last film in the Rambo boxset, hadn't seen the 4th film before - Rambo 8/10

Documentary on the DVD about the situation in Burma was interesting, in a scary way!

Son of Rambow next, haven't seen that.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 10/10 saw it at the Imax in 3D, I wanna live on Pandora!!

Moon 9/10 Great British film :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prambo? :disturbd:

Over the Hedge: Not bad, some good laughs. 7/10

Flushed Away: Hilarious in places [the slugs cracked me up :D], quite enjoyable. 7/10

Santa's Slay: Daft, but enjoyable. 6.5/10

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls: 7/10

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride: Loses a couple of points for all the singing, which IMO was completely unnecessary. 5/10

Happy Feet: Not bad, amusing in places. 6/10

Crocodile Dundee II: Still ejoyable. 7/10

The Dukes of Hazzard: Not as bad as I was expecting. 6.5/10

The Incredibles: 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Brown - simply stunning film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

we started to watch Happy Feet, but got bored about 20 mins so watched the Pixar Incredibles spin off short Jack-Jack Attack, that was very funny, then watched Flushed Away we enjoyed that, would give it 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

[REC] (DVD)

8.5/10



Let The Right One In (BD)

8.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Something, Something, Something Dark Side 8/10 missus and I enjoyed it as much as Blue Harvest.

Burn after Reading 8/10 we saw it at the cinema and really enjoyed it, then picked it up the other day in HMV for £3, really enjoyed it again :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Paranormal Activity - 6.5 out of 10. No way as scary/creepy as the Entity.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 3d - 9/10

I think it we had seen it in 2d would have been 7/10, as for the most part it is dumb, generic Hollywood action movie by numbers. But the 3d really draws you in and adds a lot of atmosphere to it. Certainly was worth the extra money to see it in 3d.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 3d 9.5/10

would have scored it a 10 had it not been the fact I saw elements of Shogun/Last Samurai in it. The film totally encapsulated the audience . The cinema was quite full even after all this time and once the film started it was as good as silent around me and there were kids there but even they were quiet.

The rates as one of the top films ive seen maybe helped by the 3d but so what :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

There are only 7 basic plots anyway :D

9.5/10 for Avatar from me. Definitely think the 3D added to the whole story and didn't feel like 3 hours.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nowhere boy.

8/10

Film 4 showing a real return to form.. It's the story of the early (pre-beatles) life of John Lennon. I actually ends just before the trip to Hamburg that Backbeat was about, so even though it had been mad 16 years after backbeat, it fits in quite nicely.

Excellent acting, excellent music.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wizard of Oz 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw The Tournament over the weekend. I don't know if this will ever make it to the big screen or straight to DVD but it 'stars' Ving Rhames and Robert Carlyle. The basic plot is that the tournament is a competetion where the worls best assassins converge on a town and play for 10 million dollars. They have to kill each other off - last man (or woman) standing wins the prize. Implaneted trackers and GPS systems allow each assassin to see where the others are. The group behind it watch on big screens having taken control of all the CCTV in the town the tournament is played in.

THis is a shocker of a film. It is also set in Middlesborough, I still don't know why. Funnily enough I dont think the producers have been to Middlesborough before as some of the sets where the main action scenes take place look very americanised.

I'd give it 4 out of 10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I quite liked it and it kept me amused all the way through, some good kills in it as well, so I'd give it a 6.5 - 7 at least for it. A total Battle Royale rip off but still worth the watch.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Although it's set in Middlesbrough, it wasn't filmed here. It was wrote by a few students from here though. Well, I don't know if they were from here but they did go to University of Teesside which is here. I believe it was filmed in the northwest. I would of gave it a 7.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A dangerous man staring Stephen "Lardy" Segal.
An ex special forces vet and ex con finds himself entangled in some stuff with money & guns, a Russian bloke and a Chinese bird. Errr what else can I say if you like Segal you may like this. 3\10 and thats for the nice looking AK47's ;)

7.5/10

It teaches two things:

1) Liam Neeson kicks ass.

