Prometheus 8/10 Loved it

Wasn't exactly super thrilled with Prometheus. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but I felt that there were a lot of holes and that they could have done more with what they had. There were times where the plot just didn't seem to move along quickly enough and I was left desperately waiting for something to happen. There were also quite a few characters who were so inconsequential that I didn't even bother to learn their names... heck there were characters that I am convinced never had names to begin with that were just there to die in some wonderfully gruesome manner... sort of like Star Trek redshirts.

Still Michael Fassbender was amazing. He stole the show completely. He kept me captivated from the Kubrickian scenes of him wandering about the ship right up to the end. In fact when he was on screen the other actors may as well have not existed he was that good. They should digitally edit out everyone else and just let Michael run around being creepishly awesome.

I give it a 7/10... without Fassbender I'm guessing it would have been a 4.

Is it really neccessary to spend money making into English when it was done so well the first time anyway?

Yes. I hate subtitles and poor production value.

Hard Candy. How does a kid at that age perform so meticuloulsy?! #EllenPage amongst all her other works, this must be Legendary. Patrick Wilson, I salute you. To David Slade and co - remarkable. I now start hunting for more from all.

Just watched it for a 2nd time now. Just found it last week.

Score? 9.5/10. The 0.5 deduction comes in for a clothing Faux Pas I just noticed

Still, a brilliant movie!

I found her performance to be overly self confident and controlled, although I did squirm for certain 'scenes'.

The Amazing Spiderman 6/10 ...Turns out its not really amazing

 

[Hamster]

Lockout: 7/10 just for entertainment value. The opening scene is hilarious and the movie doesn't take itself seriously. So lots of bullets, explosions, a hot chick and just AWESOMENESS all round

 

[Komrun]

The French Connection (1971)

The Train chase scene was amazing!

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

A well-crafted Spy-Thriller right from 80s. if you didn't know the actors you couldn't tell it was a recent movie! Magnificent!

The Dictator: 6/10. There are some genuinely funny moments here and there, but not enough to save this film from mediocrity. A far cry from Borat. Best watched with friends.

 

[RazedInBlack]

Meeting Evil 7/10 Samuel L Jackson at his most psychotic! He was quite hilarious.

I see The Expendables 2 has Jean Claude van Damme in and Chuck Norris and Arnold and Bruce have some action scenes.

The Amazing Spiderman - 7/10
Spiderman isn't a wuss this time around. And the cast saves it from being a boring re-telling of a story we've seen before.
Wasn't annoying in 3D either.

Just watched tree of life. Two hours of my life wasted.

Just watched john carter. Lot more epic than I expected. Solid 7 out of ten. Just starts a bit slow.

Just watched tree of life. Two hours of my life wasted.

+1

Spiderman - 7/10.Basically a rehash of Raimis Spiderman 2 with Doc Oc.
This version is more of a snot and trane Spidey.

 

[BrokenRSA]

The Dark Knight Rises 9/10. Awesome conclusion to a brilliant trilogy.

 

[Nicci]

Battleship - 10/10. I really enjoyed this movie very much! Good story, action, and special effects were amazing.

Bernie - 6.5 / 10. Comedy with Jack Black. Some funny moments, a bit boring at some places, but all in all quite enjoyable.

 

[AirWolf]

The Devil Inside 5/10: Documentary-style movie about exorcism; ended very abruptly.

 

[AthenianOwl]

Battleship - 10/10. I really enjoyed this movie very much! Good story, action, and special effects were amazing.

Really? Hmm, I must watch it!

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter - 7.5/10

Really great action scenes (lots of "mother of god" moments), and the vampires weren't gay like the ones in Twilight.

 

[Park@82]

Really? Hmm, I must watch it!

Nope not for me, thought the story was seriously flawed.
