Pretty random comparison! Though I haven't seen Vendetta myself, I watched one of them and I wasn't all that impressed.

Me neither. =/

The games appeal much more to me, that's for sure.

Finished reading your OP, and nothing really to add except I also want to see that Valerion movie. Though I'm cautious about that movie as well. Not because of reviews, but just trailers. The trailers look great and all, except the two main stars.

Cara Deleveign I've seen in two movies. Suicide Squad and Paper Towns. In both she sucked. She has no chemistry, and seemingly no acting skills from what I can see. In the trailers she looks the same. Just blank faced no emotion. I feel like I've seen the guy before, but can't place him, but he seems to have the exact same fact and attitude as her.

So I'm thinking I will give zero shits about either main character in the movie. Makes me think it will be a Jupiter Ascending part 2.



This movie is about average everyday British citizens risking their lives for the greater good. Many non military people sacrificed their lives. I don't understand why this could be boring its a true story.

Not gonna judge till I see the movie, but not surprised at its reviews.

Critics absolutely adore and love Christopher Nolan and Tom Hardy.
Anything they make or star in is praised beyond recognition. Hell as you said, Tom Hardy doesn't even have to speak and he is given an Oscar in their minds. Reminds me of that chick that is playing Miss Marvel. The internet went crazy like she is the greatest actress in teh entire world. Only thing I've seen her in was Skull Island and she did nothing in that movie to stand out from any other actress.

So color me cautiously skeptical on this movie being a 96% or whatever high 90% it probably holds. Beyond Nolan and Hardy, from day 1 the movie screamed Oscar bait to me, and I never enjoy them.

Critics love Nolan bc he makes good films, but he's had one or two missteps, and critics did not just blindly praise him for those films. For example, Interstellar. That movie had a lot of great things, but overall it was the weakest of any of his most recent films. Rotten tomato score was 71%, which is decent, but by no means great. 



I really don't get why some people believe their opinion is more worth than others'.

Of course its boring. You know exactly how its gonna end. Whats the point watching?



Hunting Season is done...

I completely agree with you. That movie was just meh at best.

The broken timeline was a very poorly done concept that just made things confusing.
I had zero feels for really any character. It was very much of a, "yeah don't care if anyone dies" type of viewing.
There was zero buildup to the point behind the actual story of Londoners going above and beyond to save their abandoned soldiers.

This move really just sucked from beginning to end. I have no clue why it was rated well. Completely overrated and not worth the $50 I spent to take my family to what I thought was going to be an interesting historically based movie with some form of moral thought provoking message.

You want a good WW based movie? Watch Hacksaw Ridge. That is how you build up a story, event and run it through your moral life teaching moment while defining the horrors of the individuals.
