Dido that. I might give Infinity War a low 8/10.

Agreed, the massive-character fights were too long, more than that, some fights weren't even all that interestingly choreographed (like some of the Wakanda individual characters and the larger tribal fights), which are usually a strong point for Avengers' films. If they weren't going to make a fight unique, just show a quick three seconds and move on to something else. The film was over 2 hours, it's not like they needed to pad it.

I appreciated the serious nature of the story and the main villain, Thanos. So I enjoyed the story plot of Thanos trying to acquire all the Infinity Stones facilitating all the character interactions, which was usually fairly funny.

The forum is dying. I thought it was dead when it went down a few times this year for a while. But it came back. Still I only check in every Wednesday and there isn't much activity. Those popular topics and people with massive numbers of posts don't show up anymore. I guess they found Facebook sections or groups. I don't know. I'm not a member of Facebook.

When I joined up the forum was active but not as active as it was originally according to many. Still I joined up when there were contests and the forum was fairly active.

I barely post reviews anymore here because there is no discussion. Plus many with just lists and no comments. Some post normal movies as well which I still think is odd for a horror movie forum.

hand-held camera horror movies

I hate watching those hand-held camera movies. They give me a headache. If I realize that the movie I am watching is one of those, I think "Go buy a tripod, will you?"

My friend Roman says that his teenage son could make a better movie than The Blair Witch.

While technically you did mention The Blair Witch, posts like these would best be in " Random Thoughts". This thread is really more for the last contemporary movie you saw and maybe a little blurb on what you thought of it.

Looking forward to seeing this. I grew up in the "Dutch" Reformed church, but the pastors didn't wear collars, just suits; maybe a regional thing.

Enter the Wild (2018)

5/10

Just a bunch of idiots whose characters keep changing nonsensically with a story that goes nowhere.

Ocean's 8 (2018)

Poorly paced and edited, no real interesting characters, boring heist. Not a fan. My wife liked it though.
6/10

Ghost Stories (2017)

Kept my interest and was well made, but ultimately I was expecting more.
7/10
