More than the 3 expected winners could "Oppenheimer" "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Babe" which two were still good movies "for 2023" but they were nothing extraordinary. (As much as I'm in love with Margo Robie, I lasted not even 1/2hr with Babe) Cheers George **Barbie I have just seen Barbie and whilst I understand it won't be everyone's cup of tea, I thought it was very well done for what it was. I also really enjoyed The Covenant, but not close to the same quality of film making as Oppenheimer or KOTFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - let's not mention Alien 4, then! Although there's a couple of scenes in that one that I think are great (especially the basketball scene). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Avatar The Way of Water high end technology very well done, but rubbish as a movie. Same with STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE.

Yet as a movie, I'm glad I got it on disk from the library - as I couldn't sit through it in one sitting. I was just bored by the thing. I might grab a DVD of it and try cutting it in chronological order and see if it works better for me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for movies, I can see where a movie is very well made/written/acted but not appeal to people. For me, I found Oppenheimer to be riveting and I absolutely loved it..but I know others that couldn't connect with it and that's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, wished there was an interval to grab something to eat. I thought as with KOTFM, they would have been better if they were 2.5hrs long.

I still haven't watched past the first test explosion. It was just so boring. After reading this thread I'll try to have another go tonight. Yes, The Covenant was great. I've already watched it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
