCU and IMAX go, Guardians 2 and Dr Strange have been the best efforts, in IMAX, with stories and setting that justify IMAX 3D.

My favourite IMAX films of the year though is Kong Skull Island, followed by Fantastic beasts.

Ahh sorry to know mate, yes defn the best spidey after 2nd so long ago,thought the same,imo it wipes the floor with Wonder Woman

WW was good, from a comic fans perspective. DC nailed the transition from Book to screen better than their previous efforts.

Marvel Has a well established style of making its films, now, which has been honed and perfected over 12 films. So Spidey had to be exceptionally good to make a mark over the usual above average to enjoyable fare.

WW on the other hand, may be overrated, because of being the first appearance of a long overdue character and the huge failures of the DCEU films. Still analysts say WW could become the biggest Superhero film of the year.

And yes somehow they didn't mess up with the suit,and Karen(AI) was actually a great addition,have a feeling with Iron Man retiring,Spiderman will keep the humor going in MCU now.

Defn a great reboot after the disaster,Good for Sony to give it to MCU,hopefully X-men end up there soon,but looks like deadpool and x-men will stay with Fox and tbf don't think they are consistent.

[MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION] I feel deadpool will be spoiled in the MCU. Because the "outsider" Marvel guy label of deadpool works not just in the comics/film, but also in the making of his movies.

I don't think DP would have the same offensive dialogue if it were under the MCU brand ..

And "X-Men", has always been a mixed bag, yet very interesting individually, it's too established to go into the MCU. Of course if the present young Xmen , do a shoddy job, I'd be open to it too.

That was a brilliant twist I didn't see it coming either The suit in terms of aesthetics was amazing, just didn't want Peter too dependent on the technology within it and they found the right balance in the end. I suppose Karen is now the substitute for the Spidey Sense [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]

Pretty glaring omission that !. I loved how spidey need the "web fluid" now, adds additional challenges for him.

But the "sense" is such an integral part of his identity.

IMAX 2D would have been more ideal because I just don't like 3D in general but still enjoyed the movie and they utilized it well enough, it certainly would have been superior to a standard 2D screening. There was the option for me to watch it in 4DX but I have never been to one of those before, it's available for the latest Planet of the apes movie so am not sure if I should go for it or not.

And yeah I wasn't a fan of the techy Spidey suit which had an Iron-Man feel to it or that Tony built it for him because Spidey is a smart scientists himself as well and he doesn't really rely on an AI in his suit it's usually his Spidey Sense but they somehow managed to make things work and the director said that the Sense is something which they're looking to develop over time and Karen could be integral to it but yeah it's an original concept and not in line with the comics

 

[shaz619]

I probably will watch Apes in the isense screen at Odeon cinema, they have incredible speakers and the screen is usually bigger then the standard 2D one as well

For visuals: Always go Cineworld for the IMAX

For sound: Always go Odeon for the ISENSE

Le Samourai

Melville's supposed masterpiece. I loved the first 20 mins. The story is told via the camera, no dialogue, no distractions. Just a man, lying in his scarcely decorated apartment with light creeping through the windows litting up the room and him just lying in bed, smoke bellowing in the air. Just pure cinema those first 20 mins. Later on the movie becomes a police procedural which though interesting become tedious to follow.

 

[saadibaba]

Dangal

I don't watch Hindi movies much but some extended family was visiting from back home and this was available on Netflix streaming. Read that it did huge business in India and overseas plus Amir's movies usually turn out to be good so I decided to give it a try.

As with other "Sports" movies, the plot was quite predictable and there was hardly any suspense as we all knew that Geeta would win the final. Some familiar themes were presented well, the triumph of women over men in our patriarchal society, the conflict and its resolution between the father and the daughter as the child grows up and moves on.

