Movie / TV What's the last movie you watched

It's getting 6.5/10 on IMDB, are you blokes being overly harsh?
I'd take those scores with a pinch of salt, mate, and rather refer to elaborate reviews showing the user at least put some thought into their comments. Most 10/10's and 01/10's stem from people who clearly didn't bother watching the movie, like those fake reviews on Amazon trying to sell you shyte. In line with this they're usually short and ambiguous.

It's all politics now, and both proponents and opponents of the respective message gang together to influence the score. Moreover, the IMDB and especially RottenTomatoes have been known to falsify the scores of highly politicised movies.

There's a huge subreddit that calls on users to be "allies" and upvote the movie on the aforesaid platforms – that's why I don't buy the 6.5.

Which isn't to say only one side of the aisle is guilty of that kind of behaviour. Far from it.

A while ago the American right shot down 'The Hunt' by way of spamming negative reviews based on a mere misunderstanding. Fox had told them the movie was about liberals hunting down Trump voters for sport, while in actuality it was a bipartisan satire. But the campaign was enough to cause the distributor to panick, and the movie was pulled from its original release plan.
 
I enjoyed the Old Guard. Wasn't a masterpiece by a longshot and I won't be in a rush to watch it a second time but it kept me entertained for a couple of hours.

Okay watch this yesterday, I was really excited and keen on watching but then the overall movie was a bit disappointing. It is definitely one time watchable,. I really like the Visual effect but I feel it could have been better used to tell the other member story too. The sudden voice of the Nazi sub voice on the mic was like the devil speaking and Tom Hank supposed to be a religious person there. The story lack in appeal and I guess TomHank did hard to pull it put then he can't be the lone person to pull it off. The plot is disappointing action is cool but wish It didn't end the way it should. Well 6.5/10 from me.

Initially I had to get past the fact that no Fletcher class destroyers were commissioned in Feb 1942, but I decided to not be a rivet counter and just enjoy the movie. I agree, the story was a bit weak as well as the ending, but the action was well done.

I really liked it. was a bit on a short side, though. Tom Hanks per usual delivered above and beyond performance. Definitely worth the look.
 
Just watched The Outpost.

Damn! Very Highly Recommended. 4 stars. Catch the scenes after the credits.

Saw this movie yesterday and it is as good as the original one and I gave 9/10 truly enjoyed it.
 
Watched Grayhound yesterday. Very decent war movie. I can imagine it will appeal much more to the military geeks than general audience.
 
1917

Excellent. On a technical level, it's amazing - you could spend half the movie trying to figure out how they achieved some of the shots in it.
Here you go.

Think that actually showed the set up to one of the ones that baffled me most (About 5:57 to 6:04), where the camera is walked up to a deep shell crater, descends into it and then moves over the water at the bottom but no ripples move out from under the camera suggesting there was no longer someone holding the camera - looks like they hooked it onto a wire at the top of the crater.
 
Awesome movie in general. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it turned out to be almost perfect in every respect. Now I regret I missed it on the big screen.
