Scott is Back wrote:"Thor - Ragnarok"

Tino memorial rating : 7.5874 - Not seen any of the previous Thor's, but this one looked all new and shiny, so thought i would give it a whirl.

GSoE: 8.6

HH Scale of Accurate Titling: 8/10 – Thor Ragnarok - Well the main man is ol' Thor, God of Thunder & all that jazz....so thats a good start. Ragnarok as a word features quite heavily, still no overly sure what it was, but it was mentioned a lot.

Michaels scale of tits OR war: Tits - one topless scene where God of Pecs shows off his rippling torso, and the Hulk gets his dimply arse-cheeks out. Not sure if i would class it as a war, but some fisty-cuffs ensued, and there was a winner, so i suppose it could be a war.... who knows, certainly not me!

Rowley Scale of Northern Thriftiness: 5/10 - The wife was sent to sainsburys for some steak, and returned with the film, so it didnt cost me anything, but the Scott household took a hit of £9.99.

TattieSconesRRN-Q: "Piss off Ghost" - Said in a South African/Australian Accent, i couldnt tell which (is this racist?)

If Barry Norman had done his reviews like this he wouldn't be dead now.  

Soul Requiem wrote:Banshees of Inisherin was amazing, the performances were great and Dominic as a character was both hilarious and tragic.

Soul Requiem wrote:Seven Psychopaths is also very good, one of Sam Rockwell's many great turns. I'd argue that his brother John Michael has released the best film of the pair; The Guard is one of the all time black comedies.

king_carlos wrote:I The Banshees of Inisherin. Farrell's performance was brilliant especially the little facial expressions and body language. As usual Gleeson was cracking. Kerry Condon was an absolutely vital part as well though offering so much heart in her scenes. Then Barry Keoghan's turn as an important character given Dominic's tragic story puts the main premise of Colm and Padraig's friendship ending in perspective.

I didn't think it was perfect. I'd certainly rate it behind In Bruges and Three Billboards from McDonagh's work, though though as two absolutely spectacular movies. I loved watching it though, was fully captivated for the full movie and found it a movie I kept thinking about for a while after.

Somewhat similar to Last Night in Soho in 2021 in fact. Another movie that I thought had faults from a director who's work I loved but one I still enjoyed massively and kept thinking about afterwards. That said I'd definitely consider Banshee's the better of those two.

Suberb and devastating all in one. Simply awesome performances from cast especially Felix Kammerer.
Haunting, harrowing and utterly bleak.
Brilliant though.
