    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    ★★★½

    Pretty good, Eminem goes hard and provides insight into why Snow is the way he is. Part 3 dragged at times. Casting of Lucy Gray and Coriolinus was good.

    ★★★½

    Started strong but quickly waned. I don’t feel it did justice to Napoleons reign or that Phoenix quite nailed the character. The performance was good but not accurate I believe. Cinematography elite.

    Watched this with friends so missed the first 20 minutes talking shit. However this movie still managed to grab my full attention and take me on a epic ride rooting for Ken Miles to succeed. 

    Miles played by Bale is extremely likeable and the underdog that you just want to do well. Shelby portrayed by Damon battles with decision between success and doing what’s right throughout the movie and his performance has the viewer also wanting his success.

    Not to mention a compelling story that is historically accurate and great visuals and characters. 

    8/10

    Gladiator has it all, great acting, great dialogue and a great story. The 2 and a half hours went by without me even realising which is a testament to just how gripping this film is. Crowe’s performance is spectacular and is completely deserving of the Oscar he won for it. Phoenix is also superb as the villain, perfectly plays that psychotic power hungry type that keeps you guessing. He calls upon similar techniques in his later work in The Joker.…
