For some reason I enjoyed watching this second time round. The first time in cinema was a bit of blur :erm:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Adventures Of Tintin - 6/10 (probably lost a bit not being in 3D and being on a 10" screen)
Cowboys and Aliens - 8/10
Immortals - 3/10 meh!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Usual Suspects. It's only taken me 16 years to get around to watching it....

Avatar 9/10 - superb film

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mothers day - 5/10

Everything must go - 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Game Change - 8.5/10.

Excellent HBO movie about how Sarah Palin was chosen as the 2008 Republican running-mate, and what happened afterwards...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

John Carter - 6/10.

Some really good action in it.

You need to suspend your belief in a good plot, and remember it was written a long time ago.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The plot has very little to do with the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs as the real storyline is much better only the names carry over to the movie and the pretext of being on Mars, I have read them a few times and I am presently reading them again.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

TT : Closer to the Edge, Guy Martin. 9/10

These guys are the true legends and should be on top dollar instead of Stoner, Rossi and the rest.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hunger Games. 8/10

Very good but borrows more than a bit from Battle Royale

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well the writer hadn't even read/watched Battle Royale according to this article.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn 8/10

Excellent film and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thor - 7/10

Not bad and a nice bit of escapism.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shooter 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

21 Jump Street 8/10

It's not often I go to the cinema for a comedy, and wasn't expecting much, but I really enjoyed it. :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm seeing this tonight and expecting good things!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:td:I felt it was too short..only 1 hr 1/4

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. 7/10

Pretty good film but very samey. Not much to differentiate it from the other 3 apart from the cast and location.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes l agree it was quite short when you compare it to some of these two and a half hour films we have had in the last few years.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It was 1 hour and 55 minutes.;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Perhaps it just seemed like 75 minutes.

I must admit, to me, it seemed like all of 150 minutes :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mutiny On The Buses-Right up my street i love the double entendre.

For me i Give it 9/10.:)

Probably the best of the "on the Buses " movies.:)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

As a compliment, that's up there with "one of the nicest serial killers" and "the best-tasting poison"..... :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Highly amusing Hugh.:D

I just love the classic british comedies.:D:D

On the buses.
Till Death Us Do Part.
In sickness and in health.
Are you being served.
steptoe and son.
All the carry on's.
Fawlty Towers.

All including the film variants are in my collection of classic british comedy.:)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yogi Bear a great family film 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I remember it was only 75 minutes, I was shocked. That said, I watched in bangkok, maybe they cut scenes, wouldn't be first time for that :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw

Sad film

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Puss in boots 9/10

7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Perfect Host........quirky and funny......9/10
The Hunger Games......better than I expected......7/10
Tower Heist.........thought it would be funnier but a good film nevertheless....8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Battleship. 6.5/10

A good popcorn movie but not going to win any prizes for the storyline.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I agree. I found the lead character stretched my credibility factor a bit too much. Otherwise it was bearable...seen worse, seen better

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

tremors...just watching it on tv...still funny. 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sorry dear Colin but its a load of rubbish.:)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Masters of the Universe 8/10

Watched it on Sky Anytime and its a pretty good film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yup - good dumb fun, with the standard 'rawk' soundtrack; enjoyable, though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jurassic Park (BD)

I bought the Blu-ray of this in ASDA yesterday for only £7 [part of Universal's "100th Anniversary" range of releases and re-releases, all only £7 there].

It's been years since I last saw it. Goldblum and the kids are as annoying as I remember, but at least Goldblum has little to say or do for the 2nd half. The FX have held up quite well considering the film's age, and the whole thing looks great in 1080p24. The DTS soundtrack is brilliant.

8/10 for the film, 10/10 for the sound.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Top Gun...Sky+'d it the other night....still a classic even if its looking a bit long in the tooth now :) 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just got round to watching Thor..... 6 out of 10 for me, the ending was pretty lame.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Avengers ["Avengers Assemble"]

I saw this last night. I absolutely *loved* it. Awesome film.

Joss Whedon has created the best comic-book superhero film I have ever seen.

Brilliant action scenes, dialogue, and humour all through it. I spent most of the film with a massive grin on my face, and had to resist clapping several times. Myself and the rest of the audience laughed and cheered multiple times throughout the film.

10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

l have to admit l had some doubts about this film but with your write up l don't think l have any worries on that score anymore.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Excellent "review" Matt :) I'm hoping to see it this weekend and although it looked good I was hoping the story was up to it too...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Haywire - 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avengers (Avengers Assemble)

10/10 nothing at fault at all. In my eyes the best superhero/comic book movie ever. It was that good. Some really great moments and every character gets explored and used brilliantly. Ruffalo is also the best Banner/Hulk I've seen.

Fav quote was

Loki 'I have an army'
Stark 'We have a hulk'

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

One of the best scenes of that involves Loki and Hulk.



It went something like that anyways.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Magnificent Seven 10/10 A truly great Western.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw the Avengers today,

Brilliant film, great humour strong story and brilliant cast

I'm going to have to give it a 10/10 wanted to see it again when I was on my way out.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed 100%. I haven't enjoyed a film this much in ages.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Black Hawk Down (2001) - 10/10

Anyone that has not seen this film must watch it. Still one of the greatest films I've ever seen.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265086/

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 1 - Still as brilliant now as it was then 10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avengers...excellent film, saw it this PM :) 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Another high score for the Avengers 9.5/10 from me.

