Begin Again was a pretty good romantic drama.

Started watching Heart of Stone last night with Gal Gadot. I get that most movies use CGI and lots of it but the opening sequence was ridiculous, I continued to watch for about 30 minutes and then had to turn it off, the acting was stiff & the action unbelievable. The story is also ridiculous. I get some people will like it, I watch movies to escape for a bit but in my opinion this is just unwatchable.

Too bad. I was looking forward to it and you're not the first one I've heard didn't like it. I might give it a try when it's free to me.

I already said I enjoyed it. Folks are too serious about otherwise fun, over the top Action movies. Heck MEG 2 was very entertaining to me and was beyond over the top and even ridiculous. But sometimes I want over the top and ridiculous.
I can watch Gal paint houses and be content. She's absolutely stunning!

I saw 2 bad reviews of it here versus your 1 so like I said, I'll probably watch it but only when it comes to me for free. You also liked "Wrath of Becky" and I saw the first one and I thought it was awful. Wouldn't waste my time on the second one. I have a very good imagination and can watch most things and be happy, but not everything. I also didn't like the first Meg, so I think our tastes are a little different.

To be fair chief, you like just about everything. It's like people taking advice from me on what not to watch, but the opposite.

He's also a big Gal Gabor fan as he's said many times, so maybe a bit biased. Movies like just about anything are subjective, one mans/womans treasure is another ones rubbish.

Hate is a strong word, vociferously dislike is my preferred term.

Most new stuff is absolute shite though, you watch a movie from the 80's and wonder WTF happened to Hollywood.

Like many people I like certain genres of movies and tend to stick with those areas. I sometimes watch older movies that were great when they came out and now find they don't stand the test of time, these also seem to be the ones in the genres that I like sadly. There has always been politics and messaging in movies but it has changed direction and intensity and I think that is putting a lot of people off current releases. The other thing is that with so many streaming services and the hunger for entertainment (especially during covid) Hollywood has been producing more movies to keep up with demand and as a result have been putting out a lot of steaming heaps of crap. Just my opinion though.

There's just such poor story telling.

ET
Back to the Future
Goonies
Full Metal Jacket
Stand By Me
The Lost Boys
Rainman
BettleJuice
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Good Morning Vietnam
The SHining

I could keep going... all original movies, some fun stuff there for older kids. Now it's super hero or it falls flat.

This. But hey, trust me, I don't want or need anyone to share my sentiments.
Its all opinions. I will share mine just as others do. Shit if I listened to the world and trusted in opinions to guide my lifestyle, no clue what I may have missed out on, including a certain level of success.
It's all good!

I was just watching Edge of Tomorrow this past weekend for at least the 10th time.
It got me to thinking... There are certain films that I truly enjoy and will watch repeatedly when randomly channel surfing. Here's a few:
Anything from John Carpenter: The Thing, Escape from NEW York, Big Trouble in Little China
To Live and Die in LA
anything from John Hughes - 16 Candles, Uncle Buck, Breakfast Club, Weird Science
Aliens
It Follows
Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America
Predator, Terminator Judgment Day

There's more but these come to mind.

I agree with almost all of those but they are all 20+ years old which circles back to my point.

^ And I didn't actually say "You watched 'Wrath of Becky' and actually liked that @#$#....what??????!!!!!!," did I? I said "I saw the first one and I thought it was awful."