A little troubling when the movie looked down upon Geeta's freedom and modernization when she moved to the Academy. Her decline in performance was due to her adoption of the new coach's defensive methods but her modernity was blamed as well. A troubling message for a feminist movie. The message seemed to be that one can be a rebel and stand up to society's oppression but never question parental dictates.

Despite that, there was one brilliant scenes in the movie which separated it from ordinary. The final fight when Aamir's character gets locked up in a storage room and is unable to watch the fight and give any moral or strategic support to his daughter. His helplessness at that moment, a moment he had dreamed of and worked for all his life.

After a few feeble attempts to bolt out of the room, he just sits down, his face becomes contemplative, as if he has realized the crux of his life. One has to let things be, despite all our efforts, life will continue, chips will fall as they may. We are mere witnesses to our lives. There is so much out of our control. The fickleness of fate and the turn of events are more often than not decided by factors that we have no control over. Sometimes just become passive, understanding our limitations and letting go is the only way to go forwards. Letting go of fate. The vivid clarity of that scene is breathtaking. Its extraordinary for Bollywood standards.

Passengers

Was a great film.

 

[idrizzy]

I probably will watch Apes in the isense screen at Odeon cinema, they have incredible speakers and the screen is usually bigger then the standard 2D one as well

For visuals: Always go Cineworld for the IMAX

For sound: Always go Odeon for the ISENSE

Apes was the last film I watched. I recommend it for sure.

First 30 mins - 10/10. Really haven't seen such an intense first 30 mins in a long time.
Rest of the film 8/10. So a 8-8.5/10 for me.


Before Apes, I saw Spiderman which was fun, overall a 7.5/10.

The apes movies are incredible, extremely underrated franchise. I like the really old ones to. Did you watch it in IMAX, ISENSE or standard 2D

[MENTION=140417]idrizzy[/MENTION] the war for the planet of the apes director will also be making the solo batman film which has ben affleck in it, talented guy so the project is in good hands

Criminally underrated. Only a select few trilogies have been so consistently good and it's hard to find a weaklink in the 3 movies. All 8+/10. Select few that I can remember being an impeccable trilogy are LOTRs, Dark Knight, Matrix.

Watched it in IMAX. Truly immersive. But I would've watched it on 2D but my brother was late to the cinema so had to get IMAX WILL NEVER GET 3D!

Super pumped about that. He's an incredible director and I can see Batman being a hit. DC ON THE RISE!

Dangal

I don't watch Hindi movies much but some extended family was visiting from back home and this was available on Netflix streaming. Read that it did huge business in India and overseas plus Amir's movies usually turn out to be good so I decided to give it a try.

As with other "Sports" movies, the plot was quite predictable and there was hardly any suspense as we all knew that Geeta would win the final. Some familiar themes were presented well, the triumph of women over men in our patriarchal society, the conflict and its resolution between the father and the daughter as the child grows up and moves on.

A little troubling when the movie looked down upon Geeta's freedom and modernization when she moved to the Academy. Her decline in performance was due to her adoption of the new coach's defensive methods but her modernity was blamed as well. A troubling message for a feminist movie. The message seemed to be that one can be a rebel and stand up to society's oppression but never question parental dictates.

Despite that, there was one brilliant scenes in the movie which separated it from ordinary. The final fight when Aamir's character gets locked up in a storage room and is unable to watch the fight and give any moral or strategic support to his daughter.

Could not believe it is you after such a long time.

I also watch Bollywood very rarely, only couple of brilliant movies in an year. But Dangal proved to be a little over rated. Story-line, script is quite ordinary but for visuals and wrestling scenes it is exceptional for Bollywood standards.

Not a fan of WW2 movies as I have had enough of them long time back. I would rather have realistic movies made on current conflicts, but Mrs CC has booked tickets for Dunkirk for tonight. Expecting a borefest.

Coach blamed Aamir for distorting the facts and response from film production was that they did so as story needed it.

Locked up in the room was another addition. He was able to hear the anthem but not commentary.

I can't wait to see "Dunkirk" tomorrow.

