Thought it was just me. Cant find anyone else having a bad word to say about it. Really hoping it's something I've missed. As I said I usually love QT films.

"Mad Dog, Your assessment is spot on. I too was dumbfounded by the reviews. And that Bruce Lee scene is absurd and is probably just a fantasy of Pitt or Tarantino."

I really liked once a upon a time in Hollywood. I just thought it was a great nod to the cinema of that period and for me the characters were interesting enough to keep my attention throughout. Also I loved the Bruce Lee fight scene!

I came close to giving up as it was just so dull. And I've only ever turned off 2 films ever (slipstream and sausage party). But thought I'd stick with it as it must be going somewhere and all the seemingly pointless.scenes must have been more important than first glance. Nope

I had to give up halfway through on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That is something I don’t normally do. I think “self-indulgent bollocks” is the same thing I wrote on here after watching it. Anyone who likes this film probably also likes La La Land.

Ad I said I usually like his films. The only other exception being kill bill 2. At various points you can almost hear him speaking the lines. Especially the bullshit about superman's identity.

"""self indulgent bollocks"" Reckon you could say that about all of Tarantino's films since Pulp Fiction. I wish that a) he only wrote additional dialogue and left the plot and characters to better writers and b) he let someone else edit his films, cutting out all the unnecessary shit."

The one with jack Whitehall or the other one

Just watched Bad Education. Based in a true story. Worth a watch.

"Yes. Hollywood. Not sure why I put america. That's a completely different film.. Acting was good, characters were generally ok. But nothing happens whatsoever."

Hollywood... ...oh and i thought it was great... especially Brad Pitts pitbull...

"Just watched ""once upon a time in america"". Normally love Tarantino films, even hateful 8 which has a load of detractors... But this was an absolute pile of shite. Had no point whatsoever, 2 hours and 4o mins of completely self indulgent bollocks where somehow despite the length, nothing actually happens apart from last 10 mins when the real life Polanski house murderers end up going to the wrong house and getting killed. Have I missed something? Why is it getting such great reviews? Seriously nothing happens. Actor and his stunt double mill about a bit, the actress sharon Tate dances for a bit and watches her own film, and the murder bit at the end? What the actual fuck????"

Ha Ha Ha !!!

:-) Play It Sold !!!

ted fenton 7:28 Fri May 1 Hey Ted you seen Casablanca yet?? Ol' Humphrey B' is the dogs bollocks in it...

Mad Dog 3:07 Tue May 5 Must confess I enjoyed The Force Awakens as it was a bit of a romp throwing in all the classic characters but the Trilogy in many ways has just being the classic films just rehashed with new characters. Hope they leave it to rest now.

"ted fenton 7:28 Fri May 1 Think you’re about 5 years to late to put that on a 2020 thread Tedders. We’re now into May, and I cannot think of a 2020 film that I like yet. Jojo Rabbit was great, but is a 2019 film"

"I finally got round to watching the ZZ Top documentary: That little 'ol band from Texas, and really enjoyed it. Long legged girls, fast cars and rock'n'roll... what's not to like? Amazingly they've been playing for 50 years and this film is a great tribute to them and their music. They may not be the prettiest guys around but they can certainly play a tune."

"Now it's on sky I've finally bothered to watch the last star wars film. Utter tosh. Expectations were low, and it STILL somehow disappointed me. Ending completely ripped off from avengers endgame."

"Watched ""Legend"" last night yet another Kray film thought Tom Hardy was very good playing both brothers. Some of the East End locations were a bit poor as in the ""Blind Beggars"" being tucked away in a side street. Enjoyed it though."

"May have a look at the fourth protocol, but I find the problem with old spy films is they are now a bit dated. Blame it on Rio was a cracking little film with Caine in. Harry brown is good."

"Manuel 6:46 Thu Apr 30 Thanks for that I've never seen it so will search Sky and see if it's o there. If you like The Black Windmill then both The Fourth Protocol, Caine again, and Fear is The Key are good movies."

"Zico - The Black Windmill is a great film, remember being blown away by it when I first watched it years back. Love Michael Caine, watch 'A Quiet American' if you can, based in Vietnam, one of his best films for sure."

"Sven Roeder 9:22 Wed Apr 29 Ha ha, yeah good point about the water tanks. Funny how films can date but still be enjoyable. Watched The Black Windmill with Michael Caine last night. I live a few miles from the windmill in question. What was funny though was how his characters wife had to sit in a library delving through massive scrap books for information whereas these days a quick swipe of a phone and Google would have given her the answer! Would have been a quick film now!"
