Amazon Prime

Is it me or are the films on here just getting worse and worse.

Some total garbage now in "recently added movies", and hardly anything worth watching.

I've struggled since getting Prime to find any films at all worth watching that I don't have to pay extra for.

I mean obviously there's Step up 4: Miami Heat but other than that a lot of the 'highest rated' films etc are actually fairly crap and i was expecting more decent, relaively recent films to be added but it hasn;t really happened.

I watched it a couple of days ago. It's pretty ropey. Think I enjoyed the sentimental/emtional bits toward the end more than most of the comedy really and I was a huge office fan back when it first came out.

Gomorrah is pretty much the best thing on there. In fact it's pretty much the best on TV full stop. It makes the Soprano's look like Peppa Pig.

I tried the free month. Top Gear Revisited was sh!t. The much touted Man in High Castle was poor. The other video on offer was really disappointing compared with Netflix. I avoid buying from Amazon these days since they introduced their own half-assed random couriers (or save up a bigger order and do a free click n collect). Didn't renew

They've never focused on buying in films, winning lots of awards making their own TV series though so much be doing something right.

Netflix are also going to be heavily stripping back on expensive studio deals to carry movies and ploughing even more resources into their own content.

Now TV is the only really viable option for recent movie content.

I gave up after half an hour.

Prime is only worth it for the tv series! They have saved the money by just getting crap films or cheap ones!

Black Sails and Vikings poor ??

[mikef]

Certainly not anything I would pay for

Still waiting for me to use Prime in Australia, there is noise that its happening, I want to have something better than just the Grand Tour.

Just watched it too. Totally agree, I enjoyed the ending - nicely done how he becomes endearing without changing - but the core "he's a muppet" comedy feels quite tired now.

I'm overwhelmed with so much choices that I ended up watching the same old ones. I love that they have International films which I tend to miss out at the local independent cinema. On my watchlist is Lucifer, Rush Hour and looking forward to the Tick. I'm also young at heart and currently enjoying watching cartoons/anime Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Aang and Monsuno. I'm sticking to Amazon Prime since I do most of my gift shopping there.

Preacher is pretty good as well.

Watched Intersteller on Prime and thought that was excellent

Only other film I've watched is Louis Theroux's take on Scientology

I only got it for TGT, though the free next day delivery has already returned the £59 I paid. Struggling to find anything else on there that I'm bothered about though.
