*spurts tea from nose* There’s no way that Prince Ali is the iconic song everyone knows from Aladdin. Of course it’s a Whole New World! I’ve no idea why you’d think otherwise.

Really? If I think of the film I always think of Prince Ali and ‘Never Had A Friend Like Me.’ The other song is OK, but I think it’s a bit wishy washy.

Well, not everyone, as I don’t, but it seems most others here do. It just seems bland to me. I do love Robin Williams so much, though. I was thinking about him this morning, so I’m perhaps biased.

We went away for a few days in crap weather so I also saw Aladdin
I was super reluctant because I don't understand why in the world they are making all these live action versions of super animations so went into it extremely skeptical and thought it wasn't too bad because they left most of it reasonably close to the original. Hate Jasmin's new song, ugh. Never liked whole new world in the first place, prince ali, arabian nights and the thief song where they are being chased are the bestest
I thought all of the film lacked fun/snark and when we got home on tuesday we watched the animation on dvd

unfortunately for me the weather was tryly crappy so I was also forced to watch Detective pikachu, expected it to be super crap and it mostly was but not as poor as my expectations
and the secret life of pets which was also meh, but had funny bits in. The "story" made no sense.

She is entirely correct.

PROTIP - Watch with subtitles, I watch everything with subtitles and have done for years.

We do now as well - partly because both Ruth and Second Born seem to have some mild hearing issues and it's much better having subtitles than having either of them say "what did he just say" about 30 times through a film. There's also, to be fair, the modern mumble acting technique causing issues as well.

My parents used to have the Ceefax subtitles on for Rab C Nesbitt, but for other reasons, obviously. I always found the show perfectly understandable.

The other night as I was flicking through the channel guide I noticed John Wick 2 was on telly and had already been on for a while so I thought I'd watch what was left just to enjoy the shooty bang bang action, missing the beginning didn't really matter as I'd seen it before.

BUT! in a surprise twist it turns out I hadn't actually seen John Wick 2 after all, as I didn't have any recollection of the amazing scenes before me - who was the deaf chick with the sharp haircut? what was Morpheus doing on a rooftop with some pigeons? Luckily I was able to piece the plot together fairly quickly.

Out of fear I'd missed some important minor detail, later in the week i watched from the start on Netflix. Imagine the DOUBLE TWIST SURPRISE when I fully remembered the beginning bits where John takes back his beloved car and then proceeds to ram it into people and things. Turn out I had seen the beginning before... something must have happened that made me miss the middle and end on that first time of viewing. Maybe it was kids waking up or maybe I fell asleep but to wrap up this exciting tale, it was certainly an odd way to have watched John Wick 2 in a jumbled order. And I preferred the first one. Yet I'm still quite keen to see the third one.

The only annoyance was the wrapping up of Gabby Gabby’s storyline. They avoid a happy ending with a pointless fake out only to do a happy ending about 2 minutes later. They should have just given her the early happy ending and been done with it.

Loved toy story 4 also, though it didn't get me in the feels quite so squarely as toy story 3. The latter very much tweaked my fear of the kids growing up and moving on.

I understand your point in your spoiler but the fake out and then ‘real’ happy ending did nothing for me or the pacing of the film. It slooooowed right down thanks to cramming in all the goodbyes together. Since Woody had already volunteered his “assistance” rather than being a unwilling participant to her evil plan having her story close earlier wouldn’t have made that much difference IMO.

I watched Transformers the Last Knight and thought it was OK, quite fun but unlikely to stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever.

I enjoyed reading some of the reviews on IMDB. Boy, did it get some bad ones.

I think I've seen all the Transformer films now but I'm not 100% sure... to be honest I'm struggling a bit to remember much about them other than some set pieces here and there, the whole series seems fun but also quite forgettable and kinds of inconsistent nonsense really.

Yesterday. It's a bit odd. I liked it, it's sweet (Richard Curtis, so as you might expect), but it has a really interesting premise, and doesn't really do enough with it.

Spiderman: Away from Home. I wondered if I might feel a bit Meh, post Endgame, but I loved it. LOVED it. Brilliant. He's such a good Spiderman, and it mixes the teeny bits with the action, and the idea of him being local but acting more widely than that so well. We're back to credit sequences, the first is a doozy and the one right at the end worth waiting for.