2) The world is a dangerous place, and foreigners are not to be trusted.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Son of Rambow - 8/10

A brilliant way to round off the recent Rambo films we've been watching.
Son of Rambow is more like a cross between Be Kind Rewind and Where the Wild Things than like Rambo :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Surrogates / not that good really, 4/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not sure if its that good.:erm:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I enjoyed it when I watched it a while back lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The History Boys - 8/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Bourne Identity (Blu-ray)

9/10. Excellent.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Max Payne : 6/10
Quantum of Solace : 5/10 (too much action, not enough plot)
last 30 mins of Tropic Thunder (will have to watch the whole film sometime soon) : 10/10 - very very funny.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Stealth: I'd read a lot of bad comments about this movie [e.g. "worst movie ever", etc], so my expectations weren't very high, but having seen it I fail to see what's so bad about it. I actually thought it was a pretty decent action/sci-fi[ish] movie. 8/10

Miss Congeniality: 8/10

The Magic Roundabout: The animation was fine, but otherwise I was rather disappointed. 4/10

Madagascar: Not bad. 7.5/10

Clue: Surprisingly ejoyable, considering its age. 7/10

The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice: 7.5/10

Night at the Museum: 8/10

Earth vs. the Spider: Not-bad B-movie. 7/10

How to Make a Monster: Another B-movie; not great, but could be worse. 5/10

Flesh for the Beast: Lame. I'm not sure why I bothered watching it all the way to the end, except maybe the female nudity, but then again the girls weren't that hot. :shrug: 2/10

Automaton Transfusion: Kind of a poor-man's Resident Evil. Okay, so the acting wasn't great, but considering it only had a budget of $30,000 I think it wasn't too bad. In the interest of full disclosure I should mention 2 things:
1. quite a few people don't agree with me, & think it's really bad
2. It ends on a cliff-hanger, though a sequel is apparently in the works [which I intend to watch]. 7/10

30 Days of Night : 8/10

Eight Legged Freaks: If you're not a fan of spiders then this will quite probably give you the heeby-jeebies, as it did me, but it's still worth watching if you haven't seen it before. 6.5/10

Ocean's Eleven: Enjoyable heist movie. 8/10

Ocean's Twelve: Not bad, but didn't like it as much as the first 1. 7/10

Fireball: Pretty much your typical "bad guy uses experimental drug, gets super powers, & becomes super-villain that has to be stopped" type movie. 7.5/10

Polar Storm: Not bad world-in-peril disaster movie. 7.5/10

L.A. Story: 7/10

Scooby-Doo: I would have gotten away with giving this an 8 if it wasn't for those meddling film makers not only making Scrappy evil, but including him in the film in the first place. Matthew Lillard's portrayal of Shaggy was spot-on though, even the voice. 6/10

Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed: Significantly better than the original. 8/10

Miss Congeniality: Armed and Fabulous: 7.5/10

The Day the Earth Stopped: Similar story to The Day The Earth Stood Still, but I think I enjoyed this 1 more. 7/10

Edges of Darkness: I only managed to put up with about half an hour of this. Not worth the waste of time. 1/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 10/10

The best film i have ever seen, every single thing was perfect! the story, the graphics the actors.

It makes me think what earth would of looked like say 5000 years ago.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Take it you caught it in 3D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

No just normal screening, have you seen it in 3D whats it like?, i heard you get the feeling that your actually their?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Do yourself a big favour Frankie and go and see it in 3D mate. ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

yeah you are missing out dude

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am right in thinking that all the Na'vi were CGI.

Is the IMAX 3D version different to 3D version

The Bourne Supremacy (Blu-ray)

Sherlock Holmes 9/10 well worth seeing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Frankie,you HAVE to see it in 3D!!! It's an experience,not just a movie! Honestly,I was blown away by it,and cinema hasn't blown me away for a long time! :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Pianist

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

And I thought I watch a lot of films! I'll have to check out Automaton Transfusion; I've been running low on blood and guts ever since I finished with 28 weeks later.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Day the earth stood still (Remake) - 2/10

Keanu Reeves owes me 2 hours of my life.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

District 9 - 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

44inch chest. Thankfully, i heard an interview where Ray Winstone moaned about the fact that it has been hyped as a gangster film. It is not, and had I been expecting one, I would have been disappointed.

As it happens, it's a film about a violent Londoner (Winstone) and how he falls apart when his wife leaves him for another man. It's also about how his friends attempt to help him deal with it (by kidnapping and imprisoning his wife's lover, hence the ganster hype).

Nicely scripted and acted film. Not a lot actually happens, but it is entertaining none the less. John Hurt in particular is excellent as the Cantankerous old man known only as Peanut. There are a few scenes in which they are talking about old films, and one entertaining sequence where someone is describing the story of the Elephant Man to John Hurt's character..

7/10

Also, I watched Transformers 2 earlier. Typical Micheal Bay film. Nice big action scenes, lots of explosions, good special FX and Megan Fox both draped seductively over a motorcycle and driving a sexy loking camero at high speed.. 6/10

Watched it on Tuesday. Thought the effects were excellent, as was the 3D. The storyline began and ended well, but the middle dragged. The film spent far too long establishing the relationship between Sam Worthington's character and the Na'vi. They could have lost about 40 minutes of film from that section with little or no impact on the story.

