Get hold of a copy of the the remake of Dawn of the Dead, immeasurably superior film also with "fast" zombies.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Last king of scotland 2/10
Really dull. "In my country" and "Blood diamond" were both so much better for different reasons.
Really didn't care about the main charactor. Forest Whitaker really needs to get his eyelids sorted out.
The only interesting bit for me was the Israeli hostages and that was only because it reminded me of Raid on Entebbe with Charles Bronson (6/10)

Confetti 6/10
Actually not bad, there was nothing else to watch so gave it a go. The wedding organisers are fantastic, and there are a few funnny moments.
Definitely a veg out movie if there's nothing better on, and the end is good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Going to see Shrek 3 tonight

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hot Fuzz. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched that this afternoon, i'll give it an 8/10 too.

Not as funny as I was led to believe but great never the less.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Typically British humour, very funny :rofl: 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Matrix (HD DVD)


Been a few years since I last watched The Matrix.

Still awesome :D

9.5/10


I'll be watching Reloaded & Revolutions over the weekend... I'm hoping they're not actually as bad as I remember....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to see that myself too, Was very good, found myself constantly laughing (even if it wasnt exactly belly laughter). Though I still think Shrek 2 was better. 8/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I would also give it 8/10 I thought the second one was a bit of a let down but Shrek 3 was good :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I`ll give it a wee look once my connection is capable of handling "fast" zombies again;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed, but i was so annoyed to find the HD-DVDs were not OAR.

anyway last movie i saw was wild hogs

5/10

had some amusing scenes, only watched because i didnt have a choice :p:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Goodbye Bafana -the story of Nelson Mandela 10/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Matrix Reloaded (HD DVD)


Hmm.


Not watched this since 2003.


Surprisingly not anywhere near as crap as I remember.


7.5/10


Still not a patch on the original, but not too bad.


Worst scene was that really dull sequence in Zion, with Morpheus' speech, & then the dancing / sex. YAWN.


But the rest was good.

Burly Brawl was better than I remembered, & the Freeway Chase was excellent.



The Matrix Revolutions (HD DVD)

8/10 (10/10 with bonus points for Monica Belucci ;) ).


No really lame bits in it, like the dance/sex scene in Reloaded.

Very enjoyable. Excellent "Dock Battle".




2 & 3 were such a let down for me when I first saw them.

I loved 1, thought it was amazing. So I had a lot of hope for 2 & 3. Plus they had a hell of a lot of hype. So much hope & so much hype, that there was no way they could live up to it.

Watching them now, a few years later, without all the expectations, & without all the hype, they are actually not that bad. Not as good as the 1st, but still worth a watch.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ghost rider 8/10
Bit slow to start but the effects are good, no slow moody bits like Spiderman3, didn't spot Stan "the man" Lee, so I'm going to have to watch it again.

Celestine Prophecies 6/10
Not as good as the book, doesn't explain things as well as it should, a bit low budget (it all went on the aura effects I guess), but it did remind me how disconnected from the universe I've become in my cynical old age :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4.0


Kick. Ass.


9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4.0
Havn't seen the other Die Hard films but really enjoyed this :tu: 8/10

Hostel 2
As sick and disgusting as the first, loved it :D 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You really should watch the first three Die Hard movies! :D


Die Hard is excellent.

Die Hard 2 is pretty good.

Die Hard 3 (Die Hard with a Vengeance) is very good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Hostel 2 a while ago :erm: (Don't ask how;))..it was sick and twisted alright, but there really was no depth to the storyline.. 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So identical to the first one then?

To me it was like someone had watched the really funny Eurotrip (8/10) and then SAW (7/10) and thought "hey, I can mix the two and make a quick buck"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4.0 in the UK)

8/10

Pretty good movie, some great action sequences and a few good jokes.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Escape from New York, always liked it 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Still haven't seen Die Hard 4. Really want to but haven't had a chance to get round to it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4 - 8/10.

Funny, and loved the way he got out at the end - hard, or what?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4.0. 8/10

Very funny in parts. Totally unrealistic action scenes but fantastic to watch none the less. Excellent scenes with the fighter plane.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

argh! I have yet to see Die Hard 4... hopefully this upcoming weekend, I'll get a chance to:)

Password Swordfish
7,5 / 10
Got some really cool scenes but doesn't keep it up for the whole length of the movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Brotherhood of the Wolf (HD DVD)

Excellent French historical-drama-horror-action movie.

Plus it has Monica Belucci & Émilie Dequenne :D

9/10




DéjàVu (DVD)

Hmm.

SF crime thriller from Tony Scott (Enemy of the State, Crimson Tide, Top Gun, etc.), starring Denzel Washington & Val Kilmer.