I literally can't sleep with excitement. As people like [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION] know, the evacuation is a huge part of our national identity.

As somebody needs to tell Trevor Bayliss and Joe Root, before you can go for victory you need to avoid defeat. It's why I've always admired FAF du Plessis so much. He gets it.

I fear that I might make a spectacle of myself though, as I will be watching in Australia. My first reaction when the small boats arrive will either be to cry or to applaud. I'm going with my teenage kids, and I'm not sure that they will appreciate either response.

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] it made me emotional bah gawd these warriors fought for freedom from the yoke of Nazism and Japanese Fascism. but nothing can beat the sheer brutality and realness of the horrors of war than the Beach landing scene of Saving Private Ryan [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

 

[James]

Just got back from watching Dunkirk.

It really is as good as everyone is saying!

 

[Robert]

Dunkirk.

Yes, it is good. Understated British film-making, tense and powerfully moving. Thunderous Zimmer score.

Though how did Tom Hardy keep his Spitfire in the air so long after running out of gas?

 

[saadibaba]

Not seen Dunkirk yet but my question to those who have, is this the best war movie ever made? Keep Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now and Thin Red Line as references. Not putting Schindler's List in the group as that one is more of a Holocaust movie than a war movie.

 

[Asif khan]

Not as good as Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse now setting is in a war zone but it isn't about war. the source material does not take place in a war but one of the greatest films ever and superior to Dunkirk for sure. The greatest, in my opinion are Full Metal Jacket and Taegukgi.

Watched it with Missus. The old man on the yatch kept reminding me of you, what an upright englishman would be.

Personally, felt underwhelmed. Decent movie, but could not get emotionally engaged.

 

[hadi123]

I saw Dunkirk yesterday night at IMAX in Milton Keynes. Great experience, made me realize how stressful the world war was and the people I watched it with also liked it

Apocalypse now isn't about war?

The aerial assault on a hapless Vietnamese village while they blast "Ride of Valkyries" by Richard Wagner. Quotes like "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning". Its about the futility of war and its grisly consequences. How men are driven to acts which can only be described as insane in the single minded pursuit of winning. The movie is staged in a war zone. There are even scenes of war between the two sides. What more can a movie do to be called a war movie.

As for Full Metal Jacket, its one of the weaker Kubrick movies and definitely not the best war movie, not even the best war movie on Vietnam. Platoon, Born on the 4th of July and Casualties of War being much better.

 

[James]

Agree that Schindler's List is a Holocaust drama. Not a war film. World War II is the incidental setting for the action however the film has little to do with it.

That's partly why I consider Apocalypse Now to be more of a psychological drama than a war film. Yes there are a couple of skirmishes depicted, nonetheless the Vietnam War is again used as an incidental setting as opposed to the subject of the film. Being based on "Heart Of Darkness" the film is more about the evil edge to all individual human nature than the grandiose collective massacre of war. The film explores the cultural and moral relativism (or lack thereof) in a government sending one man to kill another, "terminate with extreme prejudice" primarily because he has chosen to live his life in a different way to what is normally considered acceptable in Western civilisation. Not a war film.

Full Metal Jacket IS a war film. But frankly it is mediocre overall. The training camp sequence is rightly considered amazing mainly due to the frighteningly convincing acting of Ermey, D'onforio and Modine (most of the dialogue was improvised), but proceeds should have concluded there. The rest of the film i.e. the war part is a poorly written mess, disjointed and actually quite dull; some of the more amateurish work that Kubrick committed to the screen. In contrast his other films especially A Clockwork Orange, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut offer the very definition of "works of modern art".

Saving Private Ryan is a war film too. And it is obviously A Good Film, perhaps even a Very Good one. Sadly it suffers from the mildly ahistorical approach of rewriting history in favour of the US Army. I actively dislike the approach of making Omaha such a horror show (however much it was so) that the average viewer would be uninterested in even hearing about the 3 beaches taken by British and Canadian troops. The film has an occasionally jingoistic tone which I find maddening. The midsection of the film is also painfully dialogue-heavy and seems to drag on forever. However!! - that all said, the two battles that bookend the film are all-time classics, particularly of course the opener.

