Have yet to watch it, but i heard it didn't go into some of the most interesting parts in Stephen Hawking's life when it comes to his accomplishments.

 

[DA_Champion]

Have yet to watch it, but i heard it didn't go into some of the most interesting parts in Stephen Hawking's life when it comes to his accomplishments.

He's famous for black hole evaporation, that is his greatest scientific achievement, and it's prominent in the movie.

The movie is really a love story though.

Meeeehh

• The LEGO Movie - 6/10 (not a fan)
• Justice League War - 5.5/10

Pile of $#%^

• I, Frankenstein - (-5/10)
• Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge - (-25/10) (I saw 10 minutes, then skipped somwhere near the end. It is easy to tell what a steaming pile of $#%^ this is from just that. Who thinks of scripts this bad? And why are there people who make them? First Tekken movie is still bad, at least it's entertaining, it's easy to tell there where they want to go. This steaming pile of $#%^ starts with a chase scene, and moves directly to an idiot villain with no idea what his plan is supposed to be, or how he wants to treat guests.)

I will not watch

• Noah
• Pompeii
