But that was reasonably watchable, this new one should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, for just existing

I'm not going to bother with The (Pinch of) Salt Path

Only the Brave.
Josh Brolin is a senior firefighter sporting a magnificent horseshoe moustache.
It's the true story of a wildfire firefighting squad that got wiped out all bar one man.
Jeff Bridges plays the fire chief and an ensemble cast pops up throughout.
At times as corny as it is sobering, but reasonably watchable.
6.75/10.

The short answer is George Lucas insisted on lots of political dialogue, a drawn out love story and not enough space wizards with laser swords.
Also Ep 2 (Clone Wars) finishes strongly with a great big battle, but it's so slow to get there.
Also I don't like sand
But the acting is so awful and the political dialogue so vacuous that the whole thing is risible.

The Magnificent Seven (2016 film)
Generally I don't like re-makes/re-boots as there are so many good books why not try something new and interesting. There are exceptions eg Dune where the story is so complex that it allows for many very different interpretations and focus on different aspects so different films are totally different films.
But the 2016 Magnificent Seven is pretty much identical story just modern production. Lot of well known actors.
I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. I won't be re-watching, won't be recommending it to others but OK for an evening when you've got to the end of a book and not ready to start next.

The new dinosaur movie. Another cracking yarn. Lots of "borrowed" stuff even from Jaws!

Black Mass.
Not sure what all the fuss was about. Johnny Depp was very menacing as Whitey Bulger, but the whole tone and style made it a kind of Donnie Brasco mk2.
Not bad, but not outstanding either.
6/10.

Bullet Train.
Daft as, but not (quite) as terrible as BBC would have you believe:

I watched this a few weeks back and thought it was good, considering it's a film mostly based on a train, you'd think it would be a little limited, but surprisingly not. Worth a watch.
