I watched that movie back in March and I like that one to as, at least currently, it's a movie worth re-watching from time-to-time which is what ultimately makes or breaks movies in my book (of which only about 20% of everything I have seen (i.e. I have seen 2,350+ movies in total) is worth re-watching). in fact, while I am sure some will disagree with me, I prefer that directors (Guy Ritchie) more recent output (i.e. from 2015+ (as all of the movies of his I like are from 2015 to date)) than his older movies that some praise and he's probably most known for like Snatch (2000)/Lock Stock (1998) which are pretty much forgettable if you ask me (basically not worth re-watching). my #1 movie from that director would be 'The Man from UNCLE' (2015), which is among my favorites in general. even outside of UNCLE... next in line for me would be pretty much The Gentlemen (2019)/Wrath of Man (2021) etc. p.s. I know Statham basically acts the same in general, but that's what he does. if he acted any differently, it would seem weird since everyone is used to Statham being Statham with his usual accent. so I liked Statham and Grant in the movie the most even though others had their bits and pieces that were decent enough to.

Steven P. Administrators Posted June 19, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 19, 2023 Avatar: The Way of the Water (2022) IMDB 7.6 | My rating 7.0 Well that's three hours of my life I will never get back 😛 It wasn't a bad film but it dragged on with many cliches that didn't really need to be told in CGI. It felt like I was watching a 3-hour-long gameplay trailer, and I discovered there will be 3 more films released over the next 8 years. I think the rating tells you all you need to know, truly great would have been 8 or more on IMDB but it falls short of it. Society (1989) IMDB 6.5 | My rating 5.0 I normally like these sort of films, but it seemed to fall apart in the third act, and then I read on the trivia section how the director changed major parts of the film during and even after filming which made sense to me. I think its rating is absolutely due to the cult following it gained. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1427763-what-was-the-last-movie-you-watched-2023-edition/page/2/#findComment-598829708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the sequel and am glad they did it tbh. It gives you some added character development which is good to see, and the action set pieces are even better. I want to see where they can take it next.

I've never seen any of them, but it's on my list to start from the first one and then I'll see if I continue. Barbarian (2022) IMDB rating 7.2 Quote "In town for a job interview, a young woman arrives at her Airbnb rental late at night only to find that the house has been mistakenly double-booked and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgment, she decides to stay the night anyway, but soon discovers that there is much more to be afraid of in the house than the other house guest." It was a really good film, aside from the obvious politically correct messaging undertones, I still feel it was handled well considering the film was written off the entire premise which is also part of the plot description.

The problem was, after the brilliantly done 22 minute "one shot" at the start, it then became just another cat and mouse film. I enjoyed the first one more if I'm honest. But that first sequence was phenomenal and makes it worth a few rewatches... Barbarian was also pretty good, just ......odd. But, the horror genre needs switching up, so you gotta come up with something different...

Steven P. Administrators Posted June 26, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2023 Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) IMDB rating 6.2 Quote When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game turns deadly in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong. Do Gen Z really talk that way to each other like in the film? It must get tiring having to remember all the ailments that can "trigger" a person. Anyway the film was more fun than I anticipated and there was a fun twist. It was a shame there wasn't one likeable character though, they were all awful. I guess "Emma" was my favorite. Largely forgettable though. My rating: 6.0 (just above average).

Nick H. Supervisor Posted June 28, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted June 28, 2023 I watched Extraction 2 last night. Phew, it was exhausting! The film is basically two action sets separated by about 5 minutes of peace in the middle. And those action sets do not let up at all. It's completely over the top and absolute nonsense if you take a moment to think about it, but it's fun. I've seen some reviews saying that it is better than the first, but I don't really remember anything about the first so I can't really compare. 6/10.
