What did you guys think about the movie?

I fell asleep around 45 minutes in, but I think it was because I was already tired. I remember the visuals were pretty good. Gonna try to finish the rest either tonight or this weekend.

I liked it, the first act takes a bit of time, but it does pick up around act two and three. Cate Blanchette and Rooney Mara are always excellent, and Bradley Cooper also delivers a great performance. I always love movies and shows that are set up in the 20's-60's, always makes for interesting settings and beautiful set design.

Wife and I are planning on trying to watch the King's Man sometime this weekend since it's out on Hulu. We found the Kingsman movies to be pretty entertaining

Foo Fighters in a horror movie. Coming this weekend.

Robin Hood massively overhyped in this movie

Cyrano was great! One of the most beautifully told story and acting I have seen in a while. Settings were beautiful. Looked it up and it was in Italy.

Not one I'd watch normally but for the dry humour.

That's a remake of this movie, yes? Still, looks good.

I haven't seen that one with Van Damme.

See it if you get a chance, Rick. If you like Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, you'll probably like this one. It also has Powers Boothe (pictured) as the villain and I think he's great.

“Restless” on Netflix is a good French movie. Would recommend it.

Aquaman. With Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Nicole Kidman and Dolph Lundgren. Did not see this title in the thread surprisingly. It's what I expected. A big dumb action movie with some cool moments and special effects, and also some dumb moments and silly plot points. I didn't know Kidman and Lundgren were in the movie and that was a shocker. I didn't even recognize Lundgren.

Finally got around to watching the last installment of Daniel Craig as 007. While he is one of my favorite Bonds (right behind Connery), I liked this film the least. Entertaining, yes, but with a plot that was jumbled and seemingly just thrown together and lacked cohesion.

I have to agree, Craig was my favourite Bond. He brought it back to the original, not campy at all. A good portrayal of what Bond was supposed to be. The movie did lack cohesion, and I was really disappointed over all. I hope who ever replaces Craig brings the same brutish style.

I almost feel as if Skyfall should have, somehow, concluded the arc of Craig’s portrayal of Bond. That film was brilliant IMHO.

He's also my 2nd favorite. I'd rank Goldfinger as the #1,Bond film, and Casino Royale as #2

Watched "House of Gucci" last night. Entertaining but kinda mindless. But it seems to me that both Adam Driver and Lady Gaga are good in anything they are in

I've been wanting to watch this. Gaga is a really good actress.

I would say this is a good description of the movie. Not amazing, but a good movie to put on if you just want something to watch and a great performance from Gaga.
