re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sorry my reply is a bit late but I don't think seeing the first movie is a requirement. The story isnt over the top complicated though you may struggle a little trying to work out who is who especially with the decepticons as they all look very alike in roboform.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So long as Transformers 2 features the following, I'll be happy:

1) Giant robots fighting other giant robots

2) Giant robots blowing crap up

3) Megan Fox looking hot


On that note, I re-watched the first this afternoon. It ticked all three boxes & I give it 8.5/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It has about 3x as much of those than the first one!!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Good good :D

I should be seeing it next weekend.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Red Dragon

OK, so it's not as good as The Silence of the Lambs, but it's still a decent serial-killer thriller, and Hopkins is of course on top form as Lecter.

7.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

that was one of the funniest films i have seen in a long time.

Seen Transformers 2 last night - thought it was very good, action right from the start. 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Push

I know its been out a while but I just caught it and thought it was good enough :) 7 /10 worth a watch

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rat Race

Very silly, tried too hard a lot of the time but raised a few chuckles nonetheless. The sequence with the jewish family in Hitler's Mercedes is excellent.

6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Psychotic scourned girlfriend flying a helicopter scene not appeal to you then?? :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It was pretty good, but it's also a good example of the film trying too hard to be funny. The situation itself was very comic, psycho-girlfriend overacting her way through it only made it look like the director lacked confidence in his script. As if he was saying, "look folks! This is funny! Laugh, now!"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I agree, with a cast like that it should have been a classic, clearly an attempt at a Cannonball Run style remake. To be honest had it not been for John Cleese (or rather his very impressive teeth) I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it so much. But you can tell the director wasn't aiming for an Oscar.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Silence of the Lambs

Nearly 20 years old, & still one of the best ever thrillers made IMO. A classic.

10/10


It's a few years since I last watched it, so it was rather odd seeing the actor I now know more as Monk's Captain Stottlemeyer playing "Buffalo Bill"...

Great cast all round, but Foster & Hopkins were superb, & certainly deserved their Oscars (and I think it also won Best Picture & Best Director too).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Im off to see that on the Imax screen at the manchester odeon ( printworks ) soon.

Looked awesome on the trailer

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I managed to watch Transformers last night, 6/10. I'll be going to see Transformers 2 on Saturday. I hope it's better than the first!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quick question to those who have watched Transformers 2. It is a 12A which means I can take someone under 12 to wath it. Is the film suitable for a 5 year old?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I don't think I would recommend it for someone that young. There is a small amount of foul language in the movie along with all the violence.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 2. I thought it was a very good film. I enjoyed it anyway.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Haunting in Connecticut, very spooky movie! but brilliant story 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dead Space. Which was ok, messy, but ok :) 5/10

I've got the game now so I'm working on that...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Southland Tales. if you're a geek, into sci-fi kinda action, ott, over-long, but slightly intriguing 7/10 a few giggles with Sarah Michelle Gellar-Prinze-Junior as an adult film star secret agent type thing ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The last movie I saw was in school, "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".

It was ok. A bit boring.

4/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Angels & Demons

too long, like most films, nowadays, but quite fast paced - 7/10 overall

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You are probably too young to understand or get the movie. I honestly cried when I saw this in the cinema, a very moving and really well made movie. Nothing boring about it.

Just watched Ghostbusters 2 again. Still not as good as the first one but all together pretty funny and entertaining. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I do understand and get the movie. Probably didnt help having to watch it in parts.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ditto. First time in years that a movie made me cry. I found it very upsetting when Mrs D & I went to see it. Felt like a wreck at the end, and had to have a few ciggies afterwards (this was back before the current "non-smoking" drive).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 8/10

I seem to prefer this film on TV than at the cinema, I seem to remember seeing it at the cinema and finding it a bit dull, but at home I don't, maybe 'cos I can pause it, get up, go to the loo, get a drink etc. We'll watch the others over the next couple of weeks ready to see the new one at the cinema

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and that Chamber of Secrets 7/10

This was the one that I found dull, not the first one, I remember then being annoyed as it put me off seeing the next one at the cinema which was better than 1 or 2. Looking forward to 4 again.

Actually, I may enjoy the films more this time round as I haven't read the books (I've read them all) in so long, so I can't remember the differences.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hangover - 8/10.

