    Watched it last night, and no one talked when watching it. I enjoyed it and loved the cat 🐈
  • Saw this today. I really liked it, I think it’s my favourite of the trilogy. 8/10 I’d give it.
  • I literally had to tell a bunch of lads sat behind me to be quiet , never done that before but was not standing it for this
  • @BHCha-
    patiently waiting for Marks review of Long Legs

    Gang of Four - Entertainment - fantastic LP; good taste Mark.

    The characters played by Quinn and Nyong'o are simply many orders more intriguing than those played by Strasinski and Blunt. I too enjoyed the edge of your seat thrills provided by seeing the first and second installments in the cinema, but I still prefer the more deftly lyrical filmmaking on display in the new movie. There is one shot that I wish I had framed as a poster in my living room - and I am certain most people will know the one I'm talking about.

    Found it riveting. I do wonder how these aliens, who appear as simply monstrous beasts, have the intelligence to create intergalactic space ships and locate earth.
  • Saw it yesterday and I have to admit this is a really good movie a must see!
  • @gjin141
    Felt this addition was inconsequential...however it was tense and atmospheric and Lupita's performance was brilliant
  • @joolsevelyn
    I love how Lupita is quietly establishing herself as a scream queen
  • @megafrog6753
    It was alright, but it really needed to do something new with the idea and it didn't. It's a great concept and there's more they could explore. Not a bad film though!
  • Saw it earlier today, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it, well acted, decent effects, basic, straightforward story, everyone in the theatre stayed silent throughout, the cat was amazing, it stole the show.
  • @esock2001
    It fell flat because they didn’t really commit to the NY invasion. They showed a glimpse of it and then took it away immediately and we never really see what we were being promised: big city mayhem
  • cant wait for you both to Review Longlegs, heard its stunningly good, love the channle gents, keep it up! Miss you on the BBC.
  • Lupita Nyong'o's performance is extraordinary. Besides that, it's a perfectly serviceable film, but not really as scary as the predecessors. It's more of a character study set against the horror of the invasion, rather than a horror/sci-fi film per se. It felt slightly too long, in places but they did do a good dive into the two main characters' motivations and history. I could see the end scene coming right from the start of the film (in concept, not specifics of course). I'm not sure we needed this film, but it was fine. I don't think they should do a fourth unless they have better ideas of how to make it new and interesting. Frodo the cat was very cute and a good "actor" but I can't somehow believe he would keep quiet like that when the aliens are literally inches from him at points. No hissing, spitting, arching of the back etc? Of course, that would be the end for the cat, so I can see why they didn't do that, but it did feel a bit unreal.
  • @Azuwat
    The movie is not horror. Its an A24 type acceptance of death story and a character focus not genre focus
  • I can't wait for Quinn and the cat Frodo to appear in the fourth movie. I am certain it will happen
  • @jeffallen4582
    Power in the Darkness. Had the stencil on the parcel shelf of my car back in the day. If you know you know. 🙌
  • Much preferred this one to the original 2. I thought the chemistry between the two leads was much more watchable than that of Emily Blunts character and family. While it wasn’t as tense or scary as the first film, it’s the only one of the trilogy that I will look forward to re-watching
