  1.  Thank god they didnt dub it

    Posted: 

    This film is one of the best produced in my country in the last decade, if not 'the' best, as far as popcorn films are concerned.

    And thank god they decided not to dub this thing into English. You are going to hear the real performances of Thure Lindhardt, a young and rising star in Hollywood - longtime star in Denmark, and Mads Mikkelsen who's Hollywood career is pretty much on a roll.

    The story of two of the most legendary of our resistance fighters is a riveting drama without equal - the best world war II film I have ever seen. It is a very modern drama, no slow paces, no "boring" scenes, nothing that has no purpose in telling the story. Direction of top caliber - the mise en scene is incredible in every single frame, and the writing is as good as only the Danish and British can do it.

    But... if you are lazy enough to ignore this film, because it is subtitled, then you should be ashamed to call yourself a fan of cinema.

    Enjoy.

  2.  Parkin's a brilliant story smith

    Parkin's prose is fresh, plot is entertaining and The Doctor's character is perfectly captured.

  3.  The return of a classic character!

    Posted: 

    Martin Campbell gave new life to the classic character of Zorro with his 1998 feature, The Mask of Zorro, by creating an action-packed, fast-paced drama with some of the best actors Hollywood has to offer.

    The story is the best since The Mark of Zorro, the sword fights are brilliant and convincing, and the villain is one evil dude. A very nice cocktail indeed.

    What is the hold up on this? Jetix - get a move on! I want it.... I want it, i want it, i want it .... Haha! =)

    I watched this series as a child and i still have my old vhs tape with 2 episodes on it. The best bloody hulk animated seriesa ever. Great animation, awesome stories and just a totally awesome design of the main character himself.

  5.  Awesome fun for the whole family

    This stuff is great.. Fast paced, wonderfully animated, cool character designs and great gags. A nice and fresh take on the Star Wars universe, that is sure to get the kids frothing at the mouth and entertain their parents if not enthuse them.

    A worthy new step in the Star Wars legacy - and the series is pretty darn fun, too.

  6.  Uninteresting, dull, and disappointing...

    ...and it's such a shame, too.

    I'm a very big fan of Babylon 5. I think its one of the best space operas ever made, if not 'the' best. It is in my all-time top five of television favourites. A wonderful story of people, understanding, and love. And ofcourse, som kick-ass action and stuff.

    I had looked forward to this ever since I heard about it being made, which I think is about a year or so ago. I really thought it would be wonderful to get B5 back on my television screen again. I expected JMS to write more wonderful stories to expand his universe some, but how I've been disappointed.

    The best thing about this release is the CGI, which is very good indeed, but really - who cares about the quality of the CGI if the story is just not there?

    These two shorts have no real use in the B5 mythos. JMS has said that he wanted to revisit story ideas, that he could not produce back in the shows original run. Well, it shows. The whole thing really comes off as being little more than an afterthought. An afterthought, that we really do not need.

    It's fun, sure, to watch Boxleitner and Scoggins back in their roles, but... Darn it, I just don't care.

    The story just isn't there.

    And JMS is no director, let that be spoken. He doesnt do a terrible job, but quite alot of the shots puzzled me - especially in the beginning of the first story. Stick to the writing, and do that properly (like we all know you CAN), and let someone else do the direction... It obviously does not mean quality, if you are handling both assignments.

    I sincerely hope that this is not the best that B5 as direct-to-DVD has to offer, because that would be so sad.

    Give it another try, JMS ...
