Starring Anthony Hopkins, this is about the British business man Nicholas Winton who helped save 669 Jewish children from the Nazi death machine that was sweeping through the Czech Republic back in 1938. It's estimated that of the 7000 or so Jewish children in that country that were put into captivity only about 200 survived. The film is largely a character portrait and a good one at that. 9/10

That's fair enough, and these preferences can be and are very personal things at times. The "jumping around" was one of the reasons I have watched "Everything..." more than once, something I am happy to do because each time I watch it again I pick up something I missed on previous viewings.

I actually like movies that challenge me in this regard.

As for "Killers Of The Flower Moon", I can't really comment because I haven't seen it, although it has become something of a tradition to nominate Martin Scorsese for best director whenever he releases a film these days.

Dreadful...absolutely dreadful. The writing was obviously meant for (or perhaps provided by) a 12 year old. The jokes are lame or obvious. The revenge plot has been done to death and from what I saw, they just kept stealing scenes from other movies and adapting them for this one. Including, but not limited to, the jungle chase scene (Indiana Jones), Too many to mention Lord Of the Rings scenes (The One Tower, The Forged Ring, The Gates of Mordor).

DC has been in a death spiral for far too long, and this is its epitaph. i have little hope that even James Gunn can save or revive this failed brand. If, and only if, they abandon the juvenile characters and writing will they even stand a chance.

There are better ways to spend 2 hrs.

After getting is so right with "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" last year, my fear is that this movie will win a bunch of awards just to show how cerebral the Academy is.

Even now as I think about it, I might have been slightly generous in my rating.

The whole thing seemed a little unfocused to me and hopped all over the place for no apparent reason, sometimes in colour and some times in black and white.

The whole story was covered with much more clarity in the documentary included with the special features on the DVD/ Bluray.

5/10

Classic.

Way better than I expected, this is a proper hard core violent Western. Loved the authentic feel. 8/10

that's a real shame. Jason Mamoa's career is in danger of coming off the rails. So good in GOT and See as well as the first Aquaman film which I enjoyed.
