I saw the first film on my list for this year today, The Greatest Showman. It was entertaining enough, although a bit too saccharine and cringe-inducing in some places and some of the cast were not quite up to scratch. I rather liked whoever was playing the bearded lady, she was great, the rest of the cast were kind of eh. Whoever was playing ( Read more... )

I've heard mixed things, apparently the trailer is misleading and it's not quite as comedic as it looks.

Quite a lot of those I'd like to see too. I wonder how many I can persuade my Mom to babysit for ;)

Lots, I hope! You're providing her with grandbaby time, how can she refuse that?

Ok, hadn't heard of a lot of these, fingers crossed they come ot your local cinema and are worth seeing - I know I want to watch Avengers and Tomb Raider, still not seen the first Deadpool as yet (you're likely not surprised by that... :) ) I still want to read Ready Player One..

There's a website that lists all the films that are due to come out this year so I just went through it. There were a couple that I'd not heard of before. Tomb Raider looks exactly like the rebooted game so that should be good. And you must read Ready Player One, I think you'll love it.

I'll have to settle down and watch some trailers soon then.. Lara Croft in anyting is always good.

I'm really looking forward to the Deadpool sequel (have ever since the first film) and Tomb Raider. I don't really like seeing much superhero movies in theaters these days unless it is something I am really, really excited to see.

Tomb Raider looks very much like the rebooted game, I'm hoping that's a good thing! There's 6 superhero films this year so that's quite a lot. The only one I'm not really interested in is Black Panther because the character doesn't grab me. I'm not sure about Venom yet, it rather depends on how they do it. I'm not a huge fan of that character either but it's more in the Deadpool/Logan line than the MCU.
