Anon missed the bit where every single male in the film is evil and actively trying to oppress or kill her. Even her brother. Of course they ALL get their just desserts.

"RBShorty Watched it yesterday, she didn't really seem like a Mary Sue, she gets bested early in the film and they set up she just observant and learns quick. I get wound up by a a lot of movies anti male narrative too but Prey seemed fine. Besides, she'd be a Mary Sioux get it right"

"She-Hulk and Prey, fuck me I wouldn't watch garbage like that if I was paid too. WTF has happened to the film industry."

"'According to The Hollywood Reporter, House of the Dragon is primarily the story of Rhaenyra, played in adulthood by Emma D'Arcy, and Olivia Cooke's Alicent ""navigating paths to power in a male-dominated world, being raised by fathers who don't have a clue how to raise them,' I can't wait..."

"I saw that yesterday. It's beyond bad. Uber woke anti man bollocks. What the fuck has happened to the mcu. I fucking loved it a couple of years back, now it's gone off a cliff"

"She-Hulk This goes beyond 'woke' to pure man-hating. I have no idea who Disney thinks it's target audience is, but telling at least 50% of them that they are all incompetent, bigoted, rapist inferiors (aka 'the patriarchy - oh, yes) is probably not the best way to get them on board. Also, apparently, Captain America is a virgin and a wimp, Iron Man is a useless drunk, Bruce Banner sucks, Hulk sucks and has always sucked, and She-Hulk is better than him at literally everything. Plus 'girl-power'. Yay!"

It’s funny how everyone pulls the Ripley/Connor card out their arse when the subject of woke in Hollywood comes up. Two characters that are pretty much admired by everyone in their first couple of outings. Then are slowly watered down and pissed on when the studio starts having big ideas. Now you get a conveyor belt of Mary Sue’s. In which nobody is interested in at best. And out running get loathed at worse. And the studios are losing money hand over fist. Even Cameron has been reduced to writing about 10 foot Smurf’s. Because he probably can’t be arsed to explain himself every 30 seconds why this character ain’t got this type plumbing. Or is that type of colour. It’s hell in a handcart whichever direction you go in.

Mr Anon No. I see your need to virtue-signal is so strong it outweighs the need to actually know what you are talking about by watching the film. Lazy twat.

"Haven't seen Prey but is it ""woke as fuck"" because it has a woman as the protagonist, would you say the same about aliens or Terminator 2 if so?"

"Went to watch Elvis last night, thoroughly enjoyed it! Austin Butler did a great job as Elvis, particularly the Vegas years, you would have thought it was him. Tom Hanks was his usual brilliant self as Col Tom Parker."

Saw prey last week. OK at best.

"I watched Prey yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was woke as fuck. I wonder if the woke makers of the film realised that in no small part my enjoyment was due to a beautiful and sexy young woman running around on the screen. They probably did, which makes me normal and them a bunch of hypocrites."

Saw Day Shift with Jamie Foxx on Netflix and that was an enjoyable enough romp albeit ot quite on the same level to John Carpenters Vampires and of course the magnificent Salem's Lot.

Calm down Barry Norman

New Ron Howard film ...13 lives... very good... telling the story of the rescue of the Thai football team submerged in the caves. Still one of the most remarkable rescue missions ever..

Surprised the shit out of me.... I think it's something about girls with axes.... i was the same with Lizzie Borden....

"Watched Prey last night, very good."

"I agree, Sold0. Watched it over the weekend, and it's definitely one of the better Predator movies they've made."

https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/prey/ Great fun on a Friday night... thoroughly enjoyed it... and loads of Frenchies get chewed up... great fun.

"Finally went to see Jurassic World : Dominion with my son. Not half as terrible as critics etc have made out, it’s certainly better than the second part of fallen kingdom. But a disappointing lack of any memorable deaths at all and a real waste of some good ideas and characters too. Felt strangely rushed. Always hard to make the idea of ‘dinosaurs now live in the real world’ really work, and chucking in a storyline about engineered locusts seemed a bit unnecessary"

"We watched ""The Grey Man"" last night so very far-fetched but well worth it for the special effects."

Mark Rylance is superb in everything he does.

Yeah Grey Man was a good grin... highly entertaining couple of hours... not a Golf fan but loved the Phantom of the Open... Mark Rylance superb in it... what an amazing story that is

"The Grey Man- Indeed worth a watch, entertaining enough and leaves it open for another one. Has Billy Bob Thornton always looked like he is in his 60's!!"
