    Love n Thunder. Id rate Ragnok above this one. Overall good movie if you love Ragnok before it. Like Madness theres a bit of a loose feeling towards the structure of the movie. The chemistry between Thor and Jane was good. Surprised Zeus had his accent, the character was a bit too comical for being the head god of gods. Wonder if any gods dissappeared in the snap? Were they angry at Thanos for doing what he did? 🤔 questions questions

    Recently watched "Children of Man", I think It is a truly fantastic film, Great story, strong characters, and excellent performances. The long shots are beautifully intense and intimate.
    I have always been a fan of Alfonso Curon, and when I found out he was making this movie, I expected good things.

    One would assume that Gods would be above the power of the snap? Maybe? Reagrdless, the Avengers unsnapped, so any gods that might have been snapped would've been back.

    Zeus struck me as a very comedic interpretation, Ole Russel Crowe doing a very Con the Fruiterer accent there, which while I personally found somewhat amusing could put others off. What I did like was that Zeus is generally not very nice chap and that came across here rather well. As soon as I heard them talk about Zeus, I immediately though "Is Hercules going to show up as well?" And he did.

    Ragnarok was definitely a better movie. Love & Thunder while not terrible, would've benefitted from being a bit more focused in my humble opinion. It seemed to do a fair bit of things that were funny for no particulars reason. Or just because they did it in that other Thor movie.

    The goats are good. I didnt want to say Con the fruiterer but yes any aussie would be reminded of him, I was eluding to him in my comments about the comical aspect

    Watched Minions, The Rise of Gru.

    Cute (of course) and well worth a look when you have time. Does it do anything new and amazing? No. Is it a watchable movie? Yes. If you have some spare time and want a bit of relaxing, easy entertainment, it's worth it.

    I Watched "Everything Everywhere all at once" and highly recommend it! It has great action, good jokes, a nice story and seems to work exceptionally well within its limitations.
    Most surprising movie I've seen this year, and dare I say it.... best movie of the year...?

    Also a grown up Short Round from the Indiana Jones movies.

    Admittedly I've been on a fairly standard diet of super hero rubbish and big name movies lately.

    but yes, do yourself a favour and watch it.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - for me, truly, just an amazing movie! Namor is fav of mine and I'm happy Aquaman came out first (i'm a fan of the movie) as it forced MS to come up with something different and base there version on Mesoamerican history which I feel worked well.

    It's an emotional roller coaster, but not all despair. It looked different from other entries in Phase 4 too, better, the visuals were amazing