Pretty good, & quite watchable.

Nothing special though, & not something I'd be bothered about watching again.

6/10

Die Hard 4.0 Bruce Willis Legand
 

:nworthy: Hello People's i wached Die Hard 4.0 the other day and i have to admit it's one of the best die harss there is. Ok its made by americans so its got its chezzy bits but its jam packed with loads of action and a realy good story line.
Has anyone eles seen this film if so what you think of it let me know.

:monkey: Thanks Monkey Film Rating **** 4 & 1/2 Stars

I wanted to Created a new Thred On just Die Hard 4.0 not a therd that is baced on different films! ???
Why move my thred to differnt location :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Deja Vu looked so good..and then? I heard nothing of it. It seemed to vanish completely and I didn't even know it was out, sadly.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Fountain - wow 8/10
Very intreaguing, you just want to keep watching, definitely not one to leave your brain at the door for.
The space scenes (with a spherical spaceship) have a beautiful nebula not made with CGI :)

Blood and Chocolate - 2/10
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Can I sue for my wasted time?

Arthur and the invisibles - 7/10
Very enjoyable, sometimes felt badly edited though.

Music and lyrics - 7/10
A good romantic film, Hugh Grant actually playing a decent guy this time.
Quite funny too, in a subtle way.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just finished watching Butterfly effect. Absolutely brilliant. Heart touching. Definately qualifies for one of the best movies I've ever seen.

---------- Post added at 23:10 ---------- Previous post was at 21:28 ----------

Now watched Butterfly effect 2. Wasn't as good as the first, but still worth watching. 6.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shrek the Third (cinema)

Hmm. Quite funny in places, but not as good as the first two, & not anywhere near as "laugh out loud" funny as them.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix excellent film nice and dark 10 / 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4. Very involving (mostly because of the hacker nonsense ;))Traditionaly action packed, very good. 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to the pics the other night and done a double whammy... culture exchange with the new lady friend.

Harry Pothead.. 1/10.. really is not my cup of tea...

then onto Die Hard 4.0... 10/10... was a brilliant film. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's the only movie I've watched more than three times over. It's Fight Club. An absolute masterpiece in my mind, I just can't get over how good it is!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"Disaster". Aptly-named film. It is a disaster. So much so that I stopped watching it, and am considering asking Virgin Media for my money back.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 2007.
The robots have their own character and are humourous too.
Good robotic fisticuffs and the effects are superb. Sadly, an autobot kicks the bucket *sniffle*

I enjoyed it, but the kids seem disinterested :erm:

9 out of 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I read somewhere that it's something you really have to engage your brain in and so it's not suitable for the kids..? I haven't watched it though, so I can't comment.

Just finished watching 28 weeks later. It was a great film, but it's hard to actually relax considering the contrast in the volume of the dialog, for example one second somebody's whispering, the next a hoard of Zombies (which is obviously central to the storyline) are screaming their arses off..but I guess that's what it's all about :P

Didn't realise it was this late either. Think I'd best be heading off to get some rest..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah that was good as well... ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"You've failed me yet again, Starscream!"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix - late showing last night so not many people there thank god.

Found the storyline a tad confusing and it seemed more like it was building upto the next film so not one you could watch without having seen the others. However it was overall really good so 8/10 from me....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Going to see that at the Imax cinema in Waterloo. Apparently the largest screen in London and the last twenty minutes are in 3d.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If it's 'proper' imax 3d - it will be very impressive.

The imax is an amazing place to see films - saw Matrix reloaded, and revolutions there - they were very well suited to the massive screen.

They also gave us a demo of the 3D system there - it was none of the crappy blue and red glasses stuff - yes you do need glasses for it, but they have normal looking lenses.
The 3d was so realistic

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Never watched anything in actual 3d. Will be a complete revolution when it becomes the standard..if it becomes the standard

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

quigley down under a western with a twist:D great movie 8/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shrek the Third, bit of a disappointment tbh, it's lost it's magic, no belly laughs just going through the motions really 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So how was your flight to the states then? You know since its not out here until Friday? :D :p:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finally seen Hot Fuzz 9/10. Thought it was really good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

some like it hot - Not as funny as every review told me. The end was funny!

hills have eye 2 - dire dire dire dire but had a good way to kill someone in it.

3 dollars trilogy. possibly the greatest movies ever. Not at all as doom and gloom as i thought they would be. A superb music score and plenty of funny bits...they were also a little bit clever and that surprised me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 8/10

Really enjoyed it, not enough of Helena Bonham-Carter in it........

