    Rober Pattinson with one of the funniest performances I've ever seen in a film. What a silly, silly man

    Film is a brilliant tool at showing places and periods in history that aren't as familiar to people outside of that place. This film is a golden example of this, and tells a wonderful story in the process

    Has to be a British comedy classic, surely?

    The satire works so well, it's hilarious and is genuinely quite moving as well at parts

    A film of extremes for me

    Pros:
    - Music slapped
    -Michael Fassbender never misses
    - looked gorgeous
    - admire that it didn't feel like a typical music biopic
    - dramatic scenes worked well

    Cons:
    - comedy did not hit at all (Marvel humour but references figures from the troubles instead of TV shows from the 90s or whatever)
    - messy as hell
    - paper thin characters
    - strange cartoonish choices
    - the political subplot felt underdeveloped
