Bad Batch = 6/10
Its like a less impressive Mad Max. Not as much action as you'd think and of course no real plot. Lots of known actors in it though. Its like they were hoodwinked or something into being in this mess of a movie.

The helicopter scene was intense. They had those stealth bombers and MiGs going at it over the English channel too.

It looks like a return to the greatness of the first one, as opposed to the 100%-for-merchandise-sales-Cars 2
I saw it to humor my car obsessed brother, and even he admitted it wasn't great. It didn't seem to be made for toy sales, but the story and personal aspects of the characters were lacking compared to the first one.

USA Today had a funny spin on Dunkirk.

Apparently, it isn't good to have few blacks and women in a historical movie in an area almost entirely consisting of white men. :o

I saw it and liked it. It wasn't as good as the first one, but still much better than the 2nd

And I don't know if putting the female character in was SJWish or if I'm just so polluted by anti-SJW thoughts I couldn't get over that. It could have been a male character and the same story would have been relevant.

Is it just me or are most movies from Hollywood these days aimed at kids? Is it because even grown up Americans are like kids theese days? You whare kids clothes, eat children food and watch movies for children.

I know it's an American thing and it's been like this for a long time but I feel it's getting worse.