7/10 and yes, I did see it at the BFI London IMAX cinema.

In fact, while I am a great fan of James Cameron, and actually enjoyed both Avatar and Titanic, I do think he should look at his earlier films to remind himself how to set up believable characterisations without taking too long to do so. Aliens, The Abyss and T2 do this excellently..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I found Avatar great but I understand what you say> i saw elements of Shogun remember how long it took Richard Chamberlain's character to get to know the Japs

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think that was a 2-3 week's worth of film watching. The thing is, almost all of them were films I'd recorded, & I had to watch some to make room for more recordings [on my V+].

Don't you get Zone Horror then? I don't know what channel it is on Sky, but on VM it's 149.


Autumn: Could do with some serious editing, as it really drags on.

4/10

Paycheck: Seen it before, but still not bad. 7/10

NYC: Tornado Terror: Typical disaster movie. 7/10

Between the Lines: I don't know why this has a score of 6.9 on IMDB, I really don't. It's supposed to be a comedy, or at least have some comedy in it - I didn't even manage a smile in the hour of it that I managed to put up with. I only watched it because it sounded good from it's description in DigiGuide, but my recommendation is don't even bother... unless you need a cure for insomnia! 1/10

Cheaper by the Dozen: Not bad. 7/10

Soulkeeper: 7/10

Mr. St. Nick: 7.5/10

The Art of War: 7/10

The Art of War II: Betrayal: 7/10

Dragonquest: Someone on IMDB described it as "Hot Shots meets Lord of the Rings", & whilst I still haven't seen the LOTR trilogy yet, I've heard enough about it to agree with the reference. 7/10

Village of the Damned: This is 1 of those films I watch because I feel like I should watch them at least once. Not that great. 5/10

Blue Crush: Babes in bikinis - need I say more? :D 7/10

Hellbinders: An odd little movie, but not too bad. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Final Destination - 7/10 - Quite enjoyed this but thought this was the weakest in the series.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alien, oddly enough I have recently had the pleasure of watching The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) 9/10 and Village of the Damned (1960) 7.5/10 and they are most certainly better that the recent re-makes. Saying that, I have also had the opportunity to watch The War of the Worlds (2005) and I found it to be far superior in its narrative, than the nineteen fifty-three version (although I still rate that a 7/10 as a stand alone tale).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I must commend Alien for including, not only a vast and wide selection each time but also, providing links to IMDB and some comments for every one. Well done. :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just back from seeing Avatar for the second time.. Just as good second time round :D (apart from guys constantly talking somewhere to the right)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Though I've seen it before,I enjoyed the Chronicles of Riddick in HD on Picture box last night. Good entertainment.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Starship Troopers:Marauder

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Really, don't waste nearly two hours of your life that you'll never get back - even though I was watching it late at night, with two large glasses of malt, and it had Jolene Blalock in it, and we finally got the powered armour from the original book (for about two minute at the end), it is complete and utter dreck (I enjoyed the original film).

Hopefully, going to see Sherlock Holmes this evening will restore my faith in film-makers.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I enjoyed the film mostly, It wont go winning any awards but it was much better than sequel. That is until the last 30 mins when the Christianity references which had been present throughout the film became a lot more than references.
I'd give it about 4/10, would have been 7/10 if it wasn't for them ruining the end.


As for Sherlock Holmes, I loved it. Downey Jr. makes the film much better than it could have been though so if you don't like him you may not like this.
I'd give it 9/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sherlock Holmes - 6/10.

I enjoyed it, but it just seemed to lack something, didn't keep my full attention (I like RJD, and thought he was great in Iron Man).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Robert Jr. Downey? :erm::D I just finished watching it, I'd give it about an 8.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A British actor in the main role :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek 9/10 Really liked this one. Loved the background stories for all the characters.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Surprising Robert Downey jr actually worked in the role of Sherlock Holmes as it did in Chaplin, if they had put a English star into the role then the movie would not get the success at the US box office, and that is all that matters to the movie men.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Man

9/10. Still awesome.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Off to see Avatar 3d with me dad shortly - I'm almost excited :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It now only about £2m behind Titanic in the most cash made, not bad for a film thats not even 60 days old.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Its gonna start dropping out of the cinemas in the UK and I guess the US with Toy Story 2 in 3D showing soon . Dunno how many 3D screens your lots local cinemas have but round here its just one

Adn its about 168 million behind Titanic ;)

Thing is what would be a better way of doing the box office hits would be bums on seats ie tickets sold rather than money made. Look at Star Wars and remember how much a cinema ticket was in 1977 ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I enjoyed it a lot and am happy I went to see it :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My local Cineworld now has at least 3 screens converted for 3D so they will both stay around. Toy Story 2 3D is only out for 2 weeks anyway.

