Agreed, especially the second half. Went to an very comfortable de lux screen showcase and had (their) popcorn and (our) ice cream and cider and had a great time!
Still has nothing on the originals - Film and TV really does appear to be going down the nostalgia route at the moment, was great seeing the original cast back involved... Nice that they've not gone down the fake dinosaur / monster act with this film, compared with the other two sequels.

They used real dinosaurs?!!?!
Yeah they hired some recent Charlton Managers... BOOM BOOM!!

Yeah it wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either. The dinosaur scenes were good but way too many boring human characters honestly.
Jurassic World Dominion is fucking awful. I nearly walked out several times out of sheer boredom, and honestly I don't know why I didn't. I wish I had.
It is the pinnacle of cynical Hollywood filmmaking. It's a nonsense script with bugger all to say. A slapdash plot. No subtext or character development. It has nothing to offer. No sense of tone. There's no dread. No peril. There is barely any reason for the plot to happen. It's fucking awful. The exposition sequences are cringe-inducingly bad. The action sequences are dull (they don't have the balls to kill anyone off, so every single time a character is in danger they manage to outrun a keystone cops dinosaur. Every. Single. Time). Also the effects are ropey as fuck at times.
It's just yet another nostalgia trip where plot beats and actors from a movie made 30 years ago are dredged up so you can say "oh hey that's from that other movie!". The Force Awakens has a LOT to answer for in regards to what it has done to Hollywood.
It's fucking awful and I hope it flops and they never touch the franchise again. Fuck it made me angry. Fucking awful. Fuck off.
P.S. Top Gun Maverick is fucking great. Shows that nostalgia trips can be fun if handled correctly. It's just very rare for that to happen. Fortunately TGM has more in common with Trainspotting 2 than The Force Awakens.
Anyone seen The Quiet Girl? Amazing film. Beautiful. Poignant. Other views?
Very good - especially as it was a first film from this director. Understated, unsettling and moving, with an excellent performance from the young lead.

I had been actually looking forward to this one until I read a lot of negative reviews on Chinese social media and gave up. Seems I made the right decision!
Top Gun Maverick unfortunately won't be released here for *cough* reasons. What a shame!

One thing the film did confirm after thinking she was having an off day in Altered Carbon is that Dichen Lachman is a horrendously bad actress.
Anyone else seen Everything Everywhere All at Once? I thought it was a great trip, was confused at the start but once the story gets going it’s a rollercoaster with good humour and some fantastic action sequences. Surprisingly touching for such a silly film as well. Really enjoyed it.

Maybe the main reference to the original is that it's one big pile of shit?

Yeah, it's very fun with a lot of stuff you haven't seen before, but a bit long for my taste. I think it would have been my fav of the year so far if it was a tight 90.

Considering some of the stinkers he's recently been in, it's actually a relatively decent and funny film.
Still has nothing on the originals - Film and TV really does appear to be going down the nostalgia route at the moment, was great seeing the original cast back involved... Nice that they've not gone down the fake dinosaur / monster act with this film, compared with the other two sequels.
Apparently its becasue this isnt a "Toy Story" film as such. This is about the character, Buzz Lightyear, that the toy (Tim Allen) is made of.
Buzz Lightyear toy - Tim Allen
Buzz lightyear (in uninverse cartoon character) - Chris Evans
Plus Chris Evans probably still has a few years left to serve in Disney contract prison

There's a quite interesting interview with the director on The Garden Cinema website - https://thegardencinemafilmtalk.podbean.com/e/film-talk-with-colm-bairead/
Top Gun Maverick unfortunately won't be released here for *cough* reasons. What a shame!
Enjoyable watch but felt it lacked a bit of depth. Wasn't convinced by Tom Hanks.
