I didn't like it at all - but I imagine a certain target audience would
25 August 2018
I watched this on preview as a bunch of friends wanted to watch it. I didn't know anything about the film, and prefer to watch films without knowing where it's going or whats it about.
I gave it 45 minutes, and at no point did it really grip me or engage me in any way.
The production was decent, but in terms of being entertained, or even have a really strong storyline, I felt it was lacking big time.
Saying that, the friends I was with actually really enjoyed it.
It is possible suited to people of afro-carribean / or black background and they would probably connect and understand the subtle jokes etc and the whole vibe of the film better - being asian I assumed it'd be something in the same ilk as East is East but for people of african origin, and from what I remember - you didn't have to be asian to find East is East a really great film.
I might not be the right target market to be fair, but I've watched many films based on african / black culture, as well as variety of other films based on certain cultures, and generally the good ones can be riveting. This unfortunately wasn't and I couldn't wait for the film to end. Sorry Idris.

Mad Max: Fury Road
(2015)
the first film that I decided to write a review for.

If your reading this review to decide whether you should watch this film or not then stop, and just go watch it.
It would be an injustice to go into the ins and outs of this film - just watch the trailer, but if you want to know why a you should watch this then read on. Remember the hype that the Lord of Rings film, or the Matrix created when it was first released. This film will probably be described in the same proverbial vernacular as those big blockbusters.
Amazing movies should thrill and grip you from the start to the end and leave you wanting more. This is a truly spectacular film - the fact that it made me want to register on IMDb and give it a 10 out of 10 rating and write a review should tell you more than anything else I've written.
One for the cinema - watched it in 2D, will be watching it in 3D iMax before it goes.
This is what cinema is about. and all from the same director of Haopy Feet 1 & 2. Who would have thought.