Toy Story 2 3D 9/10 Still a great laugh and 3D added a wholw new feeling to the film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar is now the highest grossing film in the world ever. Still not top in the US though. Apparently more people went to see Avatar in 2d last week than went to see Legion. In the UK it averaged 12 grand over the weekend per screen it was on

Awesome. Avatar is going to do for 3D what what the Jazz Singer did for talkies

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched `The Firm` last night, The 2009 remake and it sucked big time. What sort of lanquage were they speaking in some scenes?:rolleyes:
1/10......:td:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the book of Eli

i enjoyed it, a bit violent but a good yarn about a mans quest to deliver the last of a certain book - cant say any more might spoil the plot
7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Taking Of Pelham 123 - 10/10 imo great movie with lots of action

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If the actor is good (as Robert Downey Jr is), his or her nationality should not matter.

Look at James Bond. He is the quintessential Englishman, yet out of the 6 men who have played him (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig), only two (Roger Moore and Daniel Craig) have been English.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inside Man - 8/10.

Excellent film, that made me think.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Last two films I saw:

Book of Eli: After WW3, Civilisation has collapsed and Anarchy reigns. Denzel Washington is head west across the US, and comes across a small town that is run by Gary Oldman, who is excellent as the bad guy. Denzel Washington is, as usual, Excellent. Mila Kunis is good, once you get past the surprise of seeing Meg from Family Guy on the big screen. 7/10, but it loses out a bit because it slows down in the middle.

Daybreakers: Excellent Sci Fi, with good performances from all the cast (even though I had the irritating feeling I'd seen the leading lady before, but could not find where I had even after an IMDB lookup). 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

(500) Days of Summer - 9/10

The best film I have seen about love - the highs, the lows, the joy, the pain, the reality.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 3D.The whole family gives it 10..:tu: :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 3D

8/10

Awesome FX etc., 3D was good (but not worth paying over £10 for a ticket), good action at the end. Better than Titanic, at least, but I'd rather watch T2 or Aliens.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar - 8/10 as well but 10/10 for sfx. Simply the best I've ever seen.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

and my bloody cinema has only got 2 showings of Avatar now.... 1 at 16.45 and the other at 20.45 now how can you go to the cinema for those times if you have to be at work early :(
dying to watch it in 3d now....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

To be fair it has been out for nearly 8 weeks now. I'm sure there would have been more time slots available if you had gone sooner ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avatar 3D 10\10

Just got back from watching it, totally immersed in Pandora with the stunning visual effects & I really enjoyed the 3D visuals something that I havnt experienced since I saw Jaws 3D (no comparison lol)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Edge Of Darkness (Mel Gibson and Ray Winston)- It was very predictable. 4/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Only 23 years after everyone else, and in anticipation of the upcoming sequel, Wall Street - 7/10. I can see why the time is right for WS 2.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

UP - 5/10 I found it quite boring but the kids seemed to like it.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 The Squeakquel - 6/10 - Not as good as the first. Kids really enjoyed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched it recently too and i actually found it quite funny. Some great one liners and that soundtrack certainly brought back a few memories.
A lot of it was actually filmed 5 minutes away from here on my late mother-in-laws old Estate.
I`ll give it a 6/10 just for the laughs & dodgy looking tracksuits.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The original film had the football match scene at the start filmed on Blackheath Common, my old neighbourhood.!:)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I wouldn`t actually mind being back in my own old neighbourhood but as it stands we`re a only mere 5 minutes from the Common ourselves.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Wolfman: 6/10. Good cast. Good SFX. OK story. Interesting to see where I work doubling as the Lambeth Asylum. I know this as I actually got to watch some of the stunts being filmed.

One effect that is used a few times, but done quite well is the transformation. It looks painful. Which it should. Such a transformation would break every bone in your body, so you would be in agony while it was happening. The only other werewolf film I have seen that gets this right is An American Werewolf In London. The others just seem to use Morphs or fades..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Timecop (on TV) - 6/10, but good fun.

Only problem is, why (in 1994) did they think everyone in 2004 would be driving electric armoured cars?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Megashark vs Giant Octopus

Every bit as good as expected :)

From the dodgy mini subs the well dodgy special effects and the total lack of acting.

Points I hear you cry - well let me see as a film 1 or even 2 out of 10.

As one to watch as it's SO bad - 10 / 10

Avatar: IMAX 3D Experience - 8/10

Absolutely brilliant, and in IMAX 3D rather than the normal 3D is so much better and with the huge screen you feel as if you're there :)
