Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Contraversial opinion but Die Hard with a vengeance is a more entertaining film than the original (it’s not BETTER but it’s a shitload of fun).

2 I always found to be pretty poor by comparison

Die Hard is to Raiders of the Lost Ark
As Die Hard 2 is to Temple of Doom
As Die Hard With a Vengeance is to The Last Crusade

10 Cloverfield Lane - was expecting it to be a bit shit but surprisingly good and tense. Goodman and Winsread very good - 7.5/10

Could be. I had always thought Under Siege

Google the phrase ‘dolled up instalments’. It’s basically where they take a pre-existing script, change the name of the film and main character and make it part of a series. I don’t remember the exact order but I think Die Hard 2 was supposed to be Speed 2 (makes more sense), Speed 2 was supposed to be Under Siege 2 (fast moving train), plus more. Whoever gets in first sometimes gets the best script.

As Die Hard With a Vengeance is to The Last Crusade

Never thought about them like that, but that comparison is spot on, the third movie is my favourite from both trilogies.

Another one that follows a similar trend is BTTF

Third BTTF easily the weakest.

The Fugitive

Took a break from all the 2024 new releases and rewatched this.

It’s school holidays so kids films continue to dominate my viewing. Sonic the Hedgehog 3, despite never having seen the first two. Looks good, high budget, story is pretty cliche, end of the world stuff, slightly amusing at times but not funny enough for adults. 5/10 but the kids loved it.