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Suprisingly cheap. :angel:
Matt came too. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Business - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429715/

bit lacking in the story dept but plenty of language & violence

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I heard a reviewer say her performance reminded him of Cherie Blair :Yikes:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched die hard 4 and fantastic four last night.

Both cracking films!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4 ---- 6/10

My reason for the low'ish score is because its was just too OTT, the jet, the hacking into whatever on a mobile, the dialogue, I can go on and on. But the action was good, still enjoyable, just could have been a whole lot better.

Maybe if it was an 18 cert and instead of just cashing in / selling out, it could have worked out better.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i watched the fantastic 4 (silver surfer)

Now why oh why do most super hero films suck. Special effects do not make a film, naff jokes and a naked lady do not make a film. F4 silver surfer is almost as bad as the original original fantastic 4 (the one that never got a release but u can get it if u look hard enough) I feel that Fantastic 4 should be relegated to the naff section of superhero films along with any Xmen + Hulk + dredevil + electra film all a disapointment all filmed in exactly the same way and all of them lacking the very basics of a Good film. Its almost like watching a film by Roland Emmerich but at least he can be witty sometimes.
2/10 and thats JUST for the idea that Alba was naked...

I also had the pleasure to watch The Philidelphia Story (No not the tom hanks film) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/
The Philidelphia Story has some big names staring in it but as i didnt grow up watching them it didnt make me think "ohhh this must be good" - Anyway after watching the philidelphia story i gotta say that Grant, Stewart and Hepburn are masters. The story was fantastic (originally a play) and the filming/music was superb the only bad thing was i didnt understand why stewart feel in love with herpburn so quickly.
anyway 10/10

To continue my new found love for westerns i dug up Pale rider / unforgiven / the outlaw josey wales. I shall be watching them next.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Next up is Transformers............

well this happens a lot, its a useless script, naff plot, and semi ok acting.
But Michael Bay does it again for me, i just love his films. Just like don simpson movies i think they are rubbish but i just enjoy them.

Best bit about transformers "ONE SHALL STAND, ONE SHALL FALL" they could of carried on the line a little more but you cant have it all.

Anyway by no means a good film but oh yes i almost cried at the end and i did a little WOOP.

It just the long list of crap but excellent films that you have to watch with your brain turned off.
8/10

Could of been a 10 IF! they used original models + had more megatron + prime fights +

I can only hope that with the second film they actually think about what to do and not showcase what $200 million buys you at ILM :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Resident Evil, Apocolypse. Quite a good film, not quite as good as the first, but still very much worth watching. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers - 9/10

Absolutely incredible film, best GCI I have ever seen. OK the plot was a bit weak but who cares when you've got tanks, planes, jeeps, cars, CD players that can turn in to robots?

Excellent little dig at Indian callcentres too :D

Could have had a few more robots (there were only about 10) and I've got a feeling the sequel will be rubbish but definately worth the money.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just back from seeing Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix, great film 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Gonna see Harry Potter later on (tommorow). From what I've heard it seems good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So it's not the last film you saw then ;) :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Bubba Ho-tep

I'd give it about an 8/10. It's quite funny and like there's only 1 bit that makes you jump.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agree.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers - 9/10

The must see film of the year. Finally getting to see giant robots fighting and blowing stuff up. Also the cast were brilliant.

Hairspray - 8/10

Saw this at the weekend. Totally different to the original as this is based on the broadway musical. It works a lot better and is a lot more enjoyable to watch. The cast were great, John Travolta was superb as was Chris Walken.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 10/10.
The best film I have seen in ages, Its the first time ive left the cinema in a long time without feeling totally disapointed.
The CGI was great, The story could have been a lot worse and the nostalgia was damn right overwhelming, I couldnt help myself pointing out to my girlfriend the VW beetle and its relevence to bumblebee in the scene in the car lot (She now thinks/knows im sad :) ).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers

Giant robots fighting other giant robots, plus lots of explosions. What more could you want? :D

9/10



Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix

8/10

Good, but I think it missed out a bit too much of the book.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 6/10

Very thin on main plot elements and poorly strung together as a result.
Action scenes in the second half were very good though so redeemed things somewhat.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Hills have Eyes. Hmm..Was ok, not the thickest plot but put together in a somewhat traditional way..very similar to Wolf Creek IMO. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hot Fuzz, I enjoyed it but thought it would be a bit funnier 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hot Fuzz was very humourous O.o

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4.0 (again, 1st time was on my own on a day off, this time was with Ally)


Yippe-Kai-Yay....

