Caught the 10am showing of The Last Jedi here on the continent. Explodes into life, sags in the middle a bit but there's a grand finale. I enjoyed it but they could've given Luke a bit more to do, though Hamill is terrific. There's plenty of laughs, a few shocks I didn't see coming and a nice little cameo that had the place cheering. 8.5/10 for me.

Force awakens got nicknamed a familiar hope this should be called Return of the empire as it takes the good parts of both Empire (ending battle taking place on a white salt landscape with walkers) and return of the Jedi the throne room scene and build up were exactly the same. Throw in Luke being Rey's Yoda during skellig scenes again Empire and add in some cringe worthy puns and jokes. To sum up this is the biggest disappointment of the entire franchise I'd actually rate attack of the clones ahead of it 1/10 I'm being generous with 1 visually it was good but overall terrible Probably being over critical and a second viewing would change my mind

I watch Brawl on Cellblock 99 over the weekend with Vince Vaughn. The scenes at the end were a tough watch, f**king horrendous violence Decent enough film. Production value on it wasn't great. 3/5

Seen Star Wars on Friday Night, it wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. Too many attempts for laughs I think, will need a second viewing.

I thought it was a complete mess. Dialogue, story, direction. At no point did it pull me in and care for it and that's because the film doesn't allow you to. It was just a series of things happening. A rehashing of many themes and scenes from 'Empire' also. I just didn't (couldn't) care for it and then some bits just frankly annoyed the bollocks out of me. I came way feeling that it was about half an hour too long and then I got angry when I realised that that half hour was largely made up of irrelevant bollocks. Like who the f**k wants to see a scene with Luke milking some sea cow yoke on the rocks? And those flappy birds and the nurses on Skellig Michael?? Nah, this one's getting filed away behind the dusty door in my psyche marked 'The Prequels'.
