Just got back, really enjoyed it. Like Marty said, it's not Dark Knight trilogy, but I thought it was a good watch.

Only thing I wish, maybe it went on a bit more and showed more of the Jokers crimes.

Rotten Tomatoes used to be fairly accurate but it's gone a bit to shit these days. I usually gauge if it's any good by the audience score because the critics section tends to be spoiled by some critics more worried about politically correct nonsense than the actual film.

Still missing about 20 years between now and escaping Arkham asylum and turning up to destroy Gotham, at least 2 more films in this, the next one's will be brutal hopefully and just absolute chaos.

Loved The Joker. It’s not a typical Batman film so if people expect that they will be disappointed.

Ultimately it’s about a loners struggles with mental illness. V dark. Great performance by Phoenix

That's completely out of order. Why should you have to smell some fuckers cod and chips? They should have been dragged out. The cinema isn't a private place where you can do as you desire.

It's almost as bad as the people who get their phones out during a film or feel the need to talk constantly.

I'm looking forward to it. Going on Saturday to see it.

It's doing really well even though the media tried their best to harm it with nonsense about it making people turn crazy and go on killing rampages.

Budget of $55 million, with returns of nearly $300 million, brilliant ROI.

El Camino - 9/10 - Brilliant, carries on from the series really well, some characters are visible older and have gained a lot of weight (Todd), and Jesse looks awfully good for a man who has spent the last year tied up in a cell.

Was going to put this on the TV thread, but yes, it's a full length movie in its own right.

Half way through.

Brilliant.

Just re-watched "The Gods Must Be Crazy" from 1980.
Hilarious film which at the same time makes you think about our material world.

Erm.....anyone watched Fractured on Netflix? New film starring Sam Worthington.

Would appreciate someone putting my mind at ease, because I am not the smartest at the best of times.

Reviews are saying there are hints after the first 30-40 mins as to the possible ending.
Thing is, I guessed right from within the first 2 minutes. No-one else has come out and said the same that I can see.

No idea how I worked it out, but then no-one else did. I can't see how I gained several degrees of intelligence all of a sudden.

All seemed so very obvious to me.

I hate being clever.

Jeez! Am I the only one who thought this was a pile of shite? All the flashbacks, not really any story line. Jesse looked lost without Walter. really disappointed. Kept watching, waiting for something to happen. Then it just bloody ended. My rating 2/10.

Saw The Joker tonight.

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Everything was perfect. The direction was gritty and dark, the settings looked genuinely like New York (Gotham) in the late 70s, the music was perfect and of course Joaquin Phoenix did what everyone thought was impossible and topper Heath Ledger's Joker which now looks a bit silly compared to what Phoenix brought to the role. As ccfctommy said, it's very much got The King Of Comedy running through it and Taxi Driver too but it's not as if it doesn't proudly show off those influences.

9.5/10


El Camino

I think they should have made a 10 part one off season out of this. It didn't have a particularly movie like quality to it. It felt more like two episodes tagged together. I think there was definitely room to explore more of Jessie's initial escape.

I loved it though.
The flashbacks with Todd the lovable psychopath were great and when Walt appeared I felt a rush of sentimentality run through me.
They treated the flashbacks with class and didn't overly dramatise anything.

There was some comic relief that I also wasn't expecting but it was welcome. All in all I think it was a nice well rounded ending.

8.5/10

Next we need a Skinny Pete & Badger spin off.

I'm with you on this, I did like it, but not much actually happened, so I was left quite disappointed.

They should have done a mini series IMO.

El Camino bored me, think I had a nap.

I turned Fractured off after about 5 minutes because again it was really boring.

There was one called Once upon a time in London or something set just before the Krays which was your typical type film which was quite good.

The lead actor Sam Worthington is far too wooden. I won't even consider it now I've seen he's in it.

Some people genuinely thought Walter White was still alive and that he was going to get up to some antics.

It was exactly what I hoped for.

Joker was brilliant too. Acting showcase from pheonix

The King on Netflix is pretty good if you can appreciate a slow build up, I enjoyed it. 7/10 movie with a solid lead actor.
