Why the f**k did you bother watching it?

nb if you want to amuse yourself imagine all the scenes with Kevin Costner as being done in faux Monty Python northern.

I was trying to find something me and Mrs Will Cam could watch together given our opposing taste in films. I managed 30 minutes, she fell asleep after 20 and she will sit through any old shit.

I think I have a real aversion to action films that are driven by supposed action (CGI, ridiculous fast editing, queasy- cam) instead of, forgive me - old fashioned notion, a story.

Kevin Costner just looked embarrassed, and so he should be.

Never liked him - egotistical twat.

The FX over story telling is boring and none of the recent Supes films have even slightly got, the 4 colour story telling feel.

It's not meant to look realistic.

Not yet seen but why have they done a new Fantastic 4? They had the origin in the first film and this time brother and sister Sue and Johnny are different colours although there is an explanation.

My expectations were quite low when I went to see Mission Impossible 'Rogue Nation', but I hadn't set them low enough for what proved to be a rather dull instalment of an increasingly dreary franchise. The first 5 minutes were good, but after that there were just too many scenes where the characters were either telling us the plot, or playing around with their computers. As for the action sequences, they're clearly going to be a bit tedious when you know that the hero/s are going to miraculously escape unharmed, so the only pleasure is in how ingeniously they are constructed, and too often they were hopelessly derivative. In fact, the film's real achievement is that it took 'formulaic' to a new level.

The best bits involved Simon Pegg, and it's a testament to his skills that he seems to be the 'go to' guy for this sort of role.

Despite my previous protestations with regard to action films, I took Mrs Will Cam to see this the other day and found that I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Man of Steel.

CGI, CGI, CGI, CGI, cliche, cliche cliche, CGI, CGI, CGI,CGI, cliche, cliche cliche, CGI, CGI, CGI,CGI, etc. etc. etc.

Why the f**k did they bother remaking this?

It was all right. Nothing special, but DC's Superman has always been a bit dull. Then again, all these Comic book movies are starting to drag. I wish the Marvel Industrial Complex would f**k off.

I know something similar from German TV, 'Augsburger Puppenkiste', a show with marionettes:
