- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsHayden ChristensenNatalie PortmanEwan McGregorTen years after initially meeting, Anakin Skywalker shares a forbidden romance with Padmé Amidala, while Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers a secret clone army crafted for the Jedi.Whilst the entire prequel series was spoiled by Hayden Christensen, this particular installment was gag inducing.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartIan McKellenHugh JackmanThe X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.Whilst First Class was fresh, classy, interesting and entirely likable, with Brian Singer back in the director's chair we were served up something that was like the first set of movies mated with Inception. It was long, had plot holes, was predictable and boring.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.Whilst anyone who hasn't read the books will tell you this was a brilliant movie, Jackson and team altered the story and characters rather too much for my liking. The ents were cool, but for me there was very little else to like about this, compared with the book.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsDennis HopperCaroline WilliamsJim SiedowA radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas marshal hunts them.The utterly brilliant original inspired countless rip offs and reboots, but this AWFUL sequel had to be one of the worst movies ever made.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossFreedom fighters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation.Ugh.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsJeff GoldblumJulianne MoorePete PostlethwaiteA research team is sent to the Jurassic Park Site B island to study the dinosaurs there, while an InGen team approaches with another agenda.Take a literary classic by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, mix it with a modern classic by Michael Crichton, it could have been great. It wasn't awful. Few good moments. But just not as good as the first. By far.
- DirectorJuan Carlos FresnadilloStarsJeremy RennerRose ByrneRobert CarlyleSix months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes according to plan.Whilst it wasn't awful, this sequel was bleak beyond words and in the end, pointless.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsSigourney WeaverCharles S. DuttonCharles DanceReturning from LV-426, Ellen Ripley crash-lands on the maximum-security prison Fiorina 161, where she discovers that she has unwittingly brought along an unwelcome visitor.So someone discovered CGI and went crazy with it. Gone is the tension and scares. Here to stay is a clumsy computer graphic Alien and many, many, many POV shots. Not scary. Just boring and embarrassing in the end
- DirectorDavid R. EllisStarsA.J. CookAli LarterTony ToddDeath is stalking Kimberly Corman and multiple survivors of a deadly highway accident.Unbelievably this franchise has now spawned - what is it 5? - sequels, each one worse than the last. They should have put a bullet in it with this one though.
- DirectorMichael Caton-JonesStarsSharon StoneDavid MorrisseyDavid ThewlisNovelist Catherine Tramell is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass to evaluate her. Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and lured into a seductive game.Yep. It exists. And it's baaaaaaad.
