  1.  Taken 2, never really got going

    Posted: 

    I agree with a lot of the other reviewers, this is a pretty average sequal. I though LN was a bit flat and totally unconvincing but the daughter shone through as did the bad guy. I waited for something to gel and the story to deepen but suddenly the film ended and I felt rather cheated. It is an okay film but nowhere as good as the first Taken, shame!

  2.  Ted - total rubbish

    Posted: 

    Do not buy or watch this film it is total rubbish and a complete insult to your intellegance. Good idea, but it is full of crass, unfunny humour that does not enteratin or amuse. A definite NO!

  3.  The Bourne Legacy - dissappointing

    Posted: 

    Being an avid fan of the original trilogy I just had to see this film and although as a stand alone film it would probably have been an okay film as a sequel it was totally disappointing. It seems that they have taken ingredients from the other three films and put them in a blender. So much of the film is there for the sake of being there, for instance, if you know you are being stalked by a drone would you really try and capture a wolf, please? The first half of the film is so intertwined with what has gone before it is too complicated to be entertaining, the producers have just tried to be too clever and it has not worked. Sorry I did not value this film as a sequel to a classic trilogy, back to th drawing board boys.

  4.  Without Evidence - rubbish

    Firts thing to say is that AJ does not star in this, although her acting out shines all others. She has a small roll in what is almost an amateur flick, it is a dreadful film, don't bother.

  5.  Four Lions, speechless

    Posted: 

    We had no idea what this film was about when we placed it into the DVD player and after the first few minutes our instincts were to turn it off. But for some reason we continued to watch it and for some reason it held us, so eventually we watched the complete film. This film is very well made and clearly has a message, what that message is and who it is addressed to I have no idea. It is comical in places but also extremely tragic and sad. It tells the story of four/five misguided and amateur suicide bombers as they set about their chosen tasks to undermine western society. It's a little confusing really, you find yourself asking: Is it a comedy or a political satire, the message gets lost especially in the eventual demise of our lions? Was I supposed to find humour in watching men blow themselves up? In the end these tragic characters were not funny; they were dangerous, idiotic fools with the British police portrayed as gun happy buffoons. If you can take the whole thing with a pinch of salt watch it, but if you have impassioned feelings about the subject matter, on either side, DON'T!

  6.  Woman in Black, genuinely spooky

    Posted: 

    This is a good old fashioned spooky film with excellent photography and lighting with exceptional timing. It does hold you throughout and the crescendo at the end is a little predictable but still gripping, however the actual conclusion is not in keeping with the darkness of the rest of the film and I found that a little pathetic. If you like soft horror instead of bloody terror then watch this film, it will get to those hairs on the back of your neck.

  7.  Breaking Dawn, doesn't stand alone

    Posted: 

    It's not a bad film although very slow to begin with, I know the love thing is part of the story but the begining did drag on a bit. I don't think this film could stand alone but as part of an ongoing series it's okay and ended well with the confrontation of w'wolves and vamps, with a little twist thrown in for good measure. If you have seen all the other films then you have to watch it, if you haven't then don't bother.

  8.  Hunger games, overated, unconvincing

    Posted: 

    I was expecting to see a film full of action but was totally disappointed, it took forever to get started, the plot was vague and unconvincing. The production and acting were good but everything else was laking. The plot was so very thin and the film did not convey the fear and desperation a person would feel if put in this situation. At times it was as if they were taking a walk in the park collecting flowers, sorry but it just did not happen for me and the film does not deserve the hype it received. I wish film makers would realise that if they over inflate the look of a film then watchers just come away disappointed.

  9.  Mirror Mirror, okay if you are 12

    Posted: 

    It is a film for kids, so don't bother if you are over 12 years old. It's pretty week and the acting is not at all convincing, Julia Roberts appears no more evil than next doors cat, the prince is completely wet and the characters that are meant to be funny aren't. Not a great film but okay for kids at Christmas.

  10.  Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - Good but lacking

    Posted: 

    Having been an absolute fan of TTSS since reading the book/s and watching the BBC production I found this film disappointing and lacking. It is a good film in its own right but does not satisfy the true George Smiley (John LeCarre) devotee. The original story is very much about the complexity and interaction of the characters and that is what is sadly lacking in this production, the characters have no depth, there is no proper interpretation of the key players, the film is just a gloss over of the original story and I have to say for me a total disappointment. Having said that, get the film, watch it, it is a good movie if you like slow, intricate thrillers.
