Just saw this. I have honestly no idea what to think of it yet. It was an entertaining film, but it didn't feel like it's own thing. It suffers from the old franchise syndrome. At the end, while having been entertaining to watch, it's just set up for more movies to come. It basically just shows the playing field and has some 'stuff' happening. There is one comedic scene that was HILARIOUS though, the whole theater laughed their asses off. And one very emotional scene that was very effective as well. Gotta sleep on this again, but overall I wish it was less of a franchise puzzle piece.
Phenomenal film.
If you switch it off around 1 minute before the end. Wtf was that ending. I mean I get they'll explain the fresh tracksuits and dyed hair/golf clubs/chains with "they live in a shopping mall" but the whole Jimmy Saville thing looks completely irredeemable leading into the sequel and left an icky feeling.
Desperately hope I'm wrong because right up until that point, I thought it was entertaining and poignant with an amazing score, brilliant direction, superb camera work, great editing, the lot! Just that literal last minute was some unfathomable juxtaposition between good and bad film making. Man so bloody frustrating.
I can only hope the sequel is so good it makes the end scene turn into "oh remember that time we were introduced to these amazing characters"...
yeahhhh I'd be stunned too if that came true.
Nevertheless a must see imo. Best of the bunch even with that ending.

Also I just picked up these as posters from Odeon. Had to ask the staff though and only knew they might be available as I saw one abandoned on a kids colouring section of the foyer, where a child had got hold of one and tried to recreate it...
@k1i grabbed 6 or 7 so I could give them to friends who'd like them.
I was really pissed off with our Odeon. They've started charging more money for seats with the best viewing angle. The seats and service aren't any better and I just think it's wrong. Cinemas already aren't doing well, needlessly milking customers won't end well for them.

Dude. I hear you. Odeon have totally screwed customers with that decision to now charge for seat position/angle beyond the premium seats. Two different types of standard seats based on viewing angle just so they can charge 20% more. They should have just stuck with premium seats. There's zero difference in the seat quality of the other two tiers. If it's an old Odeon cinema (like mine) it's probably even worse as the condition of the cinema isn't.up to standard.
I don't notice any of the price changes as I've got Limitless. Plus all the Odeons by me are Luxe so full recliners in all screens. I paid under £140 for 12 months and can go as many times as I like. Hopefully that information is useful. Definitely wouldn't pay single ticket prices these days. It is a madness!
