The storyline was good -- for Hidden Figures.
I wish it was a true drama as compared to a feel good movie.
I sense that we as women and in particular black women ...lost by it not being treated critically.

I felt the same as I do after a Mel Gibson movie.
Great idea, wish someone else had produced/directed it.

Good review Pinga. That said, I never knew you considered yourself to be black. :D
 
2017 is not shaping up to be a worthwhile trip to the theatres from where I sit.

With the exception of Rogue One I have not been satisfied with the Star Wars movies as a whole, they seem to recycle plot points in favour of new visual effects. As far as fluff goes they are almost worth the price of admission.

Alien Covenant tugs ever so slightly. I may need to let that simmer a bit longer.

As much of a DC fan as I am I cannot say that Justice League excites me in anyway. Any Justice League without a Green Lantern in it is going to suck. Now that there are 6 Earth based GLs (7 if you include Charlie Vickers but he was assigned to a different space sector so he isn't Earth based even though he is from Earth). Hans Zimmer's Wonder Woman score is, so far the most intriguing bit of that movie but I think that needs more simmer time as well.

I did see a trailer for Dunkirk. I will go an see that. I expect it will be a tough sit.

Other than that nothing on the list grabs my attention in anyway.

There is going to be a Green Lantern cameo in Justice League.
 
Yes - I saw Lion recently. Loved it. Very cinematic, with less emphasis on dialogue - has subtitles for part of it. Poignant story, with twists and turns, reminding me how we humans often form life on the basis of assumptions - some correct & some not.

Someone told me (and I didn't fact check) that it was based on a true story. I am pretty sure they were also mistaken, not lying. So, that's disappointing and makes me want to see it less.

You want to see it less if it's based on a true story? Wow, for me it's generally a plus when a film is such.
 
I enjoyed watching Cardboard Boxer. It is about life on the streets. It might change some peoples' minds about homeless people after watching it.

Okay... so... why in this case?

Because I thought it was based on a true story - about African American women who were part of the early space program but didn't get recognized. That's what I was told and I wanted to see it to learn the story and about those women. If it's all fictitious then I don't find it as intriguing because it didn't happen. I'm disappointed that it didn't happen.

Wait... I'm confused. First you said that it was based on a true story. Now you say that it was not based on a true story. Whaaat?

Which is a result of fan rioting. It will be a throw-a-way scene. An insult.

I mean the big baddie is Darkseid so it makes perfect sense to ignore the galactic police officer and call on captain fish paste for help.

I will take this as a good recommendation and make it point to see. Thanks!
