Pretty much as good as a sequel to Borat could be. They were extremely limited in what they could do. Some incredible one liners, and the ending is well done.
However, it feels very cobbled together, like they didn't have a lot of material (which makes sense, I guess).
So yeah, it's hamstrung from the get go. I liked it.
Loved how realistically it dealt with the value of human life and the very thin line between life and death.
It's almost a concept film in the sense that the characters are basically non-existent. I think it serves the purpose of the film well, to the viewer war would be a huge bunch of anonymous people dying.
First half was an awesome and funny quirky comedy, then there's a weird tonal shift it the film peters out towards the end. Shame, but I liked it on the whole.
Surprisingly good, very nice to have a Star Wars film made in a more "on the ground" approach. The story of the millions of the nameless foot soldiers who died in the original saga.
Managed to retain the clever political subplots that were my favourite part of the entire series, but still not as good as 1 or 2. Also proves the last film was entirely redundant and a cash grab.
An important film, in the context of what happened surrounding it. Also a very bad film. Although if you are a fan of dick and poo humour you will be entertained.

It's definitely for kids. But also shoddily put together, the script is not good. Insanely predictable.Movie comment on Cars 3

I almost dislike this one the most because the platform it sets gives it the potential to be amazing.But it's just OK.

This film is brilliant. Great ending too, which seems to be the toughest aspect for films of this era.Movie comment on Dunkirk

A passable movie ruined by its insistence to pound every joke into the ground to make absolutely sure you get it.To the point where it actually isn't very funny.

This had no right to be as good or as impactful as it should be. So great.Movie comment on Rogue One

Pretty disappointing considering the reviews. If this is the best zombie film in years in weep for the zombie genre.2/5

The food bank scene truly harrowed me.Very good film that will anger you, and maybe make your mind a little bit more political/activist oriented.

Loved it. Ambiguous doesn't automatically mean bad.Movie comment on Elle

Quite disappointing. An average thriller with not much of a message to send. It also has the most absurd plot ever.Movie comment on 7 Women

I honestly thought Sobinski was the villain of the film at first because of how creepy he was.Very funny film overall! 8/10

This is the best film I've seen all year, and definitely one of the best I've seen this decade. Stunning essay on identity.Movie comment on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

I don't understand the opening scene.Spent the whole movie waiting for that point to make sense.

Quite funny. The second half is way better than the first. Not especially memorable though. You should laugh enough.3/5

A sweet and ultimately satisfying post-war drama, it avoids the clichés that plague some war films to deliver a solid experience.See full review at:

Amazing how when a decent Indian movie finally comes along, it hardly passes 8.0, yet all the other rubbish we are subjected to easily reaches 8.5Showing items 1 – 25 of 26
