Film Reviews by Pork Chop Express

Yeah,

way to go .. just put the nails in the coffin as well. Not impressed. Glad I didn't fork out in the cinema for this as we were tempted to go as we like Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine.

Action wasn't too bad. But it is extremely hard looking at a haggard Logan and Professor X and you know what - I don't like forking out or using my time to look at actors trash the characters that they've created on screen as they've run their course playing them.

This episode in the pantheon wasn't really needed. They seem to be trying to shift between younger and older x-men actors all the time anyway and its all rather confusing. If it was me now I would put the whole thing on ice and concentrate on something else. Hasn't professor X died already? Why is he alive again. I don't get it. I saw him vapourised in the 3rd X-men film years and years ago... What is going on...? And why has Logan got the Adamantium back in his body after The Wolverine? Who knows...?

If you don't agree watch the first X-men film from Bryan Singer again and compare to Logan and you will see what I am getting at... It's like watching Michael Jackson lithely moonwalk around the stage in the 80's and then compare him to the impish looking vapid fellow who was popping pills just to enable him to move around without constant agony back in 2007... Who wants to watch that? As I said, this wasn't needed.

Sorry to have to say I feel asleep numerous (12+ times) watching this on 3 different occasions. I guess I wanted to like it. But I just couldn't. Dull, dull, dullski. I played the game. It's okay, but a bit dull also - I didn't like the animus feature on the game either. The best aspect was evading people so that you could escape and go back to the shadows again which to be fair was the one thing the film got right. Also indiscriminately killing anyone you like is always amusing to some degree (sorry!)

It has been badged as an action film but you can only watch so many hand-to hand fights and impalings all with almost non-existent blood letting before it all gets a bit tiresome and really there is not much story to speak of.

Waste of decent acting talent as there is no doubt that Fassbender in particular is an amazing actor re: Eden Lake and recent Alien franchise.

I can't endorse the film. If you do see it, you will never watch it again. And for a run time of 105 mins you could do something better with your time...

Unusual mix of first episodes to Season 7.

The first episode is generally unsettling and of course the audience will be waiting to see who Negan is going to club about the head with "Lucille" which gradually gets introduced throughout the episode. The resultant deaths are pretty graphic and unfortunately a general air of hopelessness will pervade this particularly bleak, gritty and intense episode.

The 2nd from memory is extremely quirky. You will have to suspend disbelief along with Carol as she meets her new "captors". There is a fair bit of humour in this one but Carol is extremely watchable as a character and perhaps it could be said that the audience needed a bit of reprieve from the 1st episode's intensity.

The 3rd episode helps us learn a bit more about The Saviours - Negan's gang. As if we didn't know already we start to understand just how nuts Negan really is and how unlikely it will be for Rick's group to deal with him long term. This episode focuses on Daryl and we see just how steely his resolve is to follow his code of honour.

In all pretty good. As in previous series the Season has to start by pulling back together the story threads left behind from disbanding the characters - i.e. the prison and Terminus. I would give this disc 7/10 rating.

Surpringly good follow up to the original.

Still some gross out comedy moments. But it also has grown up quite a bit. It certainly showcases the comedic acting talents of Zac Efron and it feels more grown up than the original in many ways. Zac manages to steal the limelight in most scenes he appears. The scene where Zac uses a spit roast kebab as a replacement for baby oil as his former neighbours rub the meat joint over his body in an effort to prep himself for an exotic dance for a crowd of admiring women (and men!) is a priceless scene and there are many others.

Fans of the original shouldnt be disappointed.
