It sounds great, and Judy Dench is always worth watching, so I will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.SAVORY100 said:Victoria & Abdul
no idea why I took so long to watch this one... especially as it was filmed in (large) part at Osborne House; an English Heritage (my employer) property... anyway, I digress.
Simply a brilliant film!
Well filmed, outstanding writing, acting that puts most to shame in the current era (Dench, Izzard and Fazal are amazing) the supporting actors are all excellent too... really is no weakness to any performances at all. There is history, humour, sadness and unfortunately real horror behind this interpretation of this 'true story' too.

Decided to have a reset last night and watch a movie I knew I loved. Simply some of the best photography in any film ever for me... Tony Scott in the hot seat pulled together a whole new appreciation for dogfighting in 'modern' planes with the way he shot this.
Despite the massive plot issue when they've won one real life dogfight against the old enemy of mother Russia and Maverick is immeadiately (as one of the best in the entire USAF) given the option of retirement to become a teacher! It's a bloody good film.
My 14 year old daughter sat and watched it with me and loved it too, so it's not just sentimental eyes either...

i wondered out of interest if the effects looked dated after nearly 20 years....
to my suprise it still looks awesome which is a testament to the film makers
solid 8/10 still

Actually saw thi on opening day, but neglected to update the thread.
It's exactly what you would expect... trashy, silly, slightly above average special effects and the obligatory lady pleaser of having the lead take his top off a few times.
That said, I actually really enjoyed it, said to myself in my head 'they're gonna need a bigger boat' and even jumped at ONE bit too. If you want something with a flawless plot, don't watch this (or actually any film of recent release), if you want the nostalgia of Jaws, don't watch this, if you can for 2 hours not take the world too seriously and let the guns and harpoons and massively oversized prehistoric Megaladon CGI wash over you, you'll probably have a good time too.
