I watched Matrix Resurrections the other day; am I the only one to feel underwhelmed by it?

Awesome!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just seen Thor Love and Thunder liked it a lot especially the G&R soundtrack some good fight scenes storyline Ok, G&R will I think get some new fans among the younger crowd, plus there is going to be a sequel seen the end credits.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Watched The Grey Man, it was quite good lots of action, fight scenes etc, kept me entertained for the length of the film.

Yesterday I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Quite the surprise if you know anything at the Charles Manson story. I enjoyed it although not my favourite Tarantino film.

Tonight I watched the 2021 version of Dune. I found it a little slow, but really enjoyed the world-building. Looking forward to Part Two next year.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I liked Dune as well slow start build up but I think that was to tell the back story, part two will be a little faster I think.

It's been many years since I read the book but from memory, it looks like they pretty much stuck to it quite closely. That was quite a slow burn, as well, with the action picking up in the sequels. Still enjoyed it though.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

The Sandman, absolutely brilliant introduction and the first episode is good, between Neil and Netflix they have absolutely nailed it.

 

[Tonyblack]

Cool! I haven't read The Sandman, but I understand it's one of Neil's most popular books.

I finally got around to watching "Taken" with Liam Neeson. It was pretty good.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Finished the the series it was good, and there is going to be another, I've watched the trailer.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just finished watching the last few episodes of series 3 The Umbrella Factory slightly strange ending, but one of the most enjoyable series.

I'm quite getting into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds set in the time a few years before Kirk and the original series, with Capt. Christopher Pike at the helm. It definitely has more of an original Star Trek feel to it than Discovery, imo.

Cool! I haven't read The Sandman, but I understand it's one of Neil's most popular books.

The comics are brilliant (though VERY dark and often horrific: no way in hell the series got anything less than an MA15 rating), and given the reviews for the TV show, I'm cautiously optimistic. I just want it to come out on DVD...

 

[Quatermass]

Just to let you know how much I love those comics: I actually bought the Absolute Editions of ALL of them. And I wouldn't do that for any comic. If there's ever a comic series that is most definitely literature, it's The Sandman.

That is on my list!

Just watched last night the extra Sandman episodes, I need to try try Paramount to watch them as they are no longer showing on Netflix.

Since I use Amazon Prime mainly for the fast and free delivery options, it also includes Prime Video in the subscription. Anyway, I finally got around to putting it on the main TV rather than just my computer which is just as well as I couldn't get to sleep last night and ended up binge-watching 'Reacher'. I very much enjoyed it (I definitely found it preferable to the Tom Cruise films) and am now looking forward to a second series.