Much better than I expected, not just a gross-out peurile movie (imho).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transporter 3. oh dear. Trying too hard to be full of really ott 'action' sequences, edited way too fast; really choppy, dizzy camera, head-pounding soundtrack.. 2/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched Transfomers on DVD again during the week, to remind ourselves what happened in the first one :) Still enjoyed it, although as I think I said to my missus a couple of minutes into watching it at home last time said " I think we need a bigger tele" (we have a 28" CRT widescreen)

9/10

However last night we saw Transformers 2, I was disappointed.
The SFX were clearly amazing, but as a film it reminded me of the bad Simpsons episodes of recent years. i.e. the writers have thought of a few scenes that they want to happen, and then tried to put some extra bits in between, and just tried to keep the action up so we didn't notice it was all a bit of a mess.

I also thought it was trying too much to be a kids film, with the annoying twin robots, the parents (I liked them in the first film, but they seemed annoying and unnecessary in this one), and other attempts at humour and it was too long :(

At least we got to see the Bruno and Harry Potter trailers again :)

Def thought Terminator Salvation was better for switch off brain and enjoy robots fighting action :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Public Enemies 10/10 a brilliant movie well worth going to see.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

but Tranformers is a kids film! I grew up with it in the 80's. So even though they will be satisfiying us at heart it's for the kids of today to enjoy.

Public Enemies 6/10 was ok but don't really like the style of filming the Michael Mann has.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inkheart - 6.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 8/10 looking forward to the next one again :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen 10/10 Awesome

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ice Age 3. Great film in the Ice Age traditions.
Loved the bit where Sid tries to milk the buffalo and finds out its a male.! :D Made me laugh........;):)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 9/10 the best one so far

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched the remake of The Andromeda Strain last night - which was ok 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 8/10, haven't seen it since we saw it at the cinema, enjoyed it, I can't remember what bits where chopped out from the book (must have been loads to get it into 2hrs), missus seems to remember it was lots of boring teenage angst stuff so that's good ;)

Times like this I'm glad I've got a memory like a goldfish, means I don't get annoyed when films differ from the source too much!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

just watched Bruno! hahaha iv not laughed so much in all myself.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 5/10, really not impressed as usual (for HP movies ayway) the director seem to have convieniently forgotten that it's part of a series and just gone down the 'What I want to do' route.

Specific issues below.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

did you mean "Order of the Phoenix", or the new film, as your spoiler mentions something that happens in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which may annoy ppl if they think you're talking about a film they've seen!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I did mean the Half blood prince, can a mod update the post above please.

order of the pheonix was 9/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 4/10

Nothing really actually happened in it. I nearly fell asleep half way through which I regret now as I wished I had fallen asleep.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Public Enemies. 7/10

Not quite as good as the hype would have you believe,imho of course.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw the Half-Blood Prince last night. Prob 7.5/10
It's not an action film and it does deviate from the book but it was still a good film, imo.
I think Ginny & Hermione stood out in the film, although Draco and young Tom were pretty convincing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter ~ Half blood prince.
Not my thing for starters, went to see it with my girlfriend first night it came out... though i wasn't expecting much i have watched the others with her and the FX were pretty good but not on this latest one, bit of a let down even for me.
Girlfriend rated the movie 6 - 7/10 (Huge HP Fan lol)
- Kfk.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Push 8.5/10 Pretty good film and the ending leaves it open for another. Very X-men'esque, its a shame that some people have slated it on reviews elsewhere as its a great Saturday afternoon\evening film. The acting is quite good and Dakota Fanning plays here part superbly.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:tu: Yeah i watched that the other week, i'd give it about a 7.5/10 pretty good movie :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield 7/10
Hadn't seen it before, missus and I enjoyed it. I hated the first 15 mins, was like a crappy teen drama, but then things started blowing up and it picked up :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

New Harry Potter. Disappointed missed loads of the action from the books and left us with an insite to teenage emotions . Prisoner of Azkban Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix all seem to be leading to a powerful climax but this pah

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I avoided this film for ages due to the critics basicly calling it the blairzilla project. Had to be forced to watch it by a friend in the end but really enjoyed it when I did.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Done :)

Watched Blood- The last Vampire recently, not bad for a live action manga, 8/10 from me. Must now try to find the original 2000 manga version of it to watch

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 7/10

I did really enjoy it and yes many sub plots were missing, but as this like many other films is only 'based' on the book then they did a good job of keeping the best and important parts. It was still a 2.5 hour movie so keeping anything ese would have been too much.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

what like all the potential action?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Day After Tomorrow

DEVASTATION!/10


After the crappy Godzilla & Patriot, Roland Emmerich returned to do another big-budget disaster movie a la ID4, this time featuring Mother Nature laying waste to civilisation, rather than aliens in gigantic saucer ships.

