The critical acclaim is nonsense. I went with 4 people yesterday and we all thought it was mediocre. It starts all right but the third act is absolute garbage and 4 of us were nodding off! Gal Gadot and Chris Pine are fine, but the film is overlong, the CGI really bad, and the main villain is embarrassing. If DC start doing their films like this I'll be giving them a miss like I do with most Marvel films nowadays.

very enjoyable Shaw brothers King Kong rip off, an expedition is send to India to recover a giant ape as well as Peaking man they discover a female Tarzan called Samantha who was raised by the big monkey man, both are transported to japan were Utam escapes and goes on a destructive spree after Samantha is attack. queue hilariously tiger attack, Samantha's pet leopard getting a hard on while she strokes and dances with him and lots of monkey business. far superior to the Hollywood film the year before. 8/10


next up either creepers cut off Phenomena or Pieces.

Very smart and funny Indie comedy which breaks out into gloriously violent, prolonged fists fights every now and again as Sandra Oh and Anne Heche knock the living shit out of each other. Recommended.
Now on UK Netflix.

Phenomena cut to ribbons by nearly 30 minutes, which makes it all a bit of a disjointed mess. The basic story is there but it comes of more as a lot of random pieces because of the cuts. Mind its actually better than his work of late but that's not saying much. Its worth a watch just to see the differences but I can't see myself going back too it. 5/10

Well, I for one really enjoyed this. I never had a problem with any of the film.
It's great to WW finally in her own film. No guest appearances or tag on scenes here. The action looked good and some scenes were straight out of the comics. The look of the Amazons was also spot on. With a very good music score alongside I am well pleased.
