Slayer: The Repentless Killogy (2019)
50/50
Okay, so any long form music video that purports to be a film is gonna be a bit naff; the acting is always going to be mediocre at best and there effects are likely to be 'special'.
That said, going into this movie with that knowledge is your best bet.
Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it feels overlong at times, especially when people are acting, but I've seen enough terrible horror and action movies to just enjoy the ride.
The main criticism is the God awful sound.
The concert part of the movie is infinitely better. I came mainly for that bit anyway. The sound is better, not brilliant, but definitely better.
As contrast, I saw Metallica S&M2 a few weeks earlier. Given they are in the same age bracket Slayer have aged so much better. Tom Araya's voice is still great, Kerry King and Gary Holt can shred and Paul Bostaph is an incredibly watchable drummer.
I'd buy this but i doubt I'd watch the anything other than the concert part again.
The Predator (2018)
Attack of the 1 Star Warriors
I am loving the indignant rage from the 'life-long' Predator fans who are proclaiming the franchise dead.
Isn't it the absolute peak of arrogance though, to claim anyone who likes a film you don't is a paid plant. Grow up.
The film is cheesy, there's some bad CGI and some of the acting isn't the best but, you know what, who cares. This is big dumb fun.
'This isn't a Predator movie!' - it is fella, the clue's in the title.