Nonsense of course, but enjoyable nonsense with spectacular scenes of destruction across the globe.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Is that the one with Dennis Quaid?
I took hubby to see that and at the end I asked what he though of it.
His answer? Ermm there wasn't much action!
It's a film about nature !!!
I however, loved it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ice Age 3 - 8 / 10 :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, Dennis Quaid, Jake "Donnie Darko" Gyllenhaal, & some people I recognise but can't name.

I loved it too :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

He Was A Quiet Man - 7/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Bruno

6/10

Much prefer the series and the old style looking Bruno. Too much of the film was obviously set up.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

HP6 - 8/10

Quie a few sections of the book missing but not really that essential for the storyline. Some people might be disappointed as it doesn't follow true to the earlier films but you have to remember that this book was the transition between Harry being awkward schoolboy and the Wizard who has to fight the final battle. Can't wait for the two HP7 films

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

East in East - 5/10

Saw it at school, quite funny but also quite boring.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing.

Not what I was expecting. NC is just not watchable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw V - hmm, I do really like the Saw franchise, but I do find I need to watch them a couple of times to pick everything up! At least the 2nd time I know when to look away from all the gore, which there wasn't that many scenes of but when there was.. eew! 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter And the Half Blood Prince - 8/10
My favourite HP movie so far I loved the action, had quite a few laughs and wasn't let down by the story at all. Though I probably enjoyed it more because I haven't read the book as most people who have seem to be giving it a rather average score.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 2, the film would be totally pants if it wernt for the FX so it will get a 2/10 from me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Watchmen directors cut last nite. What a great film! Loved the OTT graphical deaths and the FX. Bit of a long film tho at 3hrs. Would love to see a sequel or a prequel (Minutemen) to the story Gets a 10\10

I have also got Watchmen The complete motion comic which takes a bit of getting in to but again great and original.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I must have far to much time on my hands, 3 films over the course of a week and no one else posting.

Knowing
Nic Cage takes the star roll in this sci-fi save his\the earth thriller. I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed it so it cant be all bad. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched "I am legend" 8/10.

Then watched the last 15 min of the alternate version.

The one in the original version was better.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Time Crimes - 8/10 - It could go On and On and On and On and On.

Taxidermia - ?/10 - dunno if it was good in an interesting way or crap or just unwatchable. It's like Terry Gilliam with a bit of HC Porn and some Real? Animal killing and an insane plot. I dunno what to make of it. Yes you will have to Torrent it, it is two years old and only just getting a release, doubt it will show at any major multiplex.

Nah I have been off all week and watched loads of films. But seen most of them before so not really a last film you saw. Got a Blue Ray player as well.

Kingdom Of Heaven (Dir Cut) BR
300 BR
The Thing BR
Watchmen (Dir Cut) BR (Bloody region coding, I thought they outgrew that, just cost me £300 for a chipped BR player)
54
Alien
Star Wars
Stoned
Manhattan
Clue
Pieces
Cat and the Canary (Love this film) this is the 70's version
Some Carry On Films....

Whole bunch of others I can't remember. Your not alone in watching films ;)

I have that Watchmen Motion Comic, also have the Black Freighter as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I loved the Theatrical Cut, & I think the Director's Cut is even better :)

Looking forward to the Extended Edition later in the year.


I saw that at the cinema. Great FX, & a very interesting premise... let down IMO by a terrible ending.

Yup, I preferred the Theatrical ending.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sorry, it became a challenge to remember what I just wasted 9 days doing.......

Top Secret
Massacre At Central High (Don't knock it, even Ebert liked it)
Caddyshack
Apocalypse Now (Redux)
Carwash

I have too many films and not enough time.

---------- Post added at 22:39 ---------- Previous post was at 22:30 ----------

BTW, all these are bought, so in mind they are all 7/10 - 10/10 or I wouldn't bother.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire last night, and Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix this evening, as a refresher before seeing the new one next week.