Dunkirk is by far my personal favourite of the bona fide WAR films that I have seen; not prepared to say which is the "best" war film because I have not seen enough of them. My father-in-law however is a genre obsessive and has a DVD cabinet full of the bloody things, so I think I will ask his informed opinion when he has seen it!

 

[Junaids]

Well, I watched Dunkirk and didn't cry, but I felt a little more proud to be British.

In many ways it reminded me of The Godfather Part 3.

The sense of anticipation was colossal, and it could not possibly live up to expectations.

The Godfather Part 3 was widely derided, but in retrospect it is behind only The Departed and Goodfellas as the best film of the last thirty years.

Dunkirk felt similar. Very, very good, but a slight let down.

Great post.

Agree that Joseph Conrad's novella, about a voyage up the Congo river by the story's narrator and his obsession with ivory trader Kurtz is the intellectual basis of Apocalypse Now and the theme of imperialism is prevalent in both. However, I do not feel Coppola used the Vietnam war setting incidentally. The theme of darkness inside human nature, the savagery of our actions in the name of war and the futility of it all could not have been presented in a different setting. In practical terms, in an interview Coppola explained why he wanted to make a "war movie" so that it could make a lot of money so he can use it to make little art films. Obviously, once he got into the subject matter, giving it the drug induced surreal surfer sensibility, it became impossible for him to treat it as just a commercial project.

Which brings me to my next question, what constitutes a war movie. You agree that Saving Private Ryan is a war movie but other than the war sequences, its really about a group of men finding Private Ryan and trying to bring him back home. One can also make the argument that WWII was used as mere backdrop and the real theme, the crux of it all was the question, is it justifiable to kill many to save one life. In war and in real life, this question baffles humanity and we still struggle to find a coherent answer to it.

Same with Full Metal Jacket which you rightly believe is a war movie, but was war not used simply as a background for Kubrick's persistent theme, present in pretty much all his movie, of man as a hapless killer, a bumbling destroyer of himself and Earth. Whether its 2001 Space Odyssey or Dr.Strangelove, even in The Shining, man is portrayed as the slaughterer of everything around him, the ultimate evil.

To explore human pathos in the realm of violence is an established narrative used in books, movies etc. What's fascinating about war is that it's regimented violence. It's civilized violence. Unfortunately, our history has provided us with enough raw material to scrutinize ourselves through that lens without having to resort of extraordinary fictional storylines. That is why "War movies" continue to stay so prevalent in our movie culture.

I must say it looks exceptional and as usual Marvel would have done another fantastic job, with the Guardians of the Galaxy folk and Spider-Man being involved it will give the Avengers franchise a much needed boost

I'm really looking forward to this movie and it's sequel.It's the culmination of the first 3 phases of the MCU.

Also looking forward to Ragnarok as well as JL(although not too hyped for it)

Talking about war films The Pianist and The bridge on the River Kwai are two of my favorites.

Beauty and The Beast 2017 - 8.5 / 10 Thoroughly enjoyed it, does the animated movie justice and is almost just as good but excellent regardless

 

[SandyB]

Watched it in IMAX. Truly immersive. But I would've watched it on 2D but my brother was late to the cinema so had to get IMAX WILL NEVER GET 3D!

Just found out last week that the screens that are Marketed as "IMAX" in INDIA are actually digital IMAX 4k screens (aka LIE-MAX), and not the real 70MM thing. !

Such screens though bigger than usual movie screens are barely 25% of the actual IMAX screen size, so you never get the same level of "Immersion" .. It's supposedly a colossal marketing scam by the IMAX corporation.

