Greenland



Just another planet killer visiting the human race...... again. My review of this film is what I thought of it, but you might think it's the best film since slice bread was invented so, give it a watch and make your own minds up.

I watched it last night, it has some good points in it, mainly Morena Baccarin, who the hell doesn't like Morena?, its also got some bad points in it, namely Gerard Butler. The dialogue and some of the cliche scenes could have been from any number of films but hey, it is what it is, is it watchable?, yeah, but only once, even Morena couldn't tempt me back to give it another viewing.

Spoiler Alert
I have one major criticism about this movie, well two if you add Gerard, the 7 year old kid with diabetes who has an insulin injecting pump strapped to his body. They're going to be in an underground shelter for nine months with only a limited amount of insulin available, what is the kid going to do when it runs out?, well he's gonna be toast that's for sure so, whoever thought of this insulin part needs a bleeding slap, they really need to think these scenarios through a lot more.
I just wish that whoever came up with this scenario had put their brain into gear and chose a different illness, you know like a short term illness like mumps or tonsilitis, just something that puts extra stress on the parents instead of giant plot holes like the insulin one in this movie.

Film Rating was a tough one as I almost turned it off twice but I have to give it one, if Morena was cavorting about in a bikini I would have given it 9/10 but she didn't so its down to the actors, the dialogue and the scenarios.

Pro's
Morena Baccarin +2
Comet and fragments +2.5 they didn't constantly shove it down your throat and some of the comet effects were top notch.

Cons
Gerard -1
Insulin -1
cliche dialogue -1
cliche scenarios -1

Film Rating, 5.5\10
Still an average movie but this could have been a great film if they had used a different male actor and re-written most of the cliches out, come up with something different instead of re-hashing the one's we've seen a thousand times or more, sadly they didn't think it needed doing, if they had this film could have been a 7 or an 8. The plonkers.

Top Gun Maverick



Film Rating 5\10
I watched this film today and found it to be a load of Hollywood hyped up bollocks as usual, is it watchable?, well once, and once only. The Top Gun fanboys will be saying yes, yes, yes yes as they put a death grip on their poor little joysticks, meanwhile I, and probably millions of other viewers won't ever watch this film again.

The early flying scenes were pretty good but some of the latter flying scenes are taken from the improbable to the bleeding impossible, it tried to be a good movie but it shadowed some of the cast from the original movie too much. Switch Hangman for Iceman, Rooster for Goose and Old Maverick for young Maverick and you could've been watching the first Top Gun film play out again.

Jennifer Connelly, I don't know why she was in this movie or why they even thought she'd bring some romantic distraction to this film as it was lacking in substance from the get go. The whole of her scenes should have been canned and replaced with some pilot death scenes as they trained to do the impossible and a few pilot deaths would have vastly improved this film no end.

As far as I'm concerned this film didn't try hard enough to bring to life the realities of failure for these gung-ho pilots and that's why it's just another average movie.
