In Bruges
Never seen it before, epic. Laugh out loud right up to the plot twist/reveal where it became very dark.
Absolutely epic
'Leave my **** kids out of this!'Never seen it before, epic. Laugh out loud right up to the plot twist/reveal where it became very dark.
Absolutely epic
The set up for his mate to take the fall is epic.
We laughed so much as climbing down the tower a few years back we had to climb back up as our exit was blocked by two fat yanks waddling their way up!
As a general rule of thumb, anything with Brendan Gleason is a good watch. Now I'm thinking of The Guard with Don Cheadle, That was aces.
Sausage Party pops up in this year review, not one for me.

"The FBI lad, probably hadn't had this much fun since they burned all those kids up in Waco".
Love Gleeson, love thye Guard, love the song at the end and he fact that there's no voiceover a
hole blathering over it.
Sergeant Gerry Boyle: There were gay lads in the IRA?
Colum Hennessey: Mmm... one or two.
[Shrugs]
Colum Hennessey: It was the only way we could successfully infiltrate the MI5.

Guardians of the galaxy vol 2
I'm not sure if I have superhero fatigue (if that's even a thing) but for me it fell a bit flat.
I think the problem is that it really offered nothing new. All the action sequences were either ones from the first film turned up to 11 or ripoffs from other movies from Iron man to man of steel with even a sprinkling of green lantern (I think I am the only person that saw that though, so probably not a big deal)
There is still a lot of humour there and the characters relationships are good even if they are handled in a very heavy handed, let's make it obvious for the thickos way.
Visually its great of course apart for a deaged version of one of the cast which is terrible (and I thought the rogue one stuff was convincing) which is strange as Marvel have got previous efforts absolutely spot on.
Make sure you stay through the credits as there are 5 extra scenes although none of them could be viewed as essential in terms of the expanded MCU.
Talking about the rest of the MCU it's odd that this film is explicitly out of continuity being set very specifically in 2014. It's odd because you would have thought some of the events would at least have been mentioned in other MCU stuff, but aren't. This is strange because marvel have up to now been very careful about how everything fits together. It's not a massive deal because apart from that one thing the whole story has absolutely no bearing on the rest of the series. That means you could miss it and not miss anything, or if the first part is the only MCU film you've seen you wouldn't be too confused.
6.5/10

The de-ageing was mostly make up, with CGI to 'blur the lines' http://screenrant.com/guardians-galaxy-2-kurt-russ...Visually its great of course apart for a deaged version of one of the cast which is terrible (and I thought the rogue one stuff was convincing) which is strange as Marvel have got previous efforts absolutely spot on.