Been watching most of the past whole years Hollywood films thinking I'm getting the true IMAX experience. !

Anyways, given most normal movie screens in Bangalore are pretty shoddy (for 200-300 INR) , the sound and quality of the IMAX screens are considerably better and sharper than typical multiplex screens. So I can live with it . Just watched Dunkirk In It today .

 

[Abdul]

Dangal.

Aamir Khan was superb. The man has my utmost respect because he's so dedicated.

Putting on so much fat and then losing all of that in five months is no easy task, and he's 51.

DUNKIRK - 9/10

Truly impressed. ! Nolan is well and truly one of the ATGs now.

I'd still put Saving Private Ryan ahead, of the war films that I've seen till now (not many TBH). But Dunkirk was a truly unique experience.

Though other fabulous war films like Black Hawk Down, The Hurt locker etc, show the helplessness of people caught in between war, both Private Ryan and now Dunkirk, actually make you feel a part of it. That feeling has never been felt so strongly as you feel in Dunkirk.

The visuals, the sounds and most importantly the score, make you feel like one of the soldiers caught in the mess and praying for evacuation. The mixture of extreme wide angle shots and close ups really make you feel the tension.

What I liked the best about this film is that unlike previous war films, there is very little violence and bloodshed happening on screen. Most of the time, it is the anticipation of the impending enemy attack that builds the tension.

The effects felt real, and the 3 intertwining timelines (land , sea, air) felt well resolved at the end, except the Tom Hardy portion where

Spoiler

he keeps the plane airborne and kills of one last German fighter, before coming down ! Is it really possible to keep it airborne for so long ...

The ending felt quite "spielberg"ish, ie, emotional/sentimental which is strange for a Nolan film, though a a war film based on a true event would actually need such a closing.

Anyways, its great, absolute must watch in Theatre, and go for it in 70mm widescreen or IMAX if available, if you really wanna see it the way it was meant to be seen.

In India, i'd say go for the biggest screen near you (IMAX would be fine), because the visual immersion in the main attraction of this film. !

Phone Booth (2002). So many plotholes and the ending was bizarre. 4/10.

Loved the wrestling scenes. 9/10.

Watched Doctor Strange during my flight home yesterday.

7/10.Plot seemed a bit rushed in the middle but the actors were fantastic and the action scenes were great.The CGI was amazing.

watched 2 films yesterday. Kong Skull Island got to say really enjoyed it. some stunning visuals and graphics. Though there could have been a lil bit more character development but thats nitpicking.

7.5/10.


Also had the misfortune of watching the power rangers film. was a struggle to watch. film had very poor rhythm and timing from scene to scene.

4/10.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just watched Logan.

.James Mangnold what a film!

Fantastic film.Brilliant performances from little Daphne,Patrick Stewart and of course,Wolverine himself,Hugh Jackman.

Second best comic book movie I have ever seen and the best of the X-Men franchise.

9.5/10

Watched Spider Man Homecoming - Had extremely high expectations after reading all the reviews and generally being a huge Marvel and DC fan.

I'll just leave at that as I suspect everyone will disagree with me.

I'm with you on this one Immy saw it last week and although I have always been a Spidy fan and have watched most of the films thought their was just too much cgi action and Spiderman at times looked like a little toy like figure running through the blocks ..reminded me a bit like Morph from Take Hart lol.

[shaz619]

Not sure why people have an issue with IMAX because the one in the UK's Cineworld Cinema is simply outstanding, Nolan shot the film on IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large format film stock and it made for an incredible experience almost as if you were there. The movie was structured quiet well and not much dialogue was required because the action conveyed the narrative. The aerial scenes were outstanding! Arguably the best war film ever and once again cements the ability of Nolan as one of the greatest directors ever, Dunkirk - 8.7/10

I still feel "Saving Private Ryan" edges it .Maybe over repeat viewings it will change.

Also many people put "Full metal Jacket " on top (I haven't seen it Yet) .