So many excellent bits in it. The hulk giving a playful tap to another character got a good laugh. I saw it in bog standard 2D, is it worth rewatching in IMAX?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

another 9 for Avengers from me as well :) thought the hulk --> Loki bit was funny as hell :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Valhalla Rising (2009)
Very good :tu:

Off to see the Avengers in 3D in about 2 hours :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avengers 8/10

We saw it at out local Odeon "Liemax". A lot of the film did look really cool in 3d, especially the visual effects of Iron Man's HUD, flying scenes etc, but close up action sequences looked a bit blurry and couldn't see what was going on, so although I was glad we paid the extra, if you've seen it once in 2d, i wouldn't say it's worth paying out again.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to see Avengers again today in 3D and in a D-Box seat. Still 10/10

Amazing film and so well made.

Puny God!!

---------- Post added at 18:47 ---------- Previous post was at 18:46 ----------

Why have you referred to IMAX as liemax?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Because most Imax cinemas in England, aren't proper Imax screens :( They're a bit bigger and curver than the normal large screens, but real Imax is much much bigger

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's not really fake IMAX though as its an official IMAX screen and still a large screen. Glasgow isn't allowed to get a digital IMAX though as we have a n IMAX alady at the science centre and IMAX impose limits on how close screens can be.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Off to see Avengers again tomorrow at the Giant Screen in Brum (formerly Imax) Can't wait! :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw Deliverance (Burt Reynolds - 1975) last night. Brilliant film. 9 out of 10 for me!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes its still a brilliant film even 37 years later.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Dictator 8/10

Another over the top comedy. Loved it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Whisky Galore - Another wonderful Ealing classic 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Avengers Assemble 3D - 9/10.

Good fun film, with some great wisecracks from Tony Stark (and one from Hulk...)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My wife, who is a massive Tony Stark fan thought the Hulk stole the show.

I still need to go and see the film myself so can't comment.

Saw Inception again over the weekend. Not a bad fim - 7 out of 10 from me.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Revolver - wtf/10.

I like Jason Statham films, I like Guy Ritchie films, but this was total and utter pants.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - simply brilliant 10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Safe - 7/10; Jason Statham doing what he does best

Men in Black 3 - 6/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I saw the original The Mechanic earlier this week, with Charles Bronson and a very young String Fellow Hawke (Jan Michael Vincent). I enjoyed it. Couldnt beleieve it was made in 1972. One of the baddies was talking into a radio... the antenna was about 3 foot long lol....

7 out of 10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prometheus. 7/10. Maybe 8/10 if I'm feeling generous.

A strange one, it was a good film but with a few tweaks could of been absolutely superb. It still leaves a lot of unanswered questions but very enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

l see you gave Promethus 7 out of 10 Derek is that because you feel it could have been a bit better and how do you think it measures up to the original Alien films.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yep. I think it could have led more directly into the first film.

In ranking I'd go:

Alien - Aliens : Both superb and depending on my mood both are equal favourites
Prometheus - Very good, could easily stand on its own.
Alien 3 - Quite under rated. I liked it.
Alien Resurection - Not bad until the 'newborn' bit which killed the film stone dead.
All the AVP tosh

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes l have to admit the first was absolutely brilliant as it had that wonderful claustrophobic feel to it and yet the second was all action and that was good two and although 3 and 4 were very watchable its very hard to match the first two but l will watch Prometheus and will then give my humble opinion on it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prometheus

7/10

I went in with rather low expectations, but I actually quite liked it.

Not as good as Alien (or Aliens), but a hell of a lot better than Alien 3 and (especially) Alien Resurrection.

Fassbender was (as always) brilliant, and outshone the rest of the cast.

Very interesting premise and expansion of the "Alien universe". A bit short though. Many things could (should!) have been expanded upon. I hope that the BD/DVD release has a nice long Director's Cut...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prometheus 7/10

Not quite what I expected but still very enjoyable and delves in to the back story of the universe a lot more. Still room for a sequel or two as well as it is still set years before Alien.

As above fassbender was great.

Don't expect lots of scares and running. It's more talking and exploring/explaining.

Don't think it was too short though. Running time is over 2 hours.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

MIB 3. 7/10.
The Dictator. 7/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

MIB 3D - 7/10 nice twist at the end.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mib 3d 6/10

Re: Films for 2012
 

Prometheus 7/10

I was so looking forward to this film and I was disappointed. It's not a bad film, in its own right but it could have been better. Characterisation was lacking. I don't want to give too much away but people die, and I didn't care about any of them but one.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prometheus 8/10

I really liked it...



Haywire 2/10

Just Gina Carano meandering around rooftops in Dublin for a long while ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Prometheus 8 out of 10

Good movie, well worth a look.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched that a couple of weeks ago.

The trailer made it look exciting.

The trailer lied :(

Excellent fight scenes, but unfortunately the rest of it was boring. Dull characters you don't give a crap about, dull story...