Didn't bother watching 1-3 too as I've seen them plenty of times, but I don't think I've actually watched 4 or 5 since seeing them at the cinema.

Very good, IMO, despite them both missing bits from the books.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Antichrist 2/10 what a load of nonsense!!! shocking in places but overall just rubbish.

The Proposal 7/10 really funny and stars Sandra Bullock :):) I'm instantly happy

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

8/10

Been a while since I read the book, so I can't remember how much has been left out, but I really enjoyed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

8.5/10
They seem to have missed the scene setting first chapter and emphasized Dubledore's illness, but othewise pretty good and the last main scene was true to the book.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Anchorman

Second time watching it and it was a chore. Unfunny and just terrible.

0/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 8/10

The missus and I haven't read the book since a month or so after the hard back edition came out. We thoroughly enjoyed the film. thought it had the right balance of humour, and then dark when it needed to be :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Highlander (BD)

A classic.

There can be only one... [just a pity that didn't apply to the movie]


Mississippi Burning (Sky+)

Powerful stuff, with a top-notch cast.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Ugly Truth 10/10 very funny and well worth watching. LINKY

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Taking of Pelham 123....7 /10.
Knowing....7/10
Transformers 2....7/10

I see a pattern emerging.
I think i need to stop having Internet enabled devices around when watching movies.They never seem quite as interesting.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Che part 1. Really annoying the way it skips from the 'present' to the past a lot. The action is repeatative (but I suppose war is isn't it), and it does drag on a bit, and oh my God, there's part 2 yet... It was OK though 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well it is really about his life. A very interesting life at that.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

GI Joe - 4/10 - pure popcorn movie, but too many cliches for my liking (and I usually like films like this)

Mutant Chronicles - 3/10 - unrelentlessly bleak

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My Name is Bruce

Missus and I just watched it, we both enjoyed it, laughed out loud a bit, but I'm sure that was at the obvious references we got.

The film has mixed reviews, but (trying to avoid spoilers) that's to be expected as it's more or less aimed at Bruce Campbell's fans rather than "average Joe".

Glad we watched it, for £5 on DVD it's good, but saying that, glad we didn't spend £15 - £20 for the pair of us to see it at the cinema.

As most ppl say, for the serious Bruce fans only, so it's hard to score out of 10!

6/10, more or if you're a die hard fan, less if you're reading this thinking Bruce Who ? ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Groovy ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I took Natalie to see the time travellers wife. Which was very good just depressing at the end. 6/10

I've just ordered the book from the RNIB talking book thing so well see if that's any better.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"The cellar door" - pile o' crap

-1

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inglourious Basterds 10/10

Absolutely brilliant film, which happens to be a Tarantino film, for a lot of it isn't obvious it's one of his films, but now and again it is, probably the funnier parts :)

A word of warning, if you don't like "foreign films" you may not like it, a lot more subtitles than I was expecting (but then I wasn't expecting any). I deliberately haven't read anything about it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Twilight - 8/10

I wasn't expecting to like it at all but I loved it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

team twilight :>

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

District 9 - 8/10

Such an excellent film. It's directed and written by Neill Blomkamp who was set to direct the Halo movie.

This was made because Peter Jackson thought that he should help him out with making another film, so he earned $30m for the budget. The lead is excellent in his role too, especially for his first acting job. I truely recommend it to anyone.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing

Odd ending, but otherwise quite watchable.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Crew - 8/10

Liverpool gangster flick, well done like most British gangster films.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The best thing about watching GI was watching it in gold class. Huge fully reclining lazy boy sofas and waiters to bring over my caramel popcorn and drinks. The film itself, also 4 out of 10, exactly for the reasons above.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What's gold class?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I saw the film in a cinema in Dubai. My brother in law bought the tickets. Its basically a cinema with 50 lazy boy sofas arranged in pairs. You order your food before you go in, its bought to you by a waiter, you can also get his attention throughout the film. Each lazy boy has enough room around it to fully recline. Personally, i thought it was a bit OTT as well as a waste of money as the tickets are quite expensive.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Hangover - 6/10. Not the ball-burstingly-funny film people made it out to be sadly. OK it had it's pretty good moments but the hype passed me by. Although Mike Tyson was excellent, not a bad actor for his scenes :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think that's the difference between our scores - I went to it with low expectations (another Will Farrell/Seth Rogan type film), and was pleasantly surprised that it was (imho) much better than that. :)