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just Got back from The Simpsons Movie - 9.5/10. Even after watching all those trailers, it was still funny:D Kids really enjoyed it!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Norbert.................give it a miss! 2/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just seen h potter.... hmmm..........7/10 didn't do the book justice I thought, but re watchable at a later date

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

watch the orginal (if u havnt)

and watch last house on the left for some more fun!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I remember reading that Norbit cost him an honouree Oscar, after the way he treated the mother of his child, imo good

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Michael Bay is due a serious kicking, not since Episode one when "Uncle George" urinated all over my childhood, have I felt this let down by a much anticipated film.

The story line was poor, but when you heard Peter Cullen's voice as Prime, you could kind of forget that, but then to hear Hugo Weaving as Megatron!?!
His voice lacked all the menace and venom of Frank Welker's Megatron, they kept him for the game, why not the movie?

All in all what a waste of £5

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Memento 9.5/10

Fantastic...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

One of the stories floating around the net which I read was Frank did not like the storyline one bit and refused to do the movie when asked.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers. Suprisingly few people in the cinema, sadly..perhaps it was just because it was early..either way, this film was fantastic. Wouldn't say it's one for the younger kids though but I'm sure the action would grip them anyway. It's brilliant, 9.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

couldnt agree more. But still best film ever ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I would give my left gonad for the cinema to be that quiet everytime I go. I hate the constant chomp chomp of popcorn and kids nattering for the whole film. I went on Tuesdays to watch HP5 for a second time hoping for a bit more peace than the week before some stupid cow took a crying baby I mean whats that all about

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Simpsons Movie


8/10


Bloody brilliant.

Very funny.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hostel Part 2 - 9/10

Excellent film, brilliant death scenes a few nice surprises in there which I wasnt prepaired for to boot. I could see a story line to finish this as a trilogy with that weird chap always saying "I can help you"

Great film :cool:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter 3D @ imax Glasgow

fantastic.......

I dont read the books but I do like the films.

and the 3D was great, very impressive, although, more of it could have been in 3D, somebits were a bit fuzzy, I think they tried to make it to 3D, but still fantastic.

ik

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Haven't seen anything in 3D yet.. -.-

Went to watch Harry Potter and it was brilliant..not much more I can say as I'm too tired 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Simpsons Movie :( Sadly lacking and waaaay under the expected :( just average ( just ) 4 / 10 :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hot Fuzz - 3/10.

Can't believe I paid £3.50 to rent this extremely overrated rubbish :td:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mmmmm, I was disappointed with the film, again, everyone was on about this film being sooooooooooooo funny, it just didn't do it for me :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter Film 6/10, Book 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Potter at the IMAX London, which has the largest screen in Britain. To give you a rough idea, the screen is about 4 storeys tall.

Can't remember how much the tickets cost, as I booked them back in June, but IIRC, they were roughly in line with London cinema prices (so ,about £11 to £12). Large popcorn and coke for £3 each item.

Popcorn tasted microwaved, but was no better or worse than the popcorn at my local Vue cinema (and the prices were slightly lower, and the service considerably quicker).

The trailers were all presented in 3D, so we had lots of clips of dinousaurs poking their heads out of the screen, and walking over the camera, which caused most of the audience to jump. The 3D looked amazing and added real depth to the picture.

8/10

Then, on to the main film. It was amazing. It was exciting, possibly slightly scary for kids, and funny in places. The battle at the Ministry of Magic was presented in 3D, and, while in places, the two images weren't aligned properly, it did look amazing.

Oh, and the 12KW , 40 channel sound system meant it was loud and sounded amazing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So everything the opposite of the Odeon cinema on the Wirral? xD

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Told ya it was good! :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

find me guilty,vin diesel forget about the tough guy image he usually portrays this guy can act !! brilliant film 9/10:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the latest fantastic 4 film, silver surfer - not usually my cup of tea, but once you get over the lame character / title, it's not that bad 8/10. in the same vein, spiderman 3 sent me to sleep. 1/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Blood Diamond - Incredibly powerful and moving, based on a true story (Shame about Leonardo Di Caprio's iffy South African accent though)

Think somebody mentioned Equilibrium absoloutely fantastic film, Did not go down well at the cinema but has attraced a huge cult following.

For anyone who loves their dark, black comedys I can highly reccomend Fargo.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rataouille (sp) 6/10.

Most of the good bits were in the trailer. Kids would like it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Excellent films :tu:



"Equilibrium" is a favourite of mine. The "Gun Kata" is especially great :D Pity Kurt Wimmer's next movie, "UltraViolet" was so poor :(



"Fargo" is brilliant. If you like that, then I'd recommend "Blood Simple". I do like most of the Coen Brothers' other movies, but those two are definitely my favourites.
